DC DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS HAVE BEEN ISSUED BUILDING PERMITS AND SITE PERMITS AND ARE CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION. UH THESE ARE ADMINISTRATIVE VARIANCES. WE'VE UH APPROVED THREE PROJECTS AND WE HAVE FIVE UNDER REVIEW. RIGHT NOW. THIS IS THE DEVELOPMENT ON DEVELOPMENTS UNDER REVIEW. WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY 18 PROJECTS UNDER REVIEW. THIS IS JUST A SNAPSHOT OF WHAT THE PROJECTS ARE. DEVELOPMENTS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. 
          THESE ARE ONES THAT HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED EITHER APPROVAL BY THE BOARD OR BY BY ADMINISTRATIVELY. 
          UH, WE HAVE, UM, QUITE A FEW THAT WAS APPROVED IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS THAT ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION. AS WE'VE ALSO, UM PREPARED 10 PRE APPLICATION MEETING REQUEST AND THAT WHAT THAT INCLUDES IS THE, UH PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING TO INQUIRE WHAT THEY CAN DO WITH THE SITE. THEY SUBMIT AN APPLICATION. WE MEET WITH THEM, UH, WITH THE VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS AND TRY TO PROVIDE THEM GUIDANCE. WE ALSO FROM THIS YEAR THERE WAS 265 PUBLIC RECORDS REQUESTS OUT OF THOSE 265. THE DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT COMPLETED 100 AND 31. OR QUITE TO 49. WE ALSO, UH, REVIEWED THE BUSINESS TAX RECEIPT AND MAKE SURE THEY COMPLY WITH ZONING REQUIREMENTS. UM THIS ONE WAS A UNIQUE YEAR. WE UM, HAD A NEW SYSTEM THAT WAS IMPLEMENTED. OUR FINANCE DIRECTOR WAS VERY GOOD AT AT IMPLEMENTING THE BUSINESS TAX RECEIPTS. HOWEVER, WE DID HAVE QUITE A FEW GLITCHES. THAT UM ALWAYS SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN YOU GET A NEW SYSTEM. SO UH, WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY. I KNOW.

          [00:10:02]

THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION AND STAFF IS AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THE COMMISSION MAY HAVE. THANK YOU, I. I ALSO JUST WANTED TO FOLLOW UP BRIEFLY TO, UM WHAT WE WILL BE PROVIDING AS WELL AS THE INFORMATION THAT WE NORMALLY SHARE WITH THE JOINT MEETINGS WITH THE COUNTIES AND CURRENTLY THERE'S SOME INFORMATION GOING AROUND. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT, UM THERE'S DISCUSSION OF SLOW GROWTH VERSUS FAST GROWTH OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT. AND THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS TO CLARIFY THAT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WAS DESIGNED TO MAKE GROWTH. IN THEORY, ALL COULD HAVE COME ON THE FIRST DAY. AND AT THE END OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, YOU WOULD REACH THE END AND IT WOULD STILL BE THE SAME OUTCOME AS IF IT WAS DONE. OVER A 50 YEAR PERIOD OR OVER A TWO YEAR PERIOD BECAUSE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WAS DESIGNED TO CAP THAT THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HAS HAD UM GROWTH PROJECTIONS OF BUILD OUT BETWEEN 25 AND 30,000 PEOPLE SINCE THE EARLY 19 NINETIES IN 2007. UM IT WAS UPDATED FOR THE, UH, CONSUMPTIVE USE PERMIT, AND IT WAS PROJECTED TO BE 28,000 BY BY THE YEAR 2028. AND THAT WAS AFTER THE 1990 ANNEXATIONS WHERE IT INCREASED BY 40% LAST FEBRUARY, WE UPDATED THE CONSUMPTIVE USE PERMIT HAD THE STUDY DONE FOR THE CITY OF STUART AND IF ALL OF THE PROPERTY THAT WAS LEFT VACANT IN THE CITY OF STEWART WAS BUILT TO ITS MAXIMUM DENSITY, WE WOULD END UP AT 23,900 PEOPLE, WHICH WOULD BE BELOW THE 25 TO 30,000 THAT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ORIGINALLY PROJECTED FOR THE GROWTH AT THE END OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AT TOTAL, BUILD OUT, SO WHEN YOU SEE LIKE WE DID. MAYBE SEVEN YEARS AGO NOW SOME APARTMENTS OR MULTIFAMILY, GET APPROVED, AND PEOPLE THINK OR GET ALARMED THAT THERE'S AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF GROWTH. IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AND WE'RE ALREADY AT 97% BUILD OUT AND WE'VE HAD LESS THAN 2000. 
          RESIDENTIAL UNITS APPROVED SINCE 2012 AND I'LL HAVE THE EXACT NUMBERS FOR YOU AT THE NEXT MEETING. SO FOR THE LAST 12 YEARS, IT'S BEEN ABOUT A TOTAL OF 2000 UNITS TOTAL WHICH GIVES US ABOUT A 1% GROWTH RATE. THANK YOU, SIR. UH, MAYOR? YES, COMMISSIONER CLARK. THANK YOU, MISS COUGAR FOR YOUR REPORT. I WANTED TO ASK YOU ON THAT LIST OF PRE APPLICATIONS. YOU DID YOU GIVE A TIMELINE FOR WHEN IS THAT IN THE PAST SIX MONTHS OR IN THE PAST YEAR? THIS IS ACTUALLY THE FIRST QUARTER FROM JANUARY TO MARCH OF THIS YEAR. OK, SO IF SOMEBODY HAD COME IN LAST YEAR, BECAUSE I WAS GONNA ASK YOU IF THE TAYLOR PROPERTY PRE APPLICATION CONFERENCE, SO IT'S JUST THIS QUARTER SINCE JANUARY, SO THEY HAVE COME IN PREVIOUSLY IT WOULDN'T BE IN THIS, OK. WE ARE ALSO GOING TO POST HIS PRESENTATION ON OUR WEBSITE AND UPDATE THIS AND TRY TO DEVELOP A DEVELOPMENT WEB PAGE SO PEOPLE CAN SEE ALL THE APPLICATIONS COMING IN, UH, WHAT'S UNDER REVIEW? WHAT'S UNDER CONSTRUCTION? UH, WHAT'S COMING UP? UM SO THIS WILL WE WILL HOPEFULLY GET THIS INTO A FORMAT SO YOU CAN LOOK AT THE APPLICATIONS. LOOK AT THE PLANS THAT ARE SUBMITTED TO US. SO UM, IT WILL HELP ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE CONCERNS BY THE PUBLIC. AND IF YOU WANT TO GO ON THE WEBSITE, THEN THEY WILL GIVE YOU THAT INFORMATION. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THAT. I'M SURE THE PUBLIC APPRECIATES THAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU. THANK YOUR STAFF. THEY WORK. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. DO I HAVE, UH, ANY COMMENTS FROM ANY OF OUR 
          [COMMENTS BY CITY COMMISSIONERS]
COMMISSIONERS? 22 THINGS. UH ONE IS, UH UH, 10 YEARS AGO, UM, THE CITY OF STUART ENTERED INTO A SISTER CITY ARRANGEMENT WITH HOPETOWN, BAHAMAS, AND IT WAS FOR THOSE OF US. I THINK YOU'LL ALWAYS HEAR AND, UM IT WAS IT WAS A REALLY EXCITING AND IT WAS A IT WAS A COINCIDED WITH OUR CENTENNIAL EVENTS. AND DURING THAT, UM, DURING THAT TIME, UH LEARNED A FEW THINGS ABOUT THE BAHAMAS, FOR EXAMPLE, UH, THE APP PORTION OF THE APP CODES IS THE ONLY PORTION OF THE BAHAMAS THAT HAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT SO THE FACT THAT WE WERE ACTUALLY ABLE TO DO SOMETHING WITH THE LOCAL 
          [00:15:02]
GOVERNMENT WAS RATHER EXCITING OVER THERE BECAUSE THEY HAVE SO LITTLE LOCAL GOVERNMENT. BUT FROM A PERSONAL NOTE, I ENDED UP BECOMING VERY GOOD FRIENDS WITH, UH, SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT OVER THERE. UM AND ONE OF THEM NAMED DON CASH, WHO REPRESENTED THE TOWN OF HOPETOWN PASSED AWAY RECENTLY AND I WAS WONDERING IF WE COULD SEND A LETTER FROM THE MAYOR OFFERING CONDOLENCE TO HIS WIDOW. YES, I AGREE. SO THEY THEY, THEY WERE TRULY TRULY HE WAS A BIGGER THAN LIFE INDIVIDUAL. AND, UH AND I'M TRULY GONNA MISS HIM. UM SO ANYWAYS, THE SECOND THING I WANT TO SAY, IS HOW EXCITING IT WAS TO SEE THAT, UH USA TODAY NAMED THE CITY OF STUART AS, UH, BEST COASTAL TOWN IN THE COUNTRY. UM YOU KNOW, WE BEAT OUT A LOT OF COMMUNITIES AROUND THE COUNTRY, AND I JUST THINK IT JUST GOES TO SHOW WHAT A WONDERFUL PLACE THAT WE LIVE. HOW WE HAVE OUR BEST DAYS AHEAD OF US AND I WAS VERY, VERY HAPPY AND EXCITED TO SEE THAT. SO THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL I HAVE. START ON THE SUNDAY THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER. SO FOR THE AGENDA TODAY. AND I KIND OF I DISCUSSED THIS A LITTLE BIT WITH. UM THE MAYOR, NOT THE MAYOR. THE, UH, MANAGER. AND ALL I WANT TO DO. I JUST WANT TO PULL THESE SO THAT AT LEAST, UM THE MANAGER OR THE CITY OF ATTORNEY CAN READ THE THINGS SO THAT THOSE WERE IN THE PUBLIC CAN HEAR AND KNOW WHAT'S ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. I DON'T HAVE ANY PARTICULAR UM UH, REAL BIG THING ABOUT THEM, BUT I THINK THAT A COUPLE OF THEM WILL PROBABLY GET SOME DISCUSSION. SO I'M GONNA GO NOW AND ASK THE POPE ITEMS NUMBER 45678 NINE FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA. FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES. AND, UM I WANT TO ANNOUNCE THAT I AM PLANNING TO HAVE A TOWN HALL AT THE 10TH STREET RECREATION CENTER, HONOR ABOUT THE 30TH OF, UM. MAY THURSDAY EVENING AROUND 5:30 P.M. UM KIND OF ROLL OUT SOME THINGS ABOUT THE EAST STEWART, UM ADVISORY COMMITTEE, AS WELL AS SOME OF THE INFORMATION THAT'S GOING IN ON THE WEBSITE AND JUST TALK ABOUT POSSIBLY TALK ABOUT, UM, RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES IN OUR COMMUNITY. SO UH, WE'RE GONNA BE PLANNING THAT AND IT'LL BE PROPERLY ADVERTISED BECAUSE IT WILL INVOLVE INVITING SOME MEMBERS OF A, UM, SUNSHINE COMMITTEE TO COME OUT AND MEET THE PUBLIC. THE PUBLIC. ASK THEM SOME THINGS AND THEY HAVE THEIR REGULAR MEETING COMING UP. I THINK IN JUNE THEIR QUARTER OF THE MEETING, BUT I NEEDED THEM THERE WITH ME AT AT. I'M TRYING TO GET THIS TOWN HALL TOGETHER, SO IT'S GONNA BE HOPEFULLY IN MAY 30TH AT 5:30 P.M. AND AS SOON AS WE GET THAT DONE AND READY TO ANNOUNCE, UM CITY MANAGER WILL TAKE CARE OF IT WILL CONFIRM EVERYTHING. THIRD THING IS THAT I'VE BEEN INVITED AND HAVE ACCEPTED TO SERVE ON THE INDIAN RIVER LAGOON TASK FORCE. UM AND THEY'RE HAVING A MEETING IN SEBASTIAN. ON MAY 29TH UM 2024. SO IT'S RIGHT BEFORE MY MAY 30TH MEETING. IT'S ANOTHER BUSY DAY. UM, BUT THEY'RE GONNA BE HAVE THAT IN PERSON HAVING THAT IN PERSON, UH , ON THE INDIAN RIVER LAGOON TASK FORCE, WHICH COVERS A LOT OF AREA FROM, UH, THROUGHOUT THE EVERGLADES AND AROUND THE OKEECHOBEE REGION AND ALONG THE INDIAN RIVER, AND SO, UM, IT'S GONNA BE SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO ARE INVOLVED WITH THAT, UM, PARTICULAR TASK FORCE, WHICH HAS THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHER INDIAN RIVER LAGOON. UM COMMITTEES AND ACTIVITIES, BUT THIS PARTICULAR ONE THEY'RE WORKING ON. I THINK SOMEBODY FROM FA U CALLED ME AND THEY THEY ASKED ME TO PARTICIPATE, AND I SAID YES. AND I WANTED TO SAY THAT I THINK OUR CITY CLERK HAD RECEIVED, UH UH, SOME KIND OF COMMENDATION RECENTLY. BUT WHATEVER IT IS, I JUST WANNA SAY AGAIN. HOW UM MUCH I APPRECIATE OUR CITY CLERK, AND I APPRECIATE OUR STAFF THAT WORKS IN OUR CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE. AND FOR ALL THE WORK THAT THE CHURCH, OF COURSE LEGAL CITIES AND ALL OUR CLERKS AND OTHERS WHO PUT THESE THINGS TOGETHER FOR THE, UM, SEVEN ETHICS SEMINAR THAT WE HAD AT IRS C ON LAST THURSDAY, AND, UM UH, THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT HAD TO DO WITH PUBLIC 
