[00:10:02]

COMMENTS. >> THANK YOU COMMISSIONER ROSS FOR AGREEING TO MAKE THIS VERY IMPORTANT PROCLAMATION TODAY. MY NAME IS JORDAN MORRIS. I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE FERNANDINA BEACH DRIVE. THERE ARE SOME DRAMA REGARDING THE THIRD READING OF THIS PROCLAMATION SO I WANT TO TELL YOU WHY WE ARE HERE TODAY. NOVEMBER IS AWARENESS MONTH IN THE TRANSGENDER COMMUNITY IS UNDER ATTACK. ESPECIALLY HERE IN FLORIDA WHERE THERE IS LEGISLATION THAT PREVENTS THEM FROM OVER PARTICIPATION.

TRANSGENDER PEOPLE EXIST EVERYWHERE INCLUDING HEARING FERNANDINA BEACH.

BOTH INDICATE THAT 1% TOTAL POPULATION IDENTIFIES AS TRANSGENDER.

THINK ABOUT THAT 1%. 1% OF THE POPULATION IS 3 TO 400 TAXPAYERS.

3 TO 400 VOTERS. BASICALLY A MEDIUM-SIZED NEIGHBORHOOD FULL OF PEOPLE WHO ARE ALSO BROTHERS, SISTERS, SONS, DAUGHTERS AND ACTIVE CONTRIBUTORS TO SOCIETY.

IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT THEY ALSO TEND TO BE MURDERED AT A MUCH HIGHER RATE THAN THE GENERAL POPULATION MANY OF THESE MURDERS SHOW THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE.

WE ARE HOLDING OUR THIRD ANNUAL TRANSGENDER TALK AT BURNS HALL CHURCH.

THE DAYS RECOGNIZING AROUND THE WORLD CHILDREN ARE THOSE THAT HAVE LOST.

ALSO THIS YEAR WE WILL HOST A PANEL OF MEMBERS OF THE TRANSGENDER COMMUNITY FOR AN OPEN DISCUSSION ON TRANSGENDER ISSUES.F YOU DON'T KNOW A TRANS PERSON AND ALL YOU THINK ABOUT WHEN YOU HEAR THE WORDS TRANSGENDER IS BATHROOMS OR GIRLS SPORTS BECAUSE YOU'VE HEARD THESE WORDS BEFORE AND YOU HAVEN'T EVEN BEGUN TO UNDERSTAND THE REALITY OF THE TRANSGENDER EXPERIENCE. YOU CAN OPENLY ASK QUESTIONS AND LISTEN TO THEIR EXPERIENCE.

I BELIEVE EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THIS ROOM INCLUDING MYSELF PERSONALLY BENEFIT TO LISTEN AND LEARN OF THE OPEN MIND AND HEART. IT'S FREE AND OPEN TO MANY AGES. FERNANDINA BEACH IS PROUD TO PARTNER WITH THESE LOCAL CHURCHES TO LOVE AND UNDERSTAND AMONG THEM FRUIT ONE OF GOD'S CHILDREN.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COURAGE. >> I WANTED TO SAY THIS WHILE EVERYONE WAS HERE. I WANT TO THANK FERNANDINA BEACH PRIDE.

I THINK YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL ORGANIZATION AND I THINK YOU DO A LOT OF GOOD IN THE COMMUNITY BUT I WILL NOT SUPPORT THIS PROCLAMATION. I BELIEVE THAT THIS PROCLAMATION IS A LIGHTER VERSION OF A POLITICAL AGENDA. I BELIEVE THAT THIS PROCLAMATION SILENCES OUT OF FEAR AND PART OF THE COMMUNITY WHO'S GOING TO BE LABELED TRANS

THE SERVICE THAT WE ARE PROVIDING TO YOUR CITY. BRIEFLY WE TALK ABOUT WMO OVERVIEW.I WILL TALK ABOUT SOME FACTS PER SERVING OUR COMPANY WHICH IS WM INCORPORATED. WE TALK ABOUT THE CURRENT COLLECTION SERVICES ON ABOUT THE RATE ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE SERVICES. I ALWAYS WANT TO TAKE AN

[00:25:10]

MANY OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH LANDFILLS. HERE WASTE IS TAKEN FROM HERE AND DEPOSITED ONE OF OUR LANDFILLS IN GEORGIA. WE ARE BUILDING THESE FACILITIES NEXT TO OUR LANDFILLS THAT EXTRACT THE METHANE GAS SO METHANE IS PRODUCED WHEN GARBAGE DEGRADES AND PRODUCES METHANE GAS. WE SCRUB IT AND CLEAN IT AND IT BECOMES REUSABLE NATURAL GAS THAT YOU CAN USE ON YOUR STOVE TO COOK EGGS OR YOU CAN PRODUCE ELECTRICITY THAT FUELS A MUNICIPALITY OR VEHICLES. ANOTHER THING THAT WE EMPHASIZES THE MATERIAL RECOVERY FACILITIES. THEY USE AIR TO SEPARATE THE MATERIALS BECAUSE THE BETTER YOU CAN SEPARATE MATERIALS OF EARNED VALUE THERE IS.

THE MORE VALUE THERE IS IN ONLY INSPIRES PEOPLE AT A GREATER LEVEL TO CONTINUE TO RECYCLE WHICH IS TO THE WMS PRICING FOR IN THE FUTURE. WE ALSO GIVE AWAY ABOUT $14 MILLION IN CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS. WE PROVIDE FREE SERVICES AT THE FESTIVAL. WE HAVE OTHER FESTIVALS AND EVENTS THAT WE WILL DO GOING FORWARD. ALSO THE FERNANDINA BEACH BABE RUTH BASEBALL THAT ARE NOT THAT INDIVIDUAL IS HERE TONIGHT. WE PUT IN OUR BUDGET FOR THEM FOR NEXT YEAR AS WELL AS THE COUNCIL ON AGING. AND FINALLY SOME OF THE AWARDS THAT WE'VE RECEIVED OVER THE YEARS. WMS INNOVATING FOR TOMORROW. WILL YOUR SELLING THE SERVICES.

WE WANT TO PROVIDE THAT TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY WITHOUT MAKING MISTAKES.

WE WANT TO CORRECT THOSE MISTAKES IN A TIMELY FASHION. WE ARE THE LARGEST SUSTAINABILITY COMPANY IN NORTH AMERICA. EMPTY.

WE HAVE A SERVICE SAYING THAT SERVICES FIRST BUT SAFETY NEXT. WE WANT TO PROVIDE SAFETY FOR EMPLOYEES AS WELL AS CUSTOMERS THAT WE ARE SERVING WE SET A STANDARD HIGH SO THAT WHEN WE SLIP A LITTLE BIT WE ARE WELL ABOVE THE ACCEPTABLE STANDARDS. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS.

OUR EMPLOYEES ARE THE ONES THAT PROVIDE THE SERVICE SO WE PROVIDE EXCELLENT HEALTHCARE BENEFITS FOR 401(K) AIR, PAY COLLEGE TUITION AND GREAT POLICIES.

ONE AREA THAT WE PROMOTE IN OUR INDUSTRY IS A MALE DOMINANCE DOMINATED DRIVEN TRUCKS.

WE ARE MOVING TO HAVING MORE WOMEN THAT OPERATES ASL SO THAT'S ONE AREA THAT WE ARE TRYING TO INCREASE OUR ROSTER WITH WOMEN. WE ARE VETERAN FRIENDLY AND HAVE A DEPARTMENT THAT'S DEDICATED TO TIME TO TO FIND VETERANS THAT WE CAN HIRE TO BE A PART OF OUR COMPANY. THAT'S JUST AN OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY THAT SERVICES THE CITY OF FERNANDINA BEACH. WE HAVE ONE TIMELY COLLECTION OF RECYCLING AND TWICE A WEEK

[00:30:05]

THAT'S A LOT OF SERVICES THAT WE ARE RENDERING PURE RESIDENTS OVER THE YEARS.

WHEN YOU GO FROM TWICE A WEEK TO ONE TIME A WEEK YOU PROBABLY DO SO SERVICES BY ABOUT 100,000 SO YOU WILL BE JUST THAT A MILLION SERVICES RENDERED ANNUALLY.

WHEN YOU DO THE MATH THE COMPLAINT RATIO IS WELL UNDER 1% OF ITS POINT 0042.

99% OF THE TIME WE ARE DOING OUR JOB EFFECTIVELY. THOSE SERVICES THAT YOU'RE CURRENTLY GETTING TWICE A WEEK GARBAGE PICKUP AND ONCE A WEEK GARBAGE PICKUP ONCE A WEEK BULK PICKUP YOUR CURRENT ROUTE IS $21.18 MONTHLY PER RESIDENT. IF YOU LIVE THE NASSAU COUNTY THEY HAVE WHAT'S CALLED SUBSUMPTION SERVICES. RIGHT NOW YOU'RE ALMOST A $50 JUST FOR ONE TIME A WEEK TRUST COLLECTION ANOTHER WEEK RECYCLING.

IF YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE A VOLCANO THAT'S GONNA COST YOU AN ADDITIONAL $25 SO NOW YOU'RE UP TO $75 AS COMPARED TO $21.19 YOUR RESIDENTS ARE PAYING FOR THOSE SERVICES.THE NEW RATE IS GOING UP TO $27 AND 60 ATTEMPT IN YOUR DECREASING YOUR SERVICES AND SO PEOPLE WILL SAY WHY IS THAT? WE'VE HAD TO INCREASE LABOR, FUEL AND MANY OTHER THINGS THAT HAVE INCREASED SOCIETY. AS FOR THE COMMISSION ALSO IF YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT COULD BE PUSHED BACK YOU DID PUT THIS UP FOR RFP. YOU HAD THREE VENDORS AND WE ENDED UP SCORING THE HIGHEST AND WE HAVE THE LOWEST PRICE. WE REALLY ARE GETTING THE BEST VALUE IN THE BEST COMPANY FOR YOUR SERVICE. IN 2021 YOUR MONTHLY TONS BETWEEN YOUR MSW AND RECYCLING WAS JUST OVER 7000 FOR THE YEAR.

