[4.3 PRESENTATION — BUDGET SUMMARY — Comptroller Susan Carless will present the May 2026 budget summary.]

>> NEXT UP WE HAVE A BUDGET SUMMARY FROM SUSAN.

>> HI, EVERYONE. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO TRAVEL FOR EDUCATION, THAT'S WH WE ARE JUST DOING MAY, I WILL SAY IT'S WORTH IT. I LEARNED A LOT AND GOT SOME VALUABLE INFORMATION TO BRING BACK INJURE AND MAKE GOOD CONTACTS. MAY IS THE EIGHTH MONTH OF THE FISCAL YEAR I DON'T THINK I'M WORKING.

WHAT IS IT NOT MOVING HERE WHEN IT MOVES THERE?

[00:10:27]

WITH THE START IT OVER AGAIN. >> OKAY.

>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE. OF BUDGET SUMMARY AS USUAL BEGINS WITH GENERAL FUND REVENUES AND THIS IS THE REVENU PERCENTAGES BY SOURCE FROM A. WE ARE STARTING TO SEE WHERE TH REVENUE, THE BALANCE OF IT CHANGES AND WE GET LESS IN PROPERTY TAXES AND MORE AS A PERCENTAGE FROM OTHER FUNDING SOURCES. THEN, OVERALL, REVENUES ARE TRENDING WELL AT 91.1 PERCENT O BUDGET FOR FY 26 BREAK LAST YEA FOR THE SAME PERIOD, THEY WERE 91-POINT TO OF BUDGETED.

YEAR TO CHANGE, THE RECEIPTS BY TYPE ARE VERY SIMILAR AND THEY EXCEED THE SAME PERIOD OF LAST YEAR.

THIS IS PRIMARILY DUE TO THE INCREASE IN PROPERTY TAX REVENUE . I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THIS IN CAS ANYONE HASN'T SEEN MY PRESENTATION BEFORE THE GENERAL FUND PROVIDES A CITY WIDE SERVICES, SO THE BLENDS THAT YO DON'T PAY A SPECIFIC FEE FOR LAKE FIRE, ROADS, STREETS, THOS OF THE SURFACES WE TALK ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES FOR THIS SLID SHOWS THE PERCENTAGES OF WHAT W SPENT OUR MONEY ON IN MAY BY FUNCTION, WE ARE LOOKING AT PUBLIC SAFEKEEPING OUR LARGEST PART WITH 20 TO .7 PERCENT BEIN ADMINISTRATION. BY ADMINISTRATION WE MEAN OUR EXECUTIVE BRANCH WHICH IS OUR CITY COMMISSIONER AND THEN OUR MANAGEMENT, ERROR LEADERSHIP, EVERYBODY FROM THE CITY MANAGER AND ATTORNEY ALL OF THE DEPARTMENTS THAT SUPPORT THE CITY IN THE BACKGROUND. AND THEN OF COURSE ALSO, PARKS AND RECREATION IS A LARGE PART OF WHAT THEIR GENERAL FUND SUPPORTS SUPPORT SUBMITTED 13.1 PERCENT OF OUR EXPENDITURES FOR THE PERIOD. MAY IS THE EIGHTH MONTH OUT OF 12 SO 67 PERCENT OF THE YEAR IS COMPLETE.

THIS DEPARTMENTS THAT EXCEEDED 67 PERCENT IN THEIR EXPENDITURE ARE CITY MANAGER, THERE IS 68.8 AND THAT IS BASICALLY IN THEIR PERSONNEL COSTS WITH SOME CHANGES THAT WERE PAID.

IT, 68-POINT TO, AND MOST OF IT WAS DUE TO THEIR CONTRACTUAL WHERE MOST OF THEIR STUFF RENEW EARLY IN THE YEAR AND ALSO SOME CABLING UPGRADES THAT SKEWED THAT A LITTLE BIT.

FACILITY MAINTENANCE, 67.6, JUS BARELY OVER AND IT WAS CAPITAL PURCHASES AND SOFTWARE. AND THEN BUILDING AND FLOODPLAIN , THIS IS THE GENERAL FUND PORTION OF BUILDING COMMITTEE 1.3 PERCENT AND THAT IS BECAUSE OF THIS CITY VIEW SOFTWARE EXPENSES THAT WE ARE IMPLEMENTING THE PROJECT.

THE ONLY SIGNIFICANT EXPENDITUR I HAVE WAS $80,000 FOR A NEW POLICE VEHICLE. GENERAL FUND REVENUES THAT EXCEED EXPENDITURES BY $7.4 MILLION YEAR-TO-DATE CODE FUND BALANCE IS $3 MILLION GREATER THAN THIS YEAR LAST YEA AS SHOWN ON THIS SIDE. SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS, IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR, FOR SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS SIMPLY MEANS THAT THEY EXIST TO ACCOUNT FOR THE REVENUE BE EXCEED IN THE LEGAL RESTRICTIONS ON HOW WE CAN SPEN THAT REVENUE WE SEPARATE THEM INTO THEIR OWN FUNDS ACCORDING TO THOSE LEGAL RESTRICTIONS.

FENCE FOR WHICH EXPENDITURES EXCEED REVENUES YEAR TO DATE INCLUDE TREE TRUST, BUILDING, WASTEWATER CAPACITY FEES AND COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT. THERE WERE NO UNUSUAL RECEIPTS OR EXPENDITURES AND MAY. PAID PARKING PERMIT, THE GROSS REVENUES WERE 150 TO THOUSAND DOLLARS AND OF THAT PARK IT WAS $138,000, FINDS WERE $13,000 AN INTEREST WAS $517.

FOR OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUNDS, EXPENDITURES FROM CAPITA IMPROVEMENT FUNDS THIS PERIOD INCLUDE FROM FUND 300, 67,000

[00:15:03]

FOR THE STATION ONE EXHAUST GAS REMOVAL SYSTEM $206,000 ON THE SEAWALL AND $23,000 FOR IMPROVEMENTS ON THE WHITE HOUSE FROM OTHER CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUNDS, FUND 315, WE HAD $12,000 FOR AREA SIX DRAINAGE AND $31,000 FOR OTHER STORMWATER IMPROVEMENTS. THERE WERE NO SIGNIFICANT EXPENDITURES FROM THE WASTEWATE IMPROVEMENT FUND THIS PERIOD.

YEAR TO DATE, FOR THE CAPITAL EXPANSION FUND ARE REFLECTED ON THIS SIDE. EXPENDITURE OF $1.8 MILLION IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE CATEGORIES FOR THE ACQUISITION OF THE NORT SECOND STREET PROPERTY. YEAR-TO-DATE RECREATION SPENDIN INCLUDE $759,000 FOR THE WATERFRONT PARK $12,000 FOR AN RIM AND IT HUNDRED $40,000 FOR THE MLK SOFTBALL FIELDS.

THE AGENDA PACKET INCLUDES A REPORT THAT'S GOT MORE DETAIL AND WILL TELL YOU THE ITEMS WE HAVE BUDGETED, BUT NOT COMPLETE FOR THAT FUND THIS YEAR. FOR OUR ENTERPRISE FUNDS COMING YEAR-TO-DATE ALL HAVE POSITIVE DEBT POSITION, SO THAT MEANS THEIR INCOME FROM OPERATIONS INCLUDE EXCEEDS OPERATING EXPENSES SIGNIFICANT CAPITAL EXPENDITURES FOR MAY INCLUDE $86,000 AT THE GOLF CARS FOR IRRIGATION SYSTEM UPGRADES AT THE AIRPORT, FOR A FIRE STATION ONE, WE INSTALLED A PURPOSE SYSTEM FOR $47,000. WE SPENT $21,000 OF NORTH HANKE CONSTRUCTION AND $18,000 FOR TAXI LANE AND ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS. AND WASTE WATER WE HAD $15,000 FOR THE STATION UPGRADES AND FO OUR WATER DEPARTMENT WE HAD $155,000 FOR THE WATER MAIN AND 43,004 TRAILER MOUNTED PUMP.

AT OUR MARINA, WE HAD $43,000 O THE ARENA FUEL TANKER REPLACEMENT PROJECT 181,004 WE HAD AND 34,000 ON THE RED STIMULATION. THIS CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? >> ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE

COMMISSION? >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK .

[4.4 PRESENTATION - LEGISLATIVE UPDATES - City Attorney Teresa Prince will discuss select issues which impact municipal operations that passed during Florida's 2026/2027 Legislative Session]

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. THAT IS A LOT OF INFORMATION.

>> THAT LEADS US INTO ITEM 4.4, OUR LEGISLATIVE UPDATES WITH OU

CITY ATTORNEY. >> THANK YOU.

THE DEPUTY CITY MANAGER HAS OFFERED TO HELP ME AGAIN WITH M PRESENTATION. HE IS TRYING DESPERATELY TO GET IT UP ON THE SCREEN. WE WILL DISCUSS HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION ONE F WHICH IS THE PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT AND SENATE BILL SB FOUR F WHICH IS A BILL THAT HAS OUR VIDEO TAKEN EFFECT, AT THE NEXT LIGHT, JEREMIAH? AS MOST OF YOU KNOW, THE JOINT RESOLUTION IS AMENDING ARTICLE SEVEN OF THE CONSTITUTION, THE FLORIDA CONSTITUTION THAT ARTICLE SEVEN SPECIFICALLY GOVERNS HOMESTEAD EXEMPTIONS, ASSESSMENT LIMITATIONS AND/OR CONSTITUTIONAL TAXING AUTHORITY.

THE IMPACT OF THIS CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT IS GOING TO BE FINANCIAL AS YOU AL PROBABLY UNDERSTAND AND NOT A GOVERNMENTAL CHANGE. YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES WILL STAY THE SAME AS FAR AS ADOPTING A BUDGET ISSUE WILL SEE.

THIS JOINT RESOLUTION WAS CALLE FOR AS YOU KNOW BY THE GOVERNOR AND WAS PASSED BY THE LAST LEGISLATIVE SESSION.

IT WILL EXPAND THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION IN THE FIRST YEAR TO $150,000 FOR IT IT WILL EXPANDE TO 250,000 IN THE SECOND YEAR I THEN WHAT THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT WILL REQUIRE IS THAT THE LEGISLATURE THEN ESTABLISH UNIFORM PROCEDURE FOR THE COUNTIES AND MUNICIPALITIES TO INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF EXEMPTIO FOR UP TO ALL OF THE REMAINNG ASSESSED VALUATION ON THE HOMESTEAD PROPERTY. THIS IS SET TO GO TO THE ELECTORS ON NOVEMBER 3RD OF 202 AND THEN IN ORDER TO PASS THIS CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT IT HAS TO BE APPROVED BY FOOT OF AT LEAST 60 PERCENT OF THE ELECTOR VOTING ON THE MEASURE.

THE OTHER MATTER THAT IS IN THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT IF IT IS PASSED AS THERE IS AN ANNUAL CPI INCREASE ON 30 TO HUNDRED 50,000 TELL THIS WITCH PEOPLE LIST ONE AND 2028 THAT WOULD BEGIN IN JANUARY 1 OF 2029 FOR INFLATION.

[00:20:04]

LED, PLEASE. ALSO, IT DOESN'T AFFECT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT V'S, WHICH I THANK YOU ALL DO KNOW.

