[4.1 AIRPORT ANNUAL REPORT - Airport Manager Nate Coyle will provide an annual operations report]

WE'LL START WITH MR. NATE COYLE FOR OUR AIRPORT ANNUAL REPORT.

COME ON UP. >> COMMISSIONERS, NATE COYLE AIRPORT--. IT'S LOADING.

ALL RIGHT GOOD EVENING THIS IS THE ANNUAL REPORT FOR AIRPORT MANAGER I'M NATE COYLE. AND WE'LL HAVE THE BEAUTIFUL SLIDES. SO QUICK OVERVIEW WE'RE GOING TO GO OVER CURRENT AIRPORT STAFFING.

I THINK THE COMMISSION OBVIOUSLY IS WELL AWARE OF THE ROLE THAT OUR AIRPORT SERVES IN THE COMMUNITY BUT JUST TO DISCUSS THE ROLE AND THE SERVICES WE'RE PROVIDING CURRENTLY AT THE AIRPORT. SOME OPERATIONAL INFORMATION TRY AND HELP YOU UNDERSTAND HOW THE AIRPORT'S OPERATING CURRENTLY. TAKE A LOOK AT THE CAPITAL PLAN. WHAT'S HAPPENING THIS YEAR AND WHAT WE'RE PLANNING FOR FUTURE YEARS.

AND THEN I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE AIRPORT MASTER PLAN AND THE IMPORTANCE OF THAT TO THE AIRPORT AND HOW IT'S AFFECTING OUR PLANNING NOW AND WHAT'S COMING FORWARD THAT YOU'LL BE SEEING IN THE FUTURE MONTHS IN THE MASTER PLAN PROCESS AND TAKE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU AT THE TAIL END.

SO FIRST STAFFING NOT IMMENSELY DIFFERENT FROM THE PAST.

THE PIECE THAT'S DIFFERENT IS WE'RE OPERATING UNDER A CONTRACT SCENARIO WHERE MY POSITION AND CALEB SENSENBAUER OUR AIRPORT DEPUTY MANAGER EARNED A CONTRACT POSITION.

WE'RE APPROACHING HALFWAY IN THAT CONTRACT.

TO THE INITIAL TERM OF THAT CONTRACT.

AND THE OPERATION SUPER INTEND FULL-TIME EMPLOYEE BOBBY-- AND DAVE BROUGHTEN PART-TIME ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT HAS BEEN DOING ABOUT 20 HOURS A WEEK FOR ROUGHLY FIVE OR SIX YEARS AT THE AIRPORT. SO AS YOU KNOW THE AIRPORT'S A GENERAL AVIATION AIRPORT. WE SERVE A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT ROLES IN THE COMMUNITY FROM RECREATIONAL FLYING TO COMMERCIAL FLYING ACTIVITY FOR NON-SCHEDULED CHARTER SERVICES.

WE SUPPORT MILITARY AVIATION ACTIVITY.

OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE A NEW LIFEFLIGHT TENANT BUT ACTIVITY THAT COMES IN AND DEALS WITH THE AIRPORT PRETTY OFTEN.

AND WE HAVE SOME OTHER OPERATIONS OPERATING FROM THE AIRPORT SUCH AS SIGHTSEEING. AND FLIGHT SCHOOLS THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS. WE CURRENTLY HAVE EIGHT BUSINESSES THAT ARE BASE TENANT BUSINESSES THAT ARE LISTED THERE FOR YOU. ONE OF OUR NEW TENANTS BASE TENANTS AT THE AIRPORT THIS YEAR IS AIR METHODS.

AND FLIGHT OPERATIONS. THEY'VE GOT THE LIFE FLIGHT HELICOPTER OUT WHERE THE OLD MCGILL AVIATION HANGAR IS.

AND OUR INTENT IS TO REDEVELOP THAT HANGAR AND THE PROJECT TO FUND THE REDEVELOPMENT THAT HAN FWAR PUT SPACE BACK IN AND THEY'LL OPERATE THERE AS A PERMANENT TENANT OR OUR

[00:05:03]

SLIDE PLEASE. WE HAVE A FEW COMMUNITY PARTNERS THAT WE WORK WITH. CLOSELY AT THE AIRPORT.

I THINK YOU'D PROBABLY ENGAGE WITH MANY OF THESE BEFORE EVER.

THE FRIENDS FERNANDIA AVIATION. THAT DOES STEM AVIATION FOR A LOT OF OUR SCHOOLS. CLASSES IN THE COMMUNITY.

AND THEY ALSO RAISE FUNDS FOR AVIATION-BASED SCHOLARSHIPS.

AND HOST WINGS AND WHEELS EVENT AT THE AIRPORT WHICH WAS A FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO HELP THEM RAISE FUNDS FOR SCHOLARSHIPS THAT THEY ISSUE THROUGH THEIR PROGRAM.

THIS AIRCRAFT ASSOCIATION EAA MOST NOTABLY KNOWN FOR THE YOUNG EAGLES EVENT YOU SEE. WE HAD ONE LAST WEEKEND WHERE THEY PROVIDE FREE FLIGHTS FOR YOUTH BETWEEN THE AGES OF 8 AND 17. ANOTHER NON-PROFIT NATIONAL ORGANIZATION. AND THEY ALSO RAISE FUNDS THAT HELP PARTICIPATE IN THE NASSAU SCHOOL DISTRICTS FLIGHT TRAINING PROGRAM WHERE WE'RE PROVIDING FLIGHT TRAINING FOR CHILDREN IN OUR LOCAL SCHOOLS AND HERE THEY HELP FUND THAT PROCESS WITH CHILDREN. REACH A CERTAIN POINT IN THE FLIGHT TRAINING PROCESS AND GIVE SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS TO HELP THEM GET TO THE FINISH LINE AND GET A PILOT'S LICENSE.

SIMILAR PATROL SQUAD HERE GOVERNMENT SPONSORED AGENCY.

PATROL ABROAD SERVES A NUMBER OF FUNCTIONS FROM SEARCH AND RESCUE. THEY PARTICIPATE IN DISASTER RELEASE. THEY ALSO DO SOME STANDARD AVIATION AND EDUCATION WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.

AND SUPPORT TO THE AIR FORT WHEN THEY ARE FLYING NON-COMBAT TRAINING MISSIONS WITHIN THE STATE.

AND THEY ARE HOSTED OUT HERE WITH AN AIRPLANE HANGAR AT THE AIRPORT. SO THERE'S A LOT OF NUMBERS ON THIS SLIDE BUT JUST SOME BASIC INFORMATION.

SOME OPERATIONAL DATA AND SOME TREND DATA AND SOME CONTEXT ON SOME OF THE NEXT SLIDES. FROM AN OPERATIONAL PERSPECTIVE, IF YOU TAKE THE ANNUAL-- TAKE OUT SOME LANDING FROM THE CALENDAR YEAR. 2025 CALENDAR YEAR WE SHOWED-- 625 LANDINGS AND TAKE-OFFS. IF YOU LOOK AT THAT IN COMPARISON, HISTORICALLY ONE OF THE LAST MASTER PLAN WAS DONE IN 2015, THE MASTERPLAN INDICATED ABOUT 47,700 OPERATIONS OR LANDINGS AND TAKE-OFFS PER YEAR.

THE ONE COMMENT I'LL MAKE ON THAT IS WHEN YOU HAVE BETTER ACCESS TO HELP US TRACK THAT FLIGHT INFORMATION NOW THROUGH SOME OF THE SATELLITE TECHNOLOGY YOU'RE AWARE OF.

IT WAS LESS ACCURATE WHEN THE LAST MASTERPLAN WAS DONE.

WE CERTAINLY HAVE BETTER INFORMATION NOW TO GET US MORE ACCURATE OPERATIONAL INFORMATION AT THE CURRENT TIME WITH SATELLITE TECHNOLOGY. SO THAT'S ABOUT A 24% INCREASE FROM 2015 WHEN THE MASTER PLAN WAS DONE.

BASED AIRCRAFT IN 2017 WE HAD 62 TOTAL BASED AIRCRAFT IN 2026. WE SHOW 84.

WHAT WE CALL CONFIRMED BASED AIRCRAFT ON OUR WILL IT.

IT'S ABOUT A 35% INCREASE OF BASED AIRCRAFT.

OUR TEAM HANGAR WAITING LIST HAS GROWN SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE YEARS. 2017 WHEN I GOT HERE WAS ABOUT 31. WE CURRENTLY SIT AT 95 MAYBE 96 AS OF TODAY PIP THINK SOMEBODY WAS CALLING WHEN I WAS IN THE OFFICE. SO SIGNIFICANT INCREASE THERE.

FUEL FLOWAGE IS FUEL THAT'S PUMPED INTO THE FUEL TANKS AT THE AIRPORTS. NOT FUEL THAT'S SOLD.

THE AIRPORT TAXES THAT FUEL. AND IT COMES BACK TO AIRPORT AS REVENUE AT 8 CENTS A GALLEN AND WE'VE SEEN ABOUT A 69% INCREASE AND 531,000 GALLONS HERE IN THE LAST CALENDAR YEAR.

ABOUT 85% OF THAT FUEL FLOWED INTO TANKS AS JET FUEL ROUGHLY.

SO SOME CONTEXT TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THE AIRPORT EXISTS WITHIN THE STATE. THIS IS A SLIDE I PULLED FROM THE STATE OF FLORIDA FROM FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION. A LOT OF INFORMATION HERE.

YEAR OVER YEAR GROWTH IN THE LAST YEAR OF THE STATE SAW ABOUT 17% INCREASE IN AVIATION FLIGHT ACTIVITY IN THE STATE.

CLASSIFY DIFFERENT LEVELS OF ACTIVITY AT THE REPORT.

SO YOU CAN SEE THERE WHAT THEY CALL TYPICAL VERSUS HIGH INTENSITY. THE MEDIAN NUMBER FOR TYPICAL ACTIVE AIRPORT IS ABOUT 83,000 LANDINGS AND PICK-UPS A YEAR.

YOU GET TO THE 95TH PERCENTILE IT'S ABOUT 316,000 OPERATIONS A YEAR. THOSE ARE AIRPORTS LIKE MIAMI INTERNATIONAL. DAYTONA AND SOME HEAVY OPERATIONAL AIRPORTS. SEASONALLY APRIL IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BUSIEST MONTH OF AVIATION WITHIN THE STATE.

MORE REGIONALLY THIS SLIDE GIVES SOME CONTEXT HERE IN NORTH FLORIDA. SO THESE ARE SOME AIRPORTS UP HERE IN NORTHEAST FLORIDA WHERE WE'VE THREW THE STATE PULLED SOME ANNUAL OPERATIONAL DATA FROM LAST YEAR.

SO WE'RE UP IN THE VERY NORTHEAST CORNER ABOUT 1500,000 LANDINGS AND TAKE-OFFS FOR THE YEAR.

AND AS YOU KIND OF GO SOUTH YOU CAN SEE JACKSON INTERNATIONAL ABOUT A HUNDRED THOUSAND. AIRPORT ABOUT 157,000.

CEASELE IS 88,000. ST. AUGUSTINE PRETTY CLOSE

[00:10:05]

>> CAN I INTERRUPT WITH A QUICK QUESTION.

IS OPERATION A LANDING. TAKE-OFF IS A SEPARATE

OPERATION? >> A LANDING AND A TAKE-OFF.

NO, THEY ARE SEPARATE. >> THEY ARE TWO.

>> ABSOLUTELY. YEAH.

AS YOU GO, TYPICALLY AS YOU GO FURTHER SOUTH IN FLORIDA, YOU'LL SEE HIGHER VOLUMES. YOU'LL ALSO SEE HIGHER INTENSITY OF SOME OF THAT FLIGHT TRAINING TRAFFIC WE SEE UP HERE FOR THE DAYTONA AREA IN SOUTH OF THERE IT'S VERY BUSY.

SO WE LOOK AT THE AIRPORT THIS YEAR AND TAKE A LOOK AT OUR PROJECTS THAT ARE ONGOING. WE HAVE SEVERAL PROJECTS WE'RE WORKING THON YEAR. THE FIRST IN WHICH WHICH ARE TALKED ABOUT. I HAVE SOME SLIDES I'LL TALK TO IT IN BETTER DETAIL. IS THE AIRPORT MASTER PLAN.

