BE NON AGENDA ITEMS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. BRINKLEY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THIS NAME AND YOUR. MY NAME IS FRANKLY, IT'S 815 CENTRAL AVENUE AND THAT'S IS ANY. STUART. THANK YOU. WE ARE HERE A PART OF THE CONCERNED CITIZEN OF STUART. AND WE ARE HERE WITH THE COMMUNITY. AND OUR CONCERN ABOUT THIS PROPOSED FOUR WAY STOP SIGN ON MARTIN LUTHER KING AND CENTRAL GEORGIA AVENUE. AND OUR POINT IS TO ASK YOU ALL WHAT ARE THE PURPOSE OF IT? BECAUSE ME BEING THERE EVERY DAY, AND I'M NOT EXAGGERATING, I'M OUT THERE EVERY SINGLE DAY OF THE WEEK. AND THAT SITUATION IS ONLY GOING TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE WHEN YOU ALLOW THE GUTTER COMPANY TO COME THERE. THAT'S WHEN THE ISSUE BECAME A PROBLEM. PARKING IN FRONT OF THE GUTTER IS, IN OUR VIEW, COMING OFF OF CENTRAL AVENUE. WHEN THE CITY EMPLOYEES WAS PARKED THERE FOR YEARS, WE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE CITY EMPLOYEES PARKING ON MLK DAY. WE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM UNTIL THE GUTTER CAME THERE. EVEN RIGHT NOW, YOU GO THERE, A BIG WHITE TRUCK, IT'S PARKED THERE IN FRONT OF THE GUTTER COMPANY. THERE IS ALWAYS A VAN AND A TRUCK THERE. ALMOST GOT HIT FIVE TIMES IN ONE WEEK, ALMOST T-BONED FIVE TIMES BECAUSE I CANNOT SEE. WE CANNOT SEE. COMING OFF OUR STREET FROM WEST OR EAST BECAUSE OF THE GUTTERS. VEHICLE IN FRONT OF THE PLACE AND IN FRONT OF AND OFF OF, HEAD TO EAST. I GUESS MILK MUST HAVE PUT SOME CONES THERE, BUT THAT'S STILL A PROBLEM BECAUSE IT'S ALWAYS A BIG TRUCK THERE. SO THAT'S STILL A PROBLEM. AND THEN THE VEHICLES THAT'S PARKED IN FRONT OF THE GUTTER, THAT IS THE ISSUE ALONG WITH ALL OF THOSE PLANNERS THAT YOU ALL PUT THERE, WHICH IS TAKEN AWAY. PARKING SPACES ON MLK AND EAST AVENUE, WHICH WE NEED PARKING SPACES ON BOTH OF THOSE STREETS AT THE TIME. AT THE TIME WHEN DAVID DYAS WAS CITY MANAGER, WE SPOKE WITH HIM OF TAKING THOSE THINGS OUT. WE NEED PARKING, BUT THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH THOSE CARS IN FRONT OF THE GUTTER AND ON THE OTHER SIDE. AND LIKE I LIKE TO REITERATE, WHEN THE CITY EMPLOYEES WERE PARKING THERE, WE NEVER HAD NO ISSUE. WE NEVER HAD NO ISSUE. NOW THAT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. AND I SPOKE WITH THE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY FOR THE LAST WEEK. NOBODY, ABSOLUTELY[00:05:06]
NOBODY AGREE WITH THE FOUR WAY STOP SIGN THERE. THAT'S ONLY GOING TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE.AND ANOTHER ISSUE WE HAVE IN RIGHT NOW IS MR. BRINKLEY. THANK YOU. WHITNEY, THE WHITNEY, YOU ALL THE SCHOOL TRAFFIC. NOW, THE POLICE DON'T PUT TRAFFIC ON OUR STREETS FROM THE SCHOOL. WE NEED Y'ALL TO GET THAT STRAIGHTENED OUT. BUT WE DON'T NEED NO FOUR WAY STOP SIGN.
THANK YOU. MR. AND THAT'S THE COMMUNITY SPEAKING. YES, SIR. THANK YOU. MADAM MAYOR, COULD YOU JUST CLARIFY WHERE THIS FOUR WAY STOP IS LOCATED? IT IT WOULD BE AT THE CORNER OF MARTIN LUTHER KING BOULEVARD AND GEORGIA AVENUE, WHICH GOES INTO CENTRAL AVENUE, GEORGIA, ON THE NORTH SIDE OF MARTIN LUTHER KING CENTRAL. ABSOLUTELY. THAT'S A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO PUT FORWARD. MLK IN GEORGIA. YES. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. BRINKLEY. THERE ARE NO OTHER NON-AGENDA ITEMS. PUBLIC COMMENTS. COMMENTS BY BOARD MEMBERS. MADAM MAYOR, THAT I DON'T KNOW IF WE WANT TO READ IT. WE HAVE AT LEAST THE BOARD OR. I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM HOA CODY JOHNSON REQUESTING HIS EMAIL BE READ INTO THE RECORD DURING PUBLIC COMMENT. PLEASE DO SO. IT'S A LITTLE LONG FOR ME TO UNDERTAKE THAT. I THINK I'VE RECEIVED IT AND WE CAN WE CAN SUBMIT THAT. IT'S IT'S SUBMITTED AND I SPOKE. IF WE'VE ALL RECEIVED IT, HE WANTS IT IN THE PUBLIC RECORD. AND BASICALLY WE COULD JUST TAKE AN EXCERPT FROM THERE WHERE HE'S LOOKING TO CORRECT HIS LANGUAGE. YES. I, I IF YOU'RE NOT WILLING TO UNDERTAKE READING THAT TWO PAGES UP HERE, IF YOU'D LIKE, WHEN IT'S MY TURN TO SPEAK. I DID SPEAK TO CODY AND HE EXPLAINED WHAT IT IS HE WANTED TO CORRECT. THANK YOU THAT THOSE ARE ALL MY COMMENTS JUST ON ON THAT FOR THE MEETING. I HAVE NONE, MADAM MAYOR. COMMISSIONER JOB. OKAY. FIRST, I WANT TO ADDRESS MR. BRINKLEY'S ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE THE BOARD TO AT LEAST ASK THE CITY. I'M NOT SURE WHAT DEPARTMENT. I GUESS IT WOULD BE MILTON'S DEPARTMENT OR MAYBE BUILDING DEVELOPMENT TO HAVE SOME SORT OF SURVEY THERE. I'VE PASSED THAT AREA RIGHT AWAY QUITE OFTEN. AND THOSE TRUCKS DO PARK. THEY BLOCK ANY VIEW TO BE ABLE TO BE CHANGED. I MEAN, IT'S REALLY IT'S IT'S JUST THEY'RE HUGE AND THEY HAVE PARKING ON THEIR PROPERTY. I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY'RE NOT PARKING THERE. AND THEY SHOULD BE BECAUSE THEY'RE TAKING UP. I MEAN, THEY'RE REALLY READY TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT THE WAY THEY COME TO THE CORNER. AND WITH THOSE PLANTERS, IT'S JUST NOT REALLY GOOD PLANNING FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE. AND SO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF WE COULD AT LEAST ASK THE. YES, YOU HAVE TO COME TO THE NOT NO. I'LL JUST GIVE YOU A COMMENT. MR. LARRY. MR. DAVIS, PLEASE JUST LET ME FINISH AND THEN YOU CAN COME UP BECAUSE I HAVE TWO OTHER THINGS, SO I. I'D LIKE A CONSENSUS FROM THE BOARD IF WE COULD AT LEAST ADDRESS THAT AND LOOK INTO THE COMPLAINT THAT MR. BRINKLEY HAS BROUGHT UP. YES. I'D LIKE TO KNOW MORE INFORMATION ABOUT IT. THIS IS NEW NEWS ABOUT THE STOP SIGN TO ME, BUT SHOULD TAKE A RIDE PAST THERE. YOU. IT'S REALLY IT'S IT'S SO OBVIOUS.
