TRAN SEVEN. >> AT THIS TIME WE WILL RISE FOR THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.

PLEASE REMAIN STANDING. WE WILL HAVE THE INVOCATION. I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, TO WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE WITH

>> WE HAVE ONE PROCLAMATION TONIGHT. WE HAVE HAVE ANY MORE FROM THE

[4.1 PROCLAMATION - 15TH ANNUAL NATIONAL FRIENDS OF LIBRARIES WEEK]

LIBRARY. >> WELCOME. >> IT IS GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

HOW ARE YOU? >> THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, THE FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY RAISE CRITICAL FUNDING WHICH ENABLES THE LIBRARY. TO PROVIDE VALUABLE RESOURCES WHICH OFFERS OPPORTUNITIES FOR CITIZENS TO ENGAGE IN LIFELONG LEARNING.

LIBRARIES ARE THE CORNERSTONES OF COMMUNITY SPIRIT ACCORDINGLY THEY UNDERSTAND THE CRITICAL NEED FOR WELL-FUNDED LIBRARIES AND ADVOCATE TO ENSURE THE PUBLIC LIBRARY RECEIVES THE RESOURCES NEEDED TO PROVIDE PUBLIC SERVICES INCLUDING RESEARCH, ADDITIONAL PROGRAMMING, EQUIPMENT, SUPPORT CHILDREN PROGRAMS, AND SPECIAL EVENTS.

WHEREAS LIBRARY PROGRAMS OPEN POSSIBILITIES BY HAVING FREE ACCESS TO PRINT AND ELECTRONIC MATERIALS AND RESOURCES AND TECHNOLOGY. LIBRARY SUPPORT DEMOCRACY AND AFFECT SOCIAL CHANGE THROUGH THEIR COMMITMENT TO ALLOW EVERYONE TO USE THEM REGARDLESS OF RACE, CREED, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, OR ECONOMIC STATUS. WE ASK FRIENDS ROUTINELY TO CONTRIBUTE MONEY TO THE BETTERMENT OF OUR LIBRARY. THEIR GIFT AND COMMITMENT SHOWS HOW THIS LEADS TO THE BENEFIT OF THE OVERALL COMMUNITY. NOW THEREFORE, BY THE VIRTUE INVESTED IN ME AS THE MAYOR, TO PROCLAIM THAT WEEK OCTOBER 20 AS NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK.

THANK YOU FOR VOLUNTEERING. WE WANT YOU TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE RESOURCES AVAILABLE AT THE

LIBRARY. CONGRATULATIONS. >> DO YOU WANT TO SAY A FEW

WORDS? >> I WANT TO THANK YOU MAYOR MILLER AND CITY COMMISSIONERS, WE ALSO ARE A PARTNER WITH THE CITY AND WE ARE HAPPY WITH THAT PARTNERSHIP AND WE ARE GRATEFUL.

FOR OUR BOOK SALE WE HOPE TO ANNOUNCE THE DATE VERY SOON. WE ARE WORKING HARD TO GET IT TOGETHER. THAT IS THE ONE EVENT THAT HELPS US TO PUT BOOKS ON THE SHELVES AND OTHER THINGS THAT BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS.

WE APPRECIATE IT. >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

>> THIS WILL BE MY LAST TIME DOING THIS. >> IT IS ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS

I DID. >> WE APPRECIATE YOU. WE WILL SEE YOU AT THE LIBRARY.

[00:05:04]

>> ABSOLUTELY. >> OKAY ITEM FOR POINT TO. A PRESENTATION FOR THE PLANNING

[4.2 PRESENTATION - PLANNING ADVISORY BOARD]

I THINK I SAW THE VICE MAYOR OF THEIR. WELCOME.

IS THERE ANYONE I MISSED? >> ANOTHER MAYOR. >> HELLO.

YOU CHANGE YOUR HAIR. I DID NOT RECOGNIZE YOU. >> WELCOME.