          [00:20:07]
RECORDS AND ALL THE OTHER THINGS THAT WE FACE AT THE CITY OF STEWART, AND IT'S A REALLY BIG CHALLENGE FOR OUR CITY CLERK TO KEEP UP WITH A LOT OF THE STATUTORY REGULATIONS AND FOR US , ALSO AS ELECTED OFFICIALS, BUT I JUST WANTED TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR THE WORK THAT THEY'VE DONE PUT INTO THAT. AND I KNOW THAT WE HAVE ONE OF OUR COMMISSIONERS WHO WORKS ON THE TREASURE COAST LEAGUE OF CITIES. I THINK THAT'S COMMISSIONER RIDGE AND I JUST I WANT TO THANK THEM FOR THEIR WORK THAT THEY DO TO GET THAT TOGETHER FOR US SO THAT WE CAN STAY, UM, COMPLIANT AS A BOARD OF, UH, CITY COUNCIL BOARD. UH, THAT'S IT. I HAVE NO. THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. I'D JUST LIKE TO FOLLOW UP ON COMMISSIONER CLARK'S COMMENTS REGARDING THE ETHICS. WHICH IS A ETHICS CLASS, WHICH IS AN ANNUAL REQUIREMENT THAT COMMISSIONER CLARK WAS THERE. AND I WAS THERE WITH MR KENNY. WHAT STRUCK ME. WAS IN THIS PERHAPS SERVE AS AN ADMONITION TO THE PUBLIC. UM I WOULD THINK THAT MANY OF YOU THAT TAKE THE TIME OUT OF YOUR DAY TO COME HERE AND LISTEN AND PARTICIPATE, WHICH IS TERRIFIC MIGHT ALSO BE THE PEOPLE WHO GO ONLINE. THE REQUIREMENT IS LET ME SUMMARIZE IT. SOCIAL MEDIA IS A TRAP. THEY REALLY DON'T LIKE ELECTED OFFICIALS TO BE INVOLVED IN SOCIAL MEDIA, BECAUSE IF THEY ARE DISCUSSING MATTERS THAT COME BEFORE THE CITY, ALL OF THAT IS SUBJECT TO THE SUNSHINE LAW. THEY ARE REQUIRED TO RETAIN IT, BUT NOT ONLY THEIR COMMENTS, BUT ALL OF YOUR COMMENTS HAVE TO BE RETAINED AND BECOME PUBLIC RECORD AND IF REQUESTED PERHAPS IF YOU'RE NOT THIS NICE AS YOU MIGHT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE MAKING INAPPROPRIATE REMARKS, THOSE ARE GOING TO BE KEPT AND WILL BE SUBJECT TO PUBLIC RECORD REQUESTS. SO WHAT, I WOULD JUST I CERTAINLY WOULD URGE MY FELLOW COMMISSIONERS TO BE EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS. YOU CAN'T ALTER YOU CAN'T DELETE ANYTHING THAT'S ON SOCIAL MEDIA. AND ALL OF YOUR COMMENTS WILL BE HELD AS AS PUBLIC RECORD, SO LET'S ALL TRY TO BE AS COURTEOUS AND SENSIBLE AS WE CAN. WHEN ENGAGING WITH PUBLIC MEDIA. THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. WE'LL WE'LL HEAR FROM OUR MANAGER. YOU HAVE NOTHING 
          [COMMENTS BY CITY MANAGER]
FURTHER. I DON'T HAVE ANY SPECIFIC ITEMS TO UPDATE YOU ON. UM, OBVIOUSLY, WE HAD A DIFFERENT MEETING PLANNED FOR TONIGHT AND I THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE LONGER, BUT COMMISSIONER CLARK IS ASSURED US THAT WE WILL MAKE IT WORTH OUR TIME WITH PARTNERSHIP. UM AND I DID WANT TO SAY LAST MEETING WE HAD WE WERE CELEBRATING COMMISSIONER CLARK'S BIRTHDAY, AND I WANT TO MENTION THAT THE COMMISSIONER RICH'S BIRTHDAY WAS OVER THE WEEKEND. HE JUST CELEBRATED HIS BIRTHDAY AS WELL. IT'S NOTHING LIKE EMBARRASSING SOMEONE ABOUT THEIR BIRTHDAY, SO I COULDN'T RESIST. BUT THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT. I GET APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA MOVE APPROVAL AS 
          [APPROVAL OF AGENDA]
PUBLISHED AND PULLING THE ITEMS. WHICH WERE THEY AGAIN, COMMISSIONER CLERK. WE HAVEN'T GOT TO THE CONSENT 4356789. SHE'S JUST TALKING ABOUT THE AGENDA SO I HAVE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA. YOU HAVE A SECOND OK, MOTION. WE HAVE A SECOND AND IT COMES FROM OUR COMMISSIONERS. I SEE NONE. ANY COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC I SEE NONE. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

          [COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC (Non-Agenda Related) (3 Minutes Max.)]
FROM THE PUBLIC. TRAVIS DECKERS. DO. HI. GOOD EVENING. TERRIBLE PUBLIC, SO I SENT MY SCRIPT AND I SO GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY. MY NAME IS TRAVIS DECKERS, AND I'M A MEMBER OF CITY SUPER FIRE S TO USE LOCAL 2411. AND ALSO PART OF THE UH, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW THAT ONE IS A BO ONE SEEN FOR ORGANIZATION. MR. UH, WE HELP THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY OF ST AND TOM AND ALSO OTHER CHAIR OF ORGANIZATIONS AND DIFFERENT PROJECTS ACROSS THE TRI COUNTY AREA. SOME OF THE 
          [00:25:04]
THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE HERE. UH, WE RECENTLY ACCOMPLISHED, UH, RETAINING CHEROKEE. UH, WE HAVE SOME EVENTS RAISE MONEY FOR OTHER AND YOU UM I HERE TO SPREAD THE WORD FOR OUR NEW EVENT, WHICH OUR INAUGURAL. FRAZIER CREEK ROAD. SO ONE OF THE COMMON QUESTIONS WE GET IS WHAT IS THE P FOR? I FORGET ABOUT YOUR MUSCLES. TEAM OF 10 PEOPLE BY TAKING LONG GROWTH. 
          NATIONAL FIRE. DRAG A LITTLE BIT OVER. 100 FT FROM THE FASTEST TIME, SO THE MAIN REASON WE'RE DOING THIS SAYING THAT RAISING AWARENESS AND FUNDS FOR FIRST RESPONDER MENTAL HEALTH THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US WHEN WE SEE IT BECOMING MORE AND MORE A COMMON ISSUE AMONGST THOSE IN PUBLIC SAFETY. OUR FIRE. RESCUE AND POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS HAD SEVERAL HIGH CUBIC CALLS, BUT IN SOME FASHION LEFT A PERMANENT MARK IN MEMORY OF SOME OFFICER. WE DO OUR BEST FOR MEN AND WOMEN. BUT THE SCIENCE AND STIGMA BEHIND MENTAL HEALTH IS JUST NOT WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE AT FOR BACKGROUND ON THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE SOME STATISTICS FROM MAJOR STUDIES. 
          28% OF FIRST RESPONDERS HAVE REPORTED HAVING A LIFE TIME FEELING THAT LIFE IS NOT EVEN WORTH LIVING. 7.4% OF FIRST RESPONDERS HAS EXTREME CIRCUMSTANCES SUICIDAL IDEATION. 
          37% OF FIRST RESPONDERS ARE 10 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO CONTEMPLATE SUICIDE THAN THE AVERAGE AMERICAN ADULT. THIS IS ALSO SAYING THAT 30% OF FIRST RESPONDERS WILL ABSOLUTELY DEVELOP SOME TYPE OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CONDITION IN YOUR LIFESTYLE. FOR THOSE WONDERING WHEN THEY LOOK AT FIREFIGHTERS WHO EXPERIENCE CARDIAC ARREST IN THE JOB. AND THEY ARE YOUNG OR LOOK LIKE I MEAN A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. DUE TO THE STRESS EFFECTS OF THE JOB ALONE. THAT'S CONSITED FOR 50% OF ALL FIREFIGHTER LINE OF DUTY DEATHS. WAS TERRIFYING AS WELL. SO SHOW THAT OVER 70% FIRST RESPONDERS FEEL AS THOUGH THAT SEEKING MENTAL HEALTH WILL RESULT IN THEM GETTING IN TROUBLE WITH THEIR EMPLOYER, OR THEY FEEL EMBARRASSED. ON RECENTLY I LEFT FOR A PROGRAMS. HAVE BEEN COMING OUT FOR MENTAL HEALTH HERE AT STEWART FIRE RESCUE. WE HAVE BOUGHT OUR CHASE FOR TAKING AN ACTIVE ROLE IN OUR MENTAL HEALTH BY MEMBERS BECOME HERE. COUNCIL CERTIFIED UNDERSTAND THE MENTAL HEALTH OF THE PERSONNEL. HOWEVER THESE DREADFUL STATISTICS ACROSS THE NATION THAT WAS SURELY NOT CHANGED AS LAST YEAR OR MORE FIRST RESPONDERS SUICIDES IN THE YEAR PRIOR WE HAVE TO CONTINUE TO WORK TO DO BETTER TOGETHER. SHOULD NOT EXIST, AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE HOSTING THIS EVENT. YOU ARE BETTER STATISTICS AND THE STATE ON A BRIGHTER NOTE. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE NAME OF THAT, LIKE I SAID. 10, PEOPLE WILL FIND A 30 TO FIRE RESCUE TRUCK. 
          100 FT FOR THE FASTEST TIME. DON'T WORRY. WE HAVE PLENTY OF HIGH SCHOOL FRASIER CREEK BREWING STEALING BEVERAGES TO HELP YOU COOL OFF AND CELEBRATE AFTER YES. SO YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY COWORKERS PERFORM AND PARTICIPANTS. YOU RATHER CHEER FROM THE SIDELINES COME OUT, SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR OUR FIRST RESPONDERS. 11 A.M. TO 1 P.M. SIR. THANK YOU, TRAVIS.

WE'RE NOT A LOCKED FACILITY, BUT WHEN THEY COME IN OUR DOOR FOR HELP, THEY ARE USUALLY HIGHLY INTOXICATED OR ON HIGH AMOUNT OF DRUGS. THERE HAS BEEN TIMES THAT MYSELF AND OTHER MEMBERS OF MANAGEMENT HAVE WALKED. SORRY ABOUT THAT. MY HAVE WALKED AFTER INTOXICATED INDIVIDUALS. THAT ARE OUR FACILITY TO ADMIT. AS THE URGE OF DRINKING OR DRUG USE, OVERPOWERS THEM, AND THEY WALK OUT OF THE OUT ONTO INDIAN STREET TRYING TO GET THE LAST HIGH. ALL STAFF MEMBERS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO ASSIST WALK WITH THEM, TRYING TO GET THEM TO COME BACK FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY AND PREVENT FROM WANDERING THE LOCAL COMMUNITY BECAUSE IT WILL CAUSE A DISTURBANCE. WE ALSO HAVE PATIENTS THAT TRY TO GET THEIR LAST HIGH BEFORE COMING IN AND HALF THE TIME THEY'RE OVERDOSING AT OUR FRONT DOOR AND HAVE TO BE NARCAN AND ALSO CALLED THE EMS. I PERSONALLY HAD TO CHASE AN INTOXICATED FEMALE DOWN INDIAN STREET THAT WAS FALLING INTO TRAFFIC AND CAUSING ENDANGERMENT NOT ONLY TO HERSELF BUT ALSO TO OTHER TRAFFIC DRIVERS. SEVERAL DRIVERS STOPPED TRAFFIC AS WELL AS CALL 911 BECAUSE THE TRUCK DID ALMOST HIT HER. IT TOOK MYSELF AND TWO OTHER STAFF MEMBERS TO BASICALLY CARRY HER ARM IN ARM TO GET HER BACK TO COASTAL SAFELY WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. OUR 35 BED FACILITY HAS A 15% A MA RATE AND THAT IS WITH US TAKING ALL PRECAUTIONS WE CAN TO HELP THEM GET THE TREATMENT. THEY NEED TO GET HEALTHY. BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE. THE A MA S WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WITH 100 AND 40 BED FACILITY AND LIMITED STAFF. IT IS JUST TOO LARGE FOR A FACILITY FOR OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. JIM HAVILAND. HELLO. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. UM I ALSO WORK AT COASTAL DETOX. I'M A DRIVER FOR THE FACILITY. BUT I WANT TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT OF EXPERIENCE I'VE HAD WORKING IN OTHER TREATMENT FACILITIES.