PEOPLE WERE ON LOCK DOWN MODE AND NOT GETTING OUT THEY WERE IN THEIR HOUSE MORE SO WE DID SEE AN UPTICK IN THE AMOUNT OF TONNAGE FOR THE RESIDENTIAL UNITS.

2022 WE WENT FROM 7000 BASICALLY DOWN TO 6500. IN 2023 TRENDING TOWARDS 11,000 TO 200 SO NOW YOU SEE AN INCREASE. A TUMOR ACTIVITY WITH AIR BMPS AND RESIDENTIAL UNIT COUNT HAS GONE UP 2021. NEW CONTRACT START JANUARY 15, 2024 WE GO FROM TWICE A WEEK GARBAGE COLLECTION TO ONCE A WEEK.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE COMMUNICATING WITH THE RESIDENTS THAT THEY KNOW THAT THE CHANGES COMING.THIS IS A QUOTE FROM MY WIFE. WITHOUT COMMUNICATION THERE IS ONLY IMAGINATIONS WE WENT OVER COMMUNICATES ANYONE HAS ANY ACTION ABOUT WHAT DAY THERE GARBAGE COLLECTION IS GOING TO BE PICKED UP. WITH THAT I WILL TURN IT OVER TO AMY BOYCE. QUICK SIGN THE COMMUNITY AFFAIRS MANAGER.

AMENDED BRIEFLY WALK YOU THROUGH THE COMMUNICATION WE ARE DOING BETWEEN NOW AND JANUARY 15. THE FIRST THING WILL BE A POSTCARD WHICH SHOULD HIT MAILBOXES NEXT WEEK TO INFORM RESIDENTS THAT A CHANGE IS COMING .

[00:35:03]

WE CREATED A FEW SOCIAL SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS. THE FIRST ONE IS SIMPLY YOU'VE GOT MAIL TO WRITE LET RESIDENTS KNOW THAT A PIECE OF COMMUNICATION IS COMING SOMETIME NEXT WEEK. WE WILL DO ANOTHER ONE AT THE END OF DECEMBER TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THE FIRST SURE WILL BE ATTACHED TO THEIR CART AND WE WILL DO ONE MORE BEFORE JANUARY 15 TO ADVISE HIM THAT THERE NEW SERVICE DAY WILL BEGIN.

WE'VE CREATED A DEDICATED WEBSITE AND WE WILL BE ADDING THESE COMMUNICATION PIECES ON THERE AS WELL. WE WILL ALSO DO A COMMERCIAL MAILER BECAUSE WE ARE ASSUMING BILLING RESPONSIBILITIES TO COMMERCIAL CUSTOMERS SO WE WILL SEND A LETTER LETTING THEM THEM THAT THE CHANGES TAKING PLACE ENCOURAGING THEM TO CREATE AN ACCOUNT, MY WMA THEY CAN HAVE ACCESS TO THE ACCOUNT INFORMATION AND SIGN ON PAPERLESS BUILDING AND INVOICING. FINALLY, WE HAVE A SNEAK PEAK. WE CREATED A VIDEO WHICH WILL

>> ANY QUESTIONS OF THE WASTE MANAGEMENT TEAM? >> GRECO DO HAVE ONE QUESTION.

SHE MENTIONED THE COMMERCIAL SIDE. ARE THEY GOING TO HAVE TO START AN ACCOUNT? I KNOW AS A COMMERCIAL CUSTOMER MYSELF IT'S JUST WRAPPED INTO

MY GARBAGE BILL. >> WHEN YOU SAY START AN ACCOUNT? CLICK SOMETHING SPECIFICALLY IT SOUNDED LIKE WHEN YOU PUT THAT PRESENTATION ON THAT COMMERCIAL

CUSTOMERS WILL HAVE TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT. >> NO, THEY WILL START RECEIVING A BILL FROM US VERSUS THE CITY. QUICK SO IT COULD BE TAKEN OUT OF THE WATER BILL LIKE IT CURRENTLY IS? PARKS IF THAT'S THE CASE WHICH IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS AN ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THAT WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE CLEAR AND COMMUNICATING THAT TO THE CUSTOMERS. A CLEAR WORKING ON THE

COMMUNICATION PIECE RIGHT NOW. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE WASTE MANAGEMENT TEAM?

I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR JOINING US TONIGHT AS ALWAYS. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH WE APPRECIATED. QUICK MOVING RIGHT ALONG ITEM 5 IS THE CONSENT AGENDA.

WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO PULL SOMETHING OFF OF THE CONSENT AGENDA?

>> UNCRITICAL TWO THINGS OFF BECAUSE WE HAVE A REQUEST. AS ALWAYS YOU ARE WELCOME TO HAVE A PUBLIC COMMENT. IF YOU WISH TO PUBLIC COMMENT ON ANYTHING ON THE AGENDA OR OFF YOU JUST HAVE TO FILL OUT A FORM IN THE BACK AND TURN IT INTO THE CITY CLERK.

WE WILL ADD YOU TO OUR ROSTER OF SPEAKERS TONIGHT. YOU CAN SPEAK ON ANYTHING ON THE AGENDA THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS IS THE CONSENT AGENDA.

EXAMPLE INTO THINGS OFF THE CONSENT AGENDA BECAUSE THEIR REQUESTS TO SPEAK ABOUT IT.

5.6 AND 5.3. >> I'M PULLING OFF 5.1 THROUGH 5.10 AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS THE CONSENT AGENDA IS FOR ROUTINE MATTERS NOT NEEDING AN EXPLANATION THAT ARE PUBLICLY DISCUSSED AND AGREED UPON. MATTERS SUCH AS MINUTES, CONFIRMATIONS OF DECISIONS, CHIEF EXECUTIVE REPORTS AND INFORMATION WITH UPDATED ORGANIZATION DOCUMENTS AND

[00:40:05]

>> ALRIGHT SO THEY'RE NO LONGER IS A CONSENT AGENDA. IT WILL GO AHEAD AND MOVE OUT TO THE REGULAR AGENDA THE ENTIRE THING. IT JUST IN CASE YOU ARE IN THE PUBLIC AND ARE AWARE OF HOW THIS NORMALLY WOULD WORK. THE CONSENT AGENDA IS ATTENDED FOR THE ITEMS THAT GO FIVE AND ZERO. IN THIS CASE WE WILL DISCUSS EVERY ITEM. IT JUST TAKES ONE PERSON TO PULL SOMETHING OFF THE CONSENT

[5.1 BUDGET AMENDMENTS - VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS]

DEPARTMENTS. >> 'S FEES ARE CLEANUP AMENDMENTS FROM THE PRIOR FISCAL YEAR. ITEMS A, B AND C ARE INCLUDED IN THE PACKET AND ITEM A IS AN ITEM THAT IS ABOVE THE 25,000 THRESHOLD. ITEMS B AND C ARE SMALLER ITEMS WITH LESS THAN $10,000 BUT EXCEEDS THE LINE ITEM THRESHOLDS OF THOSE TWO PARTICULARITEMS . OUR COMPTROLLER IS HERE IF YOU'D LIKE TO GO INTO ANY

DETAIL ON THAT THIS EVENING. >> ANY QUESTIONS? >> I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS IN A

COMMENT. >> THIS IS THE TRANSFER OF $34,000 AND SAYS THE EXPENSE WAS HIGHER THAN ANTICIPATED. YOU NEED TO ARTICULATE WHAT THOSE EXPENSES WERE AND HOW

MUCH MONEY IS CURRENTLY IN THE RESERVE FUND FOR THE CRA. >> IT HAD TO DO WITH

FERNANDINA MARINA SALUTATION. A STUDY THAT WAS DONE. >> IF YOU RECALL WE GET THE STUDY LAST YEAR TO TRY TO DETERMINE IF THEIR OPTIONS USE TO MINIMIZE THE CUT DOWN ON SOME OF THE DREDGING. THAT COST WAS FOR APPLIED TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT FIRM THAT DID THIS.IT'S HIGHER THAN WE ANTICIPATED. WE COVER THOSE COSTS FROM THAT

INVOICE. >> THE CURRENT LIMIT AS POINTED OUT IS $25,000 FOR TRANSFERS IN THE BUDGET. THESE ROUTINELY PUT ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.HAT HAPPENS IS THEY SET THEIR AND WE PASSED THEM AND IF THEY ARE NOT DEBATED OR TALKED ABOUT AND SO ON. PROBLEM WITH THAT IS THAT IT CREATES A 3 TO 6 WEEK DELAY AND MAKE THINGS HAPPEN. WHAT THE COUNTY RECENTLY HAS DONE IS INCREASED CEREMONIAL $200,000. AND THEN THEY GIVE THOUGHT AUTHORITY TO THE CITY MANAGER I THINK IN THE FUTURE INSTEAD OF DISCUSSING THESE MATTERS IS $4000 AND THE OTHER ONE IS 13.

IT'S LESS THAN $2000. INSTEAD OF PUTTING THAT IN THE CONSENT AGENDA AND CAUSING WHERE TO SIX WEEKS OF DELAY IN THESE THINGS BEING DONE AND SLOWING DOWN THE GOVERNMENT MAKING IT MORE EFFICIENT. WE CAN COME BACK AND DISCUSS INCREASING THE LIMIT OF

TRANSFERS. >> I WOULD SAY PUT THAT IN A WORKSHOP.

[00:45:07]

BUT THE DISCUSSION WE SHOULD HAVE IN A WORKSHOP. >> THAT IS FINE.

>> DID WE NOT JUST DO THAT? DID WE NOT JUST RAISE IT? >> NOT TO THAT LEVEL.

>> SEE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT RAISING IT MORE? >> BECAUSE WE ROUTINELY PUT THE SUMMONS CONSENT AGENDA AND IT TAKES 4 TO 6 WEEKS. THERE IS NO DISCUSSION IF WE SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT IT SHOULD BE ON THE AGENDA NOT ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.

IF WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT IT THAN WHAT WE GIVE THE AUTHORITY TO THE CITY MANAGER ALONG WITH THE COMPTROLLER. IT'S NOT JUST THE CITY MANAGER. I'M JUST INCREASING THE RATE SO THESE DON'T END UP ON THE CONSENT AGENDA EVERY MONTH AND THEY DON'T GET 4 TO 6 WEEKS TO

THE PROCESS OF DOING BUSINESS. >> I APPRECIATE THE PARTS ABOUT US.ARE THERE ANY MORE

QUESTIONS ABOUT THESE BUDGET AMENDMENTS? >> I WILL MOVE TO APPROVE.