>> GOOD EVENING, MY NAME IS MS. MINSHEW. I AM THE CHAIR OF THE PLANNING ADVISORY BOARD. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO YOU GUYS TONIGHT.

AGAIN, JUST A REMINDER, THE BOARD HAS SEVEN MEMBERS. HERE ARE THEIR NAMES.

AND HERE IS A QUICK VIEW OF THE RULES AND RESPONSIBILITIES. WE ARE THE LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY DEFINED UNDER THE STATE LAW. I CAN ALMOST MEMORIZE THAT NOW. WE FOCUS ON ZONING AND FUTURE LAND USE AMENDMENTS, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND HOLD AN ANNEXATION.

PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLATS AND REQUESTS FOR ABANDONMENT. WE MEET REGULARLY ON THE SECOND WEDNESDAY OF EVERY MONTH. WE DO HOLD WORKSHOPS AND SPECIAL MEETINGS AS REQUIRED.

>> I AM ACTUALLY VERY PROUD OF THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE. WE HAVE DONE A LOT OF WORK, AND AS YOU LOOK THROUGH THE LIST, YOU CAN SEE IT IS ON A VARIETY OF ISSUES THAT COMPLEXITIES THAT WE WORK THROUGH. HE GOES FOR OUR MEETINGS AND WORKSHOPS.

I AM VERY PROUD OF THE WORK WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED. WITH REGARD TO THE MAPPING ERRORS, WE WILL -- WORK THROUGH A LOT OF THEM. MOSTLY IN ZONING.

WE HAD EVERYTHING WORKED OUT. THERE ARE 12 REMAINING PROPERTIES ON THE LIST.

AND WE WOULD LIKE A LITTLE BIT OF ADVICE FROM THE BOARD ON. THE FIRST ONE IS ON FIRST AVENUE AND SOUTH FLETCHER. THEY HAVE TO DO WITH SPLIT ZONING.

WHICH MEANS ON THE SAME PIECE OF PROPERTY, IT MAY BE ZONED COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL.

>> WE ARE READY TO PURSUE THESE IF IT IS THE BOARD'S PLEASURE THAT WE GO THE FINAL STEP.

THE ONLY THING I WOULD SAY, THESE WILL REQUIRE A FAIR AMOUNT OF DISCUSSION WITH THE PROPERTY OWNERS AND WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE NO UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES.

THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE CONFLICTS AND MISMATCHES. KELLY ACTUALLY WORKED ON WON THIS AFTERNOON, THAT SHE DID NOT KNOW ABOUT BECAUSE IT WAS A NONCONFORMING ISSUE.

THESE ARE THE LAST 12 ON THE ORIGINAL LIST THAT WE PRESENTED TO YOU, I GUESS IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN TWO YEARS. SO IF IT IS YOUR PLEASURE WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK THROUGH

THESE. >> WE ALSO, I'VE DONE A BUNCH OF ANNEXATIONS THIS YEAR.

ACTUALLY WITHIN THE LAST SIX MONTHS. PROBABLY THE MOST SIGNIFICANT ONE IS THE MEDICAL CENTER. WE RECENTLY, THIS PAST MEETING DID WORK ON AN ANNEXATION REQUEST OF THE AREA HERE. THOUGH THESE ARE CONTINUING TO GROW AND WE ARE GETTING MORE

EVERY DAY. >> SO TO TALK ABOUT THE BOARD AND THE STAFF.

WE BASICALLY HAVE A NEW BOARD. THERE ARE FIVE OF THE SEVEN MEMBERS WHO HAVE BEEN ON THE BOARD BARELY A YEAR OR LESS. WE HAVE HAD THREE WITHIN THE LAST MONTH.

I HAVE BEEN ON THE BOARD ABOUT 18 MONTHS. MEMBER BENNETT AND SCHAEFER ARE THE ONES WHO HAVE BEEN THERE THE LONGEST. WE OFTEN REFER TO MEMBER BENNETT AS OUR MUCH APPRECIATED HISTORIAN WHO CAN HELP US UNDERSTAND WHERE WE ARE GOING.

THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT IS FULLY STAFFED, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THEY HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY STAFFED AS WELL. AND THEY HAVE IMPLEMENTED A NEW ONLINE WORKFLOW MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WHICH IS ALLOWING THEM TO FOCUS ON REDUCING PERMIT REVIEW TIMES, BETTER RESEARCH AND FOCUS

[00:10:01]

>> SO I AM SURE YOU HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE. IT COMES OUT OF THIS PLAN.

IT JUST TALKS ABOUT HOW THE WHOLE THING WORKS. SO THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND IS A DOCUMENT THAT SHOWS THE GENERAL DIRECTION FOR THE PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE CITY.

THEY SET THE FRAMEWORK FOR WHICH WE CAN IMPLEMENT THE TOP PLAN. I ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE THE COMP PLAN IS A VISION AND A MAP. WE SET THE PLANT -- THE PLAN IS ON THE IMPROVEMENT PLAN FOR ENROLLING FIVE YEARS AND THE POLICIES AND PROCESSES FOR MAINTAINING AND UPGRADING ASSETS FOR THE CITY. THIS LETS THE CITY ACHIEVE SMART GROWTH WHICH ALLOWS THE

ADMINISTRATION TO BE PROACTIVE IN PLANNING FOR THE CITY. >> SO NOW, I WANT TO CHANGE COURSE A LITTLE BIT AND TALK MORE ABOUT, THE PROPOSED REWRITE PROJECT THAT IS ON THE AGENDA FOR LATER THIS EVENING. I WANT TO GIVE YOU A BRIEF OUTLINE HERE FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT MAY HAVE GONE THROUGH THESE PROCESSES TOWARD THESE PROJECTS BEFORE, THIS IS A STANDARD APPROACH TO GATHERING INPUT, REVIEWING AND ASSESSING AND PROVIDING DRAFTS.

TRADITIONALLY A VERY SMALL APPROACH WHERE YOU GET VOLUME ALONG THE WAY.

SO WE TALK ABOUT PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PROGRAMS, DOING REVIEWS, ASSESSES AND CHANGES TO THE COMP PLAN AND THAT WILL BE BROUGHT IN FRONT OF YOU AS WELL AS THE COMMUNITY SO WE CAN OBTAIN CONSENSUS AND THEN HAVE FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOW WE WOULD DO THE REWRITE SPIRIT.

>> SOME OF OUR DELIVERABLES WOULD INCLUDE A PRIVATE WEBSITE, A COMMUNICATION STRATEGY.

A PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PROGRAM AND DATA ANALYSIS, DRAFTS, AND FINAL DELIVERIES.

>> THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF CONVERSATION ON WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE EA ARTWORK THAT WAS DONE.

WE HAVE DONE SOME ANALYSIS ON THE FEEDBACK. THE MAJOR TAKE AWAY IS FOCUSING ON IMPLEMENTATION AND ENFORCEMENT IN THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.

SO, FOR OUR PROPOSAL AND APPROACH, OR THE COMP PLAN WE ARE NOT PROPOSING A FULL REWRITE. WE ARE PROPOSING A REWRITE IN CERTAIN SEGMENTS AND CERTAIN COMPONENTS OF THE PLAN, AND TRANSPORTATION IS AN EXAMPLE. WE WOULD MAINTAIN THE CURRENT DIRECTION AND UPDATES. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE. REMOVE OUTDATED REFERENCES AND TIME FRAMES AND STRENGTHEN POLICIES. THE REAL WORK NEEDS TO BE DONE IN THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE WHERE WE NEED TO TRANSLATE POLICY INTO COAT THAT IS SIMPLE TO UNDERSTAND AND EASY. WHAT HAS HAPPENED IS, THEY HAVE BEEN THIS TYPE.

WHETHER IT IS A SET OF RULES OR REGULATIONS OR SYSTEM, YOU BEGIN TO GET INCONSISTENCIES.