I PICK UP THESE CLIENTS THAT THAT ARE INTOXICATED, DOING DRUGS USING DRUGS, AND I HAVE TO MANAGE MY WAY BACK TO STUART.

SO IT'S UM LIKE HAVING THESE LARGE FACILITIES OR MULTIPLE FACILITIES IN THE SAME AREA, JUST ACTUALLY. UM CREATES CHAOS. IT'LL IT'LL BRING A DIFFERENT ELEMENT INTO THE COMMUNITY. UM

THE WAY THEY DO THE WAY THEY ACTUALLY DO CARE ABOUT THESE CLIENTS AND HOW THEY REALLY DO. UNDERSTAND, UH THE DRUG AND ALCOHOL INDUSTRY, THE ADDICTION INDUSTRY. AND HOW THEY, UM GO ABOVE AND BEYOND. WHERE MY EXPERIENCE IN OTHER PLACES. IT WAS MORE A BUSINESS. IT WAS MORE AN INSURANCE POLICY. YOU WERE MORE IN NUMBER THAN YOU ARE A CLIENT THAT WAS SEEKING HELP. UM AND THAT'S ALL I GOT. I'M SORRY. THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. CHRISTOPHER BOIANO THROUGH THE ASPARAGUS. U SEVEN ARE INTIMIDATING. I'M GONNA STICK TO THE SCRIPT. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS CHRIS GERAGOS.

BEYOND JUST THE STATISTICS BORN AND RAISED IN PALM BEACH COUNTY. I GOT ADDICTED TO DRUGS WHEN I WAS 18 YEARS OLD AND STAYED IN ACTIVE ADDICTION UNTIL I WAS 33 YEARS OLD, GROWING UP WITH AN ABSENT FATHER. MY MOM WAS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT ME, AT LEAST FOR A WHILE, SO MUCH SO THAT SHE ADDED ME TO HER INSURANCE POLICY AND BEGGED ME TO SEEK TREATMENT FOR MY ADDICTION AND ABANDONMENT ISSUES. OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS, I WAS IN AND OUT OF TREATMENT CENTERS IN SOBER LIVING HOMES, BUT WAS UNABLE TO COMMIT TO THE TREATMENT PROCESS BECAUSE OF MY SEVERE WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS. GREATER THAN MY DESIRE TO BE CLEAN AND SOBER. PLUS I KNEW THAT THERE WOULD ALWAYS BE ANOTHER TREATMENT FACILITY THAT WOULD EAGERLY ADMIT ME. THANKS TO THE GREAT OUT OF NETWORK INSURANCE POLICY THAT MY MOM HAD ME ON. I COULD GO ANYWHERE. THROUGH IT ALL. I DID ABSOLUTELY WHATEVER I NEEDED TO FUEL MY ADDICTION, MOST OF THE TIMES, CRIMINAL ACTIVITY AND THEFT I USED TO STEAL FROM BIG BOX STORES LIKE HOME DEPOT AND WALMART WOULD ALSO BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR MY NEXT FIX BY STEALING FROM HOMES, CARS AND BOATS. I EVEN STOLE FROM MY FAMILY AT TIMES ANYTHING I COULD GET MY HANDS ON TO SELL FOR DRUGS. AFTER MANY YEARS ON THIS DRUG FUELED CAROUSEL IN AND OUT OF JAILS IN PROBATION PERIODS, MY MOM ULTIMATELY HAD ENOUGH AND CUT ME OFF COMPLETELY WITH NO INSURANCE OR FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF ANY KIND. I STILL DID WHAT I ALWAYS DID. BEGGED AND STOLED, BEGGED AND BEGGED AND STOLE TO FEED MY DRUG ADDICTION. WHEN THE LAW STARTED CLOSING IN ON ME IN PALM BEACH COUNTY, I MOVED UP NORTH TO STEWART, BUT NOT LONG AFTER ARRIVING IN STUART, I WAS CAUGHT STEALING AGAIN FROM THE LOCAL PAWN SHOP AND WAS TAKEN TO THE MARTIN COUNTY JAIL FOR ANOTHER GRAND THEFT CHARGE, ONE OF MANY AS A THREE TIME CONVICTED FELON. I SPENT 10 MONTHS IN THE MARTIN COUNTY JAIL WHERE I DETOXED IN A CELL. I'LL NEVER FORGET IT. I WAS 33 YEARS OLD AND REALLY WANTED TO GET MY LIFE BACK, SO I VOLUNTARILY JOINED THE DUNKLIN JAIL PROGRAM. AND AFTER COMPLETING WAS SENT TO PRISON IN THE PANHANDLE FOR FIVE MONTHS, WHICH ALSO I WILL NEVER FORGET. AFTER BEING RELEASED FROM PRISON. I MOVED INTO A SOBER LIVING HOME AND SET MY SIGHTS ON GETTING MY LIFE ON TRACK. I AM EXTREMELY GRATEFUL AND BLESSED TO USE MY STORY AND LIFE EXPERIENCES AS A MEANS TO HELP OTHERS BREAK FREE FROM THE SAME CHAINS OF ADDICTION. COASTAL DETOX IS AN IN-NETWORK FACILITY THAT SPECIALIZES IN SUBSTANCE USE AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH DISORDERS. AND I'M VERY GRATEFUL TO BE PART OF A TEAM THAT HELPS PEOPLE RECOVER. IT'S VERY REWARDING ACCOUNTABILITY, CONTINUITY AND AFTERCARE IS WHAT'S NEEDED FOR A STRUGGLING ADDICT AND ALCOHOLIC TO FULLY RECOVER AND STEWART AS A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART. IT'S WHERE I FINALLY GOT SOBER AND STARTED A LIFE THAT I STILL HAVE TODAY. 
          I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT STEWART TURNING INTO A DELRAY BEACH TYPE SITUATION WITH RAMPANT CRIME AND ACTIVE ADDICTION ROAMING THE STREETS BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE I LIVE, AND I CHOOSE TO RAISE MY THREE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO HEAR MY STORY. GOD BLESS YOU. NOT EASY TO COME UP HERE AND SPILL OUT YOUR GUTS IN FRONT OF EVERYONE. YOUR WHOLE LIFE. 
          WALTER LOY. GOOD TO SEE YOU, MR LORD. THANK YOU. GOOD TO SEE YOU ALL TOO. SO I CAME TONIGHT MOSTLY TO LISTEN AND LEARN A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT IT. AND I APPRECIATE YOU. THANK YOU. AND EVERYONE ELSE THAT'S CONTRIBUTED BUT I ALSO, UH, DON'T LIVE FAR FROM THAT AREA, AND IT'S NOT, 
          [00:45:04]
UH, IN MY NOT IN MY BACKYARD KIND OF THING. FOR ME. IT'S MORE ABOUT THE REASON I MOVED HERE TO STEWART, WHICH WAS TO ENJOY A SMALL COASTAL TOWN WITH A SMALL TOWN ENVIRONMENT. AND I'VE HAD TO WATCH WALL OF A COUPLE OF Y'ALL UP THERE, UH, HAD MADE SOME. I THINK RADICAL ABUSES TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND TO LAND USE CODES TO PUT A COSTCO IN THERE AND QUITE A FEW APARTMENTS THAT ARE PRETTY MUCH RIGHT ON THE ROADWAY AND NO COVER. NO YOU KNOW, NO AMBIENCE THAT FITS OUR CITY. AS A AS IT COMES TO THIS. IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO ANOTHER RADICAL CHANGE IN THE LAND USE CODES. AND I'M ASKING YOU PLEASE DON'T MEAN OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS IN PLACE FOR A REASON. THERE IS A LEGACY AND A LOT OF US MOVED HERE AND INVESTED IN THIS COMMUNITY FOR THAT REASON. SO PLEASE RESPECT IT AND STOP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING WITH THE LAND USE CODES AND THE ABUSE OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THANK YOU. 
          YOUR BROTHER. TO HI. I'M JILL BROTHERTON. I HAVE HAD A BUSINESS IN THE CITY OF STUART AND HAS LIVED IN MARTIN COUNTY FOR 40 YEARS. UM IN 2013. I WAS GOING TO MOVE. I ACTUALLY LIVE IN PALM CITY NOW, AND I WAS GOING TO MOVE TO DOWNTOWN STEWART. SO AFTER WORK, I WOULD TAKE MY DOG AND WALK AROUND. UM, SEE WHERE I WANTED TO BE, AND I WALKED NUMEROUS TIMES PAST THE REHAB CENTER. THAT WAS THAT'S IN. WHAT WAS DOCTOR COOPER'S OFFICE. UM HARASSED. OFTEN I WAS ASKED FOR MONEY. WAS ASKED TO USE MY PHONE, THEY WOULD LOITER OUTSIDE AND SMOKE AND VAPE. UM IT MADE MY DECISION NOT TO MOVE TO THE CITY OF STUART. I ACTUALLY FEARED FOR MY LIFE. AND SO MY CONCERN IS TO HAVE A FACILITY THREE TIMES AS BIG IN AN AREA THAT I FREQUENT OFTEN BECAUSE I DINE IN THAT PLAZA. MY DERMATOLOGIST IS IN THAT PLAZA. UM IT CONCERNS ME VERY MUCH. 
          THANK YOU. THANK YOU. VALERIE FERRERA. OK? VALERIE FERREIRA. UM I'VE BEEN IN THIS COMMUNITY FOR 24 YEARS WORKING AS A NURSE. PAST 910 YEARS, I'VE BEEN WORKING IN DETOX AND REHAB AND PSYCHIATRY, UM, ALSO FAMILY MEDICINE AS WELL. UM I AM THE OWNER OF A LOCAL BUSINESS. NEW DAY PSYCHIATRY. AND UM I VERY MUCH SUPPORT TREATING ADDICTION. UM BUT I FEEL LIKE IT'S SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE DONE IN A SMALL ENVIRONMENT. UM, JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE HAS SAID WHEN THESE PEOPLE LEAVE AGAINST MEDICAL ADVICE, THAT MEANS THEY DON'T HAVE AN ID. THEY DON'T HAVE MONEY. THEY DON'T HAVE A CAR. THEY HAVE THEIR FEET AND THEY MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE SHOES ON THEM, AND THEY'RE WALKING UP THE STREETS AND THEY'RE GONNA GO WHEREVER THEY CAN GO TO GET THEIR FIX. THEY'RE GONNA GO TRY AND STEAL AND ROB. THEY'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE ANYWHERE TO STAY. 
          THEY DON'T HAVE THEIR THINGS. AND SO I AM VERY MUCH FOR TREATING THESE PEOPLE IN SMALL ENVIRONMENTS, BUT DEFINITELY NOT IN THE BIG ENVIRONMENT THAT THIS PLACE IS. WANTING TO OFFER. 
          THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. JOSEPH O'GRADY. OK, MR GRADY. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS JOSEPH O'GRADY TOGETHER WITH MY WIFE, CHRISTINA TUCKER AND OUR TWO ADULT CHILDREN, ROSS AND JUDY, WHO ARE ALSO HERE. OUR FAMILY OWNS AND OPERATES COASTAL DETOX, A 35 BED INPATIENT. MEDICAL DETOX AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT FACILITY THAT WE BUILT FROM SCRATCH HERE IN THE GREAT CITY OF STUART, FLORIDA. AS EXPERTS IN SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT. OUR ENTIRE FAMILY IS HERE TODAY TO PUBLICLY IMPLORE THE STUART CITY COMMISSION TO REJECT THIS THIS PETITION NEEDED FOR THIS PROPOSED 140 BED TREATMENT FACILITY TO OPEN ITS DOORS IN STUART, FLORIDA. WHY BECAUSE I MEAN, DESPITE WHAT HAS BEEN SAID IN THE MEDIA, IT'S CERTAINLY NOT BECAUSE THIS PROPOSED FACILITY IS GOING TO BE A COMPETITOR OF COASTAL AS THE APPLICANT HIMSELF AGREED AT THE LP A MEETING IN MARCH. UH, COASTAL IS NOT A COMPETITOR OF THE PROPOSED FACILITIES IN THAT ARE COASTAL FACILITY IS IN ALL IN NETWORK, MEDICARE AND MEDICAID APPROVED FACILITY THAT FOR THE PAST EIGHT YEARS HAS BEEN FOCUSED ON TREATING THE MEDICAL DETOX AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT. UH, NEEDS OF THIS LOCAL COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE THAT ARE IN AND AROUND STEWART, 
          [00:50:05]
FLORIDA. THE PROPOSED FACILITY, ON THE OTHER HAND, WILL BE IN A VERY EXCLUSIVE ALL OUT OF NETWORK AND CASH PAY ONLY FACILITY THAT BY THE APPLICANT'S OWN ADMISSION AT THE LP, A MEETING INTENDS TO SERVE THE MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT NEEDS OF THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BY SPENDING UNTOLD MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN INTERNET ADVERTISING AS THE MEANS TO ACQUIRE PATIENT. FROM ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES WITHOUT A NETWORK POLICIES AND WITH CASH IN NEED OF MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT SERVICES AND THEN FLYING THEM INTO OUR TOWN FOR TREATMENT, EFFECTIVELY TURNING THE CITY OF STEWART INTO SOMETHING SIMILAR TO DEL RAY BEACH. IT'S A PROPOSED FACILITY IS NOT THEN A THREAT TO OUR COASTAL BUSINESS. WHY WOULD OUR ENTIRE FAMILY COME OUT SO STRONGLY AGAINST THIS PROPOSED FACILITY? WELL FIRST AND FOREMOST, BECAUSE WE LOVE THE CITY OF STEWART, WE LOVE LIVING AND WORKING IN WHAT IS WIDELY CONSIDERED TO BE THE BEST COASTAL COMMUNITY IN THE UNITED STATES, THANKS IN LARGE PART TO THIS VERY CITY COMMISSION. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, THOUGH, IS TRUE EXPERTS IN THE IN THIS FIELD OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MEDICAL DETOX. WE KNOW THAT THE LOGISTICS AND THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES OF THIS PROPOSED FACILITY ARE TRAGICALLY FLAWED, AS IS ITS LOCATION HERE IN STEWART AND MY WIFE WHO'S THE CEO IN THE BRAINS OF OUR COMPANY. SHE'S GONNA COME UP AND TALK IN MORE DETAIL ABOUT THAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SO CHRISTINA CHER, M TUCKER. WELCOME TONIGHT. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS CHRISTINA TUCKER. I'M THE CEO OF COASTAL DETOX. OBVIOUSLY I'M NOT A POLITICIAN, BUT IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING. I WOULD IMAGINE THAT IN ORDER TO APPROVE A CHANGE LIKE THIS, IT SHOULD BE A BENEFIT TO THE PUBLIC. WELL I'M HERE TO SHARE AT LEAST THREE VERY IMPORTANT REASONS. WHY I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IT IS THAT IT WOULD ACTUALLY BE A DETRIMENT TO THE PUBLIC. AS EVIDENCED BY THIS PLAN THIS COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF TREATMENT CENTERS. PUBLISHED BY SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH ADMINISTRATION WEBSITE. THE PROPOSED FACILITY WOULD BE OF THE LARGEST IN ITS IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA. WHY AM I SO CONCERNED OF THIS? BECAUSE AS WE KNOW FIRSTHAND OF RUNNING 135 BEDS WHICH WERE ACTUALLY WERE ZONED FOR 80. BUT WE DECIDED TO KEEP IT AT 35 AFTER WE WERE IN BUSINESS FOR A WHILE AND NOT FILL OUR OTHER TWO BUILDINGS WITH ADDITIONAL BEDS. IT'S SO HARD TO OPERATE AND MANAGE. AS YOU'RE HEARING FROM SOME OF THE OUR COLLEAGUES IN THE INDUSTRY. 
          THE SECOND REASON THERE WILL BE A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN NEED FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES, AS EVIDENCED BY AGAIN WE HAD A DETAILED REPORT OF THE EMERGENCY CALLS FOR THE APPLICANTS FACILITY, WHICH IS SUBSTANTIALLY SMALLER IN PORT ST LUCIE. IN ONE YEAR. THERE WERE 100 CALLS. IN JUST LAST MONTH OF MARCH. THERE WERE 17 CALLS. CONSIDERING THIS FACILITY WOULD BE 4 TO 5 TIMES AS LARGE THIS WOULD BE MAGNIFIED BY 4 TO 5 TIMES. THE THIRD IS AND MOST GRAVE CONCERN BY FAR RESOLVES AROUND THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES OF THE PROPOSED FACILITY IN THE VAST NUMBER OF PATIENTS THAT WOULD FREELY CHOOSE TO WALK OFF THE PROPERTY AGAINST MEDICAL ADVICE. A MA AS AGAIN YOU'VE HEARD FROM SOME OF OUR OTHER COLLEAGUES. THE OVERWHELMING NEED TO USE DRUGS AND ALCOHOL CAUSED BY THEIR WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS. IT'S JUST TOO HARD FOR THEM TO BEAR. AND THEY ARE NOT IN A LOCKDOWN FACILITY. EVEN THOUGH WE DO 15 MINUTE CHECKS, YOU TAKE YOUR EYES OFF OF THEM FOR FIVE MINUTES. THEY'RE OUT THE DRIVEWAY. OFTENTIMES BEFORE YOU EVEN REALIZE IT. IT'S CRITICAL TO NOTE THAT THE ACT THE NATIONAL AVERAGE IN THE IN OUR INDUSTRY IS AROUND 23, MEANING THAT UPWARDS OF 40 PATIENTS PER MONTH WILL BE WALKING OFF PROPERTY NOW OUT OF NETWORK. YOU WOULD SAY TO YOURSELF, OK, MOST OF THESE PEOPLE ARE GONNA HAVE MEANS AND THEY HAVE GOOD INSURANCE POLICIES, BUT WHAT IT WHAT IT COMES DOWN TO IS THAT NOW THAT YOU'RE YOU'RE YOUNG ADULTS ARE ALLOWED TO STAY ON THEIR PARENTS' POLICIES UP TO 26 YEARS OLD. WHAT HAPPENS A LOT OF TIMES IS FINISH YOUR SENTENCE. OK THEY FAILED AT THE LOCAL LEVEL. THEIR PARENTS SAY WE'RE GOING TO GIVE IT ONE MORE SHOT. WE'RE GOING TO FLY YOU DOWN TO FLORIDA. BUT IF YOU FAIL THIS TIME, WE'RE NOT SUPPORTING YOUR FINANCIALLY ANYMORE AND LOSE OUR NUMBER. SO THANK YOU ALL FOR LISTENING TO OUR CONCERNS AND I. I TRUST IT'S ALL IN YOUR HANDS. 
          THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MA'AM. GAIL GOY. IT'S GOOD. GOOD EVENING. GOOD EVENING 
          [00:55:16]
COMMISSIONERS. IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN. UM I WANTED TO JUST TALK ABOUT THIS, UH, NEW FACILITY. THAT'S THERE. WE UM, USED TO BE THE ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY. YOUR LIFE. I WAS VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE INTERNAL LAYOUT AND EVERYTHING OF YOUR LIFE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS NEW FACILITY WOULD BE PUTTING IN 100 AND 35 BEDS. I THINK THAT'S WHAT THE NUMBER WAS 135. AND UM, I HAVE A GREAT CONCERN ABOUT PUTTING SOMETHING LIKE THAT ON INDIAN STREET WHEN, UM, WE HAVE ALL OF THE SCHOOLS, UH, WATER PARK, EVERYTHING THAT EVERYONE'S TALKING ABOUT, BUT YEARS AGO, I DID SPEND QUITE A BIT OF TIME DOWN IN DEL REY WHEN, UH, A LOT OF THE DRUG REHAB CENTERS WERE OPENING UP AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT WHEN I WAS DOWN THERE, I VISITED MANY OF THE DRUG AND ALCOHOL REHAB CENTERS. AND I WILL TELL YOU THAT ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS THAT THEY HAD, WHERE PEOPLE LEAVING THEIR FACILITIES TO GO OUT AND SEEK MORE DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. AND IT WAS A HUGE PROBLEM THAT HAS COME DOWN QUITE A BIT. IN DEL REY. MANY OF THOSE PLACES WERE PUT OUT OF BUSINESS. UM BECAUSE THEY DID NOT MEET THE, UH STANDARD FOR THE FOR THEIR LICENSING. 
          THEY BROKE A LOT OF THE RULES OR THEY DIDN'T MEET THE RULES. MANY OF THE OWNERS OF THOSE FACILITIES DOWN THERE, WE'RE PUT IN JAIL. BECAUSE OF THE ABUSE TO THE INSURANCE AND, UH, A LOT OF OTHER ISSUES, BUT ALSO THIS FACILITY. WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO GET THE STAFFING FOR 100 AND 35 BEDS? THE STAFFING IS ENORMOUS, THAT THEY WILL NEED AND WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO PULL THOSE PEOPLE FROM TO STAFF THIS FACILITY? SO UM, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, I WANT YOU TO SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY CONSIDER PUTTING ANOTHER FACILITY IN IN, UH, THAT SIZE. ON INDIAN STREET. IT'S SOMETHING WE REALLY DON'T NEED. WHAT ABOUT BAKER? A. WHAT ABOUT THE BAKER ACT? YOU KNOW HOW MANY, UH, BAKER RACKS ARE THEY GOING TO ACCEPT? ARE THEY ACCEPTING BAKER ACT? I DID NOT SEE, UH, INFORMATION ON THAT. BUT I'M SURE THAT'S PROBABLY SOMETHING TO BE CONSIDERED. SO THAT'S ALL I'D LIKE TO SAY. AND I APPRECIATE EACH ONE OF YOU COMMISSIONERS THAT HAVE THESE HARD DECISIONS IN FRONT OF YOU, BUT I HOPE THAT YOU WILL STICK TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND CERTAINLY KEEP STEWART THE BEAUTIFUL LITTLE CITY THAT WE LIVE IN. THANK YOU. YOU. THAT IS THE LAST OF THE GREEN CARDS. ANYONE ELSE? ONE MORE. WE HAVE TWO YES. THREE. COME AND SPEAK. GIVE ME YOUR NAME AND NUMBER YOUR ADDRESS AND THEN GET THE THIN FIELD THE GREEN CARD OUT. WHAT'S THAT? AND THEN FEEL THE GREEN CARD. OK, ALL RIGHT, WELL, BOB, SHANDON AND STEWART HAVE BEEN HERE ABOUT EIGHT YEARS. UH, FOR RESIDENT ABOUT 45 YEARS. UH, THANKS FOR ALL THE COMMENTS TONIGHT. ESPECIALLY WHAT'S YOUR NAME AGAIN? GREG? SOUNDS LIKE GOOD. UH I GOT THE REST OF THE STORY. I. I GOT THE REST OF THE STORY TONIGHT. I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO THIS DEBATE GOING ON. UH UH, ABOUT THIS, UH, DRUG REHAB FACILITY GOING INTO, UH, STUART. I'M AGAINST IT. TOTALLY. UH, THE ONLY REASON WHY I'M AGAINST IT. WHEN I FIRST MOVED HERE EIGHT YEARS AGO, I HAVEN'T HAD A CONVERSATION WITH A POLICE OFFICER. I HAD THE STANCE ONE AFTERNOON AND I ASKED HIM WHAT'S THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IN STEWART THAT WE HAVE FOR, UH, FOR CITIZENS AND FOR THE OVERALL CITY, HE GOES TO DRUG REHAB HOUSES THAT WAS EIGHT YEARS AGO. 
          BECAUSE THAT'S OUR BIGGEST PROBLEM. BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENS LIKE I FOUND OUT THE INSURANCE RUNS OUT AT 26. WHERE DO THEY GO? THEY STAY HERE. AND WHAT THEY DO WHEN THEY STAY HERE. 