>> WE HAVE A MOTION. >> SECOND. >> JUST TO CLARIFY HAVING A REQUEST TO SPEAK ON THIS. ANY DISCUSSION OR DEBATE ABOUT THIS BUDGET AMENDMENT? SEEING NONE PLEASE CALL HER ALL.

AND ZERO. WE HAVE A FUTURE WORKSHOP ITEM TO DISCUSS THANK YOU.

[5.2 BUDGET AMENDMENT - GOLF COURSE]

ITEM 5.2 IS THE BUDGET LIMIT FOR THE GOLF COURSE. >> THERE ARE TWO CHANGES TO THE FEE SCHEDULE WITH THE GOLF COURSE. FIRST WE HAVE A TOP TRACER AS AN ALL-INCLUSIVE IN THE MEMBERSHIP CATEGORY. THAT WAS WRITTEN INCORRECTLY BEFORE.WE ALSO ELIMINATED A NONMEMBER CART ONLY FEE BECAUSE WE DON'T CHARGE HER CART FOR NONMEMBERS. IT'S ALWAYS A GREEN SPACE AND A CAR PFEE.

>> ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS PRESENTATION? >> I THOUGHT THIS WAS A BUDGET

AMENDMENT TO TRANSFER FUNDS. >> I'M SORRY YOU ARE CORRECT. COMMISSIONER ROSS THIS IS AUTHORIZING THE TRANSFER WITHIN THE GOLF COURSE BUDGET ITSELF TO ACCOMMODATE THE SALARY AND BENEFITS OF AN EXECUTIVE CHEF. THIS IS A CLEANUP OF THE PREVIOUS YEAR'S BUDGET.

IT WAS AN OVERSIGHT AND SUBMITTED AS A FULL-TIME POSITION AS A PART-TIME POSITION. THIS NOW MAKES IT A FULL-TIME POSITION AND THE MONEY IN THIS

BUDGET AMENDMENT COVERS US CHANGE. >> ANY QUESTIONS?

>> THIS WAS A PART-TIME POSITION AND WE HAD BUDGETED FOR IT LAST YEAR?

OR NOT BUDGET FOR LAST YEAR? >> WE BUDGETED FOR THE PART-TIME POSITION.

>> WHAT HAPPENED IS DURING MIDYEAR THE GOLF COURSE NEEDED AN EXECUTIVE CHEF SO HE BROUGHT ONE ON KNOWING THAT WE WERE GOING HAVE TO DO PART OF THE SALARY IN LAST YEAR'S BUDGET AND THEN CARRYOVER TO CLEAN IT UP IN THIS YEAR AND IT WAS JUST MESSED IN THE BUDGET FOR THIS COMING YEAR. THAT'S MY FAULT SO WERE JUST TRYING TO CLEAN THAT UP SO HE

IS FULL-TIME WITH HIS BENEFITS. >> I MOVED TO APPROVE. >> SECOND.

>> I HAVE NO REQUESTS TO SPEAK WITH EMOTION AND A SECOND. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION OR

DEBATE ABOUT THIS? >> THE ONLY THING I WOULD LIKE TO ADD IS WE HAVE TWO ENTERPRISE FUNDS THAT HAVE GREAT MANAGEMENT TEAMS AND I WOULD LIKE TO BRING UP ONCE AGAIN THAT I THINK INSTEAD OF BRINGING ME TO THE COMMISSION EVERY TIME THEY WANT TO RAISE THE RATE OR LOWER THE RATE OR MOVE MONEY AROUND THAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE RUN LIKE A BUSINESS. AGAIN IT'S 4 TO 6 WEEKS IN THE PROCESS AND THEY SHOULD HAVE AUTHORITY TO DO THAT. IT'S A SUBJECT FOR ANOTHER WORKSHOP.

I THINK THAT WE HIRE COMPETENT JUDGMENT TEAMS TO RUN THESE TWO ENTERPRISE FUNDS BECAUSE WE

[00:50:03]

>> SEE NO FURTHER DISCUSSION I WILL MAKE THE POINT THAT I AM VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS NEW EXECUTIVE CHEF. WE GOT HIM FROM THE RITZ-CARLTON AND HE'S DOING GREAT WORK DOWN THERE. IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO GET OUT THERE AND HAVE LUNCH.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO PLAY GOLF TO EAT THERE. I'LL TELL YOU WE REALLY ENJOYED THE FOOD. IT WAS A DELICIOUS TIME I HOPE YOU GO TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY

AT HIGH-QUALITY FOOD AT GREAT BERNADINO BEACH PRICES. >> I WILL FOLLOW THAT UP BRIEFLY BY SAYING I HAVE HEARD THAT THE FOOD IS EXCELLENT. HAVEN'T MADE IT THERE YET BUT

IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN THIS WEEK. >> YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED. >> CITY CLERK PLEASE CALL THE BOAT.

[5.3 SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE APPROVAL - BARNEY'S PUMPS INC.]

>> I'M VICTORIA THE UTILITIES ENGINEER.THIS IS A SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE PER BARNEY'S

PUMP IN THE AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $65,720. >> ANY QUESTIONS FOR OUR

PRESENTER? >> NO BUT I HAVE A COMMENT. >> THAT WOULD BE THE NEXT PORTION. ANY QUESTIONS? SEEING NONE YOUR EMOTION?

>> MOVED TO APPROVE. >> I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND NOW I'LL HEAR

COMMISSIONER ROSS'S COMMENT. >> AGAIN THE COUNTY RECENTLY CHOSE THIS PURCHASING LENNIX FROM WHAT THEY CALL MICRO PURCHASES WHICH IS UP TO $10,000 AND SMALL PURCHASES BETWEEN 10,000 AND UNDER $10,000. TO FORM A COMPETITIVE BID OF HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. WINNINGLY IF THIS PUMP AND WE KNEW THIS SIX WEEKS AGO BUT THIS IS AN ADDITIONAL SIX WEEKS IN THE PROCESS. INSTEAD OF HAVING TO DELAY THIS FOR SIX WEEKS THAT WE KNEW WAS INEVITABLE. IT'S JUST ANOTHER REASON THAT IT'S PUT ON THIS BECAUSE IT $65,000 AND IF THAT SHOULD BE IN THE AUTHORITY OF THE CITY MANAGER SHOULD HAVE. QUICK THANK YOU COMMISSIONER ROSS.

AGAIN IF THERE IS DISCUSSION ABOUT THE PURCHASING PROCESS THAT WILL BE ON THE FUTURE WILL WORKSHOP. WE ARE NOT HERE TO APPROVE THI .

>> I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION. CHARLIE HAS DISTALLY THE PROCESS?

HAS THE AMOUNT DELAY THE PROCESS? >> I'M NOT SURE IT SIX WEEKS BUT IT DOES DELAY BECAUSE WE HAVE TO GET THE INFORMATION PUT ON A RESOLUTION TO GET IN ON THE AGENDA. THERE IS A TIMEFRAME AS OPPOSED TO THE STAFF GETTING THE INFORMATION AND WE HAVE THAT SPENDING LIMIT. WE JUST DO IT SO IF THERE IS A TIME BETWEEN HAVING A HIGHER SPENDING UNIT AND HAVING THE PROCESS OF GETTING IN ON THE

AGENDA. >> AND JUSTIN WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS AN INSULATOR. THE MCGINLEY OF THIS TO ANOTHER DAY TO DISCUSS OTHER POINTS

SPECIFICALLY ON THIS PARTICULAR PURCHASE I JUST WANT TO MAKE A GENERAL COMMENT ABOUT SOUL SEARCH PURCHASING AND THAT IS THAT THE CREDIBILITY OF THE CITIES ARE AT STAKE BECAUSE THE CITY RESIDENTS NO LONGER TRUST THE CITY AS THEY ONCE DID BECAUSE THERE'SBEEN SO MUCH GOING ON . I THINK THE CITY MANAGER SHOULD LOOK INTO LOWERING THE LIMITS OF SOUL SEARCH PURCHASING TO BE LESS THAN WHAT THE COUNTY IS.

[00:55:08]

>> LET'S GET OUR CITY ENGINEER MR. GEORGE TO ADD A COMMENT TO THAT.

>> THERE ARE ISSUES WHERE WE DON'T GET ENOUGHBIDS WHEN WE GO OUT .

USES THE PAST BUT WITH THIS PARTICULAR MATERIAL THE PUMPS THEY MATCH WHAT WE HAVE SO THAT'S WHY WE ARE GOING TO THE SOURCE. WE DON'T WANT TO BRING IN A

DIFFERENT PUMP THAT MAY NOT WORK LIKE THE ONE WE HAVE. >> WE HAD A MOTION IN A SECOND

THE ONE THAT WAS IN THE PACKET WHICH WE JUST DIDN'T REALIZE UNTIL THE 11TH HOUR WHEN COMMISSIONER ROSS AND I WERE HAVING A FEW DISCUSSIONS ABOUT OUR READING COMPREHENSION ABILITIES BECAUSE ONE CONTRACTS AT THREE IN THE OTHER ONE SAID 30. IF I MAY APPROACH IN A PASS THIS OUT TO SEE YOU HAVE IT.

>> EMAIL WE WOULD LOVE THAT. >> WILL SHE IS DOING THAT I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHERE THE

CONFUSION LIES. >> WORKS AT THE DISCOUNT IF YOU WILL CLOSE DOWN FOR EXAMPL . THE SIGNED CONTRACT SAYS IT HAS TO BE DOWN FOR 30 DAYS AND THEN AMELIA RIVER EXCURSIONS GETS 10% DISCOUNT. THEY CAN THEN RECEIVE THE DISCOUNT. THE LEASE IN THE PACKET SINCE THREE DAYS.