THERE WHERE THE SIX TOTAL CHANGES THAT WE'RE BEING COVERE THE FIRST THREE WERE ON THE FIRST SLIDE IN THE OF THE REJECTION FOR THE NON- HOMESTEA PROPERTIES IS THE ASSESSMENT CAP , CURRENTLY AS YOU KNOW, NON- HOMESTEAD WHICH WOULD BEEN RENTAL PROPERTIES, COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES, THEY HAVE A CAPITAN PERCENT IF THIS AMENDMENT PASSE THAT WILL BE REDUCED TO 5 PERCENT EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1 OF 2027.

THERE WILL BE A FIVE YEAR RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT FOR ALL OTHERS SO IF YOU OWNED ON JANUARY 1 OF 2027 OR EVEN BY DECEMBER 31ST OF 2026, THEN YOU WOULD HAVE A FIGHT FOR YOUR REQUIREMENT DURING THAT FIGHT YOUR REQUIREMENT, THOSE INDIVIDUALS, THOSE HOMEOWNERS WHO MAY BE HOMESTEADED WILL GET THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION THAT CURRENTLY EXIST WHICH IS THE $25,000 SCHOOL EXEMPTION AND APPROXIMATELY $50,000 FOR OTHER THAN SCHOOL EXEMPTION. THEN, THERE IS AFTER JANUARY 1 OF 2030, AND I DON'T HAVE A DEFINITION FOR THIS YET, IT WAS A WHILE AGO FOR GOVERNMENT, IT WOULD ALLOW THE CITY TO REDUCE THE FIVE-YEAR REQUIREMENT FOR THE FULL HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION FO A CRITICAL LOCAL NEED TO. THAT WILL PROBABLY FLESHED OUT THE LATER. AND THEN, IT YOU WILL SEE ON TH NEXT LIGHT SLIDE, JEREMIAH, THA IT ALSO CREATES SIX CRITERIA OF HOW WE CAN HELP THE CITY CAN LUCAS SPEND THEIR MONEY.

INTERESTINGLY, WHEN THE JOINT RESOLUTION STARTED ITS JOURNEY, THE SIX REQUIREMENTS WERE IDENTIFYING THE PUBLIC SAFETY, THE INFRASTRUCTURE, NATURAL RESOURCES, RESOURCE PROJECTS, LOCAL BONDS, RETIREMENT. LATE IN THE SESSION WE GOT THE ADDITIONAL ITEM THAT ALLOWS SUSPENDED ON OPERATIONS.

IF IT MAKES THE OTHER SIX NOT NECESSARY, BUT WE WILL AGAIN FIND OUT MORE ABOUT HOW THIS IS GOING TO BE INTERPRETED AS IT PASSES THE NOVEMBER. IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE COUNTY PROPERTY DETERMINES THE VALUE AND APPLIES THE CONSTITUTIONAL EXCESS MEANT LIMITATIONS ON THE BILLS FOR THE FLORIDA DEPARTMEN OF REVENUE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE STATEWIDE GUIDANCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE FORMS AND OVERSIGHTS.

YOU WILL CONTINUE TO USE YOUR CERTIFIED TAXABLE VALUES, IF THIS PASSES BASED ON ALL THE LIMITATIONS THAT WOULD BE IN TH FLORIDA CONSTITUTION, A TOUGHER MILLAGE THAT IS GOING TO BE CHANGED BASED ON THE SENATE BIL THAT IS ALREADY PAST AND COMPLY WITH THE TRIM. , JEREMIAH?

>> IF THIS SLIDE WAS PROVIDED B THE LEAGUE OF CITIES AND IT ACTUALLY COMES FROM A SPREADSHEET.

I ASKED THE MANAGER TO LOOK AT THIS SLIDE SHOWS IF THE AMENDMENT PASSES, IT WOULD BE THE SECOND YEAR WITH $250,000 O EXEMPTION. OUR ESTIMATE OF REDUCTION IS 15.6 PERCENT AND REVENUE. THAT WOULD BE IN THE SECOND YEAR . THEN OF COURSE THE LEGISLATURE IS CHARGED WITH COMING UP WITH LEGISLATION TO ALLOW US TO HAVE A FULL HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION FOR PROPERTIES.

YOU WILL BE HAPPY TO KNOW THERE'S ONLY TEN, AND YOU ARE O A PER TICKET NEXT IS THIS I MET BILL THERE WAS A SENATE BILL ADOPTED IT BECAME EFFECTIVE JUL OUR CURRENT BUDGET CYCLE THAT W ARE IN. IT NOW CHANGES THE DEFINITION O THE ROLLBACK RATE AND BY REGULA MAJORITY YOU CAN ADOPT A REGULA ROLLBACK RATE AND WHAT'S IN THE LEGISLATION IS ABOUT THE ROLLBACK RATE, YOU CAN GET THE TWO THIRDS VOTES, AND THEN IF YOU WANTED TO GO ABOVE 110 PERCENT YOU WOULD NEED A UNANIMOUS VOTE, AND THAT WAS ALREADY IN THE STATUTE, IT SIMPLY THE DEFINITION OF THE ROLLBACK RATE THAT HAS CHANGE.

ALSO FOR THE SENATE BILL REENACTED CERTAIN SECTIONS OF T 18 OF THE FLORIDA STATUTES THAT HAD REDUCTION HAD STATUTORY

[00:25:09]

SECTIONS FOR COUNTIES TO OFFSET THE REVENUES AND I DON'T THINK WE WOULD QUALIFY BETTER PUTS THOSE BACK IN PLACE.

AS FOR THE PARKING EXERCISE, YOU'RE RESTRICTED TO 15 WORDS FOR THE TRIBAL AND 75 WORDS FOR THE BODY OF THE TEXT OF THE BALLOT. NEXT SLIDE, JEREMIAH, PLEASE? POTENTIAL WILL BE WATCHING LEGISLATURE.

JUDICIAL DECISIONS WHICH WE WIL TALK ABOUT IN A MOMENT AND CONSTITUTIONAL INTERPRETATION. , IT DOES MATTER.

IF THEY GO UP TO THE WHOLE EXEMPTION OF ALL AT FORM, TEXAS ON ONLY HOMESTEAD PROPERTIES. WHAT IS ALREADY HAPPENING WITH THE IF IT PASSES, YOU WILL HAVE TO LOOK AT IT EVERY YEAR IN THE IMPACTS AND START PHASING OUT HOW WE USE THE MONEY ALSO, MOST OF YOU ALREADY GET THAT NOTICES FROM THE FLORIDA LEAGUE OF CITIES BUT ON JULY 13TH AT 10:0 YOUR EDUCATIONAL WEBINAR THAT I CAN FORWARD TO YOU IF YOU HAVEN'T RECEIVED IT THAT IS TO TALK ABOUT A HIGHER LEVEL REVIE OF THE IMPORTANT DISTINCTIONS O WHAT YOU CAN AND CANNOT DO IN YOUR PERSONAL CAPACITY WHICH I' LOOKING INTO TO GIVE YOU SOME GUIDANCE ON THE BALLOT LANGUAGE AND WHAT YOU CAN AND CANNOT SAY AS COMMISSIONERS.

LEFT SIDE, JEREMIAH? ON THE BALLOT LANGUAGE, THE JOINT RESOLUTION, NOT THE SENAT BILL.

ONE OF THE LIFEGUARDS THAT HAS ONE OF THE SUITS RATE ADDITIONALLY, ANOTHER LAWSUIT HAS BEEN BY THE FORMER MAYOR OF SOUTH MIAMI, IT DONE THE CULTS OF THE FIRST LAWSUIT IN THEN A THIRD LAWSUIT, FILED BY A DIFFERENT LAW FIRM ON BEHALF OF TWO FORMER STATE LEGISLATURES. THEY WILL BE CONSOLIDATED, IT WILL BE JULY 29TH ON PROMOTIONS AND CROSS-MOTIONS FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT. AND THEN THEY ALSO HAVE A SCHEDULE READY FOR FILING A BRIEFING.

I THOUGHT WONT THAT BE INTERESTING TO OUR PUBLIC AS MOST OF OURS ARE VIA ZOOM. THIS MEETING IS LIVE, YOU'LL HAVE TO GO TO TALLAHASSEE. IT IS A CHALLENGE IS ABOUT LANGUAGE. THAT SIMPLY MEANS IF IT SUCCESSFUL ON EMOTIONAL IT WOUL GO BACK TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TO BE REWRITTEN. IT WOULD NOT TAKE THE MEASURE U THE BALLOT. THAT WAS THE UPDATE I HAVE FOR YOU TODAY ON THIS PIECE OF LEGISLATION.

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? >> QUESTIONS?

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

>> THANK YOU. >> THAT WILL BRING US WRITE A BOND INTO OUR PUBLIC COMMENT FO ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA.

I HAVE SOME FORMS HERE. OUR FIRST SPEAKER WILL BE MR.

JAMES PLETCHER. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

I WAS HERE ON JUNE 16TH MEETING JUST TO DO A RECAP, THAT WAS REQUESTING A VARIANCE FOR 1826 AMELIA AVENUE WHICH IS NOT A LO ON RECORD. SUBSTANDARD LOTS, UNDER THE.

>> CAN YOU STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS?

>> JAMES PLETCHER, 1809 PEACH STREET.

I'M SORRY FOR THAT, SIR. IT IS MAXIMUM LOT SIZE FOR THAT THIS ONE IS 8,400 SQUARE FEET. IT WAS ILLEGALLY SUBDIVIDED WITHOUT A VARIANCE BOAT THROUGH A QUIT CLAIM DEED.

WE HAVE 20 YEARS OF DOCUMENTATION WITH THIS, I SENT E-MAILS SEEING IF ANYBODY WANTE TO FOLLOW-UP.

I GOT A COUPLE OF E-MAILS BACK ONE WAS I WILL CHECK INTO IT,

[00:30:01]

THE OTHER WAS SORRY FOR YOUR TROUBLE, AND THE OTHER ONE WAS I'M NOT DOING ANYTHING WITH THIS , WHICH IS BEYOND THE PALE, FOR 09 STANLEY DRIVE, THE CITY MADE THEM GO THROUGH A VARIANCE PROCESS. EVERYBODY'S OATH OF OFFICE IS T PROTECT THE FLORIDA CONSTITUTION , THE CITY CHARTER AND THAT INCLUDES ALL RULES, REGULATIONS AND ORDINANCES.

IT IS ESSENTIALLY MALFEASANCE, IT'S NOT A GOOD FEED VIOLATION TO SEEK ILLEGALITY AND NOT ACT UPON IT.

THIS MALFEASANCE, IF IT'S NOT A GOOD FAITH VIOLATION OPENS UP PEOPLE PERSONALLY TO ANY DAMAGE INCURRED BY MA, BUT THEY.

OUR ASKING IS TO PROTECT HER NEIGHBORHOOD.

THERE IS NO OTHER HOUSE OR DWELLING LIKE THIS.

IT DOESN'T CONFORM TO THE FLUME IT DOESN'T CONFORM TO LTC.

I DON'T THINK THAT'S A TALL ORDER.

NO ONE IS ASKING FOR THE HOUSE TO BE TORN DOWN.

WE'RE ASKING FOR A VARIANCE BOAT .

IF IT'S LEGAL, LET IT STAND. YOU HAVE TO FILE THE RULES.

THIS IS LEGAL AND LAWFUL ISSUE. YOU ARE OUR LAST LINE OF DEFENSE , WE ARE JUST ASKING FOR HELP.

NOBODY SEEMS WILLING TO HELP OR HAS THE BRAVERY TO HELP, AND WE JUST NEED SOME HELP BECAUSE AT SOME POINT INMATES HAVE TO SO M HOUSE, AND A FIGHT OCCUR OF $100,000 PROPERTY LOSS, THAT COULD BE DEVASTATING. SOME PEOPLE IN THE AREA MAY HAV $100,000 THEY CAN SPONSOR, I DON'T.

I'M A WORKING PERSON. I JUST WANT YOU TO PROTECT NOT ONLY ME, BUT MY NEIGHBOR SPRAYE MY NEIGHBORS PROPERTY WILL SUFFER AS WELL. IT'S NOT RIGHT TO ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

>> NEXT WE HAVE MR. MICHAEL TRUCK.

>> A LIVE HIT WHEN 30 NORTH NINTH STREET HERE.

I WANT TO SPEAK ON PAID PARKING FOR MINUTE.

GUESS LETTING THESE TO BE CALLE UP FOR WHAT IT IS FOR MOST OF I COMES FROM PEOPLE THAT WANT GET A VOTE BECAUSE THEY DON'T LIVE HERE IN THE CITY IN THEY DON'T SHARE A TAX BURDEN WITH US RIGH THIS NONSENSE ABOUT DOWNTOWN BEING AN ECONOMIC DESTRUCTION ZONE IS JUST RIDICULOUS. NO BETTER PLACE FOR A RETAILER WITHIN DOWNTOWN FERNANDINA BEACH .

NONE OF THEM ARE WE TRADE THEIR SPOTS OR ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE COUNTY. HAVE LET'S GIVE US IT A REASON COUPLE OF BUSINESSES HAVE FAILE IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA.

HERE ARE SOME BUSINESSES THAT HAVE FAILED IT STRAIGHT, IT IS NOW IN ITS THIRD OR FOURTH TRIE AND OTHERS.

THE EXERCISE CYCLING PLACE RIGH ON THE STREET FROM FATS IS NOW DIRECT WHERE THE EXERCISED NEW PLACE FILLED.

DOWN THE ROAD IS A FAILED COVER PILCHER.

SOLD FOR A DOLLAR TO THE NEW OWNER SO THEY COULD ASSUME THE DEBT OR IT WOULD HAVE CLOSED. HALF HALFTIME RESTAURANT HALFTIME SPORTS BAR CLOSED, IT WAS PREVIOUS NUMEROUS OTHER SPORTS BARS AND NOW IT IS A LATIN AMERICA DINER.

WINN-DIXIE WAS REPLACED BY AN ALDI STORE HALF ITS SIZE.

NUMEROUS TOURISM THAT STRIP MAL HAVE COME AND BONE.

APPLEBEE'S RESTAURANT CLOSED IN WAS VACANT FOR YEARS BEFORE THE BEACH DINER REOPENED AT. NUMEROUS BUSINESSES HAVE COME AND GONE. FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD, TUESDAY MORNING CLOSED ALONG WITH NUMEROUS BUSINESSES THAT HAVE COME AND GONE. I PROBABLY MISSED A DOZEN OTHER SPRAYED THE ONE THING THAT ALL OF THESE BUSINESSES HAD IN COMMON WAS FREE PERKING. ON THE FLIPSIDE, THE BAKERIES HAVE OPENED UP THEIR SECOND LOCATION AT DOWNTOWN AND THE OWNER IS REOPENING AND SOMETHIN IN.

ITS GAS LIGHTING AND NONSENSE. THEY RECOGNIZE SOME ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES ON. EVERYONE HAS THEY'RE OWN.

I'M FOR IT BECAUSE I THINK IT SUITED TAXPAYERS SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR ALL THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO ACCOMMODATE A MILLION AND A HALF AND OVER 100,000 NON- CITY COUNTY

[00:35:02]

RESIDENTS EVERY YEAR. THEY ARE DOUBLE WHAT HOMEOWNERS OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS PLAY. THERE IS SOME NEGATIVE THINGS, AND IF THOSE ARE ENOUGH FOR THE VOTERS TO REJECT THEIR $1 MILLION PLUS THAT WE WILL RECEIVE TO OBSTET SOME OF OUR EXPENSES, SO BE IT, BUT STOP GA LIGHTING YOUR FELLOW CITIZENS.

THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO CAN POSSIBL BELIEVE THIS STUFF ARE THOSE THAT REALLY COME DOWNTOWN, JUST EITHER THRIVING COMMUNITY ARE

CITY STILL AS. >> THANK YOU.

, MR. STEVE CASINO. >> GOOD EVENING, FOR 24 M STREET . REGIONAL DIRECTOR FOR AN BOARD MEMBER FOR A PLATE OF FAMILIAL. I JUST WANT TO THINK THE SAFETY FOR THEIR CONTINUED SUPPORT FOR THE HOMETOWN FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION. MOVING THE EVENT TO WATERFRONT PARK FISHER WAS EXCELLENT. THE PART PROVIDED FACILITIES THAT LIGHT UP AMELIA WENT OTHERWISE HAVE NEEDED TO COORDINATE SUCH A STRESS FACILITY IS ALREADY THERE, RESTROOM FACILITIES, AND THE PAVILION ALLOWED US TO HAVE A BUILT-IN STAGE FOR OUR DJ AND SPONSOR TABLES.

I ALSO WOULD BE REMISS IF I GIV A SPECIAL THANKS TO THAT CHRIST HEAR FOR BEING OUR MC LEADING U TO THE FIREWORKS GOING OFF.

I WOULD LIKE TO ENCOURAGE THE CITY TO CONTINUE TO CONSIDER BUILDING A FENCE TO OTHER FRONT PART.

>> NEXT UPCOMING MR. CHAD CHARLIE.

>> I AM 3046 THE AVENUE. AT YOUR THE FLAT CAMERAS.

IF YOU KNOW ABOUT THE LOCKET MA BE AS A RESPONSE OF ITS WITH TH SUPER BOWL IT AND COME OUT THE RING FLOCK INTEGRATION WOULD HAVE ALLOWED POLICE ROOT FOR INVESTIGATION FOLLOWING THE BIGGEST PROBLEM REALIZED AMIDST NATIONWIDE DATABASE, THIS IS A MASSIVE TROPHY VEHICLE FINGERPRINTS ALLOWING LAW-ENFORCEMENT CHICKEN THOSE WITH FLOCK ACCESS CAN CREATE A DETAILED EXCESS OF WHERE PEOPLE TRAVEL AND WHEN THE HEAT MAP OF YOUR MOVEMENT. BY EXPANDING ACCESS, FLOCK CAMERAS CREATE NEW OPPORTUNITIE FOR WATCHLIST, BLACKLIST, AND BROADER FORMS OF MONITORING OUTSIDE OF LAW GREAT CLOCK DOESN'T HAVE A DIRECT PARTNERSHIP, ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES ARE FREE TO SHARE THE WITH DEPARTMENTS LIKE ICE AND THEY FREQUENTLY DO. THE LICENSE PLATE READERS ARE UTILIZED BY OVER 5,0001 ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES.

GREAT THEY HAVE MASS SURVEILLANCE USED BY.

DATE LICENSE PLATE NUMBERS, THE SAFETY CAMERAS CAPTURE YOUR UNIT , MODEL COLOR IN ANY DISTINGUISHES NICHE OR.

IT PROVIDES IN THE FINAL RESULT ARE DEEPLY INFLUENCED BY HOW CUSTOMERS USE IT, THAT CAN BE CREEPY AT BEST AND AT LEGAL ABUSE OF POWER AT RISK FOR IT THEY BEGIN PARTNERING WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT AND GROWING NUMBER OF OFFICERS HAVE BEEN FOUND ABUSING THE SYSTEM. IN ONE INSTANCE, A KANSAS POLIC CHIEF USED THEM 164 TIMES WHAT STRACHAN AND X IN ANOTHER CASE, HE LIED ABOUT USING TO TRACK A MISSING PERSON WITNESS LATER FOUND TO BE INVESTIGATING A POSSIBLE ABORTION.

I SHARED A FLORIDA STORY WITH YOU ABOUT A LOT ENFORCEMENT OFFICER STALKING A WOMAN HE MET AT A MOVIE SHOOT VIA SURVEILLANCE AND HAS ACCESS TO A .

IN THE PAST TWO YEARS AGO A NUMBER OF STATE MEMBERS HAVE PROPOSED TO ADDRESS LICENSE PLATE READERS AND SURVEILLANCE FOR IT THIS IS BIPARTISAN LEGISLATION.

I'M CONCERNED ABOUT TWO CAMERAS AT THE INTERSECTION OF ATLANTIC TURNS IN JUST UNDER STREET GOIN TO FOLLOW-UP WITH YOU ABOUT WHA KIND OF CAMERAS THOSE ARE, WHAT DATA THEY ARE COLLECTING, WHO HAS ACCESS TO THAT DATA AND FOR HOW LONG.

THIS IS A SUBJECT I'VE ONLY RECENTLY BECOME AWARE OF UNTIL PRESENT HAVE MANY ANSWERS, BUT CAN RECOGNIZE A HELL OF A POTENTIAL PROBLEM. ACROSS US ACROSS PARTY AND FOR ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE A GOOD WIN IN AN ELECTION YEAR I WOULD BE WITH YOU TO KEEP THESE SURVEILLANCE OUT OF FERNANDINA

BEACH. >> THANK YOU.

>> JACK AMBERG, 1003 BERM STREET .

[00:40:03]

FERNANDINA BEACH AS IT TURNS OUT .

OB COULD GO, TODAY, AND THE AFTERNOON, COMING BACK FROM ERRANDS I DON'T JUST CODE ENFORCEMENT PULLING SIGNS UP FROM CITY EASEMENT AREAS IN FRONT OF PEOPLE'S YARDS.

MY FIRST QUESTION WAS WHEN THER IS ENFORCEMENT FOR CODES VIOLATION, THERE IS GENERALLY A PROCEDURE HERE.

IF IT'S NOT, IF IT'S ONLY AGAINST POLITICAL SIGNS, THEN THERE IS MORE QUESTIONS THAT COME INTO PLAY.

NUMBER ONE, WHY ISN'T IT CLEARL STATED, AND COME OUT WHY NOW, S CLOSE TO AN ELECTION. THE OTHER THING IS, BECAUSE I WENT AND PHOTO DOCUMENTED OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS, THE SIGNS THAT WEREN'T MISSING WERE VERY INTERESTING AND SUSPECT.

I DON'T WANT TO USE NAMES AT THIS POINT, BUT IT WILL PROBABL SHOW UP LATER IN ANOTHER INVESTIGATION.

I NOTICED A LOT OF THINGS AND M AREA THAT CODE ENFORCEMENT HAS COMPLETELY IGNORED. A LOT OF BUILDINGS ARE ABANDONED , MANY ARE DERELICT, AND AT LEAST TWO OF THESE BUILDINGS ARE FALLING DOWN, PUBLIC HAZARDS AND PUBLIC NUISANCES. THIS IS TO CREEPY TO BE BELIEVED . TO EXPAND ON THIS, WHEN I ASKED CODE ENFORCEMENT THE PERSON DOING THIS PEOPLE CAN GO DOWNTOWN AND PICK UP THEIR SONS. HOW WHAT THEY KNOW THEIR WORDS WERE STOLEN, USE THE WORD SORT BECAUSE WE PAY FOR THE SIGNS.

IT BRINGS US TO A BIGGER ISSUE. I REALLY THINK MAKE SHARP FOR THE WORD GAS LIGHTING BECAUSE YOU KNOW IT'S A SHORT TRIP FROM GAS LIGHTING TO FRAUD. WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT IS THERE IS A FEDERAL LAW THAT MANDATES HOW SIGNS, TRAFFIC SIGNS ARE REGULATED, MANDATED, STANDARDIZED, AND EXPECTED TO B FOR THE PUBLIC USE AND THE PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING.