AND YOU FIND ONE THING OVER HERE AND IT CONFLICTS OVER HERE. WE THINK THAT IS WHERE A

SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR WORK WILL BE HELD. >> THIS IS A PROPOSED PLAN AND VIEW AND ONE OF THE WAYS WE WILL APPROACH THIS. THE BOARD WOULD MAINTAIN THEIR CURRENT POSITION AS BEING AN OVERSIGHT AND PROVIDING INPUT. WE ARE RECOMMENDING TO COMMITTEES. AN INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL. BOTH WOULD PROVIDE INPUT AS WE MOVE FORWARD. IMPORTANT TO INCLUDE, WE THINK IT IS IMPORTANT ESPECIALLY ON THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO INCLUDE UPPER REST -- UNDERREPRESENTED COMMUNITIES SUCH AS THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY. WE ALSO HAVE THE CHAMBER REACH

[00:15:02]

>> ON THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE WE HAVE A HYBRID WHICH I FIND HARD TO EXPLAIN.

IT IS MORE ABOUT PICTURES AND CONCEPTS AS OPPOSED TO ZONING AND MRS. GIBSON CAN GIVE YOU A LONG DETAILED EXPLANATION. SO WE WILL LOOK AT FORMATTING. WE WILL LOOK AT MAKING IT MORE SIMPLE. AND THE STANDARDS THAT NEED TO BE REVIEWED.

ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS AND THERE ARE A LIST OF OUTSTANDING REVISIONS THAT HAVE BEEN SITTING ON THE PLANNING DIRECTOR'S DESK FOR A WHILE. SO WHAT ARE OUR NEXT STEPS.

WHAT WOULD WE LIKE TO DO. I WOULD ASK THAT TONIGHT, YOU HAVE THESE ITEMS ON YOUR AGENDA.

I ASK THAT YOU APPROVE THEM. FROM THAT, WE CAN DELIVER MORE DELIVERABLES AND WE CAN BEGIN NEGOTIATIONS WITH TOP VENDORS SO WE CAN GET TO ACTUAL CAUSE. AT THIS POINT WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS WILL CAUSE BECAUSE WE DID AND RFQ. SO WE HAVE NO MONEY AT ALL, IN TERMS OF WHAT IT WILL COST US. SO WE NEED TO QUICKLY GET TO THAT, AND FIND OUT WHAT OUR DELIVERABLES WILL BE. THEN WE WILL HAVE A PROJECT PLAN.

WE WILL HAVE A PROJECT KICKOFF WHICH WILL BRING THIS TO THE COMMUNITY AND ESTABLISH COMMITTEES TO DETERMINE THE GOALS, THE MEETING SCHEDULE AND OF COURSE WE WOULD PROVIDE YOU, AS WELL AS THE PAB REGULAR UPDATES. ON A MONTHLY BASIS AS WE WORK WITH THIS PROJECT. WE ARE NOT SURE HOW LONG IT WILL BE, BECAUSE WE NEED TO SIT DOWN AND DO THE DEEP DIVE WITH VENDORS AND WORK OUT THE NUTS AND BOLTS.

>> SO THAT IS IT. ANY QUESTIONS? >> VICE MAYOR?

>> NO QUESTIONS BUT COMMENTS. I WAS PLEASED THAT YOU PUT UP THE STATE STATUE OF THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE LOCAL PLANNING AGENCIES. THAT IS THE RESPONSIBLE PERSON FOR THE PREPARAION OF THE PLAN AND THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. I THINK MOST OF YOU KNOW, AND I SERVED ON THE PAB FOR SIX YEARS INCLUDING THE REWRITE OF THE CLASS PLAN. I HAVE BEEN MONITORING THIS PROCESS AND I STRONGLY SUPPORT THE METHOD MOVING FORWARD. I WOULD LIKE TO LET THE PLANNING ADVISORY BOARD DO THEIR JOB AND THEