THAT THE FLAG OF HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAMES. A LOT OF US DO NOT LIKE IT BUT IF THERE IS A MALFUNCTION. FURTIVELY SALUTING THEN.

NOT YOU GUYS, I DON'T THINK, PROBABLY NASSAU COUNTY SCHOOLS.

I JUST WANTED TO BRING IT UP. THE THIRD AGENDA ITEM, SOMETHIN THAT I HAVE DISCUSSED REPEATEDLY .

I DIDN'T FEEL THEY SHOULD BE GRANTED A FRANCHISE AGREEMENT AND THEY WERE VIOLATING CITY ORDINANCES.

I THINK WE NEED THE CITY'S HELP. I THINK I'VE CITY EMPLOYEES THA ACTING OUTSIDE THEIR JOB DESCRIPTIONS. I'M WORRIED ABOU FREEDOM OF SPEECH WITHOUT RETRIBUTION.

TWO WEEKS AGO I SPOKE ABOUT BLU SKY TRANSPORTATION AND I JUST MENTIONED MY OPINION, I DON'T WISH TO GRANT AN AMENDMENT.

NO TOURS, THERE WILL BE NO TOURS .

AND IT WAS VIOLATED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY.

THAN IMMEDIATELY. THAN I HAVE A MY OPINION.

ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, TRANSPORTATION PILED ON 19 PAGE COMPLAINT AGAINST ME AND PUT UP BY SMALL BUSINESSES TO CODE ENFORCEMENT PERIODS OF CORD ENFORCEMENT LOOKED INTO IT ALL AND THERE IS NOTHING VALID BUT DO APPRECIATE THE CIVIL INVOLVEMENT. I WISH WE COULD GET THE POINT WHERE YOU COULD JUST TOURNAMENT UP THE PHONE AND ASKING THE QUESTION. NO PROBLEM PARALLEL SO THINK IT IS A COINCIDENCE THAT IT IS AS ACTING OPERATION FOR HISTORIC TORS, THAT ON FRIDAY AT 4:15:00 P.M., OCTOBER 9, HE WAS GIVEN A CALL BY A CITY EMPLOYEE SAYING THE CITY DOES RANDOM INSPECTIONS. NEXT IS MR. ROGER MARTIN.

>> 151,711TH AVENUE. I DON'T KNOW MADE A BIG DEAL BU KUDOS TO OUR RESOURCE OFTEN ARE THOSE OFFICER AND POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY REACTED AND APPREHENDED THE MAN THAT WAS SUSPICIOUS WITH WEAPONS IN HIS CAR APPEARS SO KUDOS TO THEM.

PROBABLY SAVE SOME KIDS LIVES. OF COURSE I'M UP HERE AND YOU

[00:35:02]

IT BROUGHT IN JUST $30,000. YOU AT THAT TO THE PREVIOUS SIX MONTHS AND NOW YOU'RE NIGER ANNUALIZED RATE IS APPROXIMATEL $806,000 A YEAR AND WE ARE GETTING FURTHER AND FURTHER AWA FROM 1.2 YOU, WHICH WAS THE FISCAL REPORTED IN THE REPORT LAST MONTH OR THE 1.5 THAT IS ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT.

THE REASON WHY I CONTINUE TO BRING THIS UP IS THEY WANT TO T STRESS THAT THIS IS NOT BEING FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE PRETTY FOR NOT GOING TO REPORT THE NUMBERS ACCURATELY AND WE'RE GOING TO G AND SPEND MONEY THAT WE REALLY DON'T HAVE, THAT IS HOW GOVERNMENT, THAT IS HOW WE GOT INTO A LOT OF ISSUES AS THE GOVERNMENT OF OVERPROMISE ITS FORMS IN MANY CAPACITIES.

SO I'M PROCESSING FOR MORE FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY THROUGH THIS YEAR. WE NEED TO BE -- THROUGH AUGUST 12 THEY HAD 390 CELL TO A.