THIS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS. WHAT ARE THE RISKS CLERKS.

>> THANK YOU. >> WHEN MY SECOND.

>> YOUTUBE.

>> GOOD EVENING. TO 85 HUMPHREY STREET, FORMALLY 2504 TO STRAITS, FERNANDINA BEACH.

WE MAY BE GOOD FOR PAID PARKING BECAME AN.

SOMEBODY WHO VOTED FOR EVERYONE IF YOU COME UP SOME OF YOU MORE THAN ONCE. PAID PARKING IS FINE, IT WORKS, THE HARDEST PART OF SIGNING UP WAS CHECKING AND MY TECH NUMBER AND THE COST WAS REASONABLE, I PAID IT MAYBE TO DOZEN TIMES SINCE IT WENT LIVE, I GOT A TICKETING ERROR IN MAY, FOLLOWE DIRECTIONS TO DISPUTED, SHOWED THAT KATE AND TIME THAT I GOT A E-MAIL ASKING TO SEND A SCREENSHOT AND A REPLY WITHIN A HOUR I GOT AN INVOICE WITH A 0 BALANCE.

GUESS WHAT I DIDN'T GET? IS $75 INVOICE PROCESSING FEE.

IT'S ALMOST LIKE THAT'S A LIBRARY RECENTLY GOT A NEW ORLEANS RESIDENTIAL PASS INTO THE SURPRISE OF NO ONE, THAT WA EASY ALSO, WHEN I ASKED MY FRIENDS WHO PAY TAXES HERE WHER THEY DON'T SPEAK OUT, THEY SAID PEOPLE ARE SO NASTY ON FACEBOOK THEY DON'T WANT TO GET INVOLVED. I DON'T LIVE AND DIE BY THE COMMENT SECTIONS AND I DON'T LIVE HERE SO I WILL SPEAK UP.

WHEN IT'S GOT ME WORKED UP RIGH NOW IS THE AGEISM I'M SEEING.

WHERE OLD, WE'RE NOT STUPID. I'M 71, BUT I LIKE TO THINK I A PRETTY TECH SAVVY, I DRIVE A TESLA, BUT I'M ALSO THE GRANDMA WHO CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW MY 11 -YEAR-OLD GRANDSON PROGRAM THE CAR TO MAKE START NOISES, SO YO BE THE JUDGE.

[00:45:02]

[7.1 BUDGET AMENDMENTS - MARINA — RESOLUTION 2026-81 APPROVING BUDGET AMENDMENTS WITHIN THE MARINA FUND; AUTHORIZING ADMINISTRATIVE CORRECTION OF SCRIVENER'S ERRORS; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Synopsis: Approves budget amendments for various accounts within the Marina fund.]

HE GET THAT MOTION PASSES FIVE DISPENSER WHICH BRINGS US TO SEVEN-POINT ONE WHICH IS A BUDGET AMENDMENT TAKE US AWAY.

I WILL HAVE HIM GIVE YOU A DETAILED BREAKDOWN OF THE REASONS BEHIND THIS. IT IS RELATED TO THE ESCALATION OF FUEL PRICES. THE MARINA USER SELECT A FUEL, AND THAT IS OF COURSE FOR RESAL TO OTHER BOATS THAT VISIT THEIR MARINA, SO WHAT IS PROPOSED AS TRANSFER OF THE MARINA RESERVES THIS IS COMING FROM THE MARINA FUND TO THE FUEL RESELL ACCOUNTS , WE BUDGET $1.1 BILLION IN FISCAL YEAR 26 FOR THE PURCHASE OF FUEL, AND AS YOU AR AWARE AT THE PUMP, FUEL PRICES HAVE INCREASED NEARLY 30 PERCEN IN THE THIRD QUARTER REALLY A SECOND PORTRAIT HERE, YOU CAN SEE THAT FEBRUARY WILL EAT MARC THROUGH JUNE ISSUE CAN SEE THE ESCALATION OF FUEL PRICES CLEMENT AND THE MARINE WORLD SINCE COMPARED TO 2025 THAT YEA OVER YEAR, LAST YEAR. THAT INCREASES A REALLY IMPACTE THE MARINA REFILL AMOUNTS. IT HAS BEEN AN INCREASE WE BUDGETED FOR A LITTLE BIT LESS ANTICIPATING WHEN WE BEGAN THIS BUDGET LAST YEAR AT THIS TIME, THAT THE WILL BE STARTING A LITTLE SOONER PER THERE WILL BE A LIBERAL LESS REDUCTION IF YOU WILL. THAT WILL BE INTO NEXT YEAR.

YOU CAN SEE THE DRIVING FACTOR IS NEARLY 30 PERCENT INCREASE I FUEL FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND THA WAS RIGHT DURING OUR TRANSIENT SEASON. A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ART MARINA FUELING OPERATIONS. NEARLY 600,000 GALLONS OF YOUR THE MAJORITY OF WHICH IS DIESEL AND THAT'S WHERE WE SAW A BIG INCREASE. IT'S A BIG PART OF THE MARINA REVENUE. THAT WORD NETTING ABOUT $40,000 A MONTH AND THAT'S ABOUT $470,000 A YEAR THAT WE MAKE OF OF SELLING THAT $600,000 OF FUEL .

IT'S A MAJOR SOURCE OF ITS COMING FROM WITHIN THE FUND, REINVESTING BACK INTO ITSELF. THERE IS OF COURSE A PROFIT MARGIN BUILT INTO, BUT WE MAY A WE GET TO THE END OF THIS FISCA YEAR HE'D LOOKING TO MAKE ANOTHER ADJUSTMENT AS WE CLOSE UP THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2 ADJUSTMENT 26.

AS MENTIONED EARLIER, THE FUEL IMPROVEMENTS THAT WILL HAPPEN OVER WATER, THAT WILL INCREASE VOLUME FOR THE BIGGER BOATS, TH BIGGER BOAT UCL THERE ON THE BREAKWATER.COM, BUT THEY DON'T FUEL UP YOUR, WE CANNOT PROVIDE ENOUGH FUEL, ENOUGH VOLUME.

IT WOULD TAKE HOURS IF NOT DAYS TO FUEL SOME OF THESE BIGGER BOATS, SO THIS WOULD SET US UP FOR HIGHER VOLUME, BIGGER PUMPS IN THE FUTURE SO WE COULD REALL MAXIMIZE ON THEIR FUELING.

THAT'S A SNAPSHOT ON WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THAT RESOLUTION 26

[00:50:03]

-81. >> ANY QUESTIONS?

>> IS THE GOAL WITH THE FUEL SALE TO PUT ANY NET PROFIT BACK

INTO THE RESERVES? >> YES.

ABSOLUTELY. WHEN ALL THAT CLEARS OUT AT THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR, THAT WILL GO BACK TO THE RESERVES AN BE A CASH BALANCE FORWARD INTO NEXT YEAR.

>> THANK YOU. >> I MOVED TO APPROVE.

>> I HAVE A MOTION AND THE SECOND.

Synopsis: Authorizes grant application to FDEP Resilient Florida in Fiscal Year 2026/2027 for downtown seawall construction, in an amount to be determined by the City Commission, which requires a 100% City match.]

THAT PASSES 5-0, WHICH BRINGS U TO ANOTHER GRANT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT FOR PROTECTION ACTION.

>> CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 2026 DISH 83 IS ANOTHER GRANT APPLICATION THIS ONE TO THE RESILIENT FLORIDA PROGRAM THIS IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT TO WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING IN THE PAST, WHAT WE'VE APPLIED FOR PREVIOUSLY ARE REQUESTING A DIRECT STATE APPROPRIATIONS THI IS A STRUCTURED GRANT PROGRAMS PROGRAM THAT WE LEARNED ABOUT WHEN WE VISITED IN TALLAHASSEE THIS PAST YEAR. THIS HAS AN MATCH, A 100 PERCEN MATCH, SO WHATEVER WE APPLY FOR IN REQUEST, WE WOULD BE ON THE HOOK FOR MATCHING 100 PERCENT. J'S IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT THE GRANT PROGRAM, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS WE NEED TO IDENTIFY IS WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO ASK FOR KNOWING WE ARE GOING TO BE ON THE HOOK FOR 100 PERCENT MATCH, LOOKING AT SOME OF THE PRIOR YEAR ALLOCATIONS, THEY HAVE BEE UP TO ABOUT $10 MILLION, BUT MS $3 MILLION WINDOW IS A REAL TARGETED AREA, BUT AGAIN THAT I UP FOR DISCUSSION IN YOU KNOW, WHEN WE APPLY FOR SOMETHING AND IF BY CHANCE WE ARE A WORD TO BIT, YOU WOULD STILL COME BACK TO APPROVAL IN WE COULD DECLINE TO ACCEPT THE GRANT AGREEMENT I WE DIDN'T THINK THEY HAD THE FUNDING CAPABILITY AT THAT TIME. MISS JACOBS, G1 TO AT ANYTHING RIGHT NOW OR JUST ANSWER QUESTIONS?

>> THE PRINCE, WE HAVE GONE FOR A COUPLE OF OTHER TERMS, IT'S PART OF THE STATE RATE VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT PER VEHICLE FOR THEM. RETURNS FOR FORCIBLY HARD, THEY HAVE A LIST OF ABOUT 150 PROJECTS THEY ARE RECOMMENDED FOR EACH THERE IS A FELLOWSHIP AND PLEAS PLACED PLEASED IN MULTIYEAR FRANCE, SO YOU STAY O TOP OF THE LIST.

THAT ESTIMATES ARE FOR ABOUT WILL COMPLETE ABOUT 71 PERCENT OF THE CITY-OWNED PARCELS OF TH SEAWALL, SO CONTINUING TO TRY T GET MONEY 100 PERCENT, ESPECIALLY WIMMER SO CLOSE WOUL BE A VERY GOOD IDEA. I THINK, HE IS DOING SOME ANALYSIS OR SOME OUTREACH TO PERHAPS COME UP WITH A RECOMMENDATION FOR HOW MUCH WE GO TO THIS GRANT, WE WANTED TO

[00:55:04]

BRING THIS TO YOU EARLY BECAUSE YOU MAY NOT HAVE THE DECISION TONIGHT YOU CAN BRING IT ON YOU NEXT AGENDA WHICH IS DUE AT THE END OF AUGUST. SO COME UP MY GOAL IS TO JUST START THE DISCUSSION AND SEE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

>> ANY QUESTIONS? >> 'S SO WE SPECIFICALLY LOOKIN AT THIS FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE SEA WHILE.

OTHER OTHER COMPONENTS WE CAN D TO INTERPRET OTHER OTHER PIECES OF RESILIENCE ALONG THE WATERFRONT THAT THAT THIS WOULD APPLY TO, OR IS THIS JUST WHERE WE'RE FOCUSING.

TO GET THERE IS A LIST OF PROJECTS.

IT DOES SEEM DESIRABLE TO FINIS THAT SEAWALL COMPONENT.

A STRONG EXPECTATION BECAUSE WE ARE SO CLOSE.

WE ARE DOWN AT NUMBER 90, TRYIN TO WORK OUR WAY UP.

>> I THINK WE SHOULD APPLY FOR EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN DO.

IF WE HAVE TO MATCH 100 PERCENT $1 MILLION IS BETTER THAN HAVIN TO PAY TO COMMEMORATE? I WOULD FULLY SUPPORT US MOVING

FORWARD WITH THIS. >> ABSOLUTELY.