THAT'S NOT CORRECT.>> WHEN I HANDED OUT TO YOU COMMISSIONERS AND MAYOR AND VICE MARY IS A RESOLUTION THAT WAS APPROVED WITH THE ATTACHED CONTRACT. AS THEY HAPPEN TONIGHT SOME CHANGES WERE MADE SO AFTER THE MEETING THE PRESENTED CONTRACT IN 2018 DUSTED OFF THE BRAINS.

IT SAYS THREE DAYS AND THERE WAS A DISCUSSION IN THREE DAYS THAT WAS UNFAIR TO THE CITY BUT IT DIDN'T REALLY GIVE TIME FOR IT TO GO DOWN TO BE REPAIRED SO THE COMMISSION NEGOTIATED THAT WE WOULD DO 30 DAYS. IT WAS ALSO MADE VERY CLEAR BACK THAT YOU HAD NO SEAL.

AT THE CONTRACT THAT WE PASS OUT THAT THIS PROVISION WOULD NOT KICK IN UNTIL BILL WAS BACK ON THE DOCKS AND THAT WAS UNTIL 2022 BUT I COULD BE WRONG. EVEN THOUGH THE PRECISION WAS IN THERE AND NOT FOR GOING YOU DON'T GET THE DISCOUNT UNTIL WE GET THE FUEL BACK UP AND RUNNING FOR GOOD. YOU GET A DISCOUNT ON YOUR BOAT SLIP PAYMENT THE COURSE OF ONE MONTH. THAT'S WHAT WAS NEGOTIATED IN THE CORRECTLY SET I HANDED OUT AND THAT'S FOR PARAGRAPH 16. I DIDN'T CATCH IT UNTIL TODAY WHEN I WAS ENTERING WITH COMMISSIONER ROSS FOR THREE VERSUS 30. WE DISCOVERED THE ERROR THAT WHAT HE WAS READING WAS NOT CORRECT. I DO BELIEVE THAT I'M REPRESENTING THIS IS THE RIGHT ONE. WHAT WE SENT TO THE CITY IN SEPTEMBER 13 WHEN WE ASKED TO RENEW THE LEASE . SEEK ME TO ADDRESS ANYTHING

ELSE ARE WE? >> I WOULD LIKE TO ASK WHEN WERE.

THIS IS THE ONE WE ARE VOTING ON TONIGHT. THE ONLY DIFFERENT FOR THE

PUBLIC'S BENEFIT IS THAT THREE VERSUS 30 DAYS DIFFERENT. >> THE WRONG CONTRACT IS IN THEM. THE RIGHT ONE IS THE END AND THEN YOUR PACKET REPLACING THIS

VESSEL. >> RELEASE ALSO EXPIRES AND WE HAVE AN AUTOMATIC YEAR RENEWAL UNTIL WE COMBINE THAT WITH RENEWING IT FOR THE ADDITIONAL FIVE YEARS UPDATING YOU AS HAS ARTIE BEEN SAID. THE DIFFERENCE FROM WHAT WAS IN THE PACKET AND NEGOTIATED THAT NIGHT HAS ARTIE BEEN SIGNED AND THERE ARE FEW ORDER THE THINGS THAT ARE NEGOTIATED THAT NIGHT

[01:05:03]

>> ARE THERE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? X AFTER READING THESE DOCUMENTS WE HAVE THESE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE KIOSK PRICE CAME ABOUT. AND HOW WE DECIDED GOING THROUGH THEIR CANNOT DETERMINE HOW THAT NUMBER WAS DETERMINED. WHEN I BRING THAT UP? I BRING IT UP BECAUSE WE JUST WENT THROUGH OR GOING THROUGH WITH ATLANTIC SEAFOOD THE CONSULTANT TO THINK ABOUT WHAT THE RENTAL RATES SHOULD BE CONTRACT THAT WE HAVE WHERE THERE'S JUST A LOT OF CONTROVERSY AND WHY THAT IS. I CAN'T TELL FROM THE SOURCE VOTE FOR THIS WITHOUT KNOWING HOW WE CAME UP WITH THAT RATE AND WHAT THAT RATE IS. WOULD YOU LIKE ME INTRODUCTION.

>> YET CONTINUE $550. THE SALES TAX WHICH ACTUALLY GOES DOWN BECAUSE SALES TAX GOES FOR 6.5% TO 5.4% ON DECEMBER 1 TO THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT ARE PAYING THESE PAYMENT . HE IS BEING BUILT THAT MONTHLY AND PAYING IT MONTHLY.

>> HUNDRED ATTUNEMENT THAT RATE WAS? ORIGINALLY FOR THE 20 RIGHT WHEN THE TEMPORARY FACILITY THAT ONLY HAS ELECTRICITY AND NO WATER OR SEWAGE HE WAS PAYING $300. DON'T KNOW YEARS AGO HOW THAT WAS DETERMINED.

ANOTHER WAS A THREE-YEAR LEASE AND KEVIN CAN COME UP AND IT WAS INCREASED SIN EVENTUALLY IT WENT FROM KEVIN PAYING THE CITY HANDLING THE ELECTRICITY BECAUSE WE COULDN'T EVENGET

ELECTRICITY IN THE ENTITY'S NAME .>> THREE DAYS LATER THEY SIMPLY ASKED IF THE FEE COULD BE INCREASED SO IT WENT TO 400. THREE YEARS LATER ONCE AGAIN WE WENT UP AGAIN. IT WAS A CITY MANAGER EACH TIM .

THE FREE CITY MANAGERS DURING THE TIME AND THAT JUST CANNOT ARBITRARILY SAID IT WILL GO UP TO A CERTAIN AMOUNT. WHEN WE DID THE LONG TERM LEASE BY THEN IT WAS 550.

I DON'T KNOW IF THERE WAS ANY DISCUSSION AT THAT POINT. HE WAS PROBABLY JUST A YEAR OR SO BEFORE THAT RESET AND SO THAT'S WHAT IT WAS NOT THAT WE PAID EVERSON.

>> ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? SEE NANDU I HEAR A MOTION? >> MOVED TO APPROVE QUICK

SECOND ANY DISCUSSION? >> THERE'S TWO THINGS THAT GIVE ME PAUSE.

ONE IS THE 30 DAYS ON THE FUEL. NOT NOW THAT THAT'S A FAIR DEAL TO THE CITY.

ON THE SECOND ONE AS I JUST HAVE A PAUSE BECAUSE WE ARE NOW LOOKING AT OTHER LEASES AND SO ON AND HOW THIS IS DETERMINE WHETHER THAT'S A FAIR RATE. AYBE IT'S PAYING TOO MUCH.

THAT'S MY CONCERN. THEY ARE JUST NUMBERS THAT ARE PULLED OUT OF THE AIR ESSENTIALLY. THERE'S NO STUDY TO THAT. THAT'S HOW WE GOT INTO TROUBLE IN 1985. THAT'S MY CONCERN WITH THIS. YOU WERE IN A GREAT SERVICE AND I APPRECIATED IVS THAT. I RECOMMENDED IT MANY TIMES. HE PAY THE MARKET RATE AND I

[01:10:05]

CONCERN ABOUT THAT . >> COULD YOU PLEASE DESCRIBE THE TERMS OF THE AUTOMATIC EXTENSION CLAUSE? WHEN WE SAY TURN FRANK DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THE TERMS WERE ORIGINALLY SET? IF THEY EXTEND FOR FIVE YEARS SHOULD WE BE DEBATING WHAT THE

TERMS ARE?>> IT'S ONE ADDITIONAL CONSECUTIVE FIVE-YEAR PERIOD.

THE FIRST LEASES 2018 AND WE ARE ENTERING INTO THE END OF FIRST FIVE YEARS IN THE AUTOMATIC RENEWAL FOR THE SECOND. I WOULD SAY THAT WHEN WE ARE APPROACHED WITH AT LEAST AMENDMENT YOU CAN TALK ABOUT ANY PROVISIONS.

IF THIS APPROVED TONIGHT THE SAME RENTAL TERMS WOULD APPLY. >> IT'S JUST CLARIFYING WHAT IT'S SAYING THEY'RE NOT COMING BACK FROM AN IDENTICAL FIVE YEARS.

BECAUSE THEY ARE ASKING TO HAVE MORE FRONTAGE WITH THE LARGER VOTE IT OPENS UP AND THAT'S MY

COMMISSION ROSS IS MAKING CHANGES. >> IF THEY WEREN'T MAKING

CHANGES THEY COULD JUST ROLL THAT FORWARD. >> BASICALLY ANSWER YOUR QUESTION THEY OPENTHE DOOR . WE WOULD RENEW IT AND THERE WOULD BE ANY DISCUSSION BUT

THEY DIDN'T COME BACK AND OPEN THE DOOR AS A JUDGE WOULD SAY. >> I'M OVER HERE WITH A

DIFFERENT INTERPRETATION. >> PARAGRAPH 12 SAYS THAT WHEN WE REPLACE THE BOAT WE SHALL

AGREE TO THE PRORATED CHANGES IN THE RATE. >> I THINK ONE POTENTIAL FURTHER VERIFICATION IS ALLOCATING DOLLARS PER SQUARE FOOT AND THAT BREAKS DOWN TO BE CLOSE TO FAIR MARKET VALUE. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I KNOW CERTAIN AREAS ARE 25 SQUARE FEET FOR COMMERCIAL SPACE. I THINK THAT WARRANTS AN APPROPRIATE ADJUSTMENT WHATEVER THAT NUMBER IS WE CAN ELIMINATE THIS DISCUSSION FROM BECOMING A PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE.

>> JUST TO BE CLEAR THIS IS A 20' X 20 AREA. IT IS UNNECESSARILY NEEDING

CLARIFICATION. >> WE'RE EXTENDING MY CLARIFICATION ON THIS IS BEING EXTENDED FOR FIVE MORE YEARS AND BASICALLY AFTER THAT FIVE YEARS WILL ENTER INTO NEW

CONTRACT AT THAT POINT. >> YES. >> AND I HAVE NO SHE'S CONTINUING WE ARE RIGHT NOW AND THAT IN FIVE YEARS WILL TAKE A LOOK AT THE RATE ON THE THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING AT THAT POINT. IN MY OPINION THE CONTRACT IS SOLID. ANDERSON IF THEY HAVE A BIGGER BOAT I HEAR WHAT HE'S SAYING HOWEVER IN MY TERMS IN THE WAY I SEE THIS THEY'RE JUST CHANGING THE BOAT OUT AND

THAT'S FINE. >> JUST TO BE CLEAR WHEN ASK ONE MORE QUESTION.