YEAH. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT MR. BRINKLEY HAS BROUGHT UP AND IN SUPPORT OF THE MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR STREETSCAPE. BUT NOW THE IDEA OF TRYING TO ADDRESS MR. BRINKLEY. BUT IF WE NEED TO GET MORE STUDY INTO IT, WE CAN DO MORE STUDY. THANK YOU. SO I CONTINUE WITH YOUR COMMENT.
RIGHT. AND I THINK WE DO HAVE A CONSENSUS OF THE BOARD TO GO FORWARD. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MR. MAYOR. I HAD SPOKEN TO CODY, WHO MADE A STATEMENT, AND I'M NOT GOING TO READ HIS WHOLE THING. HE JUST REALLY WANTED TO CLARIFY WHEN HE MADE A STATEMENT SAYING THAT E STEWART OWNED THE GUY DAVIS PARK, HE SAID, PLEASE FORGIVE HIM. HIS WORDS SOMETIMES GET AWAY FROM HIM. HE MISSPOKE. HE REALLY WANTED TO SAY THAT HE, HE, HE IS AWARE AND SO IS THEIR ORGANIZATION, THAT IT IS A CITY PARK AND THAT CERTAINLY THE CITY, THE CITIZENS AND THE CITY OWN THAT PARK. AND HE JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE KNEW THAT HE JUST HE MISSPOKE. HE SAID SOMETIMES IN PUTTING A TWO, TWO PAGE LETTER TOGETHER, HE JUST USED THE WRONG WORDS. AND HE JUST WANTED THAT TO BE ON THE RECORD. THANK YOU. OKAY. YES, I HAVE ONE MORE.
IT'S IT'S AN ISSUE. AND THE CITY CLERK AND I HAVE TALKED ABOUT IT BEFORE. WHEN I CAME ON BOARD TO THE COMMISSION TWO YEARS AGO, IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IF WE HAD NOTES OR ANY STATEMENT THAT WE WERE MAKING FROM THE DYESS THAT BECAME PART OF THE RECORD. AND UNTIL RECENTLY, I KNOW THAT RELIGIOUSLY, MYSELF AND COMMISSIONER REED HAND IN OUR NOTES. I NOTICED THE MAYOR MANY TIMES YOU HAVE THINGS THAT YOU'RE READING FROM, BUT YOU NEVER HAND IN NOTES. AND THE OTHER DAY THAT TWO WEEKS AGO, LET'S SEE, TWO WEEKS AGO, THE
[00:10:05]
LAST COMMISSION MEETING, COMMISSIONER RICH READ FROM HIS PAGE AND YOU CAN GO TO THE VIDEO AND LOOK AT IT. SO IF YOU'RE READING FROM YOUR BOOKLET OR YOUR NOTEPAD, THAT IS NOT JUST PERSONAL NOTES, THAT IS SHOULD BE IN THE RECORD YOU'RE READING FROM IT. IT'S IN THE RECORD ON VIDEO, IT'S IN THE RECORD AUDIO. AND CERTAINLY THOSE NOTES SHOULD BE IN PART OF THE RECORD. AND I UNDERSTAND THERE'S A LOT OF CONTROVERSY TO THAT. SO EITHER THE RULE APPEARS FOR ALL OF US OR FOR NONE OF US. THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER, THE BOARD MEMBER, EBERHARD, I KNOW NON-AGENDA ITEMS TO ADDRESS. THANK YOU. I HAVE NOTHING. ALL RIGHT. SO MUCH FOR CHAIR CLERK. IF I COULD KIND OF EXPLAIN THE FOUR WAY STOP SIGN AT MLK, IF YOU DON'T MIND. DO YOU MIND IF I EXPLAIN THIS SITUATION? SO THIS CAME UP A FEW MONTHS AGO, AND THE BOARD DIRECTED STAFF TO LOOK AT DOING FOUR WAY STOP SIGNS AT THAT INTERSECTION BECAUSE OF THE SIGHT LINE ISSUE, EVEN THOUGH IT WILL BE ADDRESSED AS PART OF THE MLK STREETSCAPE PROJECT. BUT THIS WAS KIND OF LIKE AN INTERIM SOLUTION TO PUT FOUR WAY STOP SIGNS. SO WE DID CONTRACT WITH CAP TECH TO DO A STUDY, AND IT DID WARRANT FOR FOUR WAY STOP SIGNS. AND THEN WE ALSO THEY ALSO HELPED DESIGN WHERE THE PLACEMENT OF THESE STOP SIGNS WOULD GO. AND THEN LAST WEEK WE RECEIVED A CALL FROM MR. BRINKLEY THAT THEY DID NOT WANT THE FOUR WAY STOP SIGNS. SO THIS IS SOMETHING I WAS GOING TO BRING UP TO THE BOARD AS ASKING FOR DIRECTION, BECAUSE INITIALLY THE DIRECTION WAS TO LOOK AT DOING FOUR WAY STOP SIGNS AS AN INTERIM FOR SITE VISIBILITY ISSUE AT THAT INTERSECTION, WE DID PUT CONES IN FRONT OF A COUPLE OF BUSINESSES TO HELP, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE COMING FROM THE SIDE STREETS BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T SEE THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON MLK.SO WE BLOCKED A COUPLE OF PARKING SPACES TO ALLOW THAT VISIBILITY. BUT I GUESS WE PROBABLY NEED TO DO IT ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STREETS. I THINK RIGHT NOW IT'S JUST WE PUT THE CONES IN FRONT OF THE CONVENIENCE STORE, BUT MAYBE WE ALSO NEED TO DO IT IN FRONT OF THE TV GUTTER BECAUSE THERE'S A SIGHT LINE VISIBILITY, BUT WE DO NEED TO ADDRESS IT SOMEHOW.
WE DID DO THE STUDY AND IT DID WARRANT THE FOUR WAY STOP SIGNS. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. OKAY, JUST TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT, I THINK EVERYONE IS STILL IN AGREEMENT THAT A SURVEY OF THE STAKEHOLDERS NEEDS TO BE DONE, IN ADDITION TO AN ENGINEERING STUDY. I THINK THE ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. RIGHT? YOU DID IT WITH CAP TECH ALREADY. MAYBE WE NEED TO HAVE THE RESULTS FROM CAP TECH COME AND PUT IT ON THE AGENDA. LET'S TALK ABOUT IT AND LET'S HEAR MORE FROM THE COMMUNITY. SURE. SO ALONG WITH THAT I'M SORRY COMMISSIONER, GO AHEAD. ALONG WITH THAT, WE SHOULD BE LOOKING AT HOW THAT BUSINESS IS PARKING THEIR HUGE TRUCKS TO TAKE AWAY THAT LINE OF SIGHT. I MEAN, SO IT'S MORE THAN JUST ORDERING ANOTHER SURVEY. IT'S REALLY DEALING WITH THE COMPANY THAT'S THERE IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. I KNOW THEY'RE ON MARTIN LUTHER KING, BUT THEY ARE AND THEY DO HAVE PARKING ON THEIR PROPERTY. SO I'VE PASSED A NUMBER OF TIMES, AND I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY'RE PUTTING THOSE HUGE TRUCKS IN FRONT. THANK YOU.
THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO ASK TOO, IS, IS SIMILAR TO, YOU KNOW, CAN ONE CAN WE REGULATE IF THAT'S A PARKING SPACE THE SIZE OF THE TRUCK? I KNOW WE DO ON OSCEOLA STREET FOR EXTRA LARGE TRUCKS THAT STICK OUT THERE, CAN WE REGULATE THOSE? OR THEN, YOU KNOW, WE COULD ADDRESS ONE OF THE OTHER MR. BRINKLEY'S COMMENTS, BUT IT MIGHT BE CONTRADICTORY BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, HE SAID TWO THINGS. WE NEED PARKING SPACES, BUT WE ALSO THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM THE SIZE OF THE VEHICLES PARKING AND BLOCKING THE SIGHT LINE. SO ONE IS IF WE COULD RESTRICT THE SIZE OF VEHICLES IN THOSE SPACES, WHICH I'M NOT CERTAIN WE CAN, BUT IF NOT, WE COULD STUDY IF WE COULD REMOVE THOSE AS ACTUAL SPACES OR MAKE THEM MOTORCYCLE SPACES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO CHANGE IT, YOU KNOW, BIKE AND MOTORCYCLE SPACES TO, TO, YOU KNOW, REMOVE THE, THE NEED FOR THE FOUR WAY STOP BECAUSE YOU'RE REMOVING THE SIGHT OBSTACLE. BUT WE CAN BRING AN AGENDA ITEM WITH DIFFERENT OPTIONS FOR THE BOARD TO CONSIDER. OKAY, OKAY. THANKS. SO WE'RE AT COMMISSIONERS COMMENTS AND WE'RE ON BEFORE THAT WE HAD NONE AGENDA PUBLIC COMMENTS. IF THERE'S ANYONE WITH A NON-AGENDA PUBLIC COMMENT OR SOMETHING TO ADD TO THE COMMENT THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP, MR. DAVIS, WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME NOW? THANK YOU. I GREW UP IN EAST STUART. IF YOU COULD SPEAK UP, MR. DAVIS.
THANK YOU. IS ON 909 EAST AVENUE. TAKE CARE OF IT. TO ADD TO WHAT MR. BRINKLEY WAS SAYING,
[00:15:05]
I THINK THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE THAT NEED TO BE CONSIDERED AS FAR AS THAT FOUR WAY STOP. AND THE PROBLEM INTENSIFIES IN THE MORNINGS AND AFTERNOONS, THE CAR DROP OFF LINE GOING TO SCHOOL. SO TRAFFIC BACKS UP IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. ON MLK. THERE'S AND I THINK HE SENT YOU A VIDEO OR TRY TO SEND YOU GUYS A VIDEO OF PEOPLE COMING IN THE OPPOSITE LANE TRYING TO GET AROUND THOSE TRYING TO MAKE THAT TURN GO TOWARDS THE SCHOOL TO PICK UP THEIR KIDS IN THE AFTERNOON. AND THERE WAS ONE DAY THAT MR. BRING OUT THERE, THERE WAS AN AMBULANCE AND A FIRE TRUCK THAT HAD TO TRYING TO RESPOND. SO THAT'S ADDING TO THE SAFETY. AND OUR MAIN CONCERN IS SAFETY. YOU KNOW, START WITH THE KIDS OR WHOMEVER THAT MAY BE TRYING TO CROSS THE ROAD AT THAT TIME. YOU, MR. BEARD, YOU PRONOUNCE YOUR NAME. YOU MENTIONED GERARD. I'M SORRY FOR MESSING UP YOUR NAME, BUT HE MADE A COMMENT ABOUT GETTING OTHER STAKEHOLDERS INVOLVED. I THINK ONE OF THOSE SHOULD BE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. NOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY RUN THE BUS.MAYBE THEY CAN CHANGE WHAT THE BUS PICK UP AND DROP OFF IS AND LET THE THEIR CARS CAR LINE COME THROUGH THAT WAY. ANOTHER POSSIBILITY IS IF YOU LOOK AT STYPMANN THAT GOES DOWN BACK TOWARDS FLAGLER. SO MAYBE THEY CAN COME AROUND BY ERNEST SOME PRODUCE AND COME IN THAT WAY THAT WILL ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE BACKUP ON THAT STREET. I MEAN, I THINK WE CAN LOOK AT ALL, YOU KNOW, POSSIBILITIES, JUST THIS MAIN THING BEING SAFETY IN MIND OF OUR KIDS, OUR FAMILIES IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. DAVIS. THANK YOU. THANKS. MAYOR, DO YOU HAVE
[COMMENTS BY BOARD MEMBERS (Non-Agenda Items)]
SOMETHING? YEAH. MY LIGHT IS ON. OKAY. OKAY. WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY IS THAT, YES, WE IN AGREEMENT, WE SHOULD LOOK INTO OTHER THINGS. AND COMMISSIONER MATHISON, MAYBE THE KIND OF REALLY LIMITS, IF ONLY MOTORCYCLES. BUT I'VE SEEN IT IN PARKING GARAGES. IT'S A SPACE ONLY FOR SMALL CARS. YOU KNOW, LARGE TRUCKS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PARK THERE. YOU KNOW, IT COULD BE AS SIMPLE AS THAT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. LET'S GO TO THE ACTION ITEMS FOR TODAY.IS OKAY. WE'RE WE'RE ALL WE'RE PAST THE NON AGENDA ITEMS. RIGHT. ARE YOU GOING TO BE MAKING A COMMENT. I MEAN YOU HAVE TO BE PREPARED. OKAY OKAY OKAY. MR. PETERSON. MR. PETERSON HOW Y'ALL DOING. OKAY. THANK YOU. ALRIGHT. NO PROBLEM. 721 SOUTHEAST CENTRAL AVENUE.
ROGER PETERSON. I NOTICED DEALING WITH THAT AREA UP FRONT. I THINK IT'S UTILIZED PROBABLY ABOUT TEN PARKING SPACE. BUT YOU KNOW, WE HAVE EASEMENTS BEHIND THOSE COMMERCIAL APARTMENTS AND BUILDINGS. I MEAN, ARE YOU ABLE TO UTILIZE THAT AREA FOR THEM TO COME AND GO FROM THE REAR AND JUST ELIMINATE THE PARKING IN THE FRONT OF THE EASEMENT? ARE WE TALKING ABOUT MARTIN LUTHER KING BOULEVARD? THAT'S WHAT THE CORNER OF CENTRAL AVENUE AND MLK, THERE'S AN EASEMENT. OKAY, BEHIND TO YOUR COMMENT AND WE'LL WORK WITH IT. WE SAID THAT WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO HAVE A COMMUNITY MEETING AND LOOK AT WHAT THE ENGINEER HAS DONE IN THEIR REPORT. SO WE'LL LOOK AT THAT. OKAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. AGENDA ITEM NUMBER ONE.

THE ORIGINAL BASE VALUE FOR THE CRA IS $299 MILLION, AND THE CURRENT TAXABLE VALUE IS 995 MILLION. THIS GIVES US A $696 MILLION IN INCREMENT VALUE. SO THAT MEANS THE PAYMENT TO THE CRA FROM GENERAL FUND AT 5.0 MILLAGE RATE IS 3.3 MILLION, AND COUNTY'S MILLAGE RATE IS 6.56144 MILLS, RESULTING IN A COUNTY CONTRIBUTION TO THE CRA OF 5.5 MILLION, FOR TOTAL TIF REVENUE OF 8.8 MILLION TO THE CRA TRUST FUND.

WE HAVE A CONTINGENCY OF $91,000, SO THIS MAKES UP A TOTAL OF $12.1 MILLION IN EXPENSES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2027. AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO REITERATE THAT 70% OF THE CRA'S BUDGET IS FOR INFRASTRUCTURE AND CAPITAL PROJECTS. I JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU SOME UPDATE ON CRA PROJECTS. AS YOU KNOW, THE DOWNTOWN UNDERGROUNDING AND SEMINOLE STREETSCAPE PROJECT IS WELL UNDERWAY. THIS PROJECT IS BUDGETED WAS BUDGETED AT EIGHT SEVEN, $8.7 MILLION. WE CONTRACTED WITH BURKHART CONSTRUCTION, AND KIMLEY-HORN IS PROVIDING THE CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, MANAGING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROJECT.
AND WE STARTED THIS CONSTRUCTION BACK IN MAY 2025. WE ANTICIPATE TO COMPLETE THIS IN SUMMER 2027. SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS ARE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2027 WAS. WE DID COMPLETE THE SEMINOLE STREETSCAPE PROJECT BACK IN NOVEMBER 2025. WE RECENTLY DID THE LANDSCAPING.