>> THE QUESTION IS HOW MUCH SHOULD WE, AND THAT IS A BUDGET QUESTION BECAUSE IT WOULD GO IN THE BUDGET WE ARE GOING TO BUIL NEXT MONTH WOULD GO THE 100 PERCENT MATCH.

>> THE CHARMING WESTWOOD VIEWER WORDED NEXT, ON JULY 1 OF 27.

IT WOULD PROBABLY AFFECT THEIR 27 DISTRICT 28 FISCAL YEAR.

>> A YEAR WE MIGHT HAVE NO MONEY .

TO GET THEM IT'S GOOD TO GET 50 PERCENT.

>> AS WE CLICK IN WE NEED ABOUT $2 MILLION TO FINISH EVERYTHING BUT THE BOAT LAUNCH SECTION. WE BOTH ARE WORKING ON WE ARE LOOKING AT GRANTS FOR THE BOAT LAUNCH SECTION ITSELF AS WELL.

OF WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THAT AT THIS POINT THOUGH SAFETY HAS NO SPENT ANY MONEY ON THE RESILIENCY WE HAVE A ONE MILLION-DOLLAR GRANT TO RISK AN THE REST OF IT HAS BEEN FUNDED BY THE STATE. IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO SPEND A LITTLE BIT OF OUR OWN FUNDS SHOULD WE HAVE IT.

>> THANK YOU. I BELIEVE YOU MENTIONED THAT NUMBER $3 MILLION, BUT WE HAVE TO MILLION DOLLARS AFTER ONE TR TO GET TO 3 MILLION OR TO GET FROM WHERE TICKETS ARE TWO.

I THINK IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO PULL A MILLION FROM THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET, THAT WE SPEND TYPICALLY ON AN ANNUAL BASIS ON PROJECTS FOR A MILLION WE COULD FIND IN CAPITAL, 1.5, WE COULD GET THERE. I DON'T HAVE ANY CONCERNS WITH

THE $1.5 MILLION MATCH. >> AND YOU MEAN WE WOULD PULL I FROM CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT MEANIN DELAY THE OTHER PROJECTS.

THEY DO CLEARLY SAY FLORIDA AND NATIONAL RECREATION TRENDS.

PARKS AND RECREATION IS. >> TO GET YES, THEY WILL DO SOM PURE STUDIES ON OUR NEIGHBORS WITH WINSTON COUNTY, THEY WILL DRAW SOME OF THAT INFORMATION A WELL, WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

WHAT WILL SECTION AFFECT US, THAT WILL BE PART OF THE PLAN.

>> APPRECIATED. >> I HAVE TWO REQUEST TO SPEAK

IF THERE ARE NO OTHERWISE. >> RICHARD DEAN FOR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO CREATE IMPORTANT TOOLS FOR IT I SUPPOR THEM, BUT I WOULD ASK THAT YOU DEFER THIS PROPOSAL FOR A COUPL OF REASONS. ONE, WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT SOCCER FIELDS FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS AND MONTHS.

WE'RE GOING TO SPEND $100,000 YEAR ON PHASE ONE OF THIS PROJECT ANOTHER IT IF I BUY THINK SHOULD BE DEDICATED TO SOLVING THE EXISTING PROBLEM YO KNOW RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF THOSE VERY I THINK THEY ARE ALS SOME DATA COLLECTION ASPECTS OF THIS PROPOSAL THAT MAY BE COULD BE PERFORMED NOT BY CONSULTANT, BUT BY STAFF VERY DEFINITE THIS IS A BIGGER ISSUE WITH THE CITY WHICH WE'VE GOT TOOLS WITH THE INTERNET, WITH AR TOOLS I THINK WE PROBABLY HAVE ACCESS TO OURSELVES.

I JUST THINK IN LOUISVILLE WE MAY BE FACING WITH THE ISSUE ON THE BALLOT I THINK THIS IS THE PROJECT THAT WE NEED TO SET ASIDE. IT'S IMPORTANT YOU DO THESE THINGS YOU DEVELOP PRIORITIES I THE COMMUNITY AGREEMENT, BUT I THINK THIS PROPOSAL IS LACKING. I THINK THE CONCEPT IS WHAT I SUPPORT. I DON'T THINK THE TIMING IS RIGHT AND I THINK WE SHOULD PROCESSES I START EXISTING ADDRESSING CURRENT THINGS LIKE THIS HARDER FIELDS.

>> NEXT UP. KANKA SKELTON, 61 OAK ROAD PLAC PLACE IN THE GREAT TOWN OR CITY OF FERNANDINA BEACH.

I LIKE TO DISCUSS POSTAL BECAUS I HAVE BEEN, FOR SOME REASON I HAVE BEEN STUDYING OTHER STUFF IN I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHY, BUT I LOOKED AT THIS PROPOSAL FROM KIMBERLY HORAN AND WHAT I GOT

[01:05:05]

ABOVE IT IS THERE GOING TO LOOK TO SEE WHAT WE HAVE.

THEY ARE GOING TO SEE WHO USES ITS, THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE SOM MEETINGS WITH THE CITY THEY ARE GOING TO DO A FEW SURVEYS, THEY'RE GOING TO MEET WITH A COUPLE OF GROUPS LIKE THE SOCCE PEOPLE, BASEBALL, SKATEBOARDERS PICK UP ALL PEOPLE.

THEY WILL LOOK AT TRENDS ON THE INTERNETS AND THEN THEY ARE GOING TO DO THIS AND SIX MONTHS. WHICH IS AUGUST TO JANUARY WHEN HALF THE PEOPLE MIGHT NOT EVEN BE HERE.

IT JUST COMES TO MIND IS I CAN' THIS BE DONE IN-HOUSE.

YOU HAVE STAFF EXCEPT THE SWIMMING PULLS, YOU HAVE OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE AROUND GREAT ALSO, ISN'T THIS PART OF PARKS AND RECREATIONAL BOARD TO WORK ON ISSUES LIKE THIS, AND FIGURE IT OUT, SO THEY CAN GET TO YOU GUYS?

THAT'S ALL HE HAD TO SAY. >> THANK YOU.

KNOW OF A REQUEST TO SPEAK OF THIS ITEM.

WE HAVE ANY REQUEST FROM THE COMMISSIONER.

>> I HAVE A MISSION AND THE SECOND.

ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION? >> CAN I MAKE ONE COMMENT? I DON'T DISAGREE THAT THIS IS A LOT OF MONEY, AND I TO POTENTIALLY THINK STAFF COULD D IT IN-HOUSE.

THAT ROAD REQUIRES STAFF TIME. AND AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF TIME STAFF ARE PAID LIVING WAGES, AN SO WE COULD POTENTIALLY EASY GE TO 100,000 JOE BURROW'S WORTH O COST, BUT WE ARE ALREADY PAYING AND, PARTS OF BRACKETS ONE OF OUR BIGGEST BUDGETS, WE SPEND ABOUT $100,000 A YEAR ON A. OF HER TEN EUROS, THAT'S $50 MILLION, IT SEEMS LIKE AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY, BUT IT'S ABOUT TWO TENTHS OF 1 PERCENT OF TEN EUROS WORTH OF PARTS AND RECOLLECTED TRIP. I DON'T REALLY VIEW THIS AS BUYING A PLAN, I VIEW IT AS BUYING A DIRECTION.

WE NEED A LOT OF DOPPLER EFFECT AND EXPERT NEEDS TO PUT TOGETHE FOR US FOR IT AND NOT JUST FOR US, BUT FOR FUTURE COMMISSIONS OF WHERE DO WE WANT TO SPEND OU MONDAY, WHERE IS IT WISE ENOUGH TO SPEND OUR MONEY IN THEY ARE INCLUDING A RESILIENCY COMPONEN IN HERE FOR FUTURE CLIMATE CHANGE ISSUES AND SEE PRICE AND A LOT OF OUR FACILITIES BEING I FLOODPLAINS, WHAT IS THE BEST PATH FORWARD. WE EAT BETTER DIRECTION AND MY OPINION IN WE SCALE THIS FACT SIGNIFICANTLY.

THERE WON'T BE AN ADDITIONAL $85,000 SPENT, IT IS JUST HURT USE THE WORD JUST WITH $100,000 BUT IT SAYS PROJECT ALONE AND I

THINK WE NEED TO SPEND IT. >> ONE OF THE REASONS WHY.

>> IF YOU DON'T MIND. >> ACTUALLY, I AGREE WITH THE TWO SPEAKERS. THIS 100,000 OVERS COULD BE SPENT ON ITEMS THAT WE HAVE IDENTIFIED TODAY, I DID PLANNIN FOR TOMORROW BUT WE THINK PLENT OF PROJECTS AND PARTS OF RIGHTS COULD USE 100,000 OVERS SO I'M NO ON THE.

>> THANK YOU. >> THE REASON I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT MORE THIN CITY STAFF STAYING IS GIVING MORE CREDIBILITY TO THE OVERALL PROJECT.

THEY WILL BRING AN EXPERTISE FROM OTHER PLACES THAT HAVE HIT SIMILAR SITUATIONS. THEY ARE 70 YEARS OLD.

AT WHAT POINT DO YOU COME TO TH REALIZATION THAT WE HAVE GOT TO WEIGH OVER AGED BUILDINGS, THEY WERE ALL BUILT AT THE SAME TIME.

HOW MUCH FURTHER DO YOU, AND WHAT POINT DO YOU NEED THE CREDIBILITY TO THE HUMANITY. I KEEP HEARING WE NEED TO TALK TO THE COMMUNITY WE NEED TO HAV MORE CREDIBILITY.

THEN WHEN YOU TRY TO DO IT FOR THE COMMUNITY, IT'S LIKE WE DON'T WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY O THAT.

WELL, WE WANT SOCCER FIELDS, WE WANT SKATEBOARD PARKS, WE WANT THE WATERFRONT, WE WANT TO, WE WANT, WE WANT, ALL THESE THINGS WE NEED, I THINK THIS HELPS WIT THE PRIORITY IN IT WILL NARROW

[01:10:07]

SOME THINGS DOWN THAT MAYBE WE CAN HAVE TUPLES LIKELY TO HAVE.

OR WE CAN'T DO THIS TYPE OF SKATE PARK OR PET.

OR WE VIEW WE DON'T WANT TO DO THE SOCCER FIELDS THE WAY WE WANT TO DO SOCCER FIELDS VERY FIVE OF US ARE PURE, LOOKING ABOUT THE FACEBOOK STUFF. WE ARE TRYING TO COME TO SOME TYPE OF GATHERING. SMART PEOPLE TO DIAL THIS THING DOWN AND THEM HAVE A PLAN MOVIN FORWARD.

THAT'S WHAT I THINK THIS IS THE MEANS TO.

>> WITH NO OTHER REQUEST TO SPEAK TO THE COMMISSION, DO I

HAVE A MOTION? >> SO MOVE.

>> EMOTION IN THE SECOND, ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION? PLEASE START THE VOTE. THAT MOTION PASSES 4-1 THAT

BRINGS US TO MOTION 7.5, THE SPECIAL EVENT ROAD CLOSURE.