THEY WILL PAY BECAUSE THEY'LL HAVE MORE LENIENT DOCS. >> THAT'S CORRECT.

>> WE HAVE THAT MOTION AND A SECOND ON THE TABLE. IF THERE'S NO FURTHER DISCUSSION I WILL GO AHEAD AND CALL THE BO THE VOTE.

>> WE WILL GO TO THE CONSENT AGENDA AND COME BACK TO THE PROCLAMATION LATER ON TONIGHT.

[5.7 FDOT GRANT AGREEMENT ACCEPTANCE - TAXIWAY A REHAB]

WHERE IS THAT MATCHING MONEY GOING TO COME FROM RUSSIAN-AMERICAN AND THE SECOND QUESTION IS WHAT ARE THE OBLIGATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS THAT THE CITY MUST FOLLOW TO

ACCEPT THIS GRANT. >> ARE 2% MATCH COMES FROM AIRPORT FUNDS WHICH WE DERIVE FROM USER FEES. WE DON'T USE ANY TAXPAYER DOLLARS.

YOUR NEXT QUESTION IS FOR THESE GRANTS THIS IS A STATE GRANT SO WE HAVE GRANT ASSURANCES WHICH IS A LIST OF ABOUT 20 ITEMS ECHO FROM EVERYTHING TO ENSURE WE HAVE THE MATCHING FUNDS CAN WE DON'T GIVE PEOPLE EXCLUSIVE RIGHT. WE DO FAIR MARKET VALUE AND WE

[01:20:05]

LET'S TAKE A PHOTO. [APPLAUSE] >> COMMISSIONERS I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU. MR. ASSAD LIKE TO WELCOME YOU TO OUR WONDERFUL CITY.

MANY OF YOU KNEW EMILY. SHE LOVED THE CITY AND THIS WAS HER HOMETOWN.

SHE WANTED TO MAKE OUR WORLD A BETTER PLACE. AS WE HAVE HAD TO GO THROUGH THIS WALK. ANYBODY THAT'S LOST A CHILD AND WE HAVE LOTS OF MEMORIES IN THIS COMMUNITY WHO HAVE LOST A CHILD. THERE'S NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT WHAT PAIN AND AGONY OUR FAMILY GOES THROUGH EVERY DAY BECAUSE WE KNOW SO MANY OTHER FAMILIES ARE WALKING THAT EXAM WALK EVERY DAY. MISSING THAT CHILD.HAT YOU LOOK AT IS THE EMPTY CHAIR AT THE TABLE. WHAT YOU LOOK AT IS THE MISSING COMPANIONSHIP. YOU'RE MISSING THE VALUE THAT THESE INDIVIDUALS BRING TO YOUR FAMILY BUT ALSO YOUR COMMUNITY. YOU MIGHT ASK YOURSELF AS I'M SITTING HERE AT THE COMMISSION WHAT CAN I DO? THERE'S A COUPLE THINGS HE CAN DO.

ONE WOULD BE MAKING SURE THAT YOU TRACK YOUR RISK SCORE WHICH EVERYONE YOU WANT TO USE.

THE REALITY IS YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT YOUR RISK IS. IF YOU HAVE A FAMILY HISTORY I PLEAD WITH YOU AND BEG YOU TO PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR FAMILY HISTORY AND COMMUNICATE THAT TO YOUR HEALTHCARE PRACTITIONER. MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE AWARE THAT AND ASK THEM WHAT THE PREVENTION PLAN IS. WHAT CAN THEY DO TO MINIMIZE THAT RISK.

WE ARE ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN EFFORTS TO RAISE AWARENESS WITH PAINFULLY REAL SITUATION RUNNING ACROSS THE STATE OF LORETTA. THIS IS A MASSIVE KITCHEN TABLE ISSUE AFFECTING SO MANY FAMILIES. THERE'S ABOUT 37,000 OR SO PULMONARY EMBOLISM'S AND ABOUT 17,000 ADDITIONAL ON TOP OF THAT NUMBER ARE DYING FROM PES.

THOSE ARE JUST ESTIMATES. WE DON'T HAVE ANY REAL DATA IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

WE SET UP THE DATA WITH THE SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM. THE OTHER BIG DEAL ABOUT THIS IS THAT THEY WILL ACTUALLY BRING TOGETHER MEDICAL NATIONALS FROM ACROSS THE STATE OF FLORIDA TO TALK ABOUT WITH THE STATE EDUCATION SHOULD BE. I'LL LOOK UP A NEW START UP COMING OUT OF THE UK CALLED THINGS AROUND THAT USING AI AND OTHER TYPES OF TECHNOLOGIES.

THESE ARE ADVANCEMENTS THAT ARE CLEARLY HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION OF HELPING PREVENT BLOOD CLOTS AND THE ADVERSE EFFECTS THAT THOSE HAVE ON SO MANY FAMILIES.

WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR YOU AND GRATEFUL FOR THE STONE. WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE PEOPLE THAT MAKE UP THE STONE IT MEANS A WHOLE LOT TO US. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU.

THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT FOR PROPERTY TAX COLLECTIONS. >> THIS IS A RESOLUTION FOR INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH NASSAU COUNTY FOR THE COMMISSION WHICH HAS ARTIE BEEN APPROVED. THIS IS TO HELP THE ASSESSOR COLLECT AND PROVIDE COLLECTIONS TO THE FUND FOR TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY VERIFICATION SERVICES.

THIS IS A TAX COLLECTON THIRD-PARTY AGENCY.IT WILL BE SERVING THE TAX ASSESSOR AND WILL BE JOINING THE BENEFIT OF THAT SERVICE. QUICK THINKING MR. ROSS ANY

QUESTIONS?>> I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND THIS IS STILL CORRECT ME IF ANYTHING I'M SAYING IS NOT CORRECT. TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY IS EVERYTHING OTHER THAN REAL ESTATE AND USE IN A BUSINESS OR PROPERTY SO WHEN A BUSINESS HAS CARS OR TABLES OR WHATEVER

THAT'S WHAT THIS TAX CONCERNED IS THAT CORRECT? >> AND TALKING WITH THE TAX ASSESSOR THERE'S MORE THAN 800 BUSINESSES IN THE COUNTY THAT HAVE 50,000 T$50,000 OF TANGIBL PROPERTY AND THEY ARE LOOKING TO ASSESS BIG USERS WITH BIG BILLS IS THAT CORRECT?

>> OVER 50,000 QUARKS BASICALLY WHAT THIS IS IS A VERIFICATION ON IT SO WE GO IN AND TAKE WITH THEIR TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES AND BASICALLY ACCOUNT FOR THEIR EQUIPMENT AND EVERYTHING ELSE TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING ENDS UP I DON'T KNOW THAT LEVEL

>> HOMEY BUILDING SITES ARE CURRENTLY ON THIS PROPERTY WITH UNDERLYING LOTS CONTAINED IN THE PROPERTY? WILL THIS PROPERTY IF IT SUBDIVIDED BE DIVIDED AND

IMPROVED UNDER COUNTY RULES OR CITY RULES? >> THERE IS ONE STRUCTURE THAT IS THERE AND THERE ARE THREE LOTS THAT ARE SHOWN ON THE ORIGINAL PLAT THAT ARE AVAILABLE. THE PROPERTY WOULD MOST LIKELY DEVELOP ANYTIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE UNDER THE COUNTY'S RULE . THEY WANT WATER AND SEWER SERVICES AND YOU HAVE DECIDED ANNEXATION AGREEMENT WHEN WE DO BECOME CONTIGUOUS QUICK SO THIS

COULD BE SUBDIVIDED. >> THE APPLICATION EXPLAINS EXACTLY WHAT THE EVIDENCE.

>> EXCELLENT, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SEEING NANDU I HEAR A MOTION?

>> MOTION TO APPROVE >> SECOND . >> IS A REQUEST TO SPEAK ON THIS?

>> THIS IS CONCERNED ME FOR A WHILE. THIS VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION AGREEMENT THAT YOU HAVE BECAUSE FLORIDA STATUTE UNDER FLORIDA STATUTE VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION 171.0 FOUR. THE OWNER OR OWNERS OF REAL PROPERTY IN AN UNINCORPORATED AREA OF THE COUNTY WHICH IS CONTIGUOUS TO THE MUNICIPALITY AND REASONABLY COMPACT MAY PETITION A GOVERNING BODY IN THE SAID MUNICIPALITY THAT THE PROPERTY BE ANNEXED TO THE MUNICIPALITY BUT IT HAS TO BE CONTINUOUS. IT GIVES THEM THE WATER, SEWER AT A SURCHARGE TO THEIR FELLOWS BUT THEY ARE NOT CONTIGUOUS WHICH IS WHY COMMISSION ROSS WAS ASKING ABOUT THE ZONING AND WHETHER IT BE THE COUNTY OR THE CITIES.

THEY WILL NOT BE IN EXTENT UNTIL THE PROPERTIES BETWEEN THE PROPERTIES THAT'S BEING ANNEXED INVOLUNTARILY IS CONTIGUOUS TO THE CITY. SO THEY ARE NOT A CITY PROPERTY EIGHT YOU ARE GIVING THEM CONTRARY TO FLORIDA LAW THAT SAYS YOU HAVE TO BE CONTIGUOUS.

>> I UNDERSTAND WHY SOMEBODY READING THE STATUTE WOULD THINK THAT BY READING THAT.

THE LAW IN FLORIDA IS THAT THIS IS A VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION AGREEMENT WITH PETITION FOR ANNEXATION. SOMEBODY THAT IS CONTIGUOUS THAT'S WHAT THE SET STATUTE SAYS CAN APPLY BUT THIS IS WHAT THE CITY IS REQUIRING IN EXCHANGE FOR CONNECTING TO THE

[01:35:01]

IF YOU'D LIKE TO CONTACT YOU AT MY OFFICE AND HAPPY TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU.