          SURE EVERYBODY HERE THEY COMMIT CRIMES AND OTHER THINGS. SO ANYWAY, THAT'S WHY I'M AGAINST IT. UH, THANKS FOR THE STORIES FROM EVERYBODY. THANK YOU, SIR. DON'T FORGET TO FILL IT OUT. 
          HAVE YOU? MY NAME IS JOSEPH. UH, AGAIN. I DIDN'T WRITE ANYTHING DOWN. I APPRECIATE WHAT EVERYBODY IS SAYING. I'M WORKING IN A FACILITY RIGHT NOW, WITH ALMOST 12 YEARS, I RUN THE KITCHEN. SO I AM DEFINITELY FACE TO FACE WITH THESE CLIENTS THAT WE HAVE THAT A MA BAKER ACT A S A, UM IT'S REALLY A LOT MORE IN DEPTH THAN WHAT EVERYBODY HAS SAID OVER HERE. IT REALLY IS. I MOVED HERE 30 YEARS FROM NEW YORK AND I WAS LIKE, WOW, THIS IS WOW. THE AWESOME MOVE DOWN TO 
          [01:00:01]
PALM BEACH GARDENS BECAUSE MORE JOBS WERE DOWN THERE MET A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN MOVED UP HERE. I SAID THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME BECAUSE PALM BEACH GARDENS IS GONNA BE LIKE BOCA. NOW. I'M LOOKING AT SEBASTIAN VERO. MY WIFE DOESN'T WANT TO HEAR IT. BUT THAT'S WHERE I'M AT BECAUSE WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW IS WAY MORE THAN I DON'T SEE HOW WE GOT THAT AWARD FOR THE BEST COMMUNITY BECAUSE LIKE IT'S NOT THERE. TO ME. IT'S NOT THERE ANYMORE. I'M A OLD SCHOOL. ANYHOW, THERE'S A LOT TO IT. YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE A BAKER A. THEY'RE GONNA GET AT MY PLACE. THEY GET PICKED UP BROUGHT OVER TO, UH, CORAL SHORES. IN ABOUT A WEEK. THEY COME BACK. THAT'S GREAT. UH, MANY TIMES THEY HOPPED THE FENCE . THEY GO AROUND. HIT THE LIQUOR STORE. FIND SOMEBODY THAT AGAIN. 
          THEY DON'T HAVE ANY ID. THEY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING. WHAT IF, UM , THINK ABOUT THE AMBULANCES THAT ARE GONNA BECOME AN IN AND OUT OF THERE? I MEAN, WE'RE GONNA HAVE THAT BEAUTIFUL COSTCO GIFT RIGHT HERE WITH WE ALREADY HAVE A JAIL FACILITY. A HIGH SCHOOL. I WASN'T A BIG LOVER OF COS THE ONE THAT CAME IN BECAUSE OF WHERE I LIVE. UM I UNDERSTAND THAT IT WAS REALLY SMALL. SO I WAS HAPPY AND WHERE I LIVE IS JUST BEHIND WHERE THIS FACILITY IS. WITH THE UM DOLE FACILITY WAS AND MY SON AND ALL HIS FRIENDS USED TO PLAY IN THAT CREEK. AND IF HE WAS 567 YEARS OLD, HE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO PLAY IN THAT CREEK. I DON'T WANT TO BE OVERPROTECTIVE FOR MY SON. 
          BECAUSE TO ME THAT'S LIKE A FLORIDA KID. FISHING PLAYING IN THE WATER DOING ALL THAT TO ME THAT WOULD BE GONE. I JUST, UM AGAIN. I DIDN'T REALLY WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN. BUT IN MY HEART, THIS KIND OF HURTS BECAUSE I'M NOT AGAINST THE PLACES THAT WE NEED THAT KIND OF HELP. OK, IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT THERE. I MEAN, YOU GOTTA THEY'RE GONNA HOP THE FENCE. THEY'RE GONNA DO WHATEVER THEY CAN TO GET OUT. THEY'RE NOT GONNA HAVE ANY MEANS TO GET AROUND, JUST LIKE OTHER PEOPLE SAID THE FAMILIES CUT THEM OFF AND THAT'S IT. WE'RE GONNA HOW MANY TIMES I MY PLACE WHERE THEY'RE SLEEPING RIGHT IN THE STREET. AND I'M A LITTLE BIT SOUTH OF HERE. AND IT'S A REALLY NICE AREA, AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY EVEN ALLOWED LIKE WE DON'T GET IN TROUBLE FOR THINGS LIKE THAT. IT'S JUST YOU KNOW, AND I GET TO SEE THE REPORTS. OF WHERE THESE PEOPLE COME FROM. AND I'M LIKE, WOW, THEY'RE ONLY LIKE FIVE MILES FROM WHERE I LIVE. I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVE TO SHARE THIS AREA WITH A PERSON THAT'S BEEN HERE SIX TIMES. COURT ORDERED SO THANK YOU. I'M SORRY. THAT'S IT. WAS THERE. ONE MORE. I MEAN, YES , IT'S JEANIE JONES. I FILLED OUT A GREEN FLYER. IF I CAN DO ANOTHER ONE, I AM A LICENSED MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELOR. UM HERE IN FLORIDA. I HAVE PRACTICED FOR 15 YEARS. UM 10 YEARS HERE IN THE TREASURE COAST. I HAVE  &-PH SEVERE PSYCHIATRIC AND ADDICTIONS. UM HERE IN STEWART. I ALSO HAD A PRIVATE PRACTICE FOR SOME TIME. I CURRENTLY AM A MOTHER OF THREE AND I WORK FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT OF PORT SAINT LUCIE AS A MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELOR FOR OUR SCHOOLS. UM MY MAIN CONCERN WITH THIS TYPE OF FACILITY IS IN MY ROLE AS A CLINICIAN. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH OUTPATIENT SERVICES. TO PROVIDE FOLLOW UP CARE FOR THESE INDIVIDUALS THAT WOULD BE TRAVELING ACROSS COUNTRY TO GET REHAB. UM BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FOR OUR OWN INDIVIDUALS, OUR OWN RESIDENTS IN OUR COMMUNITY HERE IN THE TREASURE COAST. UM IT'S ALSO A VERY ALARMING UM, THE PROPOSAL OF SUCH A LARGE FACILITY WITH THE AMOUNT OF STAFF BEING PROPOSED. ALSO IT'S NOT REALISTIC. UM IT REQUIRES 2 TO 3 STAFF MEMBERS PER RESIDENTS OR PER CLIENT IN A IN PATIENT FACILITY HAVE WORKED IN RESIDENTIAL, UM, DETOX. UM ADD OUTPATIENT SETTING, AND IT'S JUST NOT REALISTIC. THE AMOUNT OF INDIVIDUALS THAT LEAVE AGAINST MEDICAL ADVICE AND THAT STATE OF EARLY RECOVERY GOING THROUGH DETOX. UM, CARE IS TYPICALLY FOR A FACILITY AROUND 50% LIKE I SAID, I WORKED AS A COMPLIANCE OFFICER. I RAN THE NUMBERS FOR COASTAL DETOX THEM, SAYING 15. THAT'S OUTSTANDING THAT'S NOT HEARD OF IN OUR INDUSTRY. UM THE OTHER CONCERN I HAVE IS HOW THEY EXPECT TO STAFF THAT LARGE OF A FACILITY IF THEY DECIDE TO INCREASE THEIR NUMBER OF STAFF. I'M A LICENSED CLINICIAN. THERE'S NOT MANY OF US OUT THERE AND IN ORDER TO WORK AT A FACILITY THAT IS ACCEPTING IN NETWORK INSURANCE COMPANIES, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE LICENSED CLINICIANS, UM IT 
          [01:05:05]
IT'S A REQUIREMENT IN ORDER TO GET PAID, UM AND THE PERSON PROPOSING THIS FACILITY DOES NOT HAVE A GOOD REPUTATION. AMONGST US THERAPISTS IN THE TRAGIC COAST COMMUNITY DUE TO MASSIVE LAYOFFS. DO THE BAD BUSINESS DECISIONS. SO I URGE YOU GUYS TO REALLY THINK ABOUT THIS, UM, THE TYPE OF INDIVIDUALS THAT'S GONNA BRING UM FROM OUT OF STATE, LIKE OTHERS SAID, UM, YOUNG ADULTS THAT ARE USING THEIR PARENTS' INSURANCE THAT ARE GIVEN THAT CHANCE. WE'VE SEEN IT. I'VE WORKED IN PALM BEACH FIVE YEARS SO IT HAPPENED. THEY GET CUT OFF AND THEY'RE ON THE STREETS. UM I'VE WORKED WITH THE STEWART POLICE MANY, MANY TIMES TO UM, IN HELPING INDIVIDUALS AND TO GET THIS, UM, TREATMENT RATHER, IT'S COASTAL DETOX OR CORAL SHORES, AND THERE'S JUST NOT ENOUGH SERVICES FOR THIS TYPE OF FACILITY HERE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THAT'S ALL. I DO WANT TO SAY AND I MAYBE, UH, MY, UH, COMMISSIONERS HERE, AGREE? WE'VE LISTENED TO YOU ALL WE'RE HAPPY THAT YOU CAME AND TOLD US YOUR STORIES, AND WE APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH. NOW WE WILL GO ON. 
          MADAM MAYOR. CAN I ASK CITY MANAGER AGAIN? IF WHEN WE TOOK ITEM NUMBER 11 AND 12. WAS IT RESET FOR A DATE? CERTAIN WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO IT YET.

ALL CITY LANDFILL EXTENSION AND AGAIN FOR THE PUBLIC WHO IS NOT HERE AND TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S READ INTO THE RECORD WHATEVER ACTION WE TAKE TODAY. BY THE CITY ATTORNEY. RESOLUTION NUMBER 46-2024 OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF STUART, FLORIDA, EXTENDING THE DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD AT THE OLD CITY OF STUART LANDFILL FROM APRIL 30TH 2024 TO SEPTEMBER 30TH 2024 PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. I KNOW THAT THIS IS SELF EXPLANATORY. BUT IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU'D LIKE TO ADD TO THAT? SO THE MANAGER SIX MONTHS CHANGE EXTENSION. WE TALKED ABOUT IT LAST MEETING. THEY'VE REQUESTED AN EXTENSION TO CONTINUE DOING THE INVESTIGATION. YOU GUYS ARE FREE TO VOTE. NO. VOTE TO APPROVE SECOND. I HAVE A SUPPORT PROGRAMS. I'M SORRY. UH, MIKE. I ASSUME THEY'RE OPTIMISTIC. OTHERWISE THEY WOULD NOT BE ASKING FOR THE EXTENSION, WHICH IS I MEAN, I DON'T THINK THAT THEY'D BE SPENDING THE MONEY IF THEY THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE A FAILURE. THEY FINISHED THE INITIAL TESTING AND THEY'RE MOVING ON TO PHASE TWO, WHICH OBVIOUSLY BECOMES MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE, SO I DON'T THINK THEY WOULD BE DOING IF IT WAS WORTH IT, AND I DID HAVE A DISCUSSION WITH THEM AS IT RELATED TO THE TAX CREDITS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. AND HONESTLY, THAT'S NOT EVEN THAT LUCRATIVE FOR THEM AT ALL BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE TAX THE AMOUNT OF THE MAN OF THE CLEAN UP. VERSUS THE WAY YOU GET THE TAX CREDITS AND THE CAPPED AMOUNT. THEY WOULD HAVE TO EXTEND THE CLEANUP OVER A 10 YEAR PERIOD. TO OBTAIN THE FULL TAX CREDITS FOR IT BECAUSE YOU'RE ONLY ALLOWED A CERTAIN AMOUNT PER YEAR. SO IT'S THEIR INTENTION. TO FINISH THIS PHASE AND IF THEY DETERMINED THAT THEY CAN MOVE FORWARD TO MOVE FORWARD AND TRY TO MAKE THE LAND PRODUCTIVE AS FAST AS THEY CAN. 