IN AUGUST 2026, WE COMPLETED THE GRANT OBLIGATIONS FOR THE PROJECT. ALSO, THE TRANSFORMERS ARE ALREADY INSTALLED AND EXPECTED TO BE ENERGIZED BY END OF SEPTEMBER. THE CONNECTION TO BUSINESSES IS ANTICIPATED TO BE COMPLETED BY END OF 2026, AND THEN WE WILL START RESTORING THE SIDEWALK AND ASPHALT BEFORE WE GO INTO OUR OUR PEAK SEASON. SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS FOR 2027 IS WE WILL BE WORKING TO REMOVE THE POLES BETWEEN JANUARY TO 20TH JANUARY TO APRIL 2027. OF COURSE, PENDING. FPL DID YOU JUST GO BACK? BACK? DURING IS THIS NOVEMBER OF 26 OR NOVEMBER OF 27? SIDEWALK AND ASPHALT PATCHING RESTORATION. THAT WOULD BE END OF THIS YEAR. WE ARE GOING TO JUST RESTORE. THIS SEASON STARTS RIGHT BEFORE THE SEASON STARTS. WE'RE GOING TO RESTORE SOME OF THE SIDEWALK AND SOME, YOU KNOW, JUST GET IT LOOKING NICE AGAIN. SUPER. BUT WE DO EXPECT TO HAVE THOSE POLES REMOVED EARLY NEXT YEAR PENDING FPL AND FEC PERMIT. WE ARE WORKING ON WITH FPL, BUT THEY WILL NOT REMOVE ANY OF THE OVERHEAD UTILITIES UNTIL FEC WORK IS COMPLETED. MILLION RESURFACING AND FINAL SIDEWALK RESTORATION IS EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETED BY MIDDLE OF 2027, AND WE CONTINUE TO WORK WITH ALL THE MERCHANTS AND RESIDENTS WE HAVE. WE HAVE MONTHLY COFFEE WITH THE CREW MEETING TO PROVIDE UPDATES ON THE PROJECT.
SO THAT'S BEEN REALLY GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE MERCHANTS, PROPERTY OWNERS, BURKHART AND THE CITY AND THE CRA. PROJECT LIFT IS A 10.291 MILLION PROJECT. IT IS FULLY FUNDED WITH THE CDBG COVID GRANT. WE ARE NEARING COMPLETION, COMPLETION OF THAT PROJECT. WE WE HAVE TO CLOSE OUT THE GRANT. WE HAVE TO. THE GRANT ACTUALLY ENDS END OF SEPTEMBER OF THIS YEAR, BUT WE HAVE TWO MONTHS AFTER THAT TO CLOSE OUT THE GRANT. TO DATE,
[00:30:04]
WE HAVE RECEIVED ABOUT $6.5 MILLION IN REIMBURSEMENTS ALREADY FOR THE ACQUISITION, ENGINEERING, ADMINISTRATION, DEMOLITION AND CONSTRUCTION. SOME OF THE CONSTRUCTION COSTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2027. I DID BUDGET $1 MILLION TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE SUFFICIENT FUNDS TO CLOSE OUT THE GRANT FOR ANY OUTSTANDING INVOICES THAT SHOULD BE RECEIVED THAT AFTER SEPTEMBER END OF THIS MONTH. AND WE ANTICIPATE TO SEE THIS PROJECT BY END OF THIS MONTH.SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO TO COMPLETE THIS PROJECT AND CLOSE OUT THE GRANT. GUY DAVIS COMMUNITY PARK. THE ORIGINAL SCOPE OF WORK INCLUDED THE MULTI-PURPOSE SPORTS FIELD, LINEAR TRAIL, PICNIC AREA, SHADED PAVILION AREAS, MULTI-PURPOSE STAGE AREA, FLEXIBLE CENTRAL LAWN FOR EVENTS, FITNESS TRAIL LOOP WITH EXERCISE EQUIPMENT. PLAYGROUND WITH AQUATIC PLACE FEATURES, CONCESSION RESTROOMS, STORAGE BUILDING, MONUMENT SIGNAGE, PARKING AREA AND LANDSCAPING. IN OCTOBER 2024, THE COMMISSION AMENDED TO SCOPE, AMENDED TO CHANGE THE SCOPE OF THE WORK TO INCLUDE THE SKATE PARK BY RESOLUTION NUMBER 106 DASH 2024 WITH THE VOTE OF THREE TWO. THE CONSULTANT SUBCONTRACTED WITH SPAHN RANCH TO DESIGN THE SKATE PARK, WHICH WAS ABOUT $42,000, AND THE PROJECT WAS DELAYED DUE TO FINALIZING THE SUBCONTRACT AND DESIGNING THE SKATE PARK. 90% DESIGN, INCLUDING THE SKATE PARK, WAS PRESENTED TO THE JOINT BOARD IN JULY 2025. THE PROJECT UPDATE WAS PROVIDED IN NOVEMBER 2025. THE ENGINEER'S ESTIMATE COST FOR THE PROJECT IS ABOUT $9.3 MILLION, AND THE SKATE PARK IS ABOUT $650,000, FOR A TOTAL OF $10 MILLION. AS PART OF THE DESIGN AND PERMITTING PROCESS, THE PROJECT TEAM ALSO HAD TO COORDINATE WITH FPL TO RELOCATE SOME OF THE OVERHEAD UTILITIES TO AVOID ANY CONFLICT WITH THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS. SO THAT TOOK A LITTLE BIT OF TIME. ALSO, WE HAD TO COORDINATE WITH UTILITIES AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS WITH THE WELL FIELD. IN ADDITION TO THE SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT PERMIT, ALL THOSE EFFORTS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. NOW, WE DO ANTICIPATE TO HAVE THE UTILITIES AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT TO REVIEW THE 100% DESIGN BY END OF THIS MONTH, AND WE ANTICIPATE TO GO OUT FOR BID BY NOVEMBER AND START CONSTRUCTION BY EARLY NEXT YEAR WHEN WE DO GO OUT FOR BID. SINCE I'VE MENTIONED TO THE BOARD WE WE ARE COMPLETED WITH THE SKATE PARK DESIGN, SO THE BOARD HAS AN OPTION TO GO OUT FOR BID WITH THE SKATE PARK AND WITH THAT, AND GET A BID WITHOUT THE SKATE PARK. AND I WILL PRESENT THOSE NUMBERS TO THE BOARD. AND THE BOARD CAN GIVE ME DIRECTION AT THAT TIME. HOW WE'RE GOING TO AWARD THE CONTRACT WITH OR WITHOUT THE SKATE PARK. THANK YOU. AND WE DO HAVE OUR CONSULTANT HERE. SO IF THERE ARE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SKATE PARK AND THE DESIGN AND PHASING OF THE PROJECT, HE WILL HE CAN ANSWER THAT QUESTION AT THE END OF THE PRESENTATION. THE NEIGHBORHOOD DRAINAGE AND SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT PROJECT IS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY. WE'RE 60% DESIGN COMPLETED, AND WE'VE APPLIED TO SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT FOR PERMIT.
WE ANTICIPATE TO BEGIN CONSTRUCTION ON THIS PROJECT IN EARLY 2027. WE DID RECEIVE ABOUT $1.4 MILLION OF GRANT FOR THIS PROJECT. SO WE DO HAVE TO STAY ON 1.4 MILLION. WHEN DO YOU EXPECT WE ANTICIPATE TO BEGIN? EARLY 2027 FOR THE BY MARCH. BY MARCH? YEAH. AND THAT THAT PROJECT HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN THE CIP BECAUSE WE DO HAVE A GRANT DEADLINE. WE WE, WE RECEIVED $1.4 MILLION. SO WE ARE BINDED BY THE GRANT DEADLINE. THE SOUTHEAST DIXIE HIGHWAY STREETSCAPE PROJECT IS CURRENTLY IN THE DESIGN PHASE. WE DO HAVE TO COMPLETE THIS PROJECT IN TWO PHASES BECAUSE SOME OF THE WORK THAT WE NEED TO DO IS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY, ALTHOUGH WE'RE GOING TO BE RECEIVING RIGHT OF WAY DEDICATION FROM THESE PROPERTY OWNERS BECAUSE OF THE GRANT THAT WE RECEIVED, THE TAP GRANT THAT WE RECEIVED FOR THIS PROJECT, EVEN THOUGH WE'RE GOING TO RECEIVE, WE'RE GOING TO GET THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE RIGHT OF WAY. WE CAN'T DO ANY WORK ON PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERS, SO IT HAS TO BE COMPLETED IN TWO PHASES. THE FIRST PHASE WILL INCLUDE SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS, CURB AND SOME DRAINAGE. AND THAT PHASE WE HOPE TO GO OUT FOR BID BY BY NOVEMBER OF THIS YEAR AND AND START CONSTRUCTION. THIS CONSTRUCTION SHOULDN'T TAKE TOO LONG, MAYBE A COUPLE OF MONTHS.
[00:35:04]
AND THEN THE LAP GRANT PROJECT, THE LAP FUNDED PROJECT, WHICH WILL INCLUDE ALL THE WORK OF THE ROADWAYS AND SOME OF THE DRAINAGE AND STREETLIGHTS AND LANDSCAPING. THAT PROJECT WILL START EARLY NEXT YEAR. AND AND THAT ONE IS GRANT FUNDED. SO WE HAVE TWO WE HAVE TWO DIFFERENT WE WE'RE CALLING IT NON LAP PROJECT AND LAP PROJECT FOR, FOR THIS. BECAUSE SOME OF THE WORK THAT WE HAVE TO DO IS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY, EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE DEDICATING RIGHT OF WAY, WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE GRANT FUNDING FOR ANY PROPERTY THAT'S EITHER DEDICATED OR NOT IN THE CITY'S RIGHT OF WAY. AND THEN THE ANY PROJECT THAT IS IN THE CITY'S RIGHT OF WAY WILL BE COMPLETED, WILL START EARLY NEXT YEAR AND WILL BE COMPLETED NEXT YEAR. ANOTHER PROJECT THAT WE'RE WORKING ON IS THE FLAGLER PARK PARKING IMPROVEMENTS. WE ARE PLANNING TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS NEAR FLAGLER PARK TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL TEN PUBLIC PARKING SPACES TO SUPPORT ACTIVITIES IN DOWNTOWN, SPECIAL EVENTS TO SUPPORT DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES AND VISITORS. THIS IMPROVEMENT WILL BRING ABOUT, LIKE I SAID, 17 ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES AND IT'S BUDGETED AT $60,000 FOR THE DESIGN AND 260,000 FOR THE DESIGN. MANY NEW SPACES, 17 ADDITIONAL SPACES. YOU SAID TEN, DIDN'T YOU ORIGINALLY, DIDN'T YOU? DID I SAY TEN? SORRY, 17, 17 ADDITIONAL SPACES. YES, $50,000. $60,000 IS FOR THE DESIGN. I'M JUST BUDGET. THIS IS JUST ANTICIPATING NUMBER TO ME 250. I DON'T I USUALLY DON'T HAVE THE ACTUAL NUMBER FOR CONSTRUCTION UNTIL WE HAVE THE DESIGN. AND THEN THE ENGINEER WILL PROVIDE A PROBABLE ESTIMATE COST. BUT THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN UNTIL WE WE START WORKING ON THE DESIGN. SO I, I THIS IS JUST, YOU KNOW, ESTIMATED NUMBER OF $250,000 WHEN WE GO OUT FOR BID. IF THE BID COMES OUT HIGHER, THEN I WILL HAVE TO DO A BUDGET AMENDMENT AT THAT TIME. THE MASTER STREET TREE INFILL PROGRAM FOR THE CITY'S RIGHT OF WAY WAS PRESENTED TO THE CRB AND CRA BOARD. IN JULY. THE BOARD DIRECTED STAFF TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IMPLEMENTATION IN PRIORITY AREAS THAT WILL HAVE THE GREATEST IMPACT. STAFF BEGAN WORKING AND LOOKING AT ZONES NINE AND TEN AND DEVELOPING SITE SPECIFIC INFILL PLANS USING THE THE TREE SPECIES THAT WERE APPROVED FOR THE PROGRAM BY THE BOARD. WE WILL ASSESS EACH PHASE AND THE SITE CONDITIONS, INCLUDING. IF THERE ARE ANY CONFLICTS WITH UTILITY UTILITIES, OVERHEAD UTILITIES, DRAINAGE, STREET LIGHTS, DRAINAGE INFRASTRUCTURE AND AND DETERMINE AVAILABLE SPACE FOR PLANTING. THE PROGRAM WILL BE IMPLEMENTED IN PHASES. WE ANTICIPATE 5 TO 10 YEARS, DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH WE BUDGET EVERY YEAR. FOR FISCAL YEAR 2027, I BUDGETED $100,000 FOR SITE SPECIFIC DESIGN, FOR PHASE FOR ZONES NINE AND TEN, AND THEN $200,000 FOR PLANTING AND IMPLEMENTATION. AGAIN, THOSE NUMBERS ARE JUST COULD BE AMENDED BASED ON HOW FAST WE WANT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS PROGRAM. BUT CURRENTLY, SINCE THIS IS OUR FIRST PHASE, THIS IS WHAT I'M ANTICIPATING. AND AS WE LEARNED FROM THE FIRST PHASE, WE'LL HAVE A BETTER IDEA HOW TO HOW TO DO THE DO THE ADDITIONAL PHASES. THERE'S ANOTHER BUDGET ITEM LINE ITEM FOR COURTESY DOCK IN THE AMOUNT OF $425,000. THIS WAS IN THE BUDGET LAST YEAR, BUT WE DID NOT GO INTO CONSTRUCTION LAST YEAR. SO WE PUT THIS MONEY BACK INTO THE FISCAL YEAR 2027 BUDGET. THIS IS ACTUALLY A PROJECT THAT IS HEADED BY UTILITIES AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT, BUT THE CRA SUPPORTS THIS PROJECT AND WILL BE WILL BE PROVIDING $425,000 IN TIF REVENUE TO TO FUND THE PROJECT. ADDITIONAL FUNDING IS COMING FROM FIND GRANT TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEES AND AND OF COURSE, THE CRA, THE EXISTING DOCKING FACILITY THEY'VE SUFFERED FROM, YOU KNOW, THE STORMS. SO WE ANTICIPATE THAT THE THE NEW DOCK FACILITY WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL 30 BOAT SLIPS. CURRENT CURRENT DOCK HAS 13 BOAT SLIPS. THE NEW DOCK WILL HAVE 30 BOAT SLIPS. AND THIS IS ALREADY GOING INTO CONSTRUCTION. AND WE ANTICIPATE TO COMPLETE THIS BY APRIL 2027. OR IS THIS WHAT YOU JUST WERE TALKING ABOUT? IS THIS THE DOCK OR BECAUSE THERE WAS SOMETHING BUDGETED FOR A WAVE ATTENUATOR AS WELL? RIGHT. THIS IS JUST[00:40:04]
THE DOCK. I THINK THAT WAVE ATTENUATOR WAS REMOVED. IT'S JUST. OKAY. THE DOCK. OKAY. IS THAT YOUR REPORT OR DO YOU HAVE MORE? JUST A SIP THAT WAS INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKAGE. SO YOU SAW THE CIP BACK IN APRIL OF 2026, AND THERE WAS SOME CONFUSION WITH THE THE INCLUSION OF CONFUSION CORNER DESIGN IN THE CIP. INITIALLY, THE BOARD HAD DIRECTED STAFF TO INCLUDE A $400,000 FOR DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION WAS ADDITIONAL $5 MILLION. THAT'S BECAUSE IT WAS A COMPLETE REDESIGN OF THE CONFUSION CORNER INITIALLY, BUT THEN THE DIRECTION FROM THE BOARD CHANGED TO JUST DO SOME SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS AND ENHANCEMENTS TO THE CONFUSION CORNER. SO THAT LINE ITEM WAS REMOVED FROM CIP, AND IT'S JUST IN THE IN THE BUDGET, THE CRA BUDGET FOR $200,000. BECAUSE NOW WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS. SO JUST WANT TO POINT THAT OUT. I KNOW THERE WAS SOME CONFUSION. HOW COME WE HAD IT IN THE CIP AND IT'S NOT THERE ANYMORE BECAUSE IT'S NOT REALLY CONSIDERED CAPITAL PROJECTS IF WE'RE NOT DOING MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS, THESE ARE JUST GOING TO BE MORE ENHANCEMENTS AND SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS TO THE CONFUSION CORNER. AND YOU DO NOTICE THAT WE DO HAVE SOME PROJECTS IN THE FUTURE YEARS. THESE ARE JUST PRELIMINARY NUMBERS AND THIS CAN BE ADJUSTED. TYPICALLY I LIKE TO BRING THE CIP TO THE BOARD IN MARCH OR APRIL, SO YOU CAN LOOK AT ALL THE PROJECTS THAT ARE PLANNED FOR THE FUTURE AND GIVE DIRECTION TO STAFF AS FAR AS HOW WE WANT TO MOVE FORWARD. IF WE WANT TO TAKE ANYTHING OUT OF THE CIP. SO AND THIS HELPS ME WHEN I'M PREPARING MY BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR, WHICH I TYPICALLY START IN MAY OR JUNE OF EVERY YEAR. SO BASED