NEXT WE WILL REACH OUT TO MISCARRY AND HAVE A DISCUSSION I DO UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE STATUTE THAT'S THINK DEFENSE OF THE STATUTE SAYS BUT THAT'S NOT HOW IT'S BEEN INTERVIEWED OVER THE YEARS. JUST CONTACT ME I'M HAPPY TO SHARE WITH YOU EVERYTHING THAT

I HAVE ON THIS. >> PLEASE FILL OUT A FORM AS WELL.

>> THIS IS JUST ANOTHER GREAT ANNEXATION. THE PROPERTY THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO ANNEXED BETWEEN HERE WOULD NEED TO BE DONE EVENTUALLY. EVERYONE THAT WANTS TO VERY INVOLUNTARILY COME IN AND GET OUR SERVICES I THINK IT'S A GREAT THING.

THEY'RE USING OUR ISLAND EVERY SQUARE INCH OF IT. I BELIEVE IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO WITH THE SEPTIC TANK AND IT'S THE RIGHT THING FOR OUR CITY. THINK IT'S A GOOD

THING. >> I JUST WANTED TO EXPAND ON THAT A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE CONCERN THAT WE WERE AWARE THAT SOME CITIZENS WERE CONCERNED.

THIS IS VOLUNTARY AND THIS IS A CONTRACT WHEN THE PROPERTY OWNER IN THE CITY.

THE CITY DOES NOT HAVE TO PROVIDE THE SERVICE BUT THE ALTERNATIVE IS AND WE KNOW THIS THAT THE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT WILL PROVIDE PERMITS FOR SEPTIC TANKS.

THEY DEVELOP UNDER THE COUNTY SOURCE. I WOULD VENTURE TO GUESS THAT IT'S CLOSE TO ACCURATE THAT IT'S MOSTLY THE CITY THAN ANSWERS THESE CALLS.

AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE WE EXPECT THE CITY TAXPAYERS TO GET TAXES FROM THIS PROPERTY OTHERWISE WE WILL GET FREE SERVICES. IT'S GONNA DEVELOP AND THAT'S WHAT ANNEXATION DOES. IT PROVIDES US WITH THE TAX REVENUE.

>> WE DO HAVE A REQUEST FROM THE VICE COMMISSIONER. >> THANK YOU MAYOR.

I APPRECIATE YOURCOMMENTS . SOMETIMES THEY DON'T DESCRIBE THOSE DETAILS BUT THE REALITY IS WHAT YOU JUST STATED. OUR CITY SERVICES GO AND WE DO PROVIDE 911 SERVICES.

SOMEBODY IS NEEDING ATTENTION WE DO SHOW UP EVERY TIME. I APPRECIATE OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT. TAXPAYERS ARE PAYING FOR IT. I DO APPRECIATE THE

CLARIFICATION. >> THE REASON THIS IS BEING ANNEXED AS OPPOSED I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE BECAUSE I HAVEN'T TALK TO THE PERSON THAT'S DOING IT PRAXIS IS KIND OF LIKE AN AMENDMENT BASED ON THE SANGHA. AI DON'T RECALL. QTHROUGH GILLETTE HERE?

>> NICK GILLETTE 20 S. STREET AND BERNADINO. ON THE AGENT FOR THE AFTER CLIENT AND IT STARTED IN SUBDIVIDED IN THREE LOTS. PERMITS CAN BE PROVIDED ON THOSE THREE LOTS. IT'S JUST A WAY OF GETTING SEWER AND SEPTIC.

>> MR. GILLETTE IF I COULD JUST ASK YOU A QUESTION. TO CLARIFY WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THERE ALREADY THREE LOTS WHETHER OR NOT WE ANNEX THEM OR NOT THERE ARE THREE LOTS THERE

AND THEIR THREE UNITS THERE WHETHER IT'SIN EXTERNAL . >> I KNOW WE'VE HAD THIS DISCUSSION IN THE PAST. THERE ARE THREE LOTS AND THREE-PERSON ID NUMBERS.

[01:40:05]

>> WITH THAT IN MIND THE TWIST TONIGHT IN YOUR OPINION IS ARE THESE THOUGHTS CAN A PAY CITY

TAXES WERE THEY NOT. >> EVENTUALLY THEY WILL BE ANNEXED UNTIL THEY ARE CONTIGUOUS. THERE WILL BE A 25% SURCHARGE AND THE NEXT WHEN THEY ARE

CONTIGUOUS UNDER COUNTY REGULATIONS. >> LOT SIZES WILL BE BIGGER

THAN THE LARGEST 75 SO I THOUGHT IN THE CITY. >> THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? CITY CLERK PLEASE CALL THE ROLE.

[6.3 VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION AGREEMENT - 791 GROVE PARK CIRCLE]

>> THIS IS THE SAME SCENARIO WITH THE VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION AGREEMENT.

IT'S NOT COMING INTO THE CITY NOW. IT EXTENDS THE CITY SERVICES AT THAT'S TIME AND WHEN IT BECOMES CONTIGUOUS IT WILL COME INTO THE CITY.AT THE SAME

SITUATION AS BEFORE. >> I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS AND THE PREVIOUS ONE AND THIS IS ONLY ONE LINE CAN ONLY BE ONE BECAUSE THEY HAVE A SEPTIC SYSTEM AND SEWER. IT CANNOT BE FURTHER SUBDIVIDED IS THAT CORRECT?

>> I LOOKED AT IT IT'S A PLATTED LOT.THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE.

>> THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION DO I HEAR A MOTION? >> MOTION TO APPROVE.

>> SECOND. >> ANY DISCUSSION? SEEING THEM CITY CLERK PLEASE CALL THE RU ROLA.

MR. GLISSON CAN EXPLAIN. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS BUT COMMERCIAL RATE SANITATION HAVE NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE BUT WE SHOULD INCLUDE THEM AND SO HE HAS A HANDOUT HERE FOR YOU. IT INCLUDES THE COMMERCIAL RATES.

OBVIOUSLY IT'S THE SECOND READING THE ATTACHMENTS WILL INCLUDE THESE RATES IN THE SCHEDULE. IT WAS JUST AN OVERSIGHT SO THIS IS THE COMMERCIAL SANITATION RATE THAT WILL BE ADDED TO THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE X ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT

THIS IS THE REPLACEMENT OF THE INSURANCE COVERAGE.T'S ACTUALLY A DEDUCTION FOR $6000 PER YEAR.NUMBER TWO 'S A MEMBER OF THIS COMMISSION WILL APPROVE THE SALARY COMMISSION ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. IT'S JUST THE CYCLE THE WAY OUR SYSTEM IS SET UP.

IT'S A CYCLE THAT DOESN'T MATTER ANYTIME SOMEONE WILL APPROVE IT AND I BELIEVE THIS IS JUST CONTINUOUS TO SAVE THE SALARY INCREASE AND ARTIE STATED THAT MULTIPLE TIMES.

I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT TO THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE RECENTLY PASSED AN AMENDMENT IF YOU FILE FOR CITY COMMISSION YOU HAVE TO DECLARE ANYTHING OR ANY SALARY OVER THOUSAND DOLLARS YOU HAVE

[01:50:02]

THE FIRST CHARITY I WILL BE DONATING IT TO YOU IS TO THE FOOD DRIVE.

I THINK THAT THE CITY COMMISSION AND INCREASING THEIR SALARY IS TOTALLY INAPPROPRIATE AND I WOULDN'T GO FOR IT AS I SAID FOR THE NEXT COMMISSION BUT I'M NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR

MYSELF TO GET A SALARY INCREASE. >> I DISAGREE WITH ROSS I WILL STATE AGAIN. THIS IS A SALARY DECREASE IN AN INCREASE.

NO I DID NOT RUN AND I'VE ALREADY HAD A CURB AND REPORTED MY ASSETS AS THEY WERE

PUBLISHED ALREADY. >> ACTUALLY YOUR ASSETS ARE THERE BUT YOU DIDN'T TO PUBLISH THE REQUIREMENT. YOU HAVE TO LIST THE AMOUNT OF MONEY IN EVERY ONE OF YOUR BANK ACCOUNT. EVERY ONE OF YOUR FUNDS. IT IS YOUR ASSETS AND IF IT'S OVER HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS AND IF YOU'VE DONE THAT IT IS NOT BEEN FILED WITH THE CITY OR

THE ELECTIONS BOARD BECAUSE IT DID PULL TO SEE WHAT THEY WEAR. >> IT IS FORM SIX WHICH IS WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. THE NEW LAW THAT IS EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1.

FORM SIX IS FILED WITH THE COMMISSION ON ETHICS NOT THE GEYSER OF ELECTION EXITS THE

SUPERVISOR OF ELECTION THAT KEEPS THOSE FORMS. >> SHE DOESN'T KEEP FORMS.

>> RESORTING TO RANCH A LITTLE BIT OFF TOPIC. >> I WILL BRIEFLY STATE AGAIN I HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE. BEFORE IT STATED AND WHEN IT COMES TIME TO FILL THE NEW FORMULA I WILL BE HIDING ANYTHING THERE EITHER BECAUSE I DON'T BENEFIT FROM ANYTHING

FROM THIS COMMISSION'S JOB. >> I WILL CLOSE BY SAYING I WENT TO GREAT DETAIL AND SUPPORT THIS LAST MONTH. THE HIGHLIGHT IS ACTUALLY ABOUT THE BARRIERS.HERE'S A LOT OF BARRIERS AND ONE OF THEM IS THAT REQUIREMENT INVOLVING PEOPLE WHO ARE MEAN ON THE INTERNET THAT EXISTS. THIS NUMBER HAS NOT CHANGED SINCE THE 90S.

I'M DISAPPOINTED THAT OUR MAYOR HAS TAKEN THE STANCE THAT YOU WILL NOT READ THE CITY OF FERNANDINA BEACH PROCLAMATION REQUESTED BY A GROUP OF CITY RESIDENTS. YOU ARE ELECTED AS A COMMISSIONER TO REPRESENT THE CITIZENS OF THIS COMMUNITY. YOU HAVE HUNDREDS OF PROCLAMATIONS WHILE FULFILLING YOUR ROLE AS MAYOR NOT YOU DECIDE TO PICK AND CHOOSE WHICH OF THE MULTITUDE OF INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS THAT MAKE UP THE FABRIC OF THIS COMMUNITY YOU WILL BLAST WITHOUT MAYORAL PROCLAMATION. WHAT'S NEXT MR. MAYOR? WILL YOU REFUSE TO READ THE PROCLAMATIONS REGARDING OUR BLACK CITIZENS? OR OUR ASIAN COMMUNITY? OR THOSE WITH DISABILITIES OR MINORITIES OR PERHAPS EVEN READ PROCLAMATIONS REGARDING WOMEN.