I'M GOING TO HOLD OFF AND TALK BUT IT'S FUNDED PRIMARILY BY THE F. A. THERE'S SOME GRANT FUNDING IN THAT PROJECT FROM FDOT AND A VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE IN THERE FROM THE AIRPORT TO HELP SUPPORT THAT PROJECT.

I'LL GIVE YOU MORE DETAIL ON THAT AND SOME SLIDES COMING UP.

THE ROADWAY REHABILITATION. THAT PROJECT'S COMPLETE.

SO THAT REPAVED SEVERAL OF OUR EARLY TAXINGS.

PUT IN THE FIRST ROUND OF T HAN GARROS STALLED IN THE AIRPORT IN THE LATE '8 1K30S REPAVED A SECTION OF THE ENTRY ROAD WHERE TENANTS ACCESSED THE T HANGAR AREA WE COMPLETED A MONTH AND A HALF AGO. SEVERAL DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS.

RIGHT NOW WE'RE IN THE DESIGN PHASE OF THAT PROJECT.

HUNDRED PERCENT FUNDED BY THE STATE.

WE'LL INSTALL A CULVERT AND SAFETY MORE OF RUNWAYS AND FIX THEM. FAILING INFRASTRUCTURE WE HAVE STORM WATER ON THE AIRPORT AND WE'RE DESIGNING T HANGARS ON THE AIRPORT FOR DEVELOPMENT AS WELL.

AN F DOT GRANT WE'VE HAD FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

THAT'S CONSIDERED WHAT I CALL AN OLD DOG.

WHERE WE HAVE A LIMITED AMOUNT OF TIME TO DESIGN AND EXECUTE.

WE'VE BASED ON SOME OF OUR CONVERSATIONS IN HERE WE'VE MOVED THE LOCATION AT THE SOUTH END OF START DESIGNING AND MEET THE TIMELINE REQUIREMENTS OF THAT GRANT.

THIS IS THE LIST OF SOME UPCOMING CAPITAL PROJECTS THAT YOU'LL SEE IN THE CAPITAL MOVING FORWARD.

THE MASTERPLAN WILL CONTINUE INTO THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR.

I'VE GOT A SLIDE THAT'LL SHOW YOU THE TIMELINE OF THAT PROJECT. 1331 REHABILITATION THE NEXT SLIDE WHEN I GET THERE WILL SHOW SOME OF THIS INFORMATION.

BUT THIS IS A PROJECT WE'VE BEEN PLANNING FOR AT THE AIRPORT FOR SIX OR SEVEN YEARS. IT'S A MAJOR REHABILITATION PROJECT TO REHABILITATE THAT RUNWAY.

ALSO ONE OF THE REASONS THAT WE ARE CONDUCTING THE MASTERPLAN UPDATE TO PREPARE OURSELVES. PLAN APPROPRIATELY.

WE HAVE SOME OLD GEOMETRY ON THE AIRPORT THAT WE NEED TO PLAN THROUGH AND FIGURE OUT BEFORE WE SPEND 6 TO $9 MILLION TO REHABILITATE THAT RUN SCOMBAI SOME ASSOCIATED GEOMETRY WITH IT. I PUT TO BE DECIDED ON THERE BECAUSE WE ARE AS A PART OF THAT PROJECT THE F.A. WILL APPROVE AND SELECT ONE OF THE ALTERNATIVES WE'VE LOOKED AT IN THE MASTER PLAN FOR DESIGN. THAT INFORMATION SITTING WITH THE F.A. HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED YET.

SO WE REALLY CAN'T NAIL DOWN THE ESTIMATE-- MORE THE F.A.

SHARE OF THAT PROJECT. TYPICALLY THE F.A. SHARE WILL BE 90% OF THE ELIGIBLE COMPONENT IN THE PROJECT.

WE HAD PLANNED. AND YOU HAVE ONE GRANT ON YOUR AGENDA THIS EVENING. OVER FOUR YEARS.

SEVERAL PHASES OF GRANT FUNDING FROM THE STATE.

ACCUMULATED TO $3.5 MILLION TO ALSO ASSIST IN THAT PROJECT.

REHABILITATING THE RUNWAY. TAX EXTENSION ANOTHER PROJECT WE LISTED THERE. THAT WAS AN EXTENSION BASED ON EARLIER DISCUSSIONS OF USE. I PUT TO BE DECIDED THERE.

I KNOW WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THE FINAL PROCESS OF THAT TO DISCUSS WHICH SIDE THE CITY WOULD LIKE TO PURSUE AN ACQUISITIONAL PROPERTY THERE. WE'VE HAD SOME RECENT DISCUSSIONS WITH THE F.A. IN THAT AND SO WE HAVE THAT INFORMATION I CAN'T GET YOU A GOOD ESTIMATE FOR WHAT THAT WILL COST MOVING FORWARD OR WHAT THAT TIMELINE LOOKS LIKE.

THE T HANGAR DEVELOPMENT PROJECT WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH CONSTRUCTION PHASE IN THE FOLLOWING FISCAL YEAR.

WE HAVE A PENDING WORK ORDER FOR THE ACQUISITION OF A FIRE VEHICLE THAT'S INTENDED TO SERVE THE AIRPORTS AND THE FIRE STATION. THAT'S BEEN ON ORDER FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW AND THE FINAL FUTURE PROJECT IS TAXWAY BRAVO OR B REHABILITATION AND YOU CAN SEE I'VE DRAWN SOME CIRCLES IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER. THAT'S WHAT I WAS REFERENCING WHEN I SAID WE HAD SOME OLDER GEOMETRY THAT BY CURRENT DAY F.A.A. STANDARDS WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT BEFORE WE CAN DESIGN THAT PROJECT. AND THAT'S WHAT THE F.A. IS LOOKING AT WITH US NOW. THAT WAS ONE OF THE DRIVERS FOR THE MASTER PLAN UPDATE. ONE OF THEM BUT GETTING THAT FIGURED OUT BEFORE WE INVEST SIGNIFICANT FUNDS IN DESIGNING CONSTRUCTION WAS REALLY IMPORTANT.

FROM A PAVEMENT PERSPECTIVE WE'VE MADE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS OVER SEVERAL YEARS LAST FIVE OR SIX YEARS AT THE AIRPORT.

ONLY 1331 TAX BRAVO REALLY LAST TWO PAVEMENT SECTIONS THAT WERE IN NEED OF UPCOMING REHABILITATION.

WE'LL BE IN A REALLY GOOD POSITION AT THE AIRPORT.

SO I MENTIONED THE MASTER PLAN. AS YOU KNOW WE STARTED THAT PROCESS THIS YEAR. JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT

[00:15:01]

WE WERE AT THE TAIL END OF THAT TIMELINE ANYWAY.

AND WE IDENTIFY WITH THE F.A. THE NEED TO PLAN AND CONFIRM OUR DESIGN INTENT WITH SOME OF THE PROJECTS THAT ARE COMING.

AND THAT'S WHAT LED TO THE NEXT MASTER PLAN PROCESS.

PURPOSE IN THE MASTER PLAN IS TO LOOK AT YOUR SHORT TERM AND MEDIUM AND LONG-TERM FAR OUT PLANNING PERIOD.

DEVELOPMENT NEEDS TO MEET AVIATION DEMAND AT THE AIRPORT.

AS PART OF THAW IDENTIFY WHAT'S HAPPENING AT THE AIRPORT NOW.

YOU MAKE SOME FORECAST WHICH THE F.A. APPROVES AS TO WHAT YOU PROJECT WILL OCCUR IN THE FUTURE OPERATIONALLY.

AND YOU MAKE YOUR PLANNING FROM THAT INFORMATION THAT YOU AGREE UPON WITH THE F.A. AFTER THE MASTER PLAN PROCESS.

YOU ALSO UPDATE THE LAYOUT PLAN AND OUR PROPERTY MAP FOR THE AIRPORT WHICH IS IMPORTANT AS YOU KNOW THE EXHIBIT AS.

PROPERTY MAP WHICH SHOWS WHERE ALL YOUR OBLIGATED PROPERTY IS AND LEADS TO THE CHALLENGES WE FACE AND THE DISCUSSION SOMETIMES. THAT'S A PICTURE OF WHAT THE CURRENT AIRPORT LAYOUT PLAN LOOKS LIKE.

SO SOMEWHAT COMPLEX BUT THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION THAT GOES INTO THE PLANNING AND SURVEY WORK BUT COMES OUT WITH A PLANNING THOOL WE USE FOR THE NEXT TEN OR 12 YEARS TO PLAN PROUR JEKTS FROM WITH THE FA AND THE STATE.

PLANNING FROM THAT LV IS WHAT WE CALL.

SEW MASTER PLAN PROCESSES IS GUIDED BY REGULATORY GUIDANCE.

THERE'S TWO PARTNERS WE HAVE IN THAT PROCESS.

THE F.A. AND FDOT. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THERE'S A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GUIDES THAT DRIVES THAT PROCESS.

WHAT WE LOOK AT AND HOW WE ANALYZE IT.

THERE'S SEVERAL PIECES OF INFORMATION WHICH ARE SHOWN THE NEXT SLIDE FROM WHICH THE FA AND DD.O.T. APPROVE.

AS WE'RE PLANNING THROUGH THAT PROCESS, THEY HAVE APPROVAL AUTHORITY. SO WE WORK CLOSELY WITH THEM AND SHARE INFORMATION SECTION BY SECTION AS WE'RE GOING THROUGH THE PROJECT TO REVIEW INFORMATION WITH THEM AND PLAN APPROPRIATELY. AND THIS IS KIND OF A TIMELINE OF WHAT THAT PROCESS LOOKS LIKE.

WE'RE AT THE FRONT END OF THE PROCESS.

SO WE'VE DONE AERIAL SURVEYING AND MAPPING SO AERIAL SURVEYING AND MAPPING WHAT THAT DOES IS IT LOOKS AT A LOT OF OUR OBSTRUCTIONS AROUND THE AIRPORT TO MAKE SURE THAT PROTECTED SERVICES ARE CLEAR. MAP OUT WHAT OUR EXISTING CONDITIONS ARE AT THE AIRPORT. SO THOSE ARE FACILITIES.

TAXIWAY, RUNWAY, SAFETY AREAS AND REPORT THAT INFORMATION AS YOUR BASELINE OF WHERE WE ARE TODAY.

THE FORECAST UPDATE IS THE INFORMATION WE'VE PUT TOGETHER.

IF YOU LOOK THERE'S SOME THINGS SURROUNDED IN BLUE ON THIS SLIDE. THOSE ARE THE THINGS WE SENT TO THE F.A. AND THE D.O.T. TO APPROVE.

BEFORE WE START ANY PLANNING ACTIVITY THE F.A. APPROVES WE'RE PROJECTING TO BE THE FORECAST OF THE AIRPORT.

AND THERE'S SOME IMPORTANT THINGS IN THERE.

WE IDENTIFY NOT ONLY OPERATIONS THAT ARE EXPECTED AT THE AIRPORT. WE ALSO IDENTIFY WHAT'S CALLED THE CRITICAL AIRCRAFT GROUP. AND SO EVERYTHING WE PLAN FROM IS BASED ON THE MOST DEMANDING AIRCRAFT THAT THE AIR SPORT SEEING AT A CERTAIN LEVEL OPERATIONAL ACTIVITY.

SO FAR IT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED BUT I CAN TELL YOU FROM THE LAST MASTER PLAN TO NOW THE CRITICAL AIRCRAFT SIZE CAPACITY IS COMING DOWN. BASED ON SOME OF THE ACTIVITY FROM THE LAST MAST DRL PLAN. LAST PLAN HAD A GULF STREAM OF FOUR AND REDUCED 422 DOWN TO FALCON WHICH IS SLIGHTLY SMALLER AIRCRAFT. SO THE ACTIVITY AND THE SIZE OF THE AIRPLANES ARE NOT GOING UP FROM A CRITICAL AIRCRAFT PERSPECTIVE AT THE AIRPORT. I'M SORRY GO BACK.