ON THE DIRECTION I GET FROM THE BOARD, I BUDGET ACCORDING TO THAT. SO IF THE BOARD DECIDES THAT WE WANT TO PRIORITIZE SOME OF THE CIP PROJECTS EARLIER OR LATER, I CAN BUDGET ACCORDINGLY. SO THE BOARD DOES HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY EVERY YEAR TO SEE THE CRA, CIP AND PRIORITIZE AND GIVE DIRECTION TO STAFF. AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. AND STAFF IS LOOKING FOR APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NUMBER 05-2026. OKAY. SO THAT WE CAN HAVE IT DISCUSS AND HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT. DID WE HAVE IF WE HAVE A MOTION, WE DID NOT HAVE A MOTION IN THE SECOND. WE JUST WENT STRAIGHT TO HAVING THIS. I HAVE A COUPLE MORE QUESTIONS OF STAFF. OKAY, GOOD. OKAY. GO ON FOR NOW. YOU INDICATED THAT STYPMANN WOULD BEGIN BY MARCH OF 27 AND ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE. TYPICALLY IT'S ABOUT 12 MONTHS. SO EARLY 2028. THE DIXIE HIGHWAY STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENT. ARE WE INCLUDING ANY TRAFFIC CALMING ELEMENTS IN THAT DESIGN? WELL, WE'RE DOING NARROWING THE STREET, RIGHT? WE'RE NARROWING FROM 11FT TO 10FT. SO THAT SHOULD HELP SLOW DOWN THE TRAFFIC. PLUS WE'RE PUTTING PAVER PAVERS, PERVIOUS PAVERS AT INTERSECTIONS TO HAVE DIFFERENT MATERIAL. THAT KIND OF ALSO HELPS WITH THE VISIBILITY AND, AND, YOU KNOW, SLOWING DOWN THE TRAFFIC, STREET LIGHTS, LANDSCAPING, ALL THOSE ADDITIONAL THINGS WILL HELP. IS THERE AN OPPORTUNITY TO PUT TREES ANYWHERE THERE WHICH WE KNOW WE ARE? YEAH, WE'RE GOING ON THE SIDEWALK.WE'LL BE ABLE ON, ON THE, ON THE SIDE WHERE THE PROPERTIES ARE, WE'LL BE ABLE TO DO ROAD SIDE, RIGHT? YES, THAT'D BE GREAT. OKAY, GOOD. THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. AND LET THE RECORD REFLECT THAT. BOARD MEMBER REED OR COMMISSIONER REED CAME IN. HE'S NOT HERE RIGHT NOW. BUT YOU AT THE TIME WHEN HE CAME IN. THANK YOU. SO WE HAVE THIS CRA BUDGET AND THE CIP FOR FISCAL YEAR 2027. CAN I HAVE A MOTION SO THAT WE CAN. I'LL MAKE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF THE SIERRA, A BUDGET AND CIP FOR FISCAL YEAR 2027. SO MOTION BY COMMISSIONER RIDGE. IS THERE
[STAFF UPDATE]
A SECOND? I'LL SECOND IT FOR SOME DISCUSSION. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. AND, MR. MATHESON, YOU HAVE YOUR LIGHT ON AND MISS JOVI'S GOING TO PUT HER LIGHT ON. OKAY. SO, MR. MATHESON, YOU GO FIRST. THANK YOU. YEAH, I, I AGREE WITH THE BUDGET. ONE OF MY TOP PRIORITIES THAT I'D LIKE TO SEE HAPPEN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IS THE ORIGINAL PHASE OF GUY DAVIS PARK THAT I KNOW IT'S BEEN DECADES IN THE MAKING, BUT SECONDLY, AND I'VE SPOKEN TO OUR STAFF ABOUT THIS, ONE OF MY OTHER PRIORITIES IS WORKING WITH OUR ENVIRONMENTAL ATTORNEY AND COMING UP WITH SOLUTIONS[00:45:05]
FOR OUR TRIBUTARIES. AND THE TWO NARROWED DOWN. SHE'S ALREADY APPLIED FOR A GRANT FOR THEM, OUR POPPLETON CREEK AND FRAZIER CREEK. BUT YOU KNOW, THE THE BEST WAY TO PROCEED WITH WHAT I'D LIKE TO SEE IS JUST TO, TO LET EVERYONE KNOW, TO BE AWARE THAT, YOU KNOW, LOCAL CONTRIBUTIONS ELEVATE THE CHANCES OF RECEIVING THESE GRANTS. AND I THINK WE SHOULD CONSIDER THE OPTION THAT BOTH, BOTH TRIBUTARIES WERE APPLIED FOR. AND FRAZIER CREEK IS IN THE CRA. AND SO I AM MORE THAN SUPPORTIVE THAT IF THIS UPCOMING FISCAL YEAR, WE SEE A BUDGET AMENDMENT COME BEFORE US, WHERE WE NEED FUNDING TO TAP INTO TO, YOU KNOW, FURTHER LEVERAGE OUR APPLICATIONS FOR ANY WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS IN FRAZIER CREEK. WE SUPPORT THAT BUDGET AMENDMENT USING CRA FUNDS FOR THAT, I WOULD, YOU KNOW, SUGGEST PANEL WORK WITH RUTH ON THIS ONE. BUT, YOU KNOW, TO ME, IMPROVING FRAZIER CREEK EMBODIES EXACTLY WHAT THE CRA IS FOR. IT WILL CERTAINLY IMPROVE PROPERTY VALUES, YOU KNOW, ALONG THE CREEK, BUT ALSO BRING PEOPLE INTO THE CRA SPECIFICALLY, IF THAT CREEK CAN BE UTILIZED FOR SUCH THINGS AS, YOU KNOW, TOURISM, YOU KNOW, GOING, SAY, FROM SHEPHERD PARK UP THE CREEK TO THE DOCKS, YOU KNOW, NEAR THE COLORADO BRIDGE AND HIGHLIGHTING THAT. SO I'M JUST SAYING, I DON'T RIGHT NOW, I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO AMEND THE BUDGET. BUT I AM MORE THAN SUPPORTIVE IN THE UPCOMING SIX MONTHS OR SO, IF PINOLA AND RUTH COME BACK TO US FOR A RECOMMENDATION OF A BUDGET AMENDMENT WITH A PLAN FOR CRA FUNDS TO HELP LEVERAGE GRANT OPPORTUNITIES IN FRAZIER CREEK THAT WE MOVE FORWARD. BUT EVEN. FURTHERMORE, IT MIGHT BE JUST MANGROVE TRIMMING OR OPENING UP THAT CREEK. SO OTHER THAN THAT, I'M EXCITED TO SEE ALL THE PROJECTS IN THE BUDGET AND I LOOK. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER MATSON, BEFORE COMMISSIONER JOB, I IF MAYBE IF WE CAN GET STAFF TO GIVE US INFORMATION ON THE. THE POTENTIAL FOR USING THE CRA FUNDS FOR THESE MATCHING GRANTS SO THAT WE HAVE MORE INFORMATION ON THAT. AND AT LEAST THE PUBLIC WILL HAVE MORE INFORMATION ON IT. AND SO I THINK THAT THAT WILL BE A GOOD THING TO HAVE. AND THEN FRAZIER CREEK IS THERE IN THE THE DOWNTOWN ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT. AND IN THAT AREA, PUPPETOON CREEK IS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF FEDERAL HIGHWAY. DOES THE CRA DISTRICT. IT STOPS AT AT COLORADO AND US ONE. SO IT DOESN'T GO ON THAT SIDE. YEAH. SO AGAIN, SO MAYBE IF YOU CAN JUST GIVE US INFORMATION ON THE BOUNDARIES AND ON THE POTENTIAL FOR HOW WE CAN, HOW CRA FUNDS CAN BE USED TO MATCH SOME OF THESE ENVIRONMENTAL GRANTS TO ENHANCE THE CRA. SO. PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE MOTION. OKAY. YEAH, I'M GOING TO GO WITH THAT. ANY OTHER COMMISSIONER JOB, UNLESS YOU WANT US TO HAVE THE PUBLIC FIRST OR YOU CAN HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT FIRST. OKAY, THEN LET'S HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEM NUMBER TWO, WHICH IS RESOLUTION NUMBER OH FIVE 2026.ARE THERE DO YOU HAVE ANY GREEN CARDS? YES. RODERICK PETERSON, ROGER PETERSON, RODERICK PETERSON, RODERICK. OH BOY. GOOD EVENING. BOARD AGAIN. 721 SOUTHEAST CENTRAL AVENUE. I JUST WANT TO SPEAK ABOUT THE STATEMENT NEIGHBORHOOD DEALING WITH THE DRAINAGE AND WHERE IT'S HEADED. ARE YOU SAYING MY NEIGHBORHOOD STATEMENT? OKAY. PROJECT NEIGHBORHOOD WITH THE DRAINAGE HERE. OKAY. IS THIS POSSIBLE THAT WE CAN GO BACK TO THE. IT'S RIGHT UP THERE. OKAY.