TAKE YOU THINK YOUR, THIS IS CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 20 TO .685 WHICH IS TO SEPARATE ROAD CLOSURES FOR PRIVATE EVENT BEING HELD ON DOWNTOWN STREETS, BUT FIRST IT'S A WELLS FARGO PRIVATE COMPANY EVENT ON PORTIO FROM SECOND TO THIRD, THE SECON IS FOR A RITZ-CARLTON PRIVATE EVENT FROM FRONT STREET TO SECOND STREET. THESE ARE NOT SPONSORED CITY EVENT SO THEY ARE REQUIRED TO PAY THE FEES THAT ARE SET FORTH IN FEES SCHEDULE, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THESE TW

CLOSURES. >> THANK YOU.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? >> I HAVE TO RECUSE MYSELF BECAUSE ONE OF THESE EVENTS IS FOR OUR BUSINESSES.

>> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER. >> I WOULD MOVE TO APPROVE

RESOLUTION 26-85. >> I HAVE PERMISSION, TO AVIS

AIKEN? >> I HAVE A SECOND.

TO GET ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION .

>> ONE ITEM IN OUR FEE IS. WHEN I LOOK AT THESE ROAD CLOSURES, I DON'T NECESSARILY LOVE THE IDEA OF CLOSING A ROAD FOR A PRIVATE EVENT, BUT ONE OF THE EVENTS IT BREAKS TO BRING 700 PEOPLE ON THE MONDAY WHEN SCHOOL IS IN SESSION, SO I THIN THAT IS GOING TO BRING IN A LOT OF BUSINESS TO DOWNTOWN WHEN TRADITIONALLY IT IS VERY QUIET DOWN HERE.

THINK OVERALL THIS IS AN OVERAL WIN FOR THE CITY.

I HAVE A QUESTION FOR WONDER IF WE WANT TO CONSIDER IN THE FUTURE. IF AN EVENT CLOSES MAJOR ARTERY I KNOW IN THE FEE SCHEDULE, YOU PAY BY BLOCK FORECLOSURE.

IS THERE ANY ADDITIONAL FEE IF YOU ARE CLOSING.

>> THIS SCHEDULE, THEY DON'T HAVE PRICES IF YOU ARE.

>> 'S INTEREST RATE IS THE PRIC OF BOTH SIDES STREETS.

>> WHEN THE FEE SCHEDULE COMES AROUND, WHATEVER COMES AROUND

AGAIN IT'S ALMOST EAGER AWAY. >> WE WOULD BE DOING IT VERY

SOON. >> IF I CLOSURE IS CLOSING CROSSING TWO FRONTS, WE ALL KNO WHAT THIS MAJOR DISRUPTION, THA WE NEED OF THIS WORK HERE ON. BOTH OF THESE CLOSURES WILL CERTAINLY MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CROSS CHECK FRONT ENDS, IT IS A BIG GROUP DISRUPTION I THINK THAN A REGULAR ROAD CLOSURE.

IS DIFFERENT THAN ANOTHER BLACKBIRD IT'S A HUGE JUST RUBBISH AND WHEN YOU CLOSE FROM CENTER ONTO YOUR FRONT AS OPPOSED TOO IF IT WAS ONE BLOCK FURTHER UP OR TWO UP.

JUST SOMETHING TO CONSIDER, TO WE WANT TO CHARGE AN ADDITIONAL FEE IF YOU ARE CLOSING THE RAILROAD CROSSING? BUT FOR THIS PURPOSE AT LEAST, THINK WE WILL MOVE FORWARD.

>> IS NOT ON THE PAGE. >> YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.

>> I DON'T IF I WOULD BE IN FOR AN ADDITIONAL FEE, I WOULD JUST SAY, STEVE GOT UP YOU'RE FROM P AND TALKED ABOUT THE FIREWORKS AND THE CITY HAS HELD AN EVENT ALREADY, THE FIREWORKS LINE OF FAMILIAR, F YOU, GREAT EVENTS. THEY HELD BACK UP THAT

[01:15:01]

WATERFRONT. COUPLE OF EVENTS HELD AT THE WATERFRONT PARK. I WOULD ENCOURAGE EVERYONE BUT IS COMING IN FRONT OF THIS COMMISSION AND ASKING TO CLOSE THESE ROADS TO START TO CONSIDE THAT AS AN OPTION.

YOU ARE GOING TO GET THE BLOOD BETTER RETURN.

I KNOW SOME PEOPLE LOOK AT IT AND SAY IT WILL BE BETTER IN FRONT OF MY BUSINESS OR IN FRON OF CENTER STREET OR WHATEVER TH CASE MAY BE, BUT THAT IS A FANTASTIC VENUE DOWN THERE IT WAS BUILT IN VOTIVE BOMB FOR REASON FOR IT IT IS A FANTASTIC PLACE TO HOST EVENTS LIKE THIS. OF NOT TO TRY TO SAY NO TO ANY OF THOSE, BUT I WOULD JUST ENCOURAGE THAT PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING IN FRONT OF THIS COMMISSION TO CONSIDER BAP AS A

OPTION. >> THANK YOU.

>> YOU KNOW, I THINK WE CAN ACCEPT THAT BY THE SPECIAL FEES WE CHARGE. THE ROAD CLOSURE FEES THAT WE

CHARGE. >> IT'S A LOT MORE NOW THAN IT WAS. IT COULD BE A LOT MORE IF YOU USE THAT WATERFRONT PARK RATE I IS SIGNIFICANT.

THINK WE COULD HELP ENCOURAGE THAT MOVE AS WELL WHICH I ALWAY SUPPORT. DO TO I HAVE A MOTION?

WE FOLLOWED THAT UP WITH A DETAILED RATE STUDY. WEB IT WILL TAKE TO REFUND THOS RATES. WE WILL BE BROUGHT BACK BEFORE YOU TODAY WHICH WILL BEAT THAT LEGAL ORDINANCE VERSION OF ALL THAT INFORMATION, IT JUST WANTE TO GIVE YOU A BRIEF RECAP OF WHAT THESE CHANGES ARE FROM OUR EXISTING ORDINANCE AND SOME OF THE APPLICATION TO MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND THE APPLICATION OF THESE NEW FEE STRUCTURES. WE HAVE GOT THE RATE STRUCTURES BASED ON THE CAMBRIDGE COVERAGE RATHER THAN A FLAT RATE THAT TREATS EVERYBODY THE SAME. I DON'T KNOW WHY IT'S BOUNCING AROUND FOR IT THE BASE IS GOING FROM 1436 TO RECOMMENDED 1630, 1635 WHICH SHOULD IS ACTUALLY SEPARATE OR MASTER FEE SCHEDULE WHICH WILL BE BEFORE YOU LINGER ON THIS FISCAL YEAR.

ALSO, IT CLARIFIES AN APPEAL PROCESS.

AND WHICH THE RESIDENCE OR BUSINESS OWNER CAN APPEAL THEIR ASSESSED FEES TO THE CITY MANAGER AND THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE AND ESTABLISHES THAT PROCESS.

IT IMPLEMENTS THE RESIDENTIAL RATE STRUCTURE THAT WE DISCUSSE AT OUR LAST MEETING THAT IDENTIFIES RATHER BEEN JUST ONE SET RESIDENTIAL RATE. THAT IS KINDA BROKEN DOWN HERE AS FOLLOWS, UNDER 1500 SQUARE FEET BETWEEN 1500 DISTRICT 6,00 AND ABOUT 6,000 IN THE CATEGORIES.

ALSO WANTED TO CLARIFY THE ORDINANCE AND THE EXEMPTIONS.

THIS IS UNCHANGED FROM OUR CURRENT ORDINANCE.

THE LANGUAGE THAT IS IN THERE, UNDEVELOPED LAND IS EXEMPTED PUBLICLY OWNED PROPERTIES INCLUDING ROADWAYS, RUNWAYS AND TAXI RATES, INCLUDES ALL CITY STATE AND COUNTY FACILITIES.

POST PROPERTIES THAT ARE USED FOR OFFICES.

WATER AND WASTEWATER FACILITIES. PARKS AND RECREATION FACILITIES SCHOOLS, LIBRARIES, THE OTHER WOMEN I KIND OF WANTED TO TOUCH ON IS PUBLIC HOSPITALS INCOME T LISTEN CENTERS.

THIS IS THE WORDING AND THE EXISTING ORDINANCE WE HAVE MAINTAINED THAT IN THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE.

WHAT WE HAD TO LOOK AT THROUGH THE PROCESSES IMPLEMENTATION OF THE FEE STRUCTURES. FREIGHT RIGHT NOW, THE HOSPITAL AND CONVALESCENT CENTERS ARE NO CHARGED UNDER THIS DEFINITION PAY SHOULD BE. A PUBLIC HOSPITAL IS SOMETHING THAT IS OWNED AND FUNDED BY TAXPAYERS.

ALL OF THE FACILITIES WE HAVE I TOWN ARE PRIVATELY OWNED.

SO AND MY UNDERSTANDING, THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE VOTE FEES UNDER THE CURRENT ORDINANCE AND ALSO UNDER THE PROPOSED LANGUAGE. I JUST WANT TO BRIEFLY SHOW YOU WHAT THIS MEANS, THIS IS DOLLAR AND CENTS WHEN IT COMES TO THE SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL IS GOING TO GO FROM 1436 TO 1735.

ONE OF THE ELEMENTS WE ARE GOIN TO ELIMINATE WITH THIS IS THE PRIVATE RETENTION DISCOUNT THAT WE DISCUSSED.

RESIDENTS WOULD RECEIVE THAT DISCOUNT AND MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL, THAT IS THE RECEIVER 50 PERCENT DISCOUNT THAT WERE REDUCED TO A 50 PERCENT DISCOUNT SO THEY WILL GO FROM THEY HAVE BOTH THE RESIDENTIAL MULTI AND THE PRIVATE THEY ARE GOING TO GO TO 1173.

AND THE LARGE AND SMALL POTENTIAL PHASE.

YOU CAN SEE WHAT THEY'RE WHAT THEY WILL BE FOR RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMERS FOR ITS COMMERCIAL THEORY IS QUITE A.

[01:25:04]

OBVIOUSLY, THE COMMERCIAL COMES IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES.

WHAT I TRIED TO DO IS GOING TO PULL OUT A LOT OF SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS FROM OUR SPREADSHEETS SO YOU CAN SEE HOW THE RATE STRUCTURE IS GOING TO BE IMPLEMENTED.

WE UNDERSTOOD THAT THE COMMERCIAL HAS BEEN UNDER CHARGED SINCE THE IMPLEMENTATIO OF THESE FEES, SO PROPORTIONATELY CHARGING IS GOING TO HAVE THE LARGEST IMPAC ON COMMERCIAL CUSTOMERS. THE TYPICAL GROCERY STORE COME OUT RIGHT NOW THEY ARE PAYING 1336 WHEN WE ARE LOOKING AT OVE 300,000 SQUARE FEET OF AREA. EQUIVALENT UNIT WILL GO TO $1,800 UNDER THIS FEE STRUCTURE. THIS WOULD GO TO $1,300, YOU CA START TO SEE THE IMPACT OF THIS. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS ONE A SIMPLE IMPLEMENTATION LOOKS LIKE . THAT IS REALLY ALL I HAVE FOR YOU. I JUST WANTED TO THANK THE UTILITY ADMIN STAFF AND LEGAL STAFF, IT IS REALLY A HEAVY LIF TO TRANSLATE THIS RESTUDY INTO IN ORDINANCE AND CAPTURE ALL TH DEFINITIONS AND ALTHOUGH SUBTLETIES THAT WE REALLY FIGURED OUT ONCE WE STARTED DIGGING INTO IT AND REALLY SEE WHAT SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS ARE .

THANK YOU OFFER YOUR ASSISTANCE IN GETTING THIS YEAR.