          BECAUSE QUITE FRANKLY, THEY THEY DON'T SEE THE TAX CREDIT AS BENEFIT IS SOME OTHERS DO AND BECAUSE THIS WAS A BROWN FIELD, THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE THEY WANNA DO RESIDENTIAL. THIS IS GONNA BE A COMMERCIAL SALE. IT'LL BE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL IN THERE. THE THEY, UH ACTUALLY, CAPITAL IS THE LARGEST INDUSTRIAL LANDHOLDER. I BELIEVE IN THE COUNTRY THEY ARE AND, UH AND A MAYOR. IF I MAY I SPOKE WITH, UH, WITH WITH. UH MR UH, MORTON, I THINK IS HOW HE PRONOUNCES HIS NAME. BUT ANYWAYS , UH, THEY'VE DONE HUNDREDS OF THESE. THEY DON'T SELL THEIR LAND. THEY MAINTAIN THEIR WHEN THEY DO WHEN THEY BUY PROPERTY. WHETHER IT'S THE THEY DON'T THEY'RE NOT JUST DOING FLIPS. THEY'RE THEY'RE DOING QUALITY PROJECTS THAT THEY PLAN TO KEEP IN THEIR PORTFOLIO FOR MANY, MANY YEARS, SO AND I THINK THAT'S A VERY GOOD THING BECAUSE THEY WANT QUALITY. THEY THEY THEY SACRIFICE OUR TIME TO FIND QUALITY TENANTS FOR THEIR STUFF AND QUALITY PROJECTS DEPEND ON FIRST AND AGAIN. IT'S ALL COMMERCIAL. INDUSTRIAL, UM THAT THEY DO SO THANK YOU, MADAM. MAY IF THERE'S NO OTHER UM, DISCUSSION FROM THE BOARD. I'D LIKE TO MOVE RESOLUTION NUMBER WE HAVE WE HAVE. WE DID HAVE WE HAVE A MOTION OF COMMISSIONER? UH, MCDONALD SECOND. AND YOU, C. I DO THAT.

LEASE AGREEMENT WITH MARINE INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION FOR THE CITY OWNED PROPERTY LOCATED AT 401 SW FEDERAL HIGHWAY, STUART, FL (RC): RESOLUTION No. 48-2024; A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF STUART, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A LEASE AGREEMENT WITH AN ELECTED OFFICIAL, MARINE INDUSTRIES ASSOCIATION OF THE TREASURE COAST, OR ANOTHER NON-PROFIT AGENCY FOR THE CITY OWNED PROPERTY LOCATED AT 401 SW FEDERAL HIGHWAY, STUART, FL; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.]
OK, MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE LEASE AGREEMENT WITH MARINE INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION FOR THE CITY OWNED PROPERTY LOCATED AT 401, SOUTHWEST FEDERAL HIGHWAY. STEWART AND LEE, WOULD YOU READ THAT RESOLUTION? OF COURSE, MADAM MAYOR RESOLUTION NUMBER 48-2024 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF STUART, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A LEASE AGREEMENT WITH AN ELECTED OFFICIAL. MARINE INDUSTRIES ASSOCIATION OF THE TREASURE COAST OR ANOTHER NONPROFIT AGENCY FOR THE CITY OWNED PROPERTY LOCATED AT 401, SOUTHWEST FEDERAL HIGHWAY. STUART, FLORIDA. PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. WENT TO A PROOF. SECOND WE HAVE A MOTION FOR TO APPROVE A SECOND. AND THAT ONE IS SURELY JUST TO BE READ INTO THE RECORD AND I JUST FOR THE RECORD JUST TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW THIS PROPERTY IS IN THE SAME PARCEL AS SHEPHERD'S PARK, SO THERE IS NO SEPARATION OR DISTINCTION BETWEEN PROPERTY LINES. IT'S NOT LIKE THERE'S TWO PARCELS THAT MAKE UP SHEPHERD'S PARK. IT IS ONE PARCEL AND AS A RESULT WHEN THE CITY ACCEPTED THE GRANT MONEY TO REDO SHEPHERD'S PARK, A CONDITION OF THE FA GRANT ABSOLUTELY PROHIBITS YOU FROM USING ANY OF THE, UH, PROPERTY WITHIN THE FF GRANT AREA FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES OR OTHER THAN THE RECREATIONAL PURPOSES AND IF YOU DO YOU HAVE TO PAY THEM BACK. THE AMOUNT OF THE GRANT MONEY 
          [01:25:03]
WITH INTEREST FROM THE DAY THE GRANT STARTED, BUT THE REAL KICKER IS THAT YOU ALSO HAVE TO GIVE THEM AN EQUIVALENT AMOUNT OF MONEY TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE PARCEL, WHICH IS THE SUBJECT. OF THE GRANT. SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT SHEPARD'S PARK WOULD COST, BUT IT'S GOT A SERIOUS LENGTH OF WATERFRONT PROPERTY ON IT. AND I WASN'T ABOUT TO BE THE GUY THAT RENTED THIS OUT TO LIKE. SOME T SHIRT SHOP OR WHATEVER IT WAS TO HAVE IT. ONLY BANKRUPT THE CITY TO PAY DEP BACK FOR THE SHEPHERD'S PARK. AND AS A RESULT , THIS OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH THE MARINE INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION AND OR AN ELECTED OFFICIAL WILL ALLOW US TO GET PERMISSION FROM THE DP, WHICH I'VE ALREADY SPOKEN TO, AND HAVE TENTATIVE PERMISSION FOR THE ELECTED OFFICIAL. BUT THE MARINE INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION WILL ALREADY QUALIFY AS WHAT THEY CALL AN ANCILLARY USE BECAUSE THEY'LL FIX UP THE DOCKS. THEY WILL PROVIDE INFORMATION REGARDING THE RIVER OR LAKE OKEECHOBEE, AND THEY'LL DO THEIR ANNUAL RIVER CLEAN UP FROM THERE. SO UH, IT REALLY WILL BE A WIN WIN FOR BOTH SIDES. THANK YOU, MIKE TELLING THE HISTORY OF THAT MAYOR. YES. NO VERSION OR THE COMMISSIONER COLLINS UH, MIKE, THIS GIVES YOU AUTHORIZATION TO NEGOTIATE A LEASE. CORRECT IS THAT GONNA COME BACK IN FRONT OF US? IT WON'T COME BACK. THIS IS IT UNLESS YOU GUYS WANTED TO I, I WOULD JUST I THINK FOR, YOU KNOW, GENERAL INFORMATION FOR EVERYBODY, THE RESIDENCY. THEY MIGHT WANT TO KNOW WHAT THAT LEASE YOU GUYS WANT TO GO OVER THE HISTORICALLY THE STEWART HISTORY LEASE BECAUSE WE DIDN'T DO THAT, AND IT'S NOT GONNA BE MUCH. I MEAN, I CAN DO IT IF I'M HAPPY TO, BUT IT'S A IT'S A 501 C THREE LEASE THAT'S NOMINAL. I MEAN, WHAT NUMBER DO YOU GUYS WANT? I DON'T WANT A NUMBER. I WAS JUST LIKE FOR PUBLIC RECORD THAT MASK OR SOMEBODY. IS THAT WHAT IF IT'S YEAH, IT'S GONNA BE LIKE, YEAH, I LOOKED TO THE OFFICIAL REPRESENTATIVE. WELL, NO, BUT YOU'RE SAYING THE SAME TERMS. YOU MIND SHARING WHAT? SORRY. CONGRESSMAN STUART IS A DOLLAR I THINK THEY PAID SO FAR. UM AND THEN, UM, BRIAN MAST IS A IS A RATE SET BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. I THINK IT'S RIGHT ABOUT $1000 A MONTH. AND I THINK , UM, TOBY OVERDORF IS RIGHT ABOUT THE SAME PRICE RIGHT NOW. UM, I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT NUMBER, BUT I THINK IT MIGHT BE 100. SO THIS WOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I KNOW. THAT, UM THE, UH MARINE INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION CAN'T PAY THE ENTIRE 100. THEY'VE ALREADY SAID THAT THEY SAID THEY'D REBUILD THE DOCKS AND I ALSO SAID THAT'S WHY I INCLUDED IT AS BOTH BECAUSE WHAT I CAN DO IS GIVE HALF OF IT TO AN ELECTED OFFICIAL HALF OF IT TO THEM AND THEN SPLIT THAT 1100. IN HALF, BASICALLY, BASED UPON WHICH PORTION GETS, HOWEVER, IT PLAYS OUT AND THE REAL OPPORTUNITY FOR US IS TO HAVE THEM MAINTAIN IT. PAY THE ELECTRIC BILL AND KEEP IT IN SHAPE. BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT'S EMPTY AND THE LAST TENANT. THE DOCS HAVE NOT BEEN REBUILT SINCE THE 2015 HURRICANE SO YOU CAN'T WALK ON THEM. THE DECK OUTSIDE THE NAILS ARE COMING OUT OF IT, AND BOARDS ARE MISSING. AND YOU CAN'T WALK ON THAT. AND THERE WAS DEBRIS AND OTHER STUFF AROUND IT. THAT LITERALLY MADE IT LIKE A DANGEROUS CONDITION. SO MY HOPE IS THAT BY HAVING THEM CLEAN IT UP AND HAVING THEM PRESENT THERE, IT WILL PROVIDE AN ELEMENT OF A BENEFIT TO THE PEOPLE IN THE PARK THAT WILL BE ABLE TO INTERACT WITH THE MARINE INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION, BUT ALSO WILL ALLOW THEM TO CLEAN IT UP FOR US AT NO COST TO US, MADAM MAYOR. THANK YOU, MR. UM CITY MANAGER ISN'T A LITTLE PARCEL OF THAT GOING TO BE A PART OF THE US ONE IMPROVEMENT WITH A LITTLE BIT OF LANDSCAPING. SO THE FRONT SIDE OF IT IS PART OF THE CR, A UNRELATED TO THIS LEASE. THEY WANT TO USE IT AS THE SAMPLE FOR THE LANDSCAPING PORTION TO DO THE LANDSCAPING PROJECT THAT THE CR A IS DOING ALL THE WAY DOWN TO PAST PUBLICS THAT YOU PASSED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. I ACTUALLY HAD DISCUSSED THAT REALLY WITH THE PERSPECTIVE TENANTS BECAUSE THAT WE WERE GOING TO DO ANYWAY. AS THE LANDLORD. WE'D HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO THAT, REGARDLESS. THANK YOU. 
          WE HAVE THIS. MAKE THIS, UM UH, THAT I'M CLEAR. WE'RE WE'RE VOTING ON THIS. A AS IT IS CORRECT, OR I HAVE A MOTION. RESOLUTION. WE DO ALREADY. I DID OK, I HAVE MCDONALD AND CLARK ANY MORE ANY MORE COMMENTS FROM THE COMMISSIONERS? THERE AREN'T IN ANY COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC. 
          I'VE SEEN THAT. I JUST I'LL MAKE ONE COMMENT. I'M I'M I'M HAPPY THAT THE CITY CAN BE INSTRUMENTAL IN PROVIDING EASY ACCESS TO THEIR ELECTED OFFICIALS. AND IT'S THAT'S A GREAT SPOT. WITH GOOD PARKING, AND PEOPLE WANT TO EXPRESS THEIR CONCERNS ABOUT LOCAL GOVERNMENT. 
          [01:30:07]
THIS IS THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR SOME, SO I SO I DO APPRECIATE THAT. WE ARE PROVIDING AN OPPORTUNITY. I AGREE WITH YOU, AND I THINK IT ALSO GIVES US A RELATIONSHIP WITH THOSE FOLKS AS WELL THAT WE WOULDN'T OTHERWISE HAVE THAT'S DEVELOPED WITH THE OFFICES OVER HERE THAT HAVE GONE ON, SO IT'S REALLY GOOD. GOOD. THANK YOU. ALRIGHT. ALRIGHT, NO CALL.

PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. JUST FOR BACKGROUND. THE THIS IS PART OF THE PLAN THAT THE COMMISSION I THINK HAS HEARD TWO OR THREE TIMES. IT'S CONSISTING OF, UH, WE WERE EITHER GONNA UPDATE THE GARAGE OR RELOCATE IT. AND BECAUSE THE GARAGE IS AN INDUSTRIAL USE. IT REALLY WASN'T APPROPRIATE IN ITS LOCATION, SO WE PUT A DESIGN TOGETHER TO MOVE IT TO THE ADJACENT TO THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT AND MAKE PART OF THE WATER TREATMENT PLAN ON THE CORNER OF PALM BEACH ROAD AND, UH, 10TH. 
          UM, THIS AGENDA ITEM IS NOT ANY TYPE OF APPROVAL. IT ONLY AUTHORIZING ME AS THE CITY MANAGER TO SUBMIT.