GEOMETRY STUDIES PEACE WORK IDENTIFYING ALTERNATIVES FOR RUNWAY 1331 AND YOU CAN SEE THERE'S SEVERAL STEPPS ONCE WE APPROVE THIS FORECAST WE GO THROUGH FROM DEMAND CAPACITY.

WE PUT ALTERNATIVES TOGETHER. AND THERE ARE SOME TOUCHES WITH THE COMMUNITY AS WE PUT INFORMATION TOGETHER TO GET FEEDBACK ON. THERE'S ALSO ONE PIECE IN THERE I'VE IDENTIFIED AS A PART OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW IN YOUR MASTER PLAN YOU LOOK AT THE LAND USE COMPATIBILITY.

AND YOU ESTABLISH YOUR CONTOURS.

THAT'S SOMETHING WE'LL BRING IN CONSULTANTS FROM THE MASTER PLAN TEAM AND PRESENT THAT INFORMATION TO YOU AND DISCUSS NOISE. ANY WAYS WE CAN ADDRESS OR MITIGATE NOISE FROM THE ACTIVITIES AT THE AIRPORT WOULD BE A PART OF THAT DISCUSSION. IN THE PROCESS OF ESTABLISHING AIRPORT LAYOUT PLAN. PROPERTY MAP AND THEN BRING YOU A FINAL IMPROVED MASTER PLAN. OVERALL ABOUT AN 18 MONTH PROSXES STILL ON THE FRONT OF IT WAITING FOR THE F.A. TO APPROVE BEFORE WE CAN START THE MASTER PLAN PROCESS.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE. ANY QUESTIONS FROM ME MANY.

>> THANK YOU MR. COYLE. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING OUR AIRPORT MASTER PLAN UPDATE? GOING ONCE. GOING TWICE.

>> IMPRESSIVE. >> THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD

[4.2 BUDGET SUMMARY - Comptroller Susan Carless will review the April 2026 budget summary and be available to answer any questions.]

WORK. >> GREAT JOB.

HUGE PROCESS. >> ALL RIGHT.

THAT'LL MOVE US ALONG INTO ITEM 4.2 OUR BUDGET SUMMARY WITH OUR COMP TROLLER MS. SUSAN CARLESS. COME ON UP.

>> GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. CAN YOU HEAR ME OKAY?

[00:20:02]

SO THE FISCAL YEAR IS OFFICIALLY MORE THAN HALFWAY OVER. AND AS USUAL, WE START WITH THE GENERAL FUND REVENUES. AND ON THE BOARD SHOWS THE PERCENTAGES BY SOURCE FOR THE MONTH OF APRIL.

SO JUST A LITTLE DIFFERENT PRESENTATION.

IS THIS NOT SHOWING FOR YOU? >> NOT YET.

>> LET'S TRY THAT AGAIN. OKAY IT HELPS IF I HIT THE RIGHT BUTTON. OKAY THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE REVENUE PERCENTAGES BY SOURCE FOR APRIL.

OVERALL REVENUES ARE TRENDING WELL.

86.8% OF BUDGETED. COMPARED TO SAME PERIOD LAST YEAR WE WERE AT 80.5% OF BUDGETED.

YEAR TO DATE RECEIPTS BY TYPE ARE VERY SIMILAR TO LAST YEAR AND & EXCEED THE SAME PERIOD BY ABOUT $1.7 MILLION AND IT'S PRIMARILY THE RESULT OF INCREASED PROPERTY TAX RECEIPTS. MOVING ONTO GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES, JUST A REMINDER THE GENERAL FUND PROVIDES CITY WIDE SERVICES. AND WE GROUP THOSE BY THE VARIOUS CITY DEPARTMENTS, BY FUNCTION.

SO THE SLIDE HERE SHOWS OUR SERVICES GROUP BY FUNCTION AND THE PERCENTAGE OF THE EXPENDITURES OF THE OVERALL TOTAL GENERAL FUND BUDGET. EACH FUNCTION ACCOUNTS FOR.

SO THE DEPARTMENT'S EXCEEDING OUR BENCHMARK FOR THIS PERIOD WE JUST HAVE ONE GENERAL FUND DEPARTMENT THAT EXCEEDS THE BENCHMARK. AND THAT IS THE BUILDING FLOODPLAIN BECAUSE IT'S A VERY SMALL BUDGET.

AND THE SOFTWARE PURCHASE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR WEIGHS HEAVILY ON THAT. LIT WORK ITSELF OUT AS THE YEAR GOES ON AND THAT WAS THE CITY VIEW SOFTWARE PRESENTATION AND EVEN THOUGH IT'S FOR THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT, IT'S CERTAIN FUNCTIONS THAT CANNOT BE PAID FOR OUT OF THE BUILDING ZPUND WE BUDGET THOSE IN THE GENERAL FUND.

FOR APRIL, THE ONLY SIGNIFICANT EXPENDITURE WE HAD WAS 35,000 FOR HAMILTON VENTILATORS AND THAT WAS FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. K YEAR TO DATE FROM REVENUE 60 EXPENDITURES BY $9.8 MILLION. FUND BALLENCE IS $1.1 MILLION GREATER THAN THIS TIME LAST YEAR.

AND THESE ARE OUR SPECIAL REVENUE FUND BALANCES.

ALL HAVE POSITIVE BALANCES. FUNDS FROM WHICH EXPENDITURES EXCEED REV KNEWS INCLUDE TREE TRUST, WASTE ORDER CAPACITY FEES. WATER CAPACITY FEES.

UTILITY TAX AND COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT.

THEN NO UNUSUAL RECEIPTS OR EXPENDITURES IN APRIL.

MOVING ONTO OUR CAP PAL IMPROVEMENT FUNDS.

EXPENDITURES FROM CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUNDS THIS PERIOD INCLUDE FROM FUND 330 WHICH IS OUR GENERAL FUND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND. 288,000 FOR THE SOUTH SECOND STREET LAND PURCHASE. 159,581 FOR STREET PAVING.

FROM OTHER CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS WHICH IS OUR FUND 315 OUR ARPA.

422,000 FOR AREA-- RANCH. AND THERE WERE NO SIGNIFICANT EXPENDITURES FROM THE WASTE WATER IMPROVEMENT FUND THIS PERIOD. OUR CAPITAL EXPANSION FUND IS ALSO CALLED OUR IMPACT FEES FUND.

YEAR TO DAY TOTALS ARE REFLECTED ON THE SLIDE AND THE EXPENDITURE OF 1.8 MILLION IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE CATEGORIES FOR THE ACQUISITION OF 115 NORTH SECOND STREET.

YEAR TO DATE RECREATION SPENDING INCLUDES 759,000 FOR THE WATER FRONT PART. 8,000 FOR-- AND 840,000 FOR THE M.O.K. SOFTBALL FIELDS. THE AGENDA PACKAGE INCLUDES A REPORT THAT'S GOT A LITTLE BIT MORE DATA FOR THE CAPITAL EXPANSION AND IT WILL SHOW YOU ANY BUDGETED EXPENDITURES THAT WE HAVEN'T ACTUALLY COMPLETED THE PURCHASES FOR YET.

OKAY FOR OUR ENTERPRISE FUNDS, YEAR TO DATE ALL ENTERPRISE FUNDS HAVE A POSITIVE POSITION MEANING THE INCOME FROM OPERATIONS EXCEEDS OPERATIONING EXPENSES.

SIGNIFICANT CAPITAL EXPENDITURES FOR APRIL INCLUDE AIRPORT 52,700 FOR THE AIRPORT MASTER PLAN.

34,348 FOR THE NORTH HANGARS. 133,76 FOR TAXI LANE AND

[00:25:05]

>> THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR MS. CARLESS? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

OKAY. >> CAN I USE THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO THANK YOU FOR LAST NIGHT'S TOWN HALL.

YOU AND THE CITY MANAGER ABOUT THE BUDGET 101.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO MISSED IT, THE CITY HAD A ONE HOUR BUDGET 101 MEETING LAST NIGHT. IT WAS EXCELLENT.

THEY DID IT FOR STAFF. SO IT WAS RECORDED.

SO YOU COULD GO ONLINE AND SEE IT.

AND IT JUST EXPLAINS LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE COMPLEXITY OF THE BUDGET AND ABOUT OUR TAXES. THAT'S IT.

[4.3 PROJECT/OPERATION UPDATES - Deputy City Manager Jeremiah Glisson will provide an update on pending projects and operations.]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> CITY MANAGER JEREMIAH

GLISSON. >> THANK YOU MAYOR.

CONNECTIVITY ISSUE BUS I'LL MOVE ON WITH THE PROJECT UPDATE HERE AS WE DO ONCE A MONTH. FIRST AND FOREMOST THE-- DEMOLITION PROJECT FINALLY SEEING TRAFFIC ON THAT.

CAN PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION IF NEEDED.

SCHEDULED TO GO OUT TO BID TOMORROW.

UP ABOUT 30 TO 40 DAYS AND WITH RESPECT WE SEE BID HERE IN JULY WITH CONSTRUCTION GETTING UNDER WAY IN AUGUST.

THE DOT G-- PROJECT THAT NEEDED TO HAPPEN BEFORE BRICKS DEM SCOMPLIGS THAT PROJECT IS COMPLETE.

AND THAT WILL BE THE NEW HOME WITH THE ANNUAL SLIP HOLDER BOATS THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN THE FOOTPRINT OF WHERE THE-- PROJECT WILL OCCUR AND BE RELOCATED.

ON THE-- PARK YOU ALL ARE AWARE OF COURSE EVERYONE IS AWARE AND HAS ATTENDED AND A GREAT GRAND OPENING.

WELL ATTENDED AND ON YOUR AGENDA ITEM TONIGHT IN THE REGULAR MEETING WILL BE ANNITE TOM CLOSE OUT THIS PROJECT AND CHANGE EXPENSES RELATED TO THIS PROJECT.

AS A REMINDER TOTALLY FUNDED FROM PARKS REC IMPACT FEES AND THE OVERAGES RELATED TO THAT COME FROM THAT AS WELL.

WATER FRONT PARK EXPANSION THIS IS THE AREA FORMERLY OCCUPIED-- THAT IS CURRENTLY IN DESIGN. WE'VE ALREADY HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS WITH SOME OF OUR ADVISORY BOARDS ABOUT THAT AREA. THERE'LL BE A TOWN HALL JUNE 3RD AT 6 P.M. TO TALK ABOUT THE ELEMENTS OF THIS PROJECT.

TWO THINGS. PRIORITY ONE IS THE WARD MEMORIAL CURRENTLY AT THE WEST END CENTRE STREET.

RELOCATION OF THAT TO THIS SECTION OF THE PARK AND THEN HOW THE PARK INTERFACES WITH THE BOAT RAMP AREA.

BECAUSE IT WILL TIE RIGHT INTO THAT.

PEDESTRIAN ACCESS ISSUE. OF COURSE IT'S A HIGHLY-- HOW DO WE MAKE SURE THAT MESHES CORRECTLY AND ACCOMPLISHES THE NEEDS OF BOTH PEDESTRIANS AND BOATERS.

ON THE GOLF COURSE, SINCE WE MET LAST OF COURSE WE HAD THE BAR OPENING. WE ALSO JUST FINISHED SOME IRRIGATION UPGRADES. EQUIPMENT RIDES.

GOLF FOR THIS YEAR HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.

JUST HEARD THAT OUR ALCOHOL SALES AT THE GOLF COURSE COMPARED TO LAST APRIL WERE UP 30%.

SO IT'S ALREADY SHOWN SOME ROI ON THAT INTERIOR CLUBHOUSE PROJECT. ON THE UTILITY SIDE OUR LIFT STATION GENERATE PROR JEKT IS COMPLETE FOR THIS YEAR.

WE HAVE ABOUT 50 LIFT STATIONS THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

ABOUT 33 OF THEM HAVE GENERATORS.

OF COURSE THAT'S A REGULARLY PLANNED ROTATION.