>> ANY QUESTIONS? >> I UNDERSTAND THERE IS MAYBE LESS THAN THEN DOZEN EXCEPTIONALLY LARGE BUSINESSES,

PERHAPS INDUSTRIAL THAT. >> WE HAVE GOT ESSENTIALLY I THINK 25 PROPERTIES THAT ARE ABOVE TEN ERA IS, THAT WAS OUR WEIGHT THRESHOLD TO CONSIDER THEM SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTED.

WE ARE PREPARING A DOCUMENT THA WILL IDENTIFY EXACTLY HOW WE CAME UP WITH THAT NUMBER. I AM GOING TO GOING TO THE TOP OF THE LIST PERSONALLY REACHING OUT AND MAKING CONTACT WITH THOSE COMMERCIAL ENTITIES. SO THEY CAN BE PART OF THIS DISCUSSION IN WILL BE BACK HERE FOR A SECOND READING.

SO THEY CAN PLAN FOR THESE. >> SO, TO YOU THINK YOU'LL BE

ABLE TO WITH THOSE COMPANIES. >> OKAY, THANK YOU.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> CAN WE BRING UP THE RATES AGAIN? PICKIER TALKING ABOUT THE

COMMERCIAL? >> YES.

>> AND THE GROCERY STORE RATE? REAL QUICKLY, IS THIS MONTHLY?

>> YES. >> OKAY.

OKAY. AND WE HAVEN'T REACHED OUT TO ANY OF THESE PEOPLE, GIVEN THEM ANY OF THESE INFORMATION? KICK IT NOT. THAT IS FIRST ON MY LIST AFTER WE GOT THIS HERE TODAY. REGION WE JINPING CONTACT THEM BEFORE HAND? I HAD HOPED TO PUT IT SIMPLY DIDN'T HAVE THE TIME TO GET TO EVERYBODY.

>> IT SEEMS LIKE I UNDERSTAND W HAD A WORKSHOP ON IT, SO WE UNDERSTOOD THAT. I THOUGHT THAT WE WOULD AT LEAS BRING IN THE STAKEHOLDERS BEFOR WE START VOTING ON THINGS, ESPECIALLY SIGNIFICANT STAKEHOLDERS SUCH AS A LARGE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY. WITHOUT THEM HAVING ANY KIND OF KNOWLEDGE WHATSOEVER, I CAN'T B A YES VOTE ON THIS AT ALL.

WE NEED FEEDBACK FROM THESE LARGE STAKEHOLDERS.

THESE BIG COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES THAT THEY DO FUND ABOUT OUR PROPERTY TAXES. THEY ALSO DO CREATE BUT OF JOBS.

I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. >> I UNDERSTAND.

TO GIVE HER 20 YEARS, THEY PAID $14 A MONTH IN GENERATED HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF GALLONS OF STORM WATER.

SO YOU KNOW, THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF TRYING TO LEVEL THE FIEL AND BE ABLE TO GIVE US THE FUND WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO MANAGE OU STORMWATER APPROPRIATELY FOR OU COMMUNITY BECAUSE WE HAVE LOTS

[01:30:02]

OF FAILED STORMWATER INFRASTRUCTURE THAT NEEDS TO BE

REPAIRED. >> AGREED.

I WILL SAY THIS RATE STRUCTURE IS VERY CONSISTENT WITH WHAT MOST COMMUNITIES IN FLORIDA ARE UTILIZING.

MAJORITY OF THESE LARGER, MORE HEAVILY IMPACTED CUSTOMERS ARE CORPORATE ENTITIES. BUT OBVIOUSLY HAVE OTHER FLORIDA LOCATIONS THAT INCUR THESE FEES IN OTHER LOCATIONS.

ABSOLUTELY WE NEED TO BRING THEM TO THE TABLE.

I WISH THERE WAS MORE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT BEFORE THIS MEETING WENT ABSOLUTELY BEFORE SECOND READING WE'LL HAVE THOSE MEETINGS AND CONVER CONVERSATIONS.

>> ANDRE, FOR THE BUSINESSES THAT KEEP THEIR OWN WATER AND THE PROPERTY YOU'RE NOT GIVING ANY DISCOUNT ANYMORE.

>> CORRECT. IF YOU RECALL FROM THE DISCUSSION WITH THE RATE, WHAT WE LOOKED AT MORE SO THAN THE ACTUAL SITE AND ITS RUNOFF IS THE LARGER INFRASTRUCTURE.

THE ROADWAY NETWORK, THE TRAFFIC GENERATED BY THESE BUSINESSES ON THAT ROADWAY NETWORK. WHAT WAS LESS ABOUT EVERY DROP OF WATER AND MORE ABOUT THE IMPACT TO THE LARGER STORMWATER

SYSTEM. >> MOVING FORWARD YOU'RE NOT GOING TO REQUIRE PEOPLE TO PUT UP THEIR OWN STORMWATER AND CATCH ALL THE WATER ON THEIR PROPERTY WHEN YOU'RE IMPOSING ON

THEM -- GO. >> WE CAN'T WAIVE THAT REQUIREMENT THAT'S A STATE OR MANAGEMENT DISTRICT REQUIREMENT.

HOUR NOTICE IS CONSISTENT WITH THAT.

>> THE CHAIR: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

>> I AM IN FAVOR OF THIS STUDY AND I APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING IT TO US. IF YOU READ IT, IT'S EXTREMELY LONG AND IT IDENTIFIES THAT STORMWATER WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PAY FOR ITSELF WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR OR SO ABOUT 2027, IT NO LONGER WILL BRING IN ENOUGH F FEES --

>> WE WILL SHIFT TO A MAINTENANCE ONLY POSITION WE WON'T HAVE ANY FUNDS FOR THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS.

>> BUT YOU'LL STILL HAVE FLOODING.

SPEAK OF THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS, WE HAVE THE TOP 1% OF STORMS IN THIS COUNTRY ARE SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER THAN THEY USED TO BE. AND WE NEED SOME PLANNING FOR THEM. ECONOMICS 101 IS PRODUCED EXTERNALITIES AS MUCH AS YOU CAN.

IF PEOPLE ARE NOT -- IF IT'S NOT PAY-AS-YOU-GO, IF YOU ARE NOT PAYING FOR THE PROBLEM THAT YOU CAUSED, THEN YOU ARE A FREE RIDER. SOMEBODY IS PAYING THAT COST, THOUGH. WITH THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES ARE NOT GOING TO PAY FOR THEIR ENORMOUS AMOUNTS OF IMPERVIOUS SURFACE AND THE RUNOFF THEY CAUSE TO OUR ROADS AND OUR STREETS, THEN HOMEOWNERS WILL PAY AND WILL PAY WITH FLOODING IN OUR BACKYARD AND PAY WITH SYSTEMS THAT FAIL AND THE SYSTEMS THAT WON'T WORK IN TEN YEARS.

I THINK TO SET UP A TIERED SYSTEM THAT LOOKS AT ALL ASPECTS OF WHERE THE WATER IS GOING AND WHO'S CREATING THE STORMWATER END WHO HAS TO PAY IS ABSOLUTELY APPROPRIATE.

IF YOU DON'T SET THE ECONOMICS RIGHTS, THEN YOUR MARKET FAILS AND YOU HAVE MIXED INCENTIVES AND FUNDAMENTAL TO OUR STORMWATER SYSTEM IS IT NEEDS TO STILL BE HERE TEN YEARS FROM NOW IT NEEDS TO BE HERE 50 YEARS FROM NOW IT NEEDS TO CONTINUE TO IMPROVE. I AGREE WITH VICE-MAYOR AYSCUE, THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES SHOULD BEEN NOTIFIED A WHILE AGO BECAUSE THAT'S A HUGE INCREASE THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO ABSORB. BUT THE WAY MARKETS WORK AS THEY WILL PUSH IT OFF ON THEIR CUSTOMERS -- THAT INCREASE COST, RIGHT? THAT IS AN APPROPRIATE WAY FOR A MARKET TO WORK, IF YOU WANT TO GO TO THOSE BUSINESSES AND THOSE BUSINESSES ARE CAUSING THE STORMWATER RUNOFF, THEN YOU NEED TO HELP PAY YOU PURCHASE ITEMS, YOUR ITEMS WILL GO UP AND YOUR COSTS AND YOU ARE NOW HELPING TO PAY FOR THAT INFRASTRUCTURE IMPACT. I'M ALL FOR IT AND I REALLY

[01:35:01]

APPRECIATE THE COST TO THE RESIDENTIAL BECAUSE THE SMALLEST HOME, THEIR BILLS ARE GOING TO BE VERY SMALL BECAUSE THE SMALLEST HOMES, OUR OLDEST HOMES IN GENERAL ARE VERY SMALL AND THAT SIT ON A REASONABLY LARGE SIZED LOTS, THEY ARE NOT GENERATING THE STORMWATER IN THIS CITY.

SO THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PROBLEM.

IF IT MEANS DELAYING THE SECOND READING SO MORE PEOPLE CAN BE NOTIFIED, GREAT. I'M ALL FOR IT, I THINK IT'S

APPROPRIATE. >> THE

CHAIR: COMMISSIONER POYNTER. >> ONCE AGAIN, THIS HAS BEEN PUSHED OFF FOR SO LONG. THERE HAVE BEEN GREAT STUDIES, THAT PREVIOUS COMMISSIONS HAVE LISTENED TO AND EVEN REDUCED WHAT WAS RECOMMENDED. LIKE A LOT OF THESE THINGS HAPPENING IN THIS CITY -- WHAT IS THAT, THE ROOSTER'S COMING HOME TO ROOST? THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW.

THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN PUSHED OFF FOR SO LONG, THAT'S THE REALITY THERE. I GOT A LOT OF BUSINESSES DOWNTOWN, THIS IS A BIG NUMBER. BUT IT'S THE WAY IT HAS TO BE IN ORDER TO GET THESE THINGS WORKING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

IT'S THE COST OF LIVING HERE. AND WE PUSHED THINGS OFF FOR SO LONG, THAT IT'S ALL HERE NOW AND WE'VE GOT TO DO THINGS LIKE $2 MILLION ON ASH STREET JUST TO GET SOME WATER DOWN THE STREET INTO THE RIVER. THERE'S THINGS LIKE THIS ALL OVER THE CITY THAT HAVE BEEN NEGLECTED.

I UNDERSTAND ABOUT REACHING OUT TO PEOPLE AND LETTING THEM KNOW, BUT THEY CAN NO, THEY'RE STILL GOING TO PAY IT.

UNLESS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT WRAPPING IT UP -- I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF RAMPING IT UP, LET'S JUST RIP OFF THE BAND-AID.

>> THE CHAIR: THANK YOU COMMISSIONER.

VICE MAYOR? >> I DON'T DISAGREE THE RATE STRUCTURE NEEDED TO CHANGE. IT WAS OUTDATED.

BUT WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT GOING TO A LARGE CHURCH AND TELLING THEM THAT THEY'RE GOING FROM $100 A YEAR TO 16, $17,000 A YEAR? YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SOME OF THE LARGER COMMERCIALS THERE'S NO TELLING WHAT THAT NUMBER LOOKS LIKE AND WE DIDN'T GET A SINGLE BIT OF FEEDBACK FROM THOSE PEOPLE IN BOTH THE COMMERCIAL AND THE CHURCHES? I WOULD RATHER HAVE DEALT WITH THAT FIRESTORM UPFRONT -- THAT'S WHY, I DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE, I JUST CAN'T IMAGINE IN A MONTH WHEN WE COME BACK FOR SECOND READING THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONTACT ALL OF THESE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO BE AFFECTED TO.