THE LAST TIME I WAS HERE WAS WELL OVER ABOUT NINE MONTHS AGO, WE SPOKE TO, I THINK HIS NAME WAS JOE KEPPER. JIM. JOE. JOE. OKAY. ENGINES UP HERE SPEAKING. AND AND THERE WAS REDIRECTING THE THE FLOW OF WATER FROM BALBOA, ALMOST THREE QUARTERS OF THIS NEIGHBORHOOD DOWN TO THE MEMORIAL PARK, OVER FROM THE MEMORIAL PARK OVER TO MY VIRGIL WALDEN POND. AND THAT'S GRAVEL FLOW IS GOING TO BE FLUSHING OVER TO CENTRAL AVENUE, WHICH I HAVE A VIDEO OF, WHICH IT FLOODS DOWN IN CENTRAL AVENUE. WE ALL KNOW THAT'S A LOW LYING AREA. YEAH. SO WHEN WE SPOKE ABOUT THIS HERE, HE CAME OUT, HIM AND MILTON CAME OUT. THEY SPOKE ABOUT IT, AND
[00:50:06]
HE ASKED MILTON IF IF HE IS ABLE TO EXCUSE ME, ABLE TO UTILIZE THE PROPERTY NEXT TO THE SALVATION ARMY, WHICH THEY OWN. BUT HE ALSO USING THE PROPERTY BEHIND SALVATION ARMY.I DON'T KNOW IF THEY OWN IT OR Y'ALL BOUGHT IT OR WHATEVER, BUT MOST OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD IS GOING TO BE NOT NATURAL, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE UNNATURAL. SO MORE FLOW, THAT WATER IS COMING DOWN SOUTH INTO THAT NEIGHBORHOOD IS GOING TO FLOOD EVERYBODY OUT DOWN DOWNSTREAM.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY, IF YOU GOT WITH YOU, IS THIS A EXISTING PLAN NOW OR. YEAH.
WELL, WE SAID WE'RE WORKING TOWARDS 60% DESIGN. I HAVEN'T SEEN THE 60% DESIGN. SO IS IT POSSIBLE I CAN CONTACT YOU AND WE CAN COORDINATE WITH CAPTAIN? YEAH. SEE HOW THAT I HAVEN'T SAID ANYTHING, RIGHT. YEAH. BECAUSE I KNOW IT. I MEAN, I GOT DOCUMENTATION STATED I MEAN, IT'S UP TO MY KNEES AND MR. LEONARD JUST FLOODS OUT AND IT BACKS UP IN OUR AREA OVER THERE.
SO BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IS THERE GOING TO BE A CHANGE OF DIRECTION OF THAT FLOW OF WATER? BECAUSE, I MEAN, IT MAKES SENSE THAT YOU HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE THERE, BUT YOU'VE GOT TWO BIG PONDS FLOWING SOUTH INTO A SMALLER POND OFF OF CENTRAL AVENUE AND EAST AVENUE. SO THAT REALLY DON'T MAKE SENSE. SO YEAH, THIS MAKES SENSE TO FLOOD US OUT.
BUT NO, BUT IF ANY, OBVIOUSLY IF YOU MET WITH IF YOU MET WITH JOE AND, AND MILTON ON SITE, IT'S DEFINITELY BEEN CONSIDERED. YEAH, I KNOW, I'LL JUST, I'LL JUST JUST WANT TO JUST GET SOME MORE ENLIGHTENMENT. HAVE ANYTHING BEEN CHANGED? IF I CAN COORDINATE WITH YOU AFTER THE MEETING, I'LL COORDINATE WITH YOU AFTER THE MEETING. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. PETERSON. CLERK. NO OTHER COMMENTS. I HAVE NO FURTHER COMMENTS. ARE THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS ON ITEM NUMBER WITH THE BUDGET AND WITH THE CIP FOR FISCAL YEAR 2027. DO WE NEED TO HEAR FROM OUR CONSULTANT? JUST GIVE US YOUR NAME AGAIN AND LET US HEAR WHAT YOU'RE DOING. SURE. MY NAME IS MIKE CONNOR. I'M THE DIRECTOR OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE FOR CALVIN GIORDANO AND ASSOCIATES, AND WE'RE BASED OUT OF WEST PALM BEACH. THANK YOU. AND FOR MR. GIORDANO AND OTHERS. I KNOW THAT WE'VE BROUGHT THIS UP BEFORE, BUT I KNOW THAT WITH THE WHOLE THE CIP AND WHICH INCLUDES THE. THE GUIDE. COULD YOU GO BACK TO THE GUY DAVIS PARK AND ALL THE ELEMENTS IN THE GUY DAVIS COMMUNITY PARK AND WHAT'S YOUR WHAT'S OUR TIMELINE FOR THAT? AGAIN, FOR THE PUBLIC? WE ARE WE'RE FINISHING UP THE 100% PLANS OR SUBMITTING THOSE SO THAT THEY CAN BE REVIEWED BY YOUR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT AND YOUR BUILDING DEPARTMENT AS A COURTESY. DRY RUN REVIEW. AND AT THE SAME TIME, STAFF WILL BE REVIEWING THE PLANS AND THEN ANY. ANY COMMENTS WILL BE INCORPORATED INTO THE PLANS AND THE BID SET. SO WE WE START WORKING WITH CITY STAFF TO GET THE PARK PROJECT CONSTRUCTION OUT TO BID IN LIKE OCTOBER OR NOVEMBER. AND ONCE IT'S AWARDED, IT WOULD PROBABLY START CONSTRUCTION AT THE BEGINNING OF NEXT YEAR. THANK YOU. AND MISS GRUNDY, COULD YOU PLEASE REPEAT AGAIN THE PROPOSAL, AN IDEA THAT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED WITH REGARD TO HOW TO FACILITATE HAVING THE SKATE PARK AS A PHASE AND TO KEEP IT IN THE PLAN, BUT NOT NECESSARILY HAVE IT AS A PART OF THE THE BEGINNING CONSTRUCTION OF GUY DAVIS PARK.