I THINK WE HAD THREE OR FOUR GENERATORS THIS YEAR THAT HAVE BEEN REPLACED THAT KEEPS EVERYTHING MOVING.

IN THE POWER OUTAGE THAT PROJECT IS DONE.

WE HAD A WATER MAIN RELOCATION PROJECT THAT WASN'T ON OUR RADAR THAT HAPPENED. THIS WAS TIED TO THE ROUND ABOUT CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AT BUCCANEER TRAIL.

THAT PROJECT HAS BEEN DONE. AS YOU KNOW THE REST OF THE PROJECT WE'VE ALL FELT THE PAIN OF THAT ONE, THAT PROJECT IS BEHIND US. BUCK ANEAR TRAIL IS OPEN IN WHICH WE COULD SEE THAT PROJECT COMPLETE IN JULY OR AUGUST OF THIS YEARER. SOME INNER WORKINGS OF THE WATER PLANTS THAT KEEPS EVERYTHING MOVING, WE HAVE A NUMBER OF SIZABLE PUMPS IN ONE TWO AND THREE THAT WOULD SCHEDULE REPLACEMENT. TAKES THE WATER UP INTO THE YOU TOER AND DISTRIBUTES IT ALL THROUGHOUT 120 MILE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM. I KNOW THOSE PUMPS HAVE BEEN CHANGED OUT. NO CHANGE IN SERVICE AS IT SHOULD BE. AND THEN OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANS IN FULL SWING.

EXPECT TO SEE THAT DRAFT PLAN FOR FISCAL YEAR 27 THROUGH 31 HERE THE FIRST OF JUNE. SORRY FOR THE LACK OF CONNECTIVITY HERE BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I'LL BE

HAPPY TO FIELD. >> THANK YOU MR. GILSSON.

[5. PUBLIC COMMENT REGARDING ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA OR THE CONSENT AGENDA]

[00:30:04]

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK AS WELL.

WE WILL MOVE ALONG TO ITEM FIVE PUBLIC COMMENTS FOR ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA. SO IF THERE IS SOMETHING NOT ON THIS AGENDA BUT YOU STILL WISH TO SPEAK PLEASE FILL OUT A FORM. FIRST SPEAKER MR. JACK EMIS

BER. >> JACK EMBER 1003 DURHAM STREET FERNANDINA BEACH. I'D KIND OF LIKE TO ADDRESS THE BOYCOTT OF CERTAIN BUSINESSES LOCALLY BELONGING TO THE SAME OW OWNER.

I THINK THE DEEPER ISSUE AT PLAY HERE IS NOT SINGLING OUT ONE PERSON, BUT IT IS THAT THE CITY HAS DENIED PUBLIC ITS VOICE IN PAID PARKING BY JUST STEAM ROLLING THE ISSUE.

AND THE VOTE IN AN UPCOMING REFERENDUM REGARDING THE RECALL. PEOPLE DON'T FEEL HEARD.

THEY DON'T FEEL VALIDATED. SO WHEN AMERICANS FEEL THAT THEIR RIGHTS ARE BEING MESSED WITH, THEY TEND TO GET INVENTED. THIS IS OUR HISTORY.

AND THIS IS IN OUR DNA. WHILE I DON'T AGREE WITH GOING INTO EXTREMES AND CROSSING THE BORDER AT THE LINES OF HUMAN CIVILITY IN TERMS OF PUBLIC PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL ATTACKS, I DO AGREE WITH MY FELLOW CITIZENS THAT THEY AREN'T BEING HEARD. AND THIS IS PROBABLY NOT THE ONLY FORM OF PROTEST. BUT PERSONALLY I'M NOT CROSSING THE PICKET LINE. AND I DO HOPE IT'S A SHORT-LIVED PROTEST. I HOPE THAT THE CITY RESOLVES THE WHOLE SITUATION AND BY THE WAY, AS IT TURNS OUT ON THIS PAID PARKING THING, IS NOT ALL FAIR AND SQUARE OR LEGAL.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU MR. EMBER.

NEXT WE HAVE MR. JAMES MILLER. >> MY NAME IS JAMES MILLER AND I LIVE AT 106 509 BLACKHAWK ROAD OF-- CITY.

THE FIRST SLIDE I'M ADDRESSING THE INCOME STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BUDGET REPORTS. SO RIGHT NOW IF YOU LOOK IN FRONT OF APRIL, THE BALANCE. SO SINCE I HAVE NO MODEL FOR WHAT SHOULD BE IN JUST HYPOTHESIZED.

STRAIGHT LINE THAT'S HIT FOR-- DETERMINE THE YEAR.

UNDER THE CURRENT WE DON'T HAVE TO SHOW OVER THERE.

THE BALANCE 418 SHORTFALL. STRAIGHT LINE.

AND I COULDN'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT THE DEVELOPMENT SHEET-- FROM SOME PRESENTATION I SAW. SO THAT'S WHAT I'VE GOT.

JUST NEEDS TO GET ADJUSTED. AS I UNDERSTAND IT, ALL THE SIGNS WERE COVERED. AND-- PARKING--.

TO ATTRACT HOW MUCH IMPACT THAT HAD ON THE-- JUST A QUESTION.

HAVEN'T WORKED FROM A LAPTOP IN A LONG, LONG TIME.

SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBERS FROM THE SPECIAL REVENUE FUND

[00:35:04]

AND AS I LOOKED INTO SIMPLY THE DRYING UP OF THE PERMITS I GUESS. AND DOES APRIL REPRESENT A CLOSER MATCH THAN WHAT THE ACTUAL PARKING INCOME WILL BE.

OR DOES MARCH REPRESENT A BETTER REPRESENTATION OF THAT? JUST FOR AGREEMENT I DID A WHAT IF ANALYSIS.

AND I USED APRIL AS THE TECHNICAL INCOME IN ORDER TO GET TO $1.5 MILLION, YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN AVERAGE OF 1.7 TIMES APRIL'S INCOME. IN ORDER TO GET THERE FOR THE

REST OF THE YEAR. >> THANK YOU MR. MILLER.

NEXT UP WE HAVE MR. FRANKLIN--. >> MY NAME IS FRANKLIN HEILMAN 15-- PLANTATION OAKS TERRACE. MR. MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION, THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO ME TONIGHT.

I'M JUST HERE TO VOICE MY OWN PERSONAL CONCERNS REGARDING WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THE LITIGATION BETWEEN THE CITY AND RYAM. I'M COMPLETELY AT A LOSS AS TO WHY THE EXECUTIVE SESSION WAS CANCELLED TONIGHT.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT'S ABOUT OR WHY.

WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHEN-- IF IT'S GOING TO BE RESKRULED AND WHEN THAT WILL HAPPEN. WE'RE VERY-- I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE ARE IN WHAT APPEARS TO BE A MEDIATION PROCESS. WE DON'T KNOW WHEN THE MEDIATIONS ARE SUPPOSED TO OCCUR.

WE'RE NOT GETTING ANY DATES ON THESE THINGS.

I DON'T BELIEVE JUST GIVING THE COMMUNITY THE DATES OF MEDIATIONS IN ANY WAY IS A PROBLEM WITH REGARD TO EXECUTIVE SESSION. EXECUTIVE SESSION IS ABOUT STRATEGY AND THE LEGAL PROCESS. ALL WE'RE ASKING FOR IS THE SCHEDULE SO WE KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

AND MY NUMBER ONE CONCERN IS BECAUSE WE'RE OPERATING.

THE CITY IS OPERATING UNDER AN ABATEOMMENT OF THE LAWSUIT.

THERE HAS BEEN NO ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY.

THERE'S BEEN NO SAFETY RISK STUDY.

THERE'S BEEN NO ECONOMIC IMPACT STUDY.

AND THERE'S BEEN NO NUISANCE STUDY.

SO NONE OF THOSE THINGS HAVE BEEN DONE BECAUSE OF THE ABATEMENT OF THE LAWSUIT. SO IT'S DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND HOW YOU GO TO MEDIATION. AND NEGOTIATE WITH ANYBODY WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW THE ANSWERS TO THOSE QUESTION FPS MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION IS WHETHER THEY REGARD WHETHER OR NOT THIS PROJECT GOES FORWARD. AND I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE CITY COMMISSION HAVE THAT INFORMATION.

I CAN TELL YOU THERE HAVE BEEN SOME CITIZENS THAT HAVE PROVIDED THAT TO THE CITY. THERE'S AN ECONOMIC IMPACT STATEMENT THAT WAS PROVIDED TO THE COMMISSION I UNDERSTAND.

A NUISANCE STUDY THAT WAS PROVIDED TO THE COMMISSION I UNDERSTAND. THESE WERE PREPARED BY CONCERNED CITIZENS. AND THEY ARE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. I JUST WANT TO REITERATE MY CONCERN IS WE'RE NOT GETTING THE DATES OF WHEN THESE MEDIATIONS ARE SUPPOSED TO OCCUR.

WE DON'T KNOW AT THIS POINT IS THERE GOING TO BE ANOTHER SCHEDULED EXECUTIVE SESSION? IS THERE A MEDIATION CURRENTLY SCHEDULED DOWN THE ROAD? WE DON'T KNOW.

AND THOSE ARE SIMPLE QUESTIONS THAT SHOULD BE ANSWERED IN ORDER FOR US TO HAVE SOME UNDERSTANDING AT LEAST WHERE THIS PROCESS IS GOING. I UNDERSTAND FULLY WHAT AN EXECUTIVE SESSION IS AND WHY YOU CAN'T DISCUSS THE LEGAL STRATEGIES THAT ARE DISCUSSED IN THAT EXECUTIVE SESSION.

IT'S IMPORTANT. IT'S A GOOD TOOL FOR YOU.

HOWEVER, THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE SHOULDN'T KNOW WHEN TO

SCHEDULING IS. >> THANK YOU.

I HAVE NO OTHER REQUESTS TO SPEAK ON ITEMS NOT ON THE

[6. CONSENT AGENDA]

DOES ANYBODY WISH TO PULL ONE OF THE TWO ITEMS FROM OUR CONSENT AGENDA? OR DO I HAVE A MOTION?

>> MOVE TO APPROVE. >> SECOND.

>> ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE MS. BEST PLEASE START THE VOTE. AND THAT MOTION PASSES 5-0

[7.1 BUDGET TRANSFER - AMELIA RIVER WATERFRONT PARK - RESOLUTION 2026- 69 APPROVING AMELIA RIVER WATERFRONT PARK FINAL PROJECT COST RECONCILIATION, RATIFYING CHANGE ORDERS; AUTHORIZING THE ASSOCIATED BUDGET TRANSFER; AUTHORIZING ADMINISTRATIVE CORRECTION OF SCRIVENER'S ERRORS; AUTHORIZING EXECUTION; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Synopsis: Approving Amelia River Waterfront Park, Project #24050, final reconciliation costs, Change Orders, and associated budget transfer, in the amount of $575,380.]

[00:40:09]

MR. GLISSON LOOKS TEED UP. >> THANK YOU MAYOR.

THIS IS CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 2026-9 WHICH MAKES AMENDMENTS TO THE WATER FRONT PARK CAPITAL PROJECT FUND.

THIS IS COMPLICATED ONE, BUT THE ORIGINAL PROJECT WAS BUDGETED AT 2,001908. WE DID HAVE SOME CHANGE ORDERS.

SOME OF THOSE WERE WITHIN MY AUTHORITY.

AND OTHERS REQUIRE FORMAL COMMISSION APPROVAL.

THE CITY ALSO PROVIDED SOME SERVICES.

UTILITY RELOCATION PARKERING SIGNAGE.

TREE INSTALLATION AND FURNITURE INSTALLATION THAT WAS NOT PART.

THE CITY PROVIDED THOSE SERVICES.

THE TOTAL PROJECT COST IS $2,684,389.

FUNDING IS PROVIDED THROUGH IMPACT FEE REVENUE.

THE TREE FUND REVENUE. AND GRANT FUNDING.