I DON'T BELIEVE THAT'S GOING TO BE THE CASE.

I JUST DON'T THINK SO. I THINK THAT LEGWORK SHOULD'VE BEEN DONE ON THE FRONT END BEFORE THE BILL SHOWS UP ON THE BACK END. THAT'S JUST WHERE I AM WITH IT.

>> WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO CALL A PUBLIC HEARING FOR HEARING A

MOTION? >> WHAT WE DID DO, IT WAS ON THE UTILITY BILLS WE WOULD BE HAVING THESE HEARINGS.

THIS ACTUAL MEETING TONIGHT IN THE MEETING WHERE WE ARE GOING TO ADOPT -- IF YOU CHOOSE TO ADOPT -- BOTH OF THOSE HAVE BEEN ON THE UTILITY BILL. I KNOW THAT'S NOT THE LEVEL YOU WERE DISCUSSING SO IF SOMEBODY LOOKED AT THEIR BILL THEY WOULD KNOW THAT AND TONIGHT YOU CAN ALWAYS BEFORE YOU HAVE A VOTE TO TAKE COMMENT FROM THE PUBLIC IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE A PUBLIC HEARING. UNDER THE LAW YOU SHOULD BE FILLING OUT A REQUEST TO SPEAK AND IF YOU WANT TO TAKE PUBLIC,

THE NET CAN. >> I HAVE NO REQUEST TO SPEAK BUT IF ANYONE WISHES TO SPEAK YOU CAN APPROACH THE PODIUM NOW AND FILL OUT A FORM AFTER, OTHERWISE THANK YOU VERY MUCH

FOR YOUR TIME. >> MR. MAYOR IF I MAY I WANTED TO STATE THAT I'VE HEARD IT SAID A COUPLE OF TIMES -- THIS IS SET BASED ON A RATE STUDY AND BASED ON LOOKING AT FISCAL YEAR 2026 TO 2031. WHAT WASN'T THE RIGHT STUDY, NOT JUST A DESIRE TO SHED COST BUT TO COME UP WITH A RATE STUDY THAT WOULD ALLOW US AS HAS ALREADY BEEN SET TO DO CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AND MOVE FORWARD AND HAVE ADEQUATE RESERVES AND

[01:40:02]

EXPAND. >> THE CHAIR: DO I HAVE A

MOTION? >> I MOVED TO APPROVE.

>> SECOND. >> THE CHAIR: ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE, MISS BEST, PLEASE START THE VOTE. THAT MOTION PASSES 4-1 WHICH

[8.2 (Legislative) CODE AMENDMENT — CHAPTER 82 - FATS, OILS, AND GREASE PROGRAM - ORDINANCE 2026-11 AMENDING CODE OF ORDINANCES CHAPTER 82, UTILITIES, ARTICLE II, WASTEWATER SYSTEM, DIVISION 6, BY REPEALING AND REPLACING IT IN ITS ENTIRETY, CREATING A NEW CHAPTER 82, UTILITIES, ARTICLE II, WASTEWATER SYSTEM TO CREATE A REVISED DIVISION 6 ENTITLED FATS, OILS, AND GREASE PROGRAM; AUTHORIZING ADMINISTRATIVE CORRECTION OF SCRIVENER'S ERRORS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Synopsis: Repeals the FOG Ordinance and replacing to broaden the scope to include all non-residential waste contributing facilities, provide new definitions, and create an appeal process.]

BRINGS US TO ITEM 8.2, A CODE AMENDMENT FOR FATS, OILS, INCREASE PROGRAM ANOTHER LEGISLATE OF ITEM.

>> THIS IS FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE 2026-11, OUR FATS, OILS, INCREASE PROGRAM. WE DO HAVE A PROGRAM CURRENTLY BUT IT NEEDED A LOT OF ADJUSTMENTS, SO MANY THAT WE RECOMMENDED A COMPLETE REWRITE OF THE PROGRAM.

WE WILL HAVE ANOTHER NOT LENGTHY PRESENTATION AND MISPRINTS WILL

DO THE FIRST READING. >> ORDINANCE 2026-11, ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION, AMENDING CODE OF ORDINANCES CHAPTER 82, UTILITIES, WASTEWATER TO SYSTEM DIVISION 6 BY REPEALING AND REPLACING IN ITS ENTIRETY CREATING A NEW CHAPTER 82 UTILITIES, WASTEWATER SYSTEM TO CREATE A REVISED DIVISION 6 ENTITLED FATS, OILS, AND GREECE PROGRAM AUTHORIZING ADMINISTRATIVE CORRECTION FOR SCRIVENER'S ERRORS AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT, WE DO ESTABLISH THE LEGAL AUTHORTY UNDER FEDERAL LAW AND STATE LAW FOR IMPLEMENTING THIS PROGRAM AND AS MISS CAMPBELL HAS CLEARLY SAID WE ARE REVISING IT TO BRING IT CURRENT TO CURRENT STATE LAW, CURRENT FEDERAL LAW CHANGES AND THE REWRITE WAS NECESSITATED BY

THAT. >> THE CHAIR: YOU HAVE THE

FLOOR. >> AS MISPRINTS INDICATED, THIS DOESN'T AT THE END OF THE DAY CHANGE THE REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE REQUIREMENTS. AT TO MAKE IT SIMPLY GIVES US MORE CLARITY WITH REGARD TO ENFORCEABILITY, AND IT WAS JUST CLEANER TO REWRITE. I UNDERSTAND IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN THE TYPICAL STRIKETHROUGH AND UNDERLINE THAT WE DO, BUT IT WAS SO MUCH SO THAT WE JUST STARTED FROM SCRATCH. IT PUTS IN PLACE VARIANCE PROCESS, CAPACITY AND MAINTENANCE INTERVALS, WHEN A GREASE TRAP IS OF A CERTAIN SIZE IT HAS A CERTAIN MAINTENANCE INTERVAL THAT IS MANAGED PER STANDARD BUT BUT IF A FACILITY DOESN'T GENERATE THAT MUCH GREASE, THEY CAN LOOK AT IF THE REPORTS ARE GOOD WE CAN EXTEND THAT MAINTENANCE INTERVAL.

IT FORMALIZE THE PROCESS FOR THAT.

IT FORMALIZES THE VARIANCE PROCESS, THOSE APPLICATIONS WILL GO TO OUR OFFICE FOR DECISION AND APPEAL TO THE CITY MANAGER FOR A NEXT STEP. IT CLARIFIES RECORD-KEEPING REQUIREMENTS, DOCUMENTATION OF LOGS AND PUMPING REPORTS FOR THREE YEARS IN ADDITION TO SUBMITTING REPORTS ONLINE THROUGH OUR ONLINE DATABASE. CLARIFIES THE APPEAL PROCESS AS INDICATED SO THAT'S APPEAL OF THE VARIANCE PROCESS FOR DECISION. IT ALSO CLARIFIES ENFORCEMENT.

IN THIS CASE WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO DIRECTLY ENFORCE THESE REQUIREMENTS AND INSTITUTE FEES IN THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE FOR NONCOMPLIANCE. WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT BETTER ABILITY TO ENFORCE IT. WE CAN ADD FEES TO THE UTILITY BILL DIRECTLY. CODE ENFORCEMENT IS ON THIS ORDINANCE, THEY ARE GOING TO WORK CLOSELY WITH US AS NECESSARY BUT OUR STAFF WILL BE THE PRIMARY VEHICLE FOR ENFORCEMENT. THEN FINDS CAN BE ISSUED THROUGH THAT SYSTEM. WE'VE ALREADY STARTED -- WE DID COMMUNITY OUTREACH TWO WEEKS AGO HERE AT CITY HALL TRYING TO GET RESTAURANT MEMBERS TO THE TABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT REQUIREMENTS ARE, WHAT THEY SHOULD BE DOING AND HELP THEM NAVIGATE THE ONLINE SYSTEM AND WE ARE GOING TO TRY ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE COMING UP HERE SHORTLY AND THEN WE ARE GOING TO START GOING

[01:45:02]

DOOR-TO-DOOR TO SOME TO SOME OF THE RESTAURANT FACILITIES THAT WE HAVEN'T BEEN GETTING DATA FROM, MAKE SURE THEY KNOW WHO TO TALK WITH AND KEEP NUDGING THEM IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

AGAIN, THANK LEGAL AND UTILITY ADMIN STAFF FOR HELPING PUT THIS ORDINANCE LANGUAGE TOGETHER. I'M HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY

QUESTIONS. >> THE CHAIR: THANK YOU MR. DESILET. SEEING NONE WE APPRECIATE YOUR

TIME. >> I WOULD APPROVE THE ORDINANCE 2026-11 FOR FATS, OIL, AND GREASE PROGRAM.

>> ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION -- SEEING NONE, MISS BEST PLEASE START THE BOAT. THAT MOTION PASSES 5-0 WHICH

Synopsis: Amends Chapter 82, Article III, Water System, Section 82- 414 to add subsections (d), (e) and (f) to curtailment water usage during periods of water shortage.]

BRINGS US TO 8.3 ANOTHER LEGISLATIVE CODE AMENDMENT FOR CHAPTER 82 FOR ARTICLE THREE OUR WATER SYSTEM.

>> THIS IS THE FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE ORDINANCE 2026-12 WHICH CODIFIES HER ABILITY TO ENFORCE ST. JOHNS RIVER WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM REGULATIONS AS WE ALL KNOW WE HAVE HAD A DRY SPRING AND SUMMER AND WE ARE REALLY UNDER AN UNPRECEDENTED LEVEL THREE WATER RESTRICTIONS RIGHT NOW.

DISKS, THE CITY HAS VERY LITTLE ABILITY TO ENFORCE ORDINANCES PASSED BY THE ST. JOHNS RIVER WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.

THIS WOULD GIVE US THAT ABILITY, AND WE WILL HAVE MISPRINTS TO

THE FIRST READING. >> ORDINANCE 2026-12, ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF FERNANDINA BEACH FLORIDA, CHAPTER 82, ARTICLE III. WATER SYSTEM, SECTION 82 -- 414 TO ADOPT AND INCORPORATE BY REFERENCE ALL RULES, MANDATES, AND EMERGENCY AND/OR TEMPORARY ORDERS ISSUED BY THE ST. JOHNS RIVER WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT AS MAY BE ISSUED FROM TIME TO TIME: PROVIDING FOR ENFORCEMENT, PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS, AUTHORIZING ADMINISTRATIVE CORRECTION OF SCRIVENER'S ERRORS, PROVIDING FOR SEPARABILITY, AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. AS MS. CAMPBELL STATED, WE ARE POINTING OUT THE RULES THAT ALLOW ST. JOHNS TO ISSUE ITS ORDERS AND THEN IT WOULD PROVIDE THAT WE WOULD ENFORCE THE ORDERS AND THE FINES THEY IMPOSE WITHIN THE STATE ORDER THAT IS ISSUED.

IT DOESN'T CREATE ANY -- IF THEY ARE IMPOSING ONCE A WEEK ORDERING THAT'S WHAT WE WOULD ENFORCE.

IT DOESN'T CREATE ANY ADDITIONAL ENFORCEMENT FROM THE CITY'S

PERSPECTIVE. >> THE CHAIR: DO I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THIS ITEM FOR STAFF? I HAVE NO REQUEST TO SPEAK FROM THE AUDIENCE, DO I HAVE A

MOTION? >> I WOULD MOVE TO APPROVE

ORDINANCE 2026-12. >> SECOND.