2024 MID YEAR BUDGET ADJUSTMENT. YOU READ THAT? OF COURSE. UH, RESOLUTION NUMBER 42,024, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF STUART , FLORIDA AUTHORIZING BUDGET AMENDMENT NUMBER NINE TO THE 2023 2024 BUDGET APPROPRIATING AND AUTHORIZING THE EXPENDITURE 
          [01:35:06]
OF FUNDS TO ACCOUNT FOR ADDITIONAL REVENUES AND APPROPRIATIONS IDENTIFIED AT THE MIDYEAR. PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. THANK YOU. REALLY BOSS. DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS, BOSS? NO. GO AHEAD, OK? COMMISSIONERS. GOOD EVENING. UH, THIS IS AS YOU WERE INFORMED. A COUPLE MEETINGS AGO, THE CITY OF STEWART WON THE GFO A DISTINGUISHED BUDGET PRESENTATION AWARD AGAIN. WE HAD THE HIGHEST RATING THAT WE'VE EVER GOTTEN PREVIOUSLY. AND AS I NOTED IN AN EMAIL WHEN WE ANNOUNCED THAT TO THE COMMISSION. PART OF THAT PROCESS IS HAVING THE, UM INTESTINAL FORTITUDE TO PUT YOUR BUSINESS ON THE STREET. SO BASICALLY WHAT THAT ENTAILS, IS TAKING THE CITY OF STUART'S BUDGET, AND IT IS SUBMITTED FOR REVIEW BY MULTIPLE , SOMETIMES EVEN INTERNATIONAL REVIEWERS. COME BACK WITH THEIR GRADING. OF THE QUALITY OF YOUR BUDGET ON MULTIPLE FACTORS SUCH AS READABILITY, FUTURE LAND USES FUTURE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS. THE DELINEATION AND DESCRIPTION OF WHAT WE DO WITH THE TAX FUNDS, AND THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATIONAL STATISTIC AND JUST STRAIGHT NUMBERS IN THAT DOCUMENT. YOU SUBMIT THAT FOR REVIEW. AND THESE REVIEWERS FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY COME BACK AND STATE THAT YOU HAVE OR HAVE NOT MET CRITERIA, AND THERE'S BASICALLY A DIDN'T APPLY. FAILED TO DO IT, DID IT ADEQUATELY OR EXCEEDED AT IT, AND OUR OVERALL RATING WAS EXCELLED THIS YEAR. AND SO, UM, WE DO HAVE SOME POINTS THAT WE DIDN'T SCORE EXCELLENT ON, AND WE WILL WORK ON GETTING EXCELLENT SCORES ON THOSE AS WELL. BUT PART OF THAT PROCESS ALSO IS TO ALLOW YOU AND THE PUBLIC AN OPPORTUNITY AT THE MID POINT BEING THE MONTH OF MARCH. NOW COMPLETE. WE'VE HAD A CHANCE TO ROLL IN REVENUES AND EXPENSES THROUGH THE SIX YEAR PERIOD. UH, THROUGH THE SIXTH PERIOD OF THE YEAR. AND TO LOOK AT WHERE WE ARE VERSUS THE ADOPTED BUDGET. AND IS MY PLEASURE TONIGHT TO PRESENT TO YOU. UH, WHAT THE STATUS OF THE BUDGET IS AT THIS MOMENT, HIGHLIGHTS SOME TOPICS AND ENTERTAIN YOUR QUESTIONS. IF YOU HAVE ANY UH, BASICALLY, I'VE DISCLOSED FOR YOU WHERE WE ARE ON OUR BUDGET TO ACTUAL STATUS. UM JUST SOME HIGHLIGHTS, YOU'LL SEE. IT'S VERY GOOD WHEN REVENUES ARE AT SIX MONTHS INTO THE YEAR HALFWAY THROUGH THE YEAR TO HAVE REVENUES AT 52% AND THE EXPENSES OF 50. I CAN WHOLEHEARTEDLY SAY THAT THAT IS BECAUSE OF THE STAFF. AND, UH, IT ALWAYS COMES FROM THE TOP DOWN. THE MANAGER HAS A PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY AND HE GOES THROUGH PEOPLE'S P CARD RECEIPTS NOW. SO UH, THERE WAS A LOT OF, UH, WATCHING YOUR STEP AROUND RIGHT NOW, UM, AND THEN AS YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE ARE YOU KNOW THE CR A PROPERTY. 
          UNFORTUNATELY THE CR A. YOU KNOW, THEY THEY ARE FRONT LOADED. ALL THE REVENUES COME IN, GENERALLY EARLY IN THE YEAR AND THEN YOU KNOW, THE PROJECTS HAPPEN THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. BUT THOSE TIFF DOLLARS FROM THE CITY AND THE COUNTY HAVE ALREADY BEEN DEPOSITED INTO THE FUND. THERE ARE THERE ARE SOME C DB G GRANT FUNDS THAT ARE THERE. THAT'S WHY THE REVENUE IS NOT 100% THOSE WOULD BE DETERMINED BASED ON THOSE PROJECTS. OUR LEAST PROPERTIES ARE DOING WELL. 59% OF WHAT WE PROJECTED. LIKE HAS BEEN PAID IN, AND WE'VE ONLY SPENT 41% ON VARIOUS MAINTENANCE EXPENSES. WATER AND SEWER. I'LL TELL YOU RIGHT NOW THAT THE THREE ENTERPRISE FUNDS ALL HAD SOME SORT OF, UM DEBT SERVICE FINANCING IN THEM OR SOME KIND OF INTER FUND LOAN. THESE NUMBERS ARE NET OF THAT, BECAUSE IT WOULD SKEW IT. IT WOULD LOOK AS IF WATER SHE WOULD ONLY COLLECTED 30% OF THEIR REVENUE. BUT IT SPENT 42% SO I'VE PRESENTED THESE NUMBERS AS NET TO YOU WITHOUT THAT DEBT. IN THERE, SO THIS IS BASICALLY JUST REALLY THE DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS. YOU'LL SEE THAT ALL THREE OF THE ONES ARE DOING WELL . SANITATION HAD SOME UPFRONT CAPITAL EXPENDITURES, WHICH ARE SEASONAL. THAT'S NO INDICATOR THAT THEY'RE HEADED OFF THE RAILS AND SIMPLY THAT THEY BOUGHT SOME LARGE TICKET ITEMS EARLIER IN THE YEAR. I FEEL CONFIDENT THAT SANITATION AS WELL AS STORM, WATER AND WATER SEWER ARE WELL ON TRACK TO FINISH OUT THE YEAR WITHIN OUR GUIDELINES THAT YOU ADOPTED FOR THE FISCAL YEAR, 24. I PRESENTED IT GRAPHICALLY HERE AND AGAIN. I NOTED THAT THE ENTERPRISE FUNDS ARE NET OF THAT. THAT AND SO THIS GIVES YOU MORE OF A GRAPHICAL VIEW OF WHERE REVENUES AND EXPENSES ARE CHASING EACH OTHER. HOW THEY HOW THEY'RE FARING AT THIS MOMENT. UH, SOME OF THE REVENUE HIGHLIGHTS. YOU KNOW, AVALOR TAXES ARE COMING IN. WE ONLY BUDGET 95. BY LAW, WE COULD BUDGET MORE. BUT THEN WE'D BE ON THE HOOK IF WE DIDN'T COLLECT IT. SO AS SOME PEOPLE WAIT UNTIL THE LAST DAY TO PAY. 
          YOU KNOW, SO THEY THEY WILL COME IN. WE'LL WAIT FOR THOSE ADDITIONAL DEPOSITS. ARE VOTED DEBT SERVICE MILLAGE THAT WE HAVE TO FUND THE GO BONDS THAT WE HAD ON THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMPLEX ARE STILL COMING IN. YOU CAN SEE THAT UTILITY TAX. FOR ELECTRIC AND NATURAL GAS. FARING 
          [01:40:06]
QUITE WELL NOW, UH, THE PERMIT INSPECTION REVIEWS AND MISCELLANEOUS DEVELOPMENT FEES I WANT THAT'S TWO FOLD ONE. I THINK THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE OPEN GOV. SOFTWARE AND UM JODY NICKS OR KUBLER K KOS DEPARTMENT . UH, THEY NOW ARE VERY ABLE TO IDENTIFY SOME OF THESE FEES AND INSPECTION THINGS THAT WERE EITHER NOT BEING COLLECTED OR BEING RECORDED. SLIGHTLY WRONG. 
          THEY WERE BEING LUMPED INTO THE TOTAL, AND NOW WE HAVE A MUCH MORE ZEROED IN TARGET ON IT WITH THE AUTOMATED PERMITTING PROCESS, SO THE FEES ARE BEING RECORDED HYPER ACCURATELY, AND ALSO YOU SEE THAT THEY'RE BEGINNING TO COLLECT SOME OF THE OTHER FEES THAT MAYBE WEREN'T THERE. I EXPECT THAT TO GO UP. AS UH, AS THAT PROCESS MATURES. UM I. I KNOW THAT SHE HAD REFERRED TO SOME OF THE GLITCHES IN THE SOFTWARE, BUT IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING OUT. THE STAFF IS GETTING THE SWING OF IT. FINALLY. FRANCHISE FEES FROM ELECTRIC AND NATURAL GAS ARE ALSO TRACKING VERY SIMILAR TO THE UTILITY TAX SECTION OF THAT OUR FIRE SAFETY PUBLIC SAFETY ASSESSMENT HAS TRACKED. AS AS WELL. SEWELL'S POINT PROTECTION. OUR AGREEMENT WITH THEM. THEY ARE GOOD PAYERS, JUST LIKE THESE ELECTED OFFICIALS WHEN THEY RENT THOSE UH, PROPERTIES FROM US. 
          IT'S AN ACH PAYMENT, SO I DON'T HAVE TO CHASE THEM DOWN. THEY'RE GOOD PAYERS. AMBULANCE FEES ARE UP I. I CAN ONLY ATTRIBUTE THAT TO THE CHIEFS AND THEIR RESCHEDULING OF SOME OF THE NEW AMBULANCES AND EQUIPMENT THEY HAVE. THEY'RE ABLE TO. CAPTURE MORE OF THOSE RUNS THAT POSSIBLY WERE GOING TO THE COUNTY. UH, CEMETERY. UNFORTUNATELY I. I HOPE THESE ARE PRE PURCHASES OF PEOPLE PLANNING TO BE BURIED HERE ONE DAY, NOT UPTICK IN ACTUAL BURIALS. UM AND THEN, OF COURSE, OUR OUR PARKING FINES AND OTHER UH SERVICE FEES THAT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAVE CHARGED OF SEEN AN INCREASE AGAIN. I CAN ONLY ATTRIBUTE THAT TO THE OPEN GOV SOFTWARE THAT THEY'RE UTILIZING OVER THERE. THE POLICE ADOPTED IT VERY QUICKLY. INTEREST EARNINGS. I MEAN, WHAT CAN I SAY? I DO A GREAT JOB. UM NO, WE, UH I DO ACTUALLY SIT ON THE STATE BOARD OF INVESTMENT REVIEW, AND SO THE CITY OF STUART HAS AN ACTIVE HAND IN THE DETERMINATION OF WHERE GOVERNMENT FUNDS ARE INVESTED. UH THE FLORIDA CLASS IS NOW OVER 7 BILLION FUNDS UNDER MANAGEMENT. AND SO IT'S A VERY PROSPEROUS FUND, AND WE OFFER MULTIPLE THINGS SO NOT ONLY IT'S LIKE THE HAIR CLUB FOR MEN, NOT ONLY MY CLIENT, BUT I'M THE YOU KNOW I'M ON THE BOARD. 