AND WE ARE REQUESTING A COUPLE OF BUDGET TRANSFERS WE NEED TO DO TO FINISH THIS UP. THEY DEFINITELY WILL NOT EXCEED 575,380S THE. WE BELIEVE THEY'LL BE SLIGHTLY LESS THAN THAT. BASED ON SOME OF THE PAY APPS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN SUBMITED.

BUT DOW HAVE FULL BACK-UP IN YOUR PACT.

AND MR. CROMOFF ARE BOTH HERE IF YOU WOULD LIKE ADDITIONAL

INFORMATION. >> THANK YOU.

DO I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR COMMISSION FROM STAFF ON THIS

ITEM? >> I HAVE A QUESTION.

>> YOU HAVE THE FLOOR. MR. CROMMA.

SO THESE FLOORS INCLUDE THE RETAINAGE TO THE CONTRACTOR?

>> THAT IS CORRECT, THEY DO. >> AND WHAT ABOUT THE GUARANTEES AND WARRENTIES THAT THE CONTRACTOR HAS PROVIDED IN THE CONTRACT? HOW ARE THOSE GOING TO BE

MANAGED? >> THOSE ARE ALL INCLUDED IN THE CONTRACT. SO WE WILL PROBABLY-- FIRST OF ALL WE HAVE SOME FINAL ITEMS TO WORK OUT AS YOU KNOW.

SOME OF THEM ARE THE CONTRACTOR'S RESPONSIBILITY.

IF THEY ARE, THEY ARE UNDER CONTRACT TO DELIVER ONE YEAR WARRANTY FOR EVERYTHING WE HAVE.

THERE'S ALSO A SEPARATE WARRANTY ON THE TREES.

BECAUSE WE BID THAT SEPARATELY. THAT'S ALSO A ONE YEAR WARRANTY. WITH THE CONTRACTOR THERE.

SO ENFORCE ALL OF THOSE AND WE'LL HAVE SOME RETAINAGE AVAILABLE UNTIL THOSE ARE COMPLETE.

>> SO ARE WE GOING TO PAY OFF THE RETAINAGE BEFORE THE WARRANTY PERIOD EXPIRES? OR WILL WE HOLD THE RETAINAGE.

>> WE HOLD THAT UNTIL EVERYTHING IS COMPLETE.

>> OKAY. >> AND THERE'S AN ENTIRE PROCESS WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH TO COMPLETE AND THAT IS PART OF

IT. >> OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU COMMISSIONER.

ANYWHERE QUESTIONS WHILE WE HAVE HIM HERE?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> VOTE TO APPROVE.

>> SECOND. >> MOTION AND A SECOND.

ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION? >> JUST HAVE TO SAY AGAIN HOW GORGEOUS THE WATERFRONT PARK IS.

>> AGREED. >> AND THANK YOU STAFF FOR ALL

THE HARD WORK. >> THAT MOTION PASSES 5-0 WHICH

[8.1 (Legislative) CODE AMENDMENT - PERSONAL MOBILITY DEVICES — ORDINANCE 2026-08 AMENDING CODE OF ORDINANCES CHAPTER 78, TRAFFIC AND VEHICLES TO CREATE DEFINITIONS FOR ELECTRIC BICYCLES AND OTHER PERSONAL MOBILITY DEVICES; TO CREATE TRAFFIC LAWS AND ENFORCEMENT MEASURES FOR ELECTRIC BICYCLES AND OTHER PERSONAL MOBILITY DEVICES TO INCLUDE A SPEED LIMIT FOR ELECTRIC BICYCLES AND OTHER PERSONAL MOBILITY DEVICES; AUTHORIZING ADMINISTRATIVE CORRECTION OF SCRIVENER'S ERRORS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Synopsis: Imposes a 10 mph speed limit for bicycles and electric bicycles on sidewalks, trails, and paths and 20 mph speed limit for roadways.]

AND I DO HAVE ONE SPEAKER ON THIS TOPIC BUT I WILL LET MS. CAMPBELL AND MS. PRINCE READ OUR ORDINANCE FIRST.

>> GREAT THANK YOU MAYOR. CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE 2026-08 AT FIRST READING. THIS IS RELATED SPECIFICALLY TO EBIKES AND MOTORIZED PERSONAL MOBILITY DEVICES.

IT CREATES A SECTION OF OUR CODE TO DEFINE THESE ITEMS AND CONDUCT THE USE OF THESE ITEMS IN AN APPROPRIATE AND SAFE MANNER GIVING THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AUTHORITY TO ENFORCE THE REGULATIONS. ALTERNATIVE NUMBER TWO MS. PRINCE FOR THE FIRST READING. WE DO HAVE SOME RECOMMENDED STAFF AMENDMENTS TONIGHT. AND THEN CHIEF TAMBASC SUCHLT HERE AS WELL TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE ABOUT

THE DETAILS OF THIS PROPOSAL. >> THANK YOU.

MANAGER CAMPBELL. ORDINANCE 2026-08 IN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION AND CITY OF FERNANDINA BEACH, FLORIDA AMENDING CODE SECTION 78 TRAFFIC AND VEHICLES TO CREATE DEFINITIONS FOR ELECTRIC BIASICING AND OTHER PERSONAL MOBILITY DEVICES TO CREATE TRAFFIC LAWS AND ENFORCEMENT MEASURES FOR ELECTRIC BIASICS AND OTHER PERSONAL MOBILITY

[00:45:03]

AUTHORIZING ADMINISTRATIVE CORRECTION OF SCIRENERS ERRORS PROVIDING THE SERVERABILITY AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. WE DID HAVE A PRESENTATION BUT SINCE WE DO HAVE SOME PROPOSED CHANGES-- HAS OFFERED TO PRINT AT LEAST THE PROPOSED CHANGES SO YOU CAN SEE THEM BECAUSE WE CAN'T PUT THEM UP. BUT THIS IS AS MS. CAMPBELL HAS STATED WILL BE AN ORDINANCE TO ALLOW YOU TO REGULATE WHETHER HUMAN OR NON-HUMAN POWERED. WILL REQUIRE ALL RIDERS TO ABIDE BY TRAFFIC REGULATIONS. SIGNAL LIGHTS.

STOP SIGNS AND OTHER TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES.

THAT'S THE FIRST SECTION OF THE ORDINANCE.

YOU ARE GOING TO REQUIRE ALL RIDERS OF THESE DEVICES WHETHER HUMAN OR NON-HUMAN POWERED TO NOT EXCEED 20 MILES PER HOUR ON A ROADWAY AND NOT TO EXCEED 10 MILES PER HOUR ON A TRAIL OR BEACH. AND WE'LL GET INTO LITTLE DIFFERENT DEFINITION BETWEEN MULTIUSE PATH AND TRAIL.

THE OTHER THING THAT THIS ORDINANCE DOES IS REQUIRES THESE DEVICES ONLY BE OPERATED BY HUMAN POWER ON SIDEWALKS.

MULTI-USE PATHS AND UNPAVED PORTIONS OF THE ROADWAY.

AND THEY ALSO SHALL NOT EXCEED THE 10 MILES PER HOUR UNDER HUMAN POWER ONLY. ALL RIDERS OF THESE DEVICES HUMAN OR NON-HUMAN POWERABLE WILL BE PROHIBITED IN CITY PARKS UNLESS SIGNAGE INDICATES OTHERWISE.

UNDER 65-2 I BELIEVE OF YOUR KED WE HAVE THE CITY PARKS YOUR MAIN PARK. VARIOUS WE DO EXCLUDE BEACHES FROM THAT. SO YOU WILL BE ABLE TO RIDE A BIKE ON THE BEACH NO GREATER THAN TEN MILES PER HOUR.

WHEREVER YOU ARE RIDING IN THE CITY.

WHATEVER YOU ARE RIDING ON. WHICHEVER TYPE OF MOBILITY DEVICE. NO MATTER WHAT SPEED LIMIT YOU'RE ASSIGNED AND WHETHER YOU'RE OPERATING HUMAN OR NON-HUMAN POWER, THIS ORDINANCE WILL REQUIRE YOU TO YIELD TO PEDESTRIANS IN THE RIGHT OF WAY.

GIVE AN AUDIBLE SIGNAL BEFORE PASSING THE PEDESTRIAN.

IT'S ALSO GOING TO REQUIR YOU TO NOT CREATE SO MUCH STUFF ON YOUR BIKE THAT YOU ARE UNSTABLE OR DANGEROUS.

IT ALSO REQUIRES YOU TO BASICALLY BE CAREFUL.

RIDE IN A PRUDENT MANNER. PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR SURROUNDINGS AND ADJUST YOUR SPEEDS TO YOU DO NOT ENDANGER LIVE. IF ANY OF THOSE THINGS DO OCCUR YOU CAN BE FOUND IN VIOLATION. AND THERE'S A CITATION $150 FOR OTHER TYPES OF INFRACTIONS OF THE ORDINANCE.

THERE'S AN APPEAL PROVISION FOR THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY CITED. NOW APPEALS PROVISION GOES TO THE CHIEF FIRST TO REVIEW THE CITATION FROM THE OFFICER AND THEN TO THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE. WE DO MR. GLISSON PRINTS CHANGES TO THE ORDINANCE. IT WASN'T-- IT WAS CLEAR IN MY MIND, BUT NOT IN THE ORDINANCE HOW BEACHES WOULD BE HANDLED.

THE WAY IT'S WRITTEN IN YOUR PACT, BEACHES WOULD HAVE TO HAVE SIGNAGE TO ALLOW FOR A RIDER TO RIDE.

AND TO MAKE IT EASIER WE'LL HAVE SOME SUGGESTED CHANGES TO A DEFINED TERM OF RECREATIONAL PARK TO SHOW WE ARE EXCLUDEING BEACHES. SO WHERE WE'VE SAID YOU CAN'T RIDE IN RECREATIONAL PARK WE'RE EXCLUDEING BEACHES.

ALSO TO MAKE IT CLEAR IN SUCK SECTION C78-5 OF THE ORDINANCE THAT IT MAY BE CITY OWNED BEACHES AND BEACHES WITHIN THE CITY'S JURISDICTION. YOU HAVE RIDE ON THEM AS STATED IN THE PRESENTATION. THOSE ARE RECOMMENDED CHANGES THAT WILL PASS ON IF YOU WANT TO ADD THAT TO A MOTION TO APPROVE IF YOU SO DESIRE. AND THEN AT THIS TIME-- MIGHT HAVE SOME FURTHER INFORMATION FOR YOU.

AND WE'LL CERTAINLY TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT MOBILITY DEVICES. THE TYPES.

AND CHIEF MAYBE YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO

ADD? >> NO, THAT WAS A VERY GOOD SUMMARY OF WHAT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE IS.

I'M HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS. >> ANY GERS OUR CHIEF AT THE MOMENT? QUESTIONS?

>> SURE. I HAVE ONE QUESTION AND MAYBE I DON'T KNOW WHO IT'S FOR. IS IT TEN MILES AN HOUR ON THE

BEACH OR IS IT FIVE? >> WHEN WE SPOKE IT'S FIVE BUT THAT'S FOR THE VEHICLES. AND THAT SECTION WHERE WE RESTRICT SPEED SO THAT SMALL SECTION OF VEHICLES.

MOTOR VEHICLES. BECAUSE THEY ARE DIFFERENT.

AND SO WE ARE I SPOKE WITH CHIEF AND I BELIEVE MANAGER CAMPBELL AND I DISCUSSED THIS AS WELL TEN MILES PER HOUR ON THE BEACH IS WHAT WE SETTLED ON FOR THE BEACHES IF YOU ARE

RIDING IN THE HARD SAND. >> OKAY.

[00:50:03]

THANK YOU. >> COMMISSIONER?

>> TWO BASIC QUESTIONS. HOW ARE WE GOING TO COMMUNICATE THESE CHANGES TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC SO THAT PEOPLE CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY NEED TO DO DIFFERENTLY? AND HOW ARE WE GOING TO ENFORCE THIS ORDINANCE? BECAUSE I'M KIND OF CLUELESS ABOUT HOW YOU WOULD FIGURE OUT

HOW TO ENFORCE IT. >> SURE.