BRING THE TOTAL TO 1,070 CITATIONS AND $60,000 AND CITATION REVENUE. THAT INCLUDED THE FIGURE AS INCOME. ITS ROUGHLY $60,000 OF CITATION INCLUDED IN THIS PROGRAM, LIKE SAID, $106,000 PARAMETER IS ONL PART OF THE STORY. WE ALSO NEED TO CONSIDER HOW WE ARE GOING TO FIX THE EXPERIENCE THAT WE HAVE CREATED FOR OUR VISITORS AND CONSEQUENCES FOR THE BUSINESSES.

THAT IS A LOT OF CITATIONS. IS TIME TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT PAY PARKING HAS FALLEN SHORT WE NEE TO CELEBRATE THAT WE ARE --

>> NEXT IS MR. JACK TIMBER. >> JACK AMBER, 1003, CMAC STREET . THANK YOU, MR. ANTON PITT I WAS EXPECTING IT A WHILE AGO BUT I JUST SAW IT AND IT HAS PROBABLY BEEN THERE LITTLE BIT THEY ARE JUST GETTING UP AND DOWN THERE AND SEEING ONE THING IS EGO IS IT REALLY AS LOUD AS A BRASS PLAQUE. SO THE ONE DOWN AT CITY FUNDED AND IT WAS VERY INTERESTING TO ME AND VERY TELLING.

BRINGS TO MIND WHO IS REALLY IN CHARGE OF RENTING A BEACH.

THE NAME IS ON THE PLAQUE. THE DAVID STURGIS WAS ON THE PLAQUE. AND LOOKING AT AND THEY WANTED HIS NAME ON A PLAQUE ON THEIR REALLY BAD.

JUST PUT ON A PLAQUE TO MAKE YO HAPPY.

BUT I REALLY BELIEVE THAT THE CITY OF FERNANDINA BEACH WE PAI FOR THE THING, DIDN'T WE? WE WILL CONTINUE PAYING WITH TH THING. IT HAS REALLY GONE WAY OVER AND WITH -- SO THEY GO ON THAT SCORE.

AT NUNNALLY ONLY PAPACY BUT THI TIME THING THINGS IS LAUGH WHIL VERY I THINK IT IS ATROCIOUS. THE BOY GOT A LOCAL BUSINESSES HAS BEEN GOING ON THROUGH BIG PARKING.

PLEASE POSTPONE THE VOTE ON THE PROPOSED SPORTS AGREEMENTS UNTI A DECISION HAS BEEN MADE OF THE FUTURE OF ALVAREZ FIELDS BEAUTY ARE NOT HERE TO OPPOSE ANY OTHE PROGRAM. WE SUPPORT EVERY ORGANIZATION THAT GETS KIDS OUTSIDE AND ACTIVE.

OUR CONCERNS ABOUT SEQUENCE AND TIMING.

ALVAREZ IS THE HOME OF OUR PROGRAM AND THERE'S NO ALTERNATIVE LOCATION IN THE CIT OR COUNTY FOR 800 PLAYERS CAN PRACTICE AND PLAY. IF THESE AGREEMENTS ARE PREFERS AND ALVAREZ'S LOW GLOSS TO REPURPOSE, A VALUABLE FUEL SPAC WILL ALREADY BE COMMITTED TO OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AND OUR PLAYERS WILL HAVE NOWHERE TO GO UNTIL THOSE AGREEMENTS EXPIRE.

IT WOULD MEAN SEASONS CHILDREN TURNED AWAY.

PROTECTING THAT COMMITMENT REQUIRES A CLEAR PICTURE OF FIELD ABILITY THOSE AVAILABILITY .

SO WE RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT THE COMMISSION TO MAKE ALVAREZ THE BASIC DECISION FIRST AND THEN APPROVE THESE AGREEMENTS.

A SHORT POSTPONEMENT COST VERY LITTLE.