COULD YOU GO OVER THAT AGAIN SO THAT THE PUBLIC KNOWS? SO THE WAY THEY'VE DESIGNED IT IS WITH THE SKATE PARK RIGHT NOW. SO THEY'RE ALSO THE CONSULTANT IS ALSO GOING TO PROVIDE A PLAN WITHOUT THE SKATE PARK. SO WE'RE GOING TO GO OUT FOR BID WITH TWO SET OF PLANS, ONE WITH THE SKATE PARK AND ONE WITHOUT THE SKATE PARK. AND IT'D BE IT WOULD BE CALLED BID BID ALTERNATE WITHOUT THE SKATE PARK. AND THEN ONCE WE GET THE BID, WE WILL PROPOSE THE THE BREAKDOWN OF THE COST AND THE BOARD AT THAT TIME COULD DECIDE WHETHER THEY WANT TO CONTINUE WITH THE SKATE PARK. AS YOU KNOW, OVERALL PARK IMPROVEMENTS AND AWARD THE CONTRACT WITH SKATE PARK OR JUST REMOVE IT COMPLETELY AND DESIGN IT LATER ON. JUST WANT TO ALSO BE TRANSPARENT THAT IF IF IT IS PHASED OUT, THEN IT WILL COST ADDITIONAL BECAUSE NOW WE HAVE TO GO OUT FOR A MOBILIZATION AGAIN. AND THERE'S ALSO, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE COSTS FOR MATERIALS IS LESS LIKE CONCRETE. SOME OF THE MATERIAL IS LESS BECAUSE WE'RE DOING THE OVERALL PARK IMPROVEMENTS. SO EVEN THOUGH WE'RE SAYING IT'S $700,000 RIGHT NOW, WHEN YOU DO
[00:55:03]
IT AS A STANDALONE, THE COST COULD BE HIGHER. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. AND SO WHEN CAN RESIDENTS OF THE CITY OF STUART PLAY ON THE NEW PARK? WHEN WE'LL HAVE OUR RIBBON CUTTING.IT TAKES 18 MONTHS ONCE WE START CONSTRUCTION. SO IF WE START EARLY NEXT YEAR, SO 18 MONTHS FROM THEN. SO IT COULD BE EARLY 2029. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER COMMENTS, COMMISSIONER JOB, WAS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? NO. TWO THINGS. ONE, I JUST WANT TO NOTE THAT IN THE AGENDA FOR THE CRA, IT TALKS OF A FIVE YEAR PLAN FOR RESOLUTION OH FIVE, 2026. WHEN YOU GO TO THE COMMISSION MEETING, THE. THE SAME. TIME FRAME SAYS THREE YEAR PLAN FOR A BUDGET. SO I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE'S CORRECT. SO BEFORE WE APPROVE THIS ONE, SHOULD WE DETERMINE WHETHER THERE WAS JUST A TYPO IN THE ONE FOR THE NEXT COMMISSION FOR THE COMMISSION MEETING COMING UP, ANTHONY, SPEAK ON THE GENERAL BUDGET. MR. COLON HI, ANTHONY COOLING THANK YOU. SO WE DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH DATA FOR YEARS FOUR AND YEAR FIVE FOR SOME OF THE OTHER FUNDS, SANITATION, STORMWATER TO DEVELOP A CIP PLAN FOR THE ENTIRE BUDGET. BUT WE HAD. DUE TO THE PLANS THAT PANEL AND THE CRA HAS, HAS DONE, WE HAD ENOUGH DATA FOR THEM TO DO A FIVE YEAR PLAN FOR FOR, YOU KNOW, THE CRA BUDGET FOR HERE TONIGHT. BUT WE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH DATA TO PUT IT HOLISTICALLY TOGETHER FOR THE BIG CIP PLAN FOR THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS. SO WE JUST BROKE IT OUT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, BECAUSE WE JUST HAVE THAT REFLECTED IN THE RECORD, THE REASON FOR THE DIFFERENCE. THANK YOU. REGARDING THE GUY DAVIS SKATE PARK, JUST BEAR WITH ME. SOME RESIDENTS HAVE SOME CONCERNS SINCE THERE IS TALK OF NOT INCLUDING THE SKATE PARK. SO ONE RESIDENT POSED THE QUESTION WAS THAT THAT ORIGINAL PARK DID NOT INCLUDE 14TH STREET. AND ONCE THE GUY DAVIS PARK. ONCE THE SKATE PARK WAS PUT INTO PLAY, IT WAS GOING TO BE BUILT ON THE CORNER OF 14TH STREET. SO THE QUESTION IS, IF WE DON'T DO THE SKATE PARK, THEN WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO 14TH STREET THAT THAT CORNER OF 14TH STREET THAT WAS ORIGINALLY NOW SCHEDULED FOR THE SKATE PARK, WILL IT GO BACK TO BEING NOT DEVELOPED OR THERE'S CERTAINLY NOTHING IN THE PLANS, BUT THEN EXPAND THE PARK TO INCLUDE THAT PIECE, THAT PARCEL OF LAND. SO ORIGINALLY IT WAS JUST GOING TO BE A PICNIC AREA WITH PAVILIONS, AND THEN IT WAS CHANGED TO SKATE PARK. I THINK IF THE DIRECTION IS NOT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE SKATE PARK, WE'LL JUST WE'LL JUST SAW THE AREA AND MAKE SURE SOME OF THE DRAINAGE AND THINGS ARE ADDRESSED AS AS A PHASED PROJECT, AND I'LL LET THE CONSULTANT SPEAK FURTHER. I BELIEVE THAT AREA IS ALWAYS PART OF THE PARK PROJECT LIMITS, SO IT WAS ALWAYS PLANNED TO BE A PART OF THE PARK AND THE IMPROVEMENTS. IT'S JUST A KIND OF CHANGE FROM AN EMPHASIS ON PICNIC TYPE OF AREA TO THE SKATE PARK WAS THE EASIEST SPOT TO FIND TO, TO, TO PLACE THE SKATE PARK AT THAT TIME. WELL, THANK YOU BECAUSE I JUST WANTED TO ADDRESS HER CONCERNS. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? AND THE BOARD MEMBERS, WE'VE HAD OUR PUBLIC COMMENT. WE'VE HAD OUR BOARD MEMBER COMMENT. AND WE HAVE SUBMITTED INTO THE RECORD THE NOTES FROM MR. CODY JOHNSON. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND MOTION BY COMMISSIONER RICH AND SECOND BY COMMISSIONER MATHESON. OKAY. MADAM CLERK, WOULD YOU PLEASE CALL THE ROLL BOARD MEMBER? RICH. YES. BOARD MEMBER. DEBORAH. YES. CHAIR. CLARK. YES.
BOARD MEMBER. MATHESON. YES. BOARD MEMBER. JOB. YES. CAN I CALL EVERYBODY? THAT'S IT. THE COMMISSIONER, COMMISSIONER REED IS HERE, BUT HE HAS LEFT THE ROOM. BUT WE STILL HAVE A QUORUM, AND WE'RE. WE'RE CALLING THE ROLL. YES, YES. TO BEGIN WITH. THANK YOU. SO THAT'S IT? WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO CALL HIS NAME JUST FOR THE RECORD? YEAH. BECAUSE HE'S.
YEAH, HE WAS HERE. COMMISSIONER REED. HE'S IN THE BACK, SO I'M SURE. THANK YOU. SO WE HAVE YOU HAVE A YOU HAVE A YOU HAVE EVERYBODY HAS HAS RESPONDED TO THE RECORD. THANK YOU. AND THAT THAT THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THERE'S NO STAFF UPDATE. NO NOT AT THIS