I'LL ADDRESS THE FIRST QUESTION.

SO IF THE ORDINANCE IS PASSED, WE PLAN TO DO AN EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN VIA ALL OF OUR SOCIAL MEDIA OUTLETS.

THROUGH PRINT MEDIA. ALSO WITH THE TELEVISION MEDIA.

WE ALSO PLAN TO MEET WITH THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS, THE HIGH SCHOOLS, HAVE OUR SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS DISSEMINATE THE NEW ORDINANCE. AND WHAT WE EXPECT.

WE ALSO PLAN TO EDUCATE PEOPLE AT FIRST.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO OUT AND FORCE WITH GIVING CITATIONS.

UNLESS IT'S TO REPEAT OFFENDERS.

THE FIRST PUSH OF THIS ORDINANCE WOULD BE AN EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN. MAKING INITIAL CONTACT WITH THE VIOLATOR. EXPLAINING TO THE VIOLATOR WHAT THE ORDINANCE IS AND LOGGING THEIR NAME AND TIME DATE OF CONTACT. AND THEN REPEAT OFFENDERS WE WOULD THEN GO AHEAD AND TICKET. BUT THE INITIAL CAMPAIGN WOULD

BE EDUCATIONAL. >> SO YOU'LL CREATE BROCHURES? SOMETHING PHYSICAL THAT YOU CAN HAND TO PEOPLE? AND HAND OUT? AND USE FOR TRAINING AND

ORIENTATION? >> YES, MA'AM.

>> OKAY. AND WHERE IS THE BUDGET COME

FOR THAT? >> WE HAVE BUDGETED MONEYS IN OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT ACCOUNT FOR THAT.

>> OKAY. AND THEN HOW ARE YOU-- I MEAN, SINCE YOU DON'T HAVE A TRAFFIC DIVISION PER SE, HOW ARE YOU

ACTUALLY GOING TO ENFORCE THIS? >> SURE.

SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT WITH EITHER A CITY ORDINANCE OR STATE STATUTE FOR TRAFFIC VIOLATION, WE HAVE TO WITNESS THAT. IF IT DOESN'T INVOLVE A TRAFFIC CRASH. SO WHAT THIS CITY ORDINANCE WOULD DO IS GIVE US A LOT MORE AVENUES TO CONTACT PEOPLE THAT ARE IN VIOLATION OF IT VERSUS THE STATE STATUTE.

SINCE WE TECHNICALLY DO NOT HAVE A DEDICATED TRAFFIC UNIT, ALL OF OUR PATROL OFFICERS ARE CONSIDERED TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS. SO IT GIVES OUR PATROL OFFICERS MORE ABILITY TO WITNESS THE VIOLATIONS.

I INITIATE THE CONTACT. WITH THAT PERSON THAT'S VIOLATING THE CITY ORDINANCE. SO AN EXAMPLE WOULD BE CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW, THERE'S NOT A MECHANISM TO ENFORCE ELECTRIC BIKES DOING 30 MILES AN HOUR ON A SIDEWALK.

WELL THIS CITY ORDINANCE WAS ENACTED, IT WOULD GIVE US THAT MECHANISM TO ENFORCE THAT BECAUSE WE CAN PICK UP BICYCLISTS ON OUR SPEED MEASURING DEVICES.

SO THERE'S JUST A LOT MORE AVENUES FOR US WITH THIS CITY ORDINANCE TO MAKE THESE CONTACTS AND HOPEFULLY EDUCATE OUR PUBLIC AND MAKE THE ROADWAY SAFER FOR EVERYONE.

>> SO HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH-- I MEAN TO A LARGE DEGREE THESE ARE KIDS. YEAH.

13-YEAR-OLD BOYS. SO HOW-- YOU'RE DEALING WITH MINORS. HOW DOES THAT WORK WITH YOUR ENFORCEMENT AND HOW DO YOU GET THE PARENTS INVOLVED.

HOW DOES THAT WORK DIFFERENTLY THAN WITH ADULTS?

>> SURE, SO THE INITIAL CONTACT WOULD BE THE SAME.

WE WOULD CONTACT THE VIOLATOR, SPEAK WITH THE VIOLATOR AND LOG THAT IN OUR COMPUTER DISPATCH SYSTEM.

THE SECOND VIOLATION WITH THE SAME PERSON IF IT'S A JUVENILE, WE'LL CONTACT THEIR PARENTS AND REQUEST THE PARENTS TO COME TO THE ACTUAL LOCATION OF THE STOP.

THAT WAY WE CAN EXPLAIN TO THE PARENTS WHAT EXACTLY THE VIOLATION WAS. WHAT OUR EXPECTATIONS ARE.

IN AN ATTEMPT TO HOPEFULLY GET THEM TO HAVE THE BUY IN WITH US. THE THIRD PART OF THAT WOULD BE WE SPOKE TO THE VIOLATOR. THE SECOND STEP WE SPOKE TO THE PARENTS. THIRD STEP WOULD BE ISSUING THE ACTUAL CITY ORDINANCE CITATION. AND IT'S JUST ESCALATING UP AS IT WOULD ANY OTHER TRAFFIC INFRACTION.

WE'VE ALREADY DONE THIS THREE-PRONGED APPROACH AND IT'S BEEN SUING CESSFUL. BUT YOU KNOW AS SUMMER'S APPROACHING US, WE FULLY AN TIGHT PATE MORE ISSUES WITH EBIKES. BUT IN THE PAST THIS THREE

[00:55:02]

>> SO WHAT ABOUT THE GREENWAY? YA'LL CONTROL THE GREENWAY

TODAY RIGHT? >> REALLY, WE TRY TO.

BUT IT'S NOT AN EVERYDAY MECHANISM OF OUR PATROL

ENFORCEMENT. >> SO HOW ARE YOU GOING TO IMPLEMENT THIS ORDINANCE COMPONENTS THAT IMPACT THE

GREENWAY? >> WE HAVE BICYCLE OFFICERS NOW WEATHER IS KWET GETING BETTOR ENFORCE AREAS LIKE THE GREENWAY. THE BEACH.

BUT WE ALSO HAVE MECHANISMS TO JUST WALK THE GREENWAY.

AND IT WILL BE AN INITIATIVE TO MAKE SURE PATROL OFFICERS OR ZONE OFFICERS ARE SHOWING MORE PRESENCE ON THE GREENWAY

ITSELF. >> IT IS A BIG CHANGE FOR YOU.

>> IT IS. >> TO ME, IT'S A LOT MORE WORK FOR YOUR OFFICERS. PARTICULARLY YOUR PATROL

OFFICERS. >> IT ABSOLUTELY IS.

BUT WHEN YOU WEIGH OUT THE AMOUNT OF WORK VERSUS THE AMOUNT OF SAFETY THAT CAN PROVIDE, WE'RE ALL ON BOARD.

>> I DON'T DISAGREE BUT I AM-- JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND SO WHETHER ALL THE CHANGES YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE ORGANIZATIONALLY AND WITH YOUR PROCESSES AND TRAINING TO

ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO DO THIS. >> AND WE'VE ALREADY STARTED THAT PROCESS. SO WE'RE JUST ABOUT READY TO ADAPT TO THE ORDINANCE IF IT WAS TO PASS.

>> GREAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> THANK YOU COMMISSIONER. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR CHIEF? COMMISSIONER CONCERNS. MAINLY DOWNTOWN I SEE THESE KIDS. AND THEY ARE ALL YOUNG KIDS.

AND THEY ARE DOING WHEELIES AND STANDING ON THE BACKS OF THEIR BIKES AND THERE'S THREE FOUR OR FIVE GOING DOWN THE WRONG WAY ON DOWNTOWN STREETS. THEY ARE FLYING DOWN THE STREETS. NOT STOPPING AT STOP SIGNS.

THIS TYPE OF STUFF. I'M WORRIED SOMEONE'S GOING TO GET KILLED BECAUSE THEY ARE KIDS.

THEY ARE INVINCIBLE. AND I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED WITH-- WE'RE GOING TO STOP THEM AND SAY HEY DON'T DO THAT ANYMORE. AND THE SECOND TIME WE'LL TALK TO THEIR PARENTS. I'M NOT SURE IF THAT'S ENOUGH AND THE THIRD TIME $50 CITATION.

I KNOW IN SOME PLACES PARENTS ARE BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR KIDS AND IT'S MORE THAN A $50 FINE BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO THE KID, IT'S GOING TO BE PARENTS FOR NOT SUPERVISING THEIR KID. AND I DON'T KNOW IF THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME ELEMENT OF THAT INCLUDED IN THIS.

BECAUSE SOME OF THE KIDS THAT I'VE ASKED TO STOP OR DON'T DO THAT, THEY PRETTY MUCH JUST FLIP YOU OFF AND KEEP ON GOING.

SO I'M NOT SURE. YOU COULD BE VERY, VERY BUSY.

AND THE SECOND PART SI THINK WE NEED TO COORDINATE THIS WITH THE COUNTY. BEC BECAUSE-- IS THE COUNTY AND I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE ALL GET ON THE SAME PAGE.

THAT IF WE DESIGN AN ORDINANCE. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE BUY IN.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS EFFORT IN THE FIRST CITY MANAGER TO REACH OUT. TO THE PLACE OVER THERE.

TO A SECOND DEGREE. >> THANK YOU.

>> I DID HEAR FROM ONE RESIDENT.

WHO SAID THAT THEY HAD REACHED OUT TO ONE OF THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND THEY WERE TALKING TO THE COUNTY.

YEAH. >> THEY NEED TO TALK TO HIM.

>> I AGREE. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE ON A CITY ROAD OR A COUNTY ROAD. QUESTION ABOUT THE ENFORCEMENT.

I PRESUME A $50 FINE? WHO PAYS IT? WHOSE HELD LIABLE TO PAY THAT? THE PARENT?

DO YOU HAVE TO BE OVER 18? >> YES THE PARENT.

>> OKAY IN THE INITIAL EDUCATIONAL ROLLOUT, IS THERE GOING TO BE A TIME PERIOD ON THAT?

LIKE 30 DAYS? >> RIGHT NOW IT'S 30 DAYS BUT THAT COULD GO LONGER IF WE FEEL LIKE IT'S NOT ENOUGH.

WE DO HAVE A MULTI-LAYER PRESENTATION TOMORROW AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL FOR SEVERAL HOURS.

TO HIT SEVERAL DIFFERENT CLASSES.

WE'RE KIND OF USING THAT AS AN INITIAL TOAST SEE HOW IT WORKS AND THEN WE'LL EVOLVE FROM THERE.

[01:00:01]

>> OKAY GREAT. I AM THRILLED TO SEE THIS ORDINANCE AND I HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE CONTACT ME OVER THE LAST YEAR ABOUT CONCERN MORE AND MORE PEOPLE HAVE EBIKES SO I THINK THIS IS GREAT. IT'S A NEW TECHNOLOGY THAT IS EXPLODING AND WE NEED NEW RULES.

I THINK I REALLY LIKE SECTION 78-5 SUB SECTION D WHERE ON TRAILS AND SIDEWALKS AND THE GREENWAY YOU HAVE TO BE OPERATING BY HUMAN POWER. BECAUSE THERE'S CLASS TWO BIKES THAT GO 28 MILES AN HOUR. BECAUSE WE'RE MOSTLY FLAT, I THINK IT WILL ACTUALLY BE VERY EASY FOR AN OFFICER TO SEE THAT VIOLATION. WHEN YOU SEE SOMEBODY CRUISING FOR MANY HUNDREDS OF YARDER AND THEY ARE NOT PEDALLING, THEY ARE NOT FLYING DOWN SOME HILL. SO I THINK THAT'S A RELATIVELY EASY JUST COME HANG OUT AT THE BEACH STREET BRIDGE AND YOU WILL SEE THEM FLYING BY. MY BIGGEST CONCERN WITH YOUNG KIDS IS THEY DON'T KNOW THE TRAFFIC LAWS.

AND THEY ARE NOT ADHERING TO SAFETY.

AND I AGREE SOMEBODY'S GOING TO GET HURT.

EITHER ONE OF THE KIDS OR A PEDESTRIAN.