THIS IS A SLIPPERY SLOPE YOU HAVE STARTED BY YOUR REFUSAL TO READ THIS LEGITIMATE ORGANIZATION'S REQUEST. MR. MAYOR TIERNEY HAS SMALL BEGINNING AND YOU HAVE JUST SHOWN THIS COMMUNITY HOW IT'S DONE. WE WELCOME MR. PETE STEVENSON.

[01:55:02]

>> I MET 1627 HIGHLANDS WAY FERNANDINA BEACH. THIS IS JUST ABOUT TO HAVE 100,000 RESIDENTS IN AND GUESS WHAT? OVER 10% OF THEM HAVE FOOD AND SECURITIES. THINK ABOUT THAT THAT 10,000 PEOPLE IN THIS COMMUNITY.

WE HAVE SOME ORGANIZATIONS THAT HELP SOLVE THAT PROBLEM. ONE OF THEM IS BARNABAS.

BARNABAS AND THE ROTARY CLUB ARE IN THE PROCESS RIGHT NOW OF TRYING TO GATHER 30,000 OF DRIED FOODS IN ONE WEEK SO THAT'S CLOSING OUT BY THE END OF THE WEEK.

ALONG WITH THAT WE TAKE EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO GIVE US. THE CASH IS USED BY SPECIALTY FOODS WITH REQUIRED STATEMENTS FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVE DIABETIC ISSUES AND OTHER ISSUES WERE THEY CAN GO EAT MACARONI AND CHEESE THEY HAD HAVE SALT, SUGAR ETC. I JUST WANT TO SAY ONE GREAT THING Q TO A LOT OF BUSINESSES. WE HAVE 65 LOCATIONS FROM THE COUNTY RIGHT NOW TO PICK UP THOSE FOODS. IF YOU WANT A DONATION FUND BARNABAS. I WOULD ASK IN THE MEMO LINE TO MARKET FALL ROTARY FOOD DRIVE.

THE ROTARY IS COORDINATING IT BUT WE WANT THE DONATIONS TO BE WRITTEN TO BARNABAS NOT ROTARY.

ALONG WITH THAT WE HAVE ANOTHER PARTNER CITY STAFF, FIRE AND POLICE.

I KNOW THEY'RE DIFFERENT BUILDINGS AND SO ON BUT I JUST WANT TO SAY THIS IS THE WAY I THINK THE GOVERNMENT AND THE CITIZENS AND BUSINESSES CAN WORK TOGETHER TO RESOLVE AN ISSUE. THE LAST SIX YEARS WE'VE GONE FROM CLOSE TO 15% OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTY THAT WERE FOOD INSECURE. YOUR 10.7% IN THE LAST OFFICIAL STATISTIC. TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE 10.6% SO WE ARE JUST ABOUT EVEN WITH THE STATE. IT'S THE FACT THAT IT'S GETTING BETTER BUT WE STILL HAVE A LONG WAYS TO GO. AGAIN THANK YOU TO THE STAFF AND THE SUPPORT WE'VE GOTTEN

FROM YOU IN THE CITY. >> WE WELCOME OUR NEXT SPEAKER TO THE PODIUM.

>> GOOD EVENING I'M SHEILA 1553 INDIGO STREET. FIRST ON 8.1 THE VERY WORDING OF THE ORDINANCE SAYS ANNUAL SALARY INCREASE JUST TO BE CLEAR THAT WORDS MATTER.

WEST APPARENTLY ARE DIFFICULT FOR SOME PEOPLE TO SAY. I'M SPEAKING NOT ON BEHALF OF MYSELF AND A FRIEND OF OURS THE REVEREND LINDA HARGRAVE WHO COULD BE HERE TONIGHT WHO IS ATTENDING ANOTHER EVENT DEALING WITH ANTI-SEMITISM IT'S A SHAME THAT WE HAVE TO BE IN MANY PLACES TO DEFEND THE EXISTENCE OF SO MANY OTHERS. REVEREND GREEN ASKED THAT I READ THIS LETTER TO YOU AND TO THE PUBLIC. MAYOR BEING.

I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED TO READ THAT YOU REVERSED YOURSELF ON READING THE TRANSGENDER PROCLAMATION THIS EVENING. YOU HAVE A HISTORY OF INCLUSIVITY TO HOLD FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND ARE FAILING TO DO SO. I CAN IMAGINE YOU RECEIVE PRESSURE BOTH RELIGIOUS AND POLITICAL NOT READ IT BUT A GOOD LEADER DO DOES WHAT IS RIGHT.F YOU EXPRESS AN EXCESS WANT TO GO FURTHER YOU SHOULD FLEX MORAL MONTHS MUSCLES. GOING TO THE WIND MAKES YOU LOSE RESPECT AMONG YOUR CONSTITUENTS WHILE THE PROCLAMATION MIGHT NOT BE POPULAR IT'S IMPORTANT.

THE MAJOR CHURCHES IN OUR TOWN WILL BE MERGMARKING THE STAY IN LEARNING HOW TO BE HELPING THESE CITIZENS. IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TRANSGENDER PEOPLE FACE YOU SHOULD ATTEND. I'VE HAD TO HAD MANY UNPOPULAR DECISIONS IN AND TAUGHT ME A LOT ABOUT LEADERSHIP. IT SUGGESTS YOU SO MUCH TO LEARN.

I WOULD ALSO ADD THAT THAT THE EVENT THAT IS BEING HELD AT SAINT GARY'S IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN ABOUT THINGS THAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

MANY OF YOU SIT ON THE STAGE AND THIS DIET IS EVERY OTHER WEEK AND TALK ABOUT THINGS YOU ALSO DON'T UNDERSTAND SO I ENCOURAGE YOU TO COME OUT AND LEARNSOMETHING .

>> WILL WELCOME THE MAYOR ARLENE TO THE PODIUM. >> ARLENE PHIL KOFF 845 TALL

[02:00:04]

I DO BELIEVE THAT WE STILL HAVE A LOT TO LEARN NO MATTER HOW OLD WE ARE.

WE STILL HAVE A LOT TO LEARN ABOUT THE PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY AND MATTER WHERE WE SIT OR HOW OLD WE ARE. COMMISSIONER ASK YOU AND I HAVE HAD SEVERAL EMAIL EXCHANGES OVER A VARIETY OF TOPICS AND SO FAR THEY'VE BEEN RESPECTFUL. I HAVE A SPELL A BUTTON ON BECAUSE I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A CHAMPION OF THE END ABOUT DOG. I'VE ALWAYS FELT THAT THERE WAS A CLEAR DISTINCTION BETWEEN GOVERNMENT AND RELIGION. IF YOU DON'T FIX THEM GO BACK AND FIX THE PAPERS. READ THE CONSTITUTION AGAIN. READ THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE READ ALMOST ANYTHING WRITTEN BY OUR FOREFATHERS AND YOU WILL SEE THAT SPLIT SHOULD HAPPEN. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT HAVE STRONG RELIGIOUS CONVICTIONS. I HAD THEM WHEN I SET UP THERE. I ALSO KNEW THAT MY JOB WAS NOT TO BE ANYBODY'S MINISTER OR ANYBODY'S PASTOR. OR ANYBODY'S RABBI.MY JOB WAS TO BE A COMMISSIONER AND ENFORCE THE LAWS OF OUR CITY. MY JOB WAS TO BE INCLUSIVE TO EVERY CITIZEN IN OUR COMMUNITY. AND NOT TAKE MY RELIGIOUS BELIEF TO APPLY TO SOMEBODY ELSE. I KNOW THAT YOU GET INPUT FROM A MILLION PEOPLE.

I WAS THERE. I DID IT. YOU DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO AGREE WITH EVERYTHING AND I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO DO THAT BUT I AM ASKING YOU TO REPRESENT THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY NOT JUST THE PEOPLE THAT ELECTED YOU AND NOT JUST THE PEOPLE THAT YOU AGREE WITH. IT'S THE BIGGEST PROBLEM I SEE. I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO COME TO THE EVENT ON NOVEMBER 20. I WAS THERE LAST YEAR AND IT'S AN EYE-OPENING EXPERIENCE WHEN YOU SAY THAT YOU CAN'T SUPPORT THE PROCLAMATION THE PROCLAMATION WAS ENDORSING THE MEMORIAL DAY FOR TRANSGENDER. IT DIDN'T SAY YOU AGREE WITH THIS.

TO MEMORIAL PEOPLE GOT KILLED BECAUSE OF WHO THEY ARE THIS IS NOT SOMETHING ANYBODY SHOULD BE OKAY WITH. AGAIN IT'S AN EXTREMELY SLIPPERY SLOPE.

I'M HAVE WE MARRIED TO A JEWISH MAN. RIGHT NOW MY IN-LAWS ARE A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS ABOUT GOING OUT AND SAYING THEY ARE JEWISH BECAUSE THE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY BELIEVES THEY ARE WRONG. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIM .

>> WE WELCOME MISS JANICE MOVED TO THE PODIUM. >> WE WELCOME MISS ELIZABETH JURY TO THE PODIUM. SHE ALSO LEFT. WELCOME MR. JAMES BRENNER TO

THE PODIUM. >> THANK YOU MR. MAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS.

JAMES BRENNER 21 S. 11TH STREET IN FERNANDINA BEACH. I SAT HERE AND WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I SPENT THE TIME TO SAY THANK YOU MAYOR FOR NOT ALLOWING HIS PROCLAMATION TO GO FORWARD. I COMMUNICATED WITH OUR COMMUNITY AND WITH YOU AND I KNOW IT WAS A TOUGH DECISION. TO BE ABLE TO SAY THANK YOU WAS IMPORTANT TO ME BECAUSE I KNOW YOU WENT THROUGH A LOT AND I THINK THE BOTTOM LINE MAYOR IS THE INTEGRITY OF THE LANGUAGE IN THE PROCLAMATION. I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE NEED SOME QUALITY CONTROL ON OUR PROCLAMATIONS BECAUSE THERE ARE STATEMENTS MADE IN THIS PROCLAMATION THAT ARE UNTRUE.