MOVING ALONG COULD CAUSE HUNDREDS OF CHILDREN IN THEIR PLACE TO PLAY. BE LIBERTY TO IMPROVE WITH EVER SOLUTION THAT SERVES ALL OF OUR KIDS.

IF IT WERE WITHIN 100 MILES OF THE DESIGNATED HURRICANE, EVEN IF IT HIT THE TAP TIP OF NASSAU COUNTY IT WOULD PUT ALL OF NASSAU COUNTY WITH IT. IF WE COULD GET THROUGH THIS RAKE IN SEASON IT WILL BE THIS UNSIGHTLY BECAUSE IT RESETS FOR A YEAR WITHIN THAT 100-MILE RADIUS OF THE HURRICANE.

AND THEN, IN SOME OF THE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THAT WE LOOKE AT THE FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS IN THERE WAS A REQUIREMENT IN THE CODE AND WITHIN THE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT THAT WE DO ANNUAL INSPECTIONS AND WE DETERMINED W WEREN'T DOING THAT.

THERE IS ALSO ANNUAL INCREASES, LOTS OF REVIEWS AND THOSE AGREEMENTS SO WE TOOK A FRESH LOOK AT ALL OF THEM EVENLY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE DOING WHA WERE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING WITH THIS FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS FOR ALL HOLDERS OF THOSE FRANCHISE

AGREEMENTS. >> ANY QUESTIONS FROM OUR CITY

THE 100 MILES, THE LANGUAGE IN THE STATE STATUTE SAYS FROM THE NEW TROPICAL CYCLONE REPORT, THEY WEREN'T CLEAR WHERE THEY

MEASURE THAT 100 MILES. >> I THINK THAT'S STILL BEING DETERMINED, SO FAR IT HASN'T BEEN CLOSE ENOUGH FOR US TO BE CONCERNED, BUT YOU'RE RIGHT, IT'S THAT TRACK THAT DOES MAKE IT DIFFICULT AND IF IT GETS CLOSE ENOUGH, WE WILL HAVE TO DETERMINE THAT BUT THUS FAR WE'VE NOT HAD ANYTHING EVEN THE MORE RECENT ONE DID NOT COME CLOSE ENOUGH.

>> SO IF WE COULD FINALLY MAKE SOME LAND-USE UPDATES, COULD WE DO FIRST READINGS IN SEPTEMBER AND HAVE QUEUED UP A SECOND READING. IF IT EXPIRES AT OCTOBER 1 AND WE CAN SQUEEZE IN A SECOND READING OCTOBER 7TH SAY, BECAUS WE'RE NOW IN PEAK HURRICANE SEASON.

EVERY DAY WE WILL BE ABOUT TO B WITHIN 100 DAYS AT THE AND OUR

CLOCK RESETS FOR ANOTHER YEAR. >> WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IT AND THOUGHT IT WAS ENDING NOVEMBER 1 , LIQUID JUST MOMENTS AWAY FROM IT BEING OVER. TAKE IT YOU MEAN NEXT YEAR.

THAT IT COULD RESET. >> SORRY, I WASN'T LOOKING AHEAD . YOU COULD BECAUSE IT'S NOT CONNECTED AND YOU'RE NOT VIOLATING YOU COULD DO SOMETHIN ON SEPTEMBER 1 BUT YOU'RE RIGHT THE SECOND MEETING.

>> IT HAS TO BE ENACTED. I THINK AT FIRST READING IS NOT

GOING TO PUT YOU IN VIOLATION. >> THEN THAT IS MY MAJOR GOAL T STAFF THAT WEEK YOU UP A WHOLE BUNCH OF MINOR TWEAKS THAT WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT TO LAND USE AND THAT WOULD HAVE FIRST READINGS IN SEPTEMBER SO WE CAN GET SECOND READINGS IN OCTOBER BEFORE SOMEWHERE WITHIN 100 MILES OF US, THE CLOCK RESETS AND WE WILL HAVE OUR HANDS TIED AGAIN.