I HAD ONE OTHER CONCERN AND DID WE TALK ABOUT THIS? MY ONE CONCERN WITH HUMAN OPERATION ONLY ON THE GREENWAY IS ADA COMPLIANCE. BECAUSE I KNOW I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE USING ASSISTED POWER WITH THE EBIKE.

PEDAL ASSIST. WHEN THEY ARE PULLING A CART OR TRAILER WITH AN ADA FAMILY MEMBER PER SE.

AND THAT PERSON ON THE GREENWAY CAN'T NECESSARILY USE THE ROAD OR THE SIDEWALK. SO I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT GETS

ADDED. >> WE DID DISCUSS IT COMMISSIONER TUTEN AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT IF AN OFFICER APPROACHED AND THEY NEEDED IT, WE WOULD HAVE TO ALLOW IT.

I DON'T KNOW THAT IT HAS TO BE SPELT OUT IN THE ORDINANCE.

FEDERAL LAW WE WOULD HAVE TO-- WHEN YOU APPROACH SOMEONE.

IF THEY ADDRESS IT. >> ALSO I HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL PEOPLE IN THE CYCLING COMMUNITY.

I PSYCH AL LOT BUT I'M ON A MOUNTAIN BIKE AND I'M NOT THAT FAST. AND I THINK 20 MILES AN HOUR ON THE ROADWAY IS FAIR. SO A FRIEND OF MINE SAID THEY CAN CLOCK SAY 24 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THEY ARE COMING FLYING DOWN 18TH STREET BUT WE DON'T HAVE A LONG ENOUGH RUN ANYWHERE IN THE CITY BEFORE A STOP SIGN FOR A REAL CYCLIST TO GET CRUISING THAT FAST SO I THINK THAT'S COMPLETELY FAIR.

I'M THRILLED TO GET STARTED WITH THIS.

I AGREE. I THINK ENFORCEMENT WILL BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT BUT I THINK WE HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE.

SO YEAH. SUPER HAPPY.

>> THANK YOU. CERTAINLY.

>> ONE MORE QUESTION.

SO-- AND THIS PART I THINK IS WHAT YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH TODAY. BUT THESE STREETS GO FROM COUNTY TO CITY TO COUNTY TO CITY.

SO ARE YOU GOING TO BE ABLE TO ENFORCE PORTIONERS OF THE

STREET THAT ARE COUNTY? >> YES.

WE HAVE A MUTUAL AID AGREEMENT. >> OKAY ALL RIGHT SO GOOD EXAMPLE WHERE CERTAIN PORTIONS BELONG TO ONE OR THE OTHER.

SO AS LONG AS-- SO YOU ARE ABLE TO MANAGE THAT BECAUSE YOU HAVE AN INTERLEVEL AGREEMENT REGARDING TODAY.

>> YES, MA'AM. >> SO DOES THAT NEED TO BE UPDATED TO ADD THIS? OR WILL IT JUST BE COVERED?

>> NO IT ALREADY ADDS STATE STATUTES IN ORDINANCES.

>> OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> ONE MORE THING FOR STAFF.

ALL THE ENTRANCE SIGNS TO THE GREENWAY, I DID GO LOOK AT ONE OF THEM TODAY. THEY READ OR AT LEAST THE ONE NEARER MY HOUSE READS NO UNAUTHORIZED MOTOR VEHICLES.

THEY DEFINITELY WILL ALL NEED TO BE UPDATED TO READ-- I DON'T KNOW. FOLLOW THIS ORDINANCE AND MAYBE EVEN REMIND PEOPLE NO FASTER THAN TEN MILES AN HOUR.

WHICH IS GREAT BECAUSE THE GREENWAY IS ENOUGH TWISTS AND TURNS AND SOMEONE DOING CYCLING FOR YEARS OR DECADES, THEY UNDERSTAND THE DANGER OF A TURN.

A KID ON AN E BIKE GOING 20 MILES AN HOUR DOES NOT UNDERSTAND WHO IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT TURN.

SO THIS IS GREAT. >> THANK YOU COMMISSIONER.

I HAVE NO OTHER REQUESTS TO SPEAK FROM THE COMMISSION.

[01:05:04]

AND I'LL JUST ADD FELLOW COMMISSIONER'S POINTS.

I WATCHED JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO YOUNG MAN 15 20 MILES AN HOUR ROLL RIGHT THROUGH A STOP SIGN. IF I WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION I DO BELIEVE HE'D BE UNDER MY CAR.

I THINK ENFORCEMENT WILL BE A LIVING DOCUMENT AND WE'LL HAVE SOME CHANGES MOVING FORWARD AND SEE HOW IMPLEMENTATION WORKS.

>> I NEVER SEE THEM STOP AT A STOP SIGN INCLUDING THE FOUR-WAY AT 14 AND SIMMONS. NO BICYCLIST STOPS THROUGH THERE. THEY JUST FLY THROUGH THERE LIKE. THE TEACHER.

I GET THAT. BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN THEM STOP.

>> I STOP AND GET OFF MY BIKE. >> I DO HAVE OTHERS REQUESTING TO SPEAK. GENERALLY SPEAKING I DON'T FAVOUR MORE LAWS. BUT UNFORTUNATELY I THINK WE'VE JUST GOTTEN TO A POINT THAT WE DON'T HAVE OUR PARENTS LOOKING AFTERER THE KIDS THAT ARE NEEDING THIS.

AND THAT'S JUST UNFORTUNATE. I'M HAPPY TO SEE THAT WE HAVE A TOOL TO GIVE TO OUR OFFICERS TO HELP ENFORCE THIS A LITTLE BIT.

UNFORTUNATELY IT'S JUST NECESSARY.

BUT I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT ADDING REGULATIONS.

>> CAN I ADD ONE MORE THING. ONE OF MY SISTERS IS A CITY COMMISSIONER IN MY HOMETOWN IN NEW JERSEY.

WHEN I TOLD HER WE WERE DOING THIS, SHE SENT ME THEIR NEW ORDINANCE. NEW JERSEY STATE LAW BANS CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 16 FROM RIDING AN EBIKE PERIOD.

AND IF YOU ARE 16, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A MOPED LICENSE SO THEREFORE YOU HAVE LEARNED STREET RULES AND IF YOU ARE 17 YOU HAVE TO HAVE EITHER MOPED OR A DRIVER'S LICENSE.

AND ANOTHER PART OF OUR ORDINANCE HERE ABOUT BIKES NOT O THAT THEY ARE MORE THAN 7 WATTS, EBIKES IN EUROPE ARE CLASSIFIED ONLY IF THEY ARE UNDER 250 WATTS OF POWER.

SO I COMPLETELY AGREE. TOO MANY LAWS AND LAWS THAT AREN'T ENFORCED ARE A LOT. BUT BOY THERE'S A LOT OF PLACES THAT GO WAY FURTHER THAN WE'RE GOING.

>> ONE REQUEST FROM THE AUDIENCE IS MS. SHEILA COPE.

COME ON UP. >> SHEILA KOCH INDIGO STREET.

THANK YOU FOR TAKING THIS COMMISSION.

JUST YESTERDAY IN OUR NEIGHBOURHOOD, A KID THAT I KNOW WAS DRIVING BY. HE WAS ON THE BIKE SIDE SADDLE GOING VERY QUICKLY. I WAS LIKE HEY, SLOW DOWN, DON'T DO THAT. SO HE RIGHTED HIMSELF AND THEN HE WENT ABOUT A HUNDRED YARDS. AND HE STOOD UP ON THE SEAT OF THE BIKE AND RODE IT IN A WHEELIE DOWN AROUND THE CAR THAT WAS PARKED ON THE STREET BEFORE HE WENT INTO HIS HOUSE.

SO AGAIN WHAT I'M SEEING MOSTLY IS KIDS THAT ARE THE MOST EGREGIOUS AND I AGAIN I DON'T THINK THEY KNOW THE RULES.

BUT I'M CONCERNED THAT THERE'S NO WAY I WOULD IMAGINE THAT THE POLICE CAN ONLY ENFORCE SOMETHING THAT THEY SEE.

SO EVEN REPORTING IT AS A CITIZEN OR IF YOU SEE SOMETHING DANGEROUS HAPPENING. UNLESS THEY ALSO SEE IT, HOW IS THAT GOING TO WORK? AND YOU KNOW, I SEE KIDS RIDING OTHER KIDS ON THE BACK, WHICH IS-- REALLY NOT SAFE EVEN ON A BICYCLE. BUT GUESS WE'VE ALL DONE THAT.

WHEN YOU'RE ON 14TH STREET OR AGAIN FLYING DOWN AT SPEEDS THAT GO FASTER THAN MY GOLF CART WHICH HAS TO BE LICENSED AND INSURED, WHAT HAPPENS IF ONE OF THESE KIDS HITS A PEDESTRIAN. OR-- WHO EVEN PAYS FOR THAT? I JUST WONDER AND I GUESS I UNDERSTAND THE MUTUAL AID FOR CHIEF BUT WHAT IS THE TRADE WITH THE COUNTY IF THEY DON'T HAVE A SIMILAR ORDINANCE TO KNOW IF THEY SEE THIS IN THE CITY THAT THEY SHOULD DO SOMETHING.

SO I THINK THERE'S MOSTLY THE OPPORTUNITIES AT THE SCHOOL TO BE EMBARKING ON SUMMER. THINGS ARE GOING TO GET CRAZY.

THERE'S SO MANY RANGES OF WHAT THESE BIKES ARE AND ARE NOT.

IT'S-- I MEAN OUR CARS ARE PRETTY CONSISTENT ABOUT THEIR POWER AND THE LIMITS THAT THEY HAVE.

THESE BIKES JUST LOOKING AT THEM HOW DO YOU EVEN KNOW.

THERE'S NO TAG OR WAY TO IDENTIFY THESE KIDS AND TO ME THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME AT THIS POINT.

SO JUST A BLUR GOING BY. ANYWAY THANK YOU.

[01:10:01]

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

DO I HAVE A MOTION? >> COULD I JUST ASK ONE QUESTION? COULD I ASK THE CHIEF A QUESTION RELATED TO THAT? I PRESUME JUST LIKE ANY BREAKING OF THE LAW, IF SOMEBODY SEES SOMETHING, THEY CAN CONTACT POLICE? AND MAYBE SAY HEY, EVERY DAY AT 2:30 SCHOOL IS OUT COMING DOWN MY ROAD AND MAYBE POLICE CAN

SET UP PATROLS? >> ABSOLUTELY.

WE CURRENTLY DO THAT AND WE HAVE DONE THAT SEVERAL TIMES RECENTLY WITH EBIKES ON THE SIDEWALK.

AND IT WOULD BE NO DIFFERENT THAN SOMEONE CALLING A RECKLESS DRIVER COMPLAINT. WE SET UP IN THE AREA.

TRY TO FIND THEM. >> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU CHIEF. AND I DO HAVE ONE OTHER REQUEST

MR. TOM CAMERON, COME ON UP. >> TOM-- 1518 NORTH PARK DRIVE.

FERNANDINA BEACH, FLORIDA. I JUST HAVE TWO QUESTIONS TO ASK CHIEF TO BASS KOE. YESTERDAY WE NOTICED SOME KIDS WITH THEIR CELL PHONES. DRIVING WITH ONE HAND ON THE BIKE, ONE ON THE CELL PHONE AND DOING WHEELIES.

SO YOU GOT A COMBINATION OF THREE THINGS THERE.

AND THERE'S NO COORDINATION ON HOW CAN THEY STOP? THERE'S NO WAY THEY CAN STOP. SO THE THING I ASK YOU, WE HAVE BIKE SHOPS HERE. LET'S MAKE SURE THEY GET THE INFORMATION. WHEN THEY ARE GETTING THE TYPE OF INFORMATION, THEY SELL A BIKE.

HERE'S THE RULES OF ROAD. WE'RE NOT GOING TO TRAFFIC SCHOOL. THEY ARE NOT GOING TO A DRIVER'S LESSONS. SO LET'S MAKE SURE WHEN WE HAVE AVENUES THAT WE CAN DISTRIBUTE THE RULES OF THE ROAD, LET'S MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE OUT THERE.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU MR. CAMERON.