I CAN GO INTO THEM BUT SUCH AS WHAT'S BEING REPORTED FROM BOSTON OVER THE STATUS THE BOSTON POLICE DID NOT SAY IT'S TOO TO HIS TRANSGENDER-ISM. IN FACT THAT'S NOT WHAT TOOK PLACE WITH MR. HESTER. ACCORDING TO THE BOSTON POLICE THERE ARE OTHER INACCURACIES AND OVERSTATEMENT THAT MAKE THE PROCLAMATION SOMETHING THAT NO PERSON SHOULD ACTUALLY SIGN SO

[02:05:03]

STANDING ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF IT. >> WE WELCOME A SANDY CAREY TO

THE PODIUM. >> PRESET WITH YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS CLICKS I THOUGHT I

ALREADY GAVE THAT. >> TWO YEARS AGO BEFORE YOU BECAME MAYOR AT ASSESSOR HAD A MEETING BEFORE HE WENT OUT OF OFFICE PROMISING TO PASS AN ORDINANCE.

FOR OVER TWO YEARS THIS HAS BEEN SUPPOSEDLY WORKED ON WITH YOUR CITY ATTORNEY.

I'D LIKE TO READ A LETTER THAT HE WROTE TO YOU AND YOUR COMMISSIONERS IN AUGUST OF THIS YEAR BECAUSE AFTER YEARS OF WORK NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO PROTECTTHIS ISLAND .

SPEAKING FOR MYSELF AND NOT FOR THE CONSERVED BOARD I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY YOU MIGHT THINK THE CITY OF FERNANDINA HAS AN ADEQUATE DOING ORDINANCE. UNFORTUNATELY THAT CONCLUSION IS PARTLY BASED ON OLDER INFORMATION WITH FEMA IN 2017 THAT THEY DETERMINED TO BE AN ADEQUATE FOR INSURANCE PURPOSES. ADDITIONALLY THE BEACH ACCESS COMMITTEE PERFORMED AN EXCELLENT DETAIL STUDY PUBLISHED IN 2021 OF OUR DEMONS AND WHAT IS NEEDED TO PROTECT THEM. NONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THAT GROUP HAD BEEN QUICKLY INCORPORATED INTO THE ACTIONS AND REGULATIONS NATURE AND THE NCS PP HAVE GIVEN AMELIA A VERY GOOD DOING THEM BUT BECAUSE OF OUR TOTAL DEPENDENCE ON THE SYSTEM NEEDS PROTECTION PROVIDED BY THE CURRENT LDC.

I WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS WITH ANOTHER COMMISSIONERS EXTREMELY COST-EFFECTIVE AND LOW CHANGES THAT ARE AFFECTED IN THE ORDINANCE.

IF THESE DISCUSSIONS LEAD TO BETTER INFORMATION READY TO LEARN AND CHANGE MAYBE AND FRANKLY A LITTLE CONFUSED THAT ANYONE WOULD BE AFRAID TO CONSIDER THE COMMON SENSE AND RELATIVELY PAINLESS RECOMMENDED CHANGES THEY HAD YEARS TO WORK ON THE ESSENCE AMOUNTS NOT GIVEN ANY PRIORITY EVEN THOUGH PROMISES WERE MADE THIS WOULD BE LOOKED AT.

THIS AFFECTS THE LIVES OF EVERYONE. YOUR REPLY WAS THANKS FOR YOUR EMAIL WE AGREE THAT THE CITY CURRENTLY HAS A STRONG AS PROTECTION FOR THE NATURAL RESOURCES. WE'VE IMPROVED ENFORCEMENTS OF THE ORDINANCE AND WILL CONTINUE TO SEE POSITIVE RESULTS. I URGE THE COMMISSION TO KEEP YOUR WORD.

IT'S NOT HARD TO PASS THE ORDINANCE. THERE'S NO REASON THAT IT

SHOULDN'T BE PASS. >> THANK YOU DID I MISS ANYONE?

ARE THERE ANY OTHER REQUESTS TO SPEAK BUT I DID NOT GET TO? >> MR. DEAN PLEASE COME DOWN.

>> RICHARD TINA APRIL 1, 2004 DEMON AVENUE. IT IS A SAD DAY.

WE STARTED OUT WITH THE MINISTER. TALKING DOWN ON PEOPLE THAT HAVE TESTIFIED IN FRONT OF YOU. MOTHERSWITH KIDS . THEY ARE IN THIS COMMUNITY THAT FEEL THREATENED. IT'S TIME THAT WE THAT WE LIVE AND WE TAKE.

THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE SAYS LILIFE, LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR EVERYONE.

[02:10:03]

ENDORSE HOW THEY LIVE BUT SEE THEM AS A CITIZEN, YOUR CONSTITUENTS DESERVE PROTECTIO . THEIR PARENTS HAVE ASKED FOR IT.

LET'S START GIVING IT TO THEM. >> THANK YOU MR. DEAN. ARE THERE ANY OTHER PUBLIC

[10. CITY MANAGER REPORTS]

>> JUST REALLY QUICK I HAVE BEEN HERE IN THE COMMUNITY AND ATTENDING EACH AND EVERY BOARD

MEETING. >> WE GOT ON THE CITY ENGINEER REPORT.

>> I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIO . >> COMMISSIONER ROSS?

>> THE THREE QUESTIONS. NUMBER ONE. HE CAME TO MY ATTENTION I GUESS IT WAS LAST FRIDAY THAT WITH ALL THE PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST THE NOTES FOR THE CITY POLICY ON DEALING WITH NONPROFITS. THE CITY DOESN'T HAVE A POLICY AS TO HOW THEY DEAL WITH NONPROFITS. MY FIRST QUESTION IS HOW DO WE COME UP WITH THE POLICY AND HOW THE CITY WILL INTERACT WITH NONPROFITS? IF YOU CAN ADDRESS THAT WITH HOW WE MIGHT GO FORWARD WITH SOME KIND OF POLICY. I BELIEVE EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW SO THAT NONPROFITS ARE TREATED THE SAME THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

>> MY SECOND IS THAT WE HAVE THE CITY COMMISSION VISITING. FINALLY IT WAS THE FESTIVAL THAT HAPPENED AND IT WAS A GREAT EVENT. WE WORK REALLY HARD TO COME UP WITH THE GREEN SPACE IN THE MIDDLE. WHAT HAPPENED WAS THE GREEN SPACE WASN'T FILLED OUT BUT WAS WITH FILLED OUT WAS THE PARKING LOT.

CONSIDER PUTTING IT ON THE GREEN SPACE IT WENT ON TO THE PARKING LOT SO THERE WAS NO

PARKING. >> I'M JUST GETTING AN UPDATE ON SOME OF THE ENGINEER

[11. CITY ENGINEER REPORTS]

THE ATLANTIC RECORDS SECTION IS A STABLE NATION OF THE AUDITORIUM.

WE DETERMINED THAT THAT SETTLEMENT ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE BUILDING OCCURRED WITH THE INITIAL CONSTRUCTION OVER 50 YEARS AGO. WE ARE ABLE TO DO SOME OTHER THINGS WITHOUT ARC FOR THAT. WE ARE MODIFYING IT AND WE WILL BE DOING AN ASSESSMENT WITH THE

[02:15:10]

WE HOPE WE DON'T DO SOMETHING THAT WE REGRET LATER. THE WATERFRONT DESIGN WE SEE THAT CONCEPT COME TO YOU IN THE FIRST PART OF DECEMBER. HOPEFULLY THAT'S DONE BY MARCH.

MARCHING FORWARD ON THE WITH THE MARINA DREDGING IS INTENDED TO START IN JANUARY.

WE PUSHED BACK A LITTLE BIT AND THAT'S PART OF THE SNOW SEASON. THE FOUR CHANNELRAM LEMON WE TALKED TO THEM MOVING FORWARD IT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO GO FARTHER WEST.

IF EACH ACCESS WALKOVER IS IN VARIOUS STAGES OF GETTING STARTED FOR YOU.

WE HAVE THREE DIFFERENT CONTRACTS THAT WILL BE GOING ON THE DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION PLAN THAT WE TALKED ABOUT SHOW THE PROPOSALS FOR THE DESIGN CONSULTANT AND WE HAD BACK IN A WEEK OR TWO SO THAT WE COULD TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AND KEEP THAT GOING.

MOVE FORWARD AND WAS SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THE END OF DECEMBER. IN THE FIRST PART OF JANUARY WE WILL BE DONE WITH THAT. WITH THE FDO T ATLANTIC AVENUE AND WE ARE WAKING FOR THEM TO

COME UP WITH THEIR CULTURAL RESOURCES. >> THANK YOU CHARLIE IF I HEARD YOU CORRECTLY I ALMOST THOUGHT MY EARS DIDN'T HEAR IT. THERE IS NO MAJOR PROBLEM.

ONLY FIGURE OUT WHAT KIND OF POLICY THEY WILL USE SO THEY WENT IN AND WE LOOKED AT IT TO DETERMINE NURSING SETTLING. THEREFORE SETTLING THE MONEY. WE TAKE CARE OF THE CRACKS IN

THE NON-MASONARY WALLS THAT HAVE BEEN THERE FOR A WHILE. >> THAT'S GREAT NEWS.

I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT. THE OTHER THING I HEARD THAT WAS AMAZING IS THAT YOU ARE RESEARCHING ESCAMBIA AND MAKING SURE THAT IT WILL BE THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

>> WE RUN MODELS ON STORM WATERS WE CAN SEE WHERE IT IMPACTS AND WHAT DOESN'T.

>> LASTLY I DIDN'T HEAR ENOUGH ABOUT SLIDERS BUT I SWEAR I SAW PEOPLE WORKING ON THE BEACH

BOARDWALK SLIDERS IS THAT CORRECT? >> YOU TALKING ABOUT SEASIDE.