          UH, CONTRIBUTIONS FROM PRIVATE AND PUBLIC. UH, YOU KNOW, WE I GUESS MORE PEOPLE HAVE STEPPED UP THAN WHAT WE HAD LAST YEAR AND, AND THAT'S ALWAYS ENCOURAGING TO SEE AND THEN THOSE MISCELLANEOUS REVENUES COME FROM ADMIN FEES AND RETAINERS THAT WE GET ON COLLECTING OTHER FEES. YOU KNOW, WE STILL COLLECT FEES FOR THE COUNTY. AND SO WE GET TO KEEP OUR LITTLE PIECE OF THE ADMIN FEE ON THAT AND OTHER REFUNDS AND REBATES THAT WE GET. AND REALLY IS WHAT IT'S CALLED MISCELLANEOUS REVENUES. AND THEN THESE ARE THE ADJUSTMENTS A LITTLE PIECE ANYMORE. UH, NO. IT'S UM I MEAN, YES, IT'S NOT SUCH A LITTLE PIECE. IT'S GETTING THERE. HOWEVER, THAT IS, UH, COMMISSIONER TO YOUR POINT. YOU. IF THERE'S NO ACTIVITY, THEN THERE'S NO MONEY. IF THERE'S ACTIVITY THAT'S RUNNING, SO IT'S KIND OF KIND OF CAUSALITY THERE. THE REVENUES AS YOU CAN SEE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT COLLECTS WHAT'S CALLED THE GIMME GRANT, AND THEY'VE BEEN BANKING THAT UP FOR A FEW YEARS, AND SO THEY FINALLY IDENTIFIED SOME CAPITAL ITEMS. SO THIS IS REALLY A SUM ZERO GAIN HERE THAT IT'S A WASH. WE HAVE THE REVENUE. WE HAD THE CASH IN HAND. WE JUST WEREN'T RECOGNIZING IT AS REVENUE YET. SO WE ARE RECOGNIZING THAT EMS GIVE ME GRANT AND YOU'LL SEE IN THE APPROPRIATIONS SECTION WHERE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IS OFFSETTING THAT FOR PURCHASING STAIR CHAIRS AND CO. UH CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS. AND ALSO, UH, I AM TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THOSE INCREASED INTEREST EARNINGS TO OFFSET SOME OF THESE ADDITIONAL REQUESTS BY THE DEPARTMENTS. AS WELL AS THOSE ADDITIONAL REBATES THAT YOU NOTICED COMMISSIONER THAT ARE NOW NOT A SMALL REVENUE ITEM. OFFSETTING THAT WE'VE HAD SOME, YOU KNOW, OVERTIME ISSUES IN PUBLIC SAFETY. WE'RE WORKING OUR WAY THROUGH THAT. THE TECHNOLOGY SERVICES DEPARTMENT IS CONSTANTLY ADDING IT. I CAN SAY IN MY 30 YEARS HERE WE'VE GONE FROM THE WILD WILD WEST TO WHERE MILITARY GRADE SECURITY HERE NOW. AND ALSO THE PLANNER POSITION IN THE DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT THAT HAD THAT WAS AN FT IN THE BUDGET BUT WAS UNFUNDED IN A SENSE FROZEN THE DIRECTOR OF THE DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR HAS CHOSEN TO ACTIVATE THAT POSITION. AND I BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE I ALWAYS TRY TO MATCH ONGOING EXPENSES WITH ONGOING REVENUES, NOT ONE TIME REVENUES. AND I BELIEVE THAT WE CAN SUSTAIN THAT POSITION GIVEN OUR REVENUE FLOW. AND THEY'RE IN THE WATER SEWER FUND. THIS IS SIMPLY AN AD, THE OPEN GOV SYSTEM. WE CURRENTLY UTILIZE FOR ALL THE OTHER OPERATIONS IN THE CITY. THE STAFF WAS GIVEN SOME 
          [01:45:06]
DEMONSTRATIONS OF THEIR ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND HAVE CHOSEN TO ADD THAT TO OUR FAMILY OF PRODUCTS. AND I WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY ADDITIONAL INTEREST EARNINGS IN THE WATERS WERE FUN TO ADD THAT EXPENDITURE TO THEIR BUDGET AS WELL. THAT THAT'S A ONE TIME ACQUISITION COST FOR THAT, YES, OR THAT THAT IS THE FIRST YEAR IMPLEMENTATION TO MIGRATE ALL THE DATA DO THE TRAINING SET IT UP. THE ONGOING EXPENSE WILL BE $60,000 ANNUALLY. FOR THE OPEN. GRAPH CARTOGRAPHIC ASSET MANAGEMENT. YES SIR. THAT IS SYSTEM WOULD HANDLE EVERY MANHOLE COVER PARK BENCH METER TREE. UH, CURBSIDE, YOU KNOW, TRASH BINS. UH, THE PUMPS AT THE WATER PLANT THE TRUCKS. ALL THE MAINTENANCE. THIS WOULD ACTUALLY HANDLE EVERYTHING THAT YOU AND IAN PUBLIC WORKS DOES RELATED TO THE ASSETS OF THE CITY. THEN THERE ONE MORE QUESTION. JOY, ISN'T IT TRUE THAT YOU IN FACT ALONE CAN PULL A FIRE TRUCK? YES SIR. I HAVE THERE'S VIDEO EVIDENCE. I HAVE PULLED THE CITY OF STEWART FIRE TRUCK BY MYSELF. MULTIPLE TIMES, ACTUALLY, OK. CAN I BE ON YOUR TEAM? YEAH, I. I HAVE A TEAM OF RINGERS COMING THAT DAY. DON'T WORRY. THIS IS UM, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS AT THIS POINT? I MEAN, IT'S SHORT AND QUICK ONLY BECAUSE I CAN SAY THAT WE'RE IN REALLY EXCELLENT CONDITION AT THE MOMENT. COMMISSIONER COLLINS WHAT'S UP? YOU HAD MENTIONED THAT, UM SOME AMOUNT OF THAT. INTEREST BEARING ACCOUNTS. REVENUE HAD BEEN USED TO KIND OF SMOOTH THINGS OVER. THAT'S UH, I I'VE ADDED THESE ADDITIONAL ONE TIME REQUEST IN THERE, THE ONLY ITEM IN MY LIST THAT IS ONGOING AS THE NEW POSITION. I BELIEVE THAT THAT IS SUSTAINABLE, GIVEN THE REVENUE FLOW OF THE CITY AT THE MOMENT. DO YOU HAVE OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD? HOW MUCH THAT IS? THAT'S COME OUT OF THAT. 2 MILLION. SO UH, 2 MILLION IN REVENUE FROM THE INTEREST BEARING CORRECT. OH, THAT I'M JUST RECOGNIZING ADDITIONAL. I'M I EXPECT TO COLLECT MORE BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR. I'M ONLY SAYING AT THE MID POINT I'M WILLING TO UP MY REVENUE BUDGET TO REFLECT WHAT I'VE COLLECTED SO FAR. I DO EXPECT THAT TO COME IN EVEN BETTER BEFORE 930. SO IT COULD BE AN ADDITIONAL REVENUE SOURCE TOWARDS THE END OF THE YEAR. 
          THAT PLANNER POSITION AS NOTED IN THE SCHEDULES, 210,000 ALL YOU KNOW, TAX TAG TITLE OUT THE DOOR. OK? HI. YOU SAW THIS? THIS IS A RESOLUTION. RESOLUTION NUMBER 40 DASH. 2024 FOR THE BUDGET AMENDMENT NUMBER NINE. I MOVE APPROVAL SECOND. SHE SAID. WE HAVE A WE HAVE A MOTION. WE HAVE A SECOND ANY COMMENTS ANY MORE COMMENTS SEE? NONE. ANY COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC? JENNY. 
          ROLL CALL. COMMISSIONER MCDONALD . YES, COMMISSIONER CLARK? YES, VICE MAYOR RICH. YES, COMMISSIONER COLLINS MAYOR BRUNER. YES. RIGHT? YEAH, WE. 11 GO AHEAD. UH, MIKE, EXPLAIN THAT INFORMATION ALONE AND JUST BEFORE WE MOVE ON. I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT THAT THAT MID YEAR BUDGET THAT YOU JUST SAW IS THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT IN PARTICULARLY JOLIE'S. DOING? AND THOSE NUMBERS WERE OUT OF THE PARK. I MEAN, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THOSE WORTH HALFWAY NUMBERS, AND THEY ALL LOOK LIKE AN ANNUAL NUMBER. AND YOU CAN REALLY THANK HIM BECAUSE HE STAYS ON IT AND WORKS LATE EVERY NIGHT. BUT THOSE NUMBERS SHOULD HAVE BEEN 50% RIGHT. WE'RE HALFWAY THROUGH. THOSE NUMBERS SHOULD HAVE BEEN LOOKED AT AS HALF AND EVERYBODY WAS LOOKING AT THEM LIKE THEY WERE THE FULL YEAR BECAUSE THEY LOOK LIKE THE WHOLE YEAR. AND SO IT'S REALLY REFLECTION ON HIM. I AGREE. I ALSO DO LIKE SCOTTY ON STAR TREK . I'LL TELL YOU TO TAKE, YOU 
          [Items 11 & 12]
KNOW, FOUR HOURS WHEN IT'S REALLY TWO ANYWAY. UM THE, UH THE OTHER THING IS THAT THE TODAY AT 330. WE RECEIVED A REQUEST FROM ITEM NUMBER 11 AND 12, WHICH WE CAN HANDLE TOGETHER. TO CONTINUE THESE TO THE 13TH OF MAY. IS THAT CORRECT? YES, 13. YEAH I HAVE A LETTER NOW TO MAY 13 TH MEETING. UM I THINK IT'S IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE BOARD TO MOVE TO SET IT FOR A TIME CERTAIN SO THAT THE PEOPLE THAT WERE INTERESTED IN MAKING SURE THAT THEY UH, WERE COMING WITH KNOW THAT IT'S BEEN SAID, AND WE CAN UM, RELAY THAT INFORMATION 
          [01:50:06]
RATHER THAN HAVING IT FALL OFF. THE ONLY THING THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO IS MAIL TO ABOUT SIX PEOPLE BECAUSE THERE'S NOT A LOT OF PROPERTIES AROUND IT ANYWAY. BUT BY SETTING IT FOR A DATE, CERTAIN STAFF CAN ACTUALLY TELL ANYBODY THAT'S INQUIRING THE SPECIFIC DATE SO I'D BE LOOKING FOR A MOTION ON 11. THAT THAT REALLY WOULDN'T BE. UM, NECESSARY ANYWAY, BECAUSE IT IT WASN'T THE VOTE WASN'T GOING TO COUNT BECAUSE OF THE LAND USE CHANGE IS ONLY A ONE PERSON VOTE, BUT THE STATE LAW STILL REQUIRES THE HEARINGS AND THE PUBLIC'S PUBLIC WANTS TO KNOW WE HAVE ONE MOTION FOR BOTH, I THINK, REALLY, WE ONLY NEED IT ON 12. UM BECAUSE 111 WOULDN'T MATTER IF IT WAS HEARD TONIGHT ANYWAY. MOVE TO CONTINUE TO MAY. 13TH AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I MIGHT AS WELL INCLUDE BOTH OF THEM. BOTH AGENDA ITEMS. THESE ARE THE TIME CERTAIN FOR THE DAY NOT NOT JUST THE DATE THE REGULAR MEETING. AND THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE FIRST READING OF THE ORDINANCE FOR THE ZONING, SO IT WAS ALREADY SCHEDULED TO COME BACK NEXT TIME ANYWAY. RIGHT. THE 13. WE STARTED STARTING INSTEAD OF BEING THE SECOND JUST AS A REMINDER ON A DATE. I KNOW, BUT IT'S OK. WE HAVE WE HAVE TO HAVE TWO READINGS FOR BOTH OF THEM. 
          OK, WELL, THEN, UM WE HAVE A MOTION FOR 11. IN THE SECOND. WHAT WE'RE DOING THIS OR JUST 12 OK? I INCLUDED BOTH AT THE REQUEST OF THE ATTORNEY I REQUEST I INCLUDED BOTH ITEMS, OK? AND MAY I SAY THIS AGAIN BECAUSE THE 13TH WE STARTED AT 4 P.M. AND THIS IS A LAND USE MATTER IF WE COULD, UM IF IT'S GONNA BE ON THE AGENDA, STARTING AT FOUR, BECAUSE WE HAVE ALL THE OTHER THINGS, OR WOULD IT BE ON THE AGENDA, MOST LIKELY AT 530. IT MUST TAKE PLACE AFTER FIVE O'CLOCK BY STATE STATUTE, BUT THAT'S WHAT I WANTED. SHORT ON. TIME HAS NEVER BEEN A PROBLEM FOR UNDERSTAND. I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT BECAUSE WE STARTED AT 4 P.M. ON THAT DAY. 
          NO. THE THIS WILL BE ADVERTISED FOR AFTER 5 P.M. AND IF WE WERE BY CHANCE TO FINISH BEFORE FIVE, WE WOULD ACTUALLY WAIT FOR THE AGENDA ITEMS TO GET TO TAKE PLACE AFTER FIVE. THAT IT'S COMBINED. MOTION WE HAVE A SECOND. WHO WAS THE 2ND? MAY I ASK CLARK? THANK YOU. MAY 13TH THAT ANY MORE COMMENTS ANY COMMENT FROM THE PUBLIC. I SEE NO ROLL CALL. COMMISSIONER MCDONALD MAYOR BRUNER. YES VICE MAYOR RIDGE. CLARK. YES, MR COLIN? YES. MEETING ADJOURNED.