ALL RIGHT. I HAVE NO OTHER REQUEST TO SPEAK. DO I HAVE A MOTION?

>> I WOULD MOVER THAT WE APPROVE ORDINANCE 32608.

AMENDING CODE OF ORDINANCES CHAPTER 78.

INCLUDING THE TWO PROPOSED CHANGES PROVIDED BY THE CITY ATTORNEY AT THE MEETING. I THINK THAT'LL DO IT.

>> DO I HAVE A SECOND? MOTION SECONDED ADDITIONAL

DISCUSSION? >> YEAH.

SORRY. COULD WE ASK STAFF OR THE POLICE CHIEF TO CONTACT SOME OF THE BIKE SHOPS AND THE RENTAL OFFICES? I KNOW I'VE DONE THAT.

SPEAKING TO THE RENTAL OFFICES ON THE SOUTH END.

IT HELPED A LOT WITH BEHAVIOUR ON THE BEACH WITH THE NESTING SHOREBIRDS. THANKS.

>> MS. BEST. PLEASE START THE VOTE.

[10. CITY MANAGER REPORTS]

MS. CAMPBELL? >> THANK YOU MAYOR.

JUST A COUPLE OF ITEMS. ONE BECAUSE WE HAD THE UPDATE FROM MR. COYLE WITH THE AIRPORT ANNUAL REPORT TONIGHT.

I WANTED TO MENTION SOME OF THE ACTIVITIES THAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING IN RESPONSE TO CONCERNS ABOUT NOISE AT THE AIRPORT.

FIRST OF ALL WE MET WITH THE CRANE ISLAND HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.

IT WAS A VERY LARGE TURNOUT ABOUT 40 TO 45 PEOPLE.

MR. COYLE GAVE A SIMILAR PRESENTATION ABOUT THE OPERATIONS AT THE AIRPORT AND WHAT OUR NOISE ABATEMENT GUIDELINES ARE. AND WE HAD GOOD FEEDBACK AND QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION WITH THE RESIDENTS.

WE'VE ALSO BEEN VISITING TO IN JACKSONVILLE TO SOME OF THE

[01:15:02]

TO REMIND THEM OF OUR NOISE ABATEMENT GUIDELINES.

ASK FOR THEIR INPUT ON ANY IMPROVEMENTS IN COMMUNICATING THOSE GUIDELINES. IN ADDITION, MR. SENSENBAUER WHO NATE INTRODUCED HAS BEEN SENDING LETTERS TO VIOLATORS.

SO EACH WEEK IF SOMEBODY IS VIOLATING THE NOISE ABATEMENT GUIDELINES, THAT FLIGHT SCHOOL IS RECEIVING A NOTICE FROM THE CITY. SO JUST TO KEEP YOU APPRISED THAT WE ARE WORKING ON THAT. AND WORKING TO REIN IN SOME OF THE INAPPROPRIATE USE PEOPLE HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT.

BECAUSE I'M SERVING AS PRESIDENT OF OUR STATE CITY MANAGERS ASSOCIATION, THEY PAID FOR ME TO ATTEND A TRAINING IN PHILADELPHIA. PUT ON BY THE INTERNATIONAL CITY MANAGERS ASSOCIATION. AND THE TOPIC WAS DEMOCRACY AND THE PUBLIC TRUST. I THOUGHT WAS APPROPRIATE WITH THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND PUBLIC TRUST BEING ONE OF THE TOPICS OF MAJOR CONCERN THAT THIS WAS THE CONFERENCE I SHOULD ATTEND.

SO I ATTENDED A NUMBER OF GREAT SESSIONS ASK & I'LL PROVIDE MORE FEEDBACK ON THE FUTURE. REALLY GOOD CONFERENCE THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY TO ATTEND. BUT GOOD TAKE AWAYS AND WILL HELP US FURTHER IN THE PROCESS THIS YEAR.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE. >> THANK YOU MS. CAMPBELL ANY QUESTIONS OF OUR CITY MANAGEER? SEEING NONE, WE'LL GO ON TO

WE'LL MOVE TO OUR MAYOR AND COMMISSIONER COMMENTS.

WE'LL START ON THIS SIDE FIRST COMMISSIONER POINTER.

>> THANK YOU. THE ST. JOHN'S RIVER WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT HAS MOVEDTOUS LEVEL THREE WATER RESTRICTIONS. WHICH ARE NOT QUITE AS SEVERE ON RESIDENTIAL AS THEY ARE ON SOME OF THE COMMERCIAL.

SO I WOULD ASK THE CITY MANAGER TO LOOK AT HOW WE CAN BEST COMMUNICATE THAT. THE ORDER NANCES THAT THE REQUIREMENTS THAT THEY PUT OUT EVEN THOUGH WE DO NOT HAVE WATER RESTRICTION ORDINANCE, THE ORDINANCE THAT THEY PUT OUT IN POWERS COMMUNITIES TO DO CODE ENFORCEMENT ON VIOLATORS OF THE WATER RESTRICTION. I'D LIKETOUS TALK OFFLINE PROBABLY ABOUT HOW WE CAN DO THAT.

THE OTHER THING I UNDERSTAND IS TO GO TO THE ST. JOHN'S RIVER WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT. AND ANONYMOUSLY REPORT PEOPLE THAT ARE VIOLATING. AND THEY WILL SEND THEM A LETTER. AND TELL THEM THEY ARE IN VIOLATION AND THAT THEY NEED TO STOP.

AND THESE WATER RESTRICTIONS ARE VERY SERIOUS.

WE ARE IN A MAJOR DROUGHT. EVEN THOUGH WE'VE HAD SOME RAIN RECENTLY. WE ARE STILL SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD OF 18 TO 20 INCHES.

>> 26 TO 28 NOW. >> GREAT.

SO SHORT OF A MAJOR HURRICANE. THE OTHER THING I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY IS WE CONTINUE TO BE TOLD THAT WE ARE NOT LISTENING TO THE COMMUNITY. OVER THE ISSUE OF PAID PARKING.

AND WHAT I WOULD SAY IS THAT NOT EVERY VOICE THAT WE HEAR FROM IS THE LOUDEST VOICE IN THE ROOM.

THAT WE HEAR FROM PEOPLE ALL THE TIME WHO ARE NOT ON PUBLIC.

NOT ONLY SOCIAL MEDIA. WHO ARE NOT-- BECAUSE-- OR DO NOT WANT TO PUT THEIR COMMENTS OUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA BECAUSE THEY WILL BE VILLIFIED. SO JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE THE

[01:20:06]

BUT IT'S OUR JOB UP HERE TO MAKE THOSE DECISIONS.

THAT'S WHAT WE WERE ELECTED FOR.

SO I JUST WANT TO CONTINUE TO SAY THAT WE DO LISTEN.

ALL OF US DO. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE'RE GOING TO SAY HOW HIGH WHEN YOU SAY JUMP.

BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY VOICES AT THE TABLE THAT WE LOOK AT

AND LISTEN TO EVERY DAY. >> THANK YOU COMMISSIONER.

COMMISSIONER TUTEN? >> CAN I REITERATE THE SAME MANAGEMENT DISTRICT? YES.

IN THE REPRESENTATIVE AT. SHE SAID WE HAVE NOT BEEN IN A PHASE THREE WATER SHORTAGE SINCE 1897.

AND THAT WE ARE MULTIPLE HURRICANES' WORTH OF RAIN BEHIND. AND THAT WE SHOULD CONSIDER MORE THAN 80 JURISDICTIONS IN THE ST. JOHN'S MANAGEMENT DISTRICT THAT HAVE ALREADY ENACTED ENFORCEMENT ORDINANCES.

SO I DID ACTUALLY ALREADY TALK TO THE CITY MANAGER THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE US PUT TOGETHER AN ORDINANCE.

AND EMPOWER CODE ENFORCEMENT OR THE POLICE TO ENFORCE.

BECAUSE THEY ARE HAVING A MEETING IN THE COMING WEEKS TO CONSIDER MOVING TO PHASE FOUR. BECAUSE THEY SEE NO END AND THEY SEE IT CONTINUING TO GET WORSE.

IT'S EXTREMELY SERIOUS. SO IF YOU ARE TAKING A SUPER LONG SHOWER. OR OVERWATERING YOUR LAWN.

ONLY SUPPOSED TO BE WATERING IT ONCE A WEEK.

BECAUSE OF YOU KNOW-- TOO MUCH-- ANYWAY.

YEAH. VERY SERIOUS.

-- FESTIVAL WAS SUPER AWESOME. OPEN OF THE BEACHES.

JUST LOVE IT. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU SAW THE LAST CASTLE THEY BUILT UP AN AMAZING SAND CASTLE AND THEN THEY SQUISH IT AT THE END. IT'S ALMOST DEVASTATING TO SEE THE ART GO. BUT IT'S TO ILLUSTRATE WHAT THE TURTLES NEED. TURTLE SEASON HAS STARTED.

I THINK WE'VE HAD AT LEAST LAST COUNT I HEARD AT LEAST 12 NESTS. THEY NEED CLEAN DARK FLAT.

CONSIDER TURNING OUT LIGHTS IF YOU KNOW PEOPLE RENTAL ON THE BEACH. EVERY WEEK THE NEW RENTERS NEED TO KNOW. DARK SHOULDER NESTING IS ALSO STARTED. OUR SHORE BIRDS.

ARE CLINGING TO LIFE EVERY DAY. AND THE NEST DAY AND THEY ARE NOT NESTING UP IN TREES. THEY ARE NESTING ON THE SAND.

A GREAT NESTING LOCATION IS FROM NORTH BEACH UP AND AROUND FORT CLENCH. IT'S SUPER IMPACTED BY DOGS OFFLEASH. I CANNOT GO TO THE PART OF THE BEACH WITHOUT SEEING-- IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL FOR DOGS TO BE OFFLEASH ON THE BEACH. AND I KNOW EVERYBODY SAYS THEIR DOG IS NICE AND FRIENDLY AND WON'T CHASE A BIRD.

IT DOESN'T MATTER. BIRD PERCEIVES A NESTING BIRD PERCEIVES A DOG AS A THREAT AND WILL NOT REST IN THE AREA.

IT'S A REAL SERIOUS PROBLEM. WHERE'S THE LAND TRUST? WE PLANTED 400 SEA OATS ON LITTLE MANNA DUNE LAST WEEK.

WAS THERE HAS BEEN A HUGE BLOWOUT OF SAND AND-- SO THAT WAS REALLY EXCITING WORK. THE ASSOCIATION WAS HERE THIS PAST WEEK. THERE AT THE WELCOMING.

AND WHAT NOT. THEY HAVE GIVEN US A LOT OF GRANT MONEY THROUGH THE LICENSE PLACE.

TO RESTORE THE LIGHTHOUSE. REMI REMINDER JUNE 2ND A WORKSHOP ABOUT AIR QUALITY? IS THAT? OKAY.

[01:25:01]

AND LAST TO GET OUT THERE-- OKAY.

MAIN STREET GAVE UP THEIR PRESERVATION AWARDS.

THE NON-PROFIT MAIN STREET ORGANIZATION.

THE SITTING ONE IN THE ADAPTIVE REUSE CATEGORY FOR WATERFRONT PARK. WHICH WAS REALLY EXCITING.

IT'S YEAH-- AND YOU CAN PARK FOR FREE THERE.

>> THANK YOU COMMISSIONER. VICE MAYOR?

>> THANK YOU MAYOR. I'D LIKE THE THANK ELM STREET SPORTSMAN ASSOCIATION. COUPLE WEEKS AGO THEY PUT MOTHER'S DAY WEEKEND ON THEIR ANNUAL MOTHER'S DAY BREAKFAST.

AND I WAS INVITED TO GIVE SOME GREETINGS AND HAVE BREAKFAST.

AND THANK YOU TO THE CITIZENS OF FERNANDINA BEACH AS I WAS P SERVE ANOTHER FOUR YEARS HERE IN THE CITY COMMISSION.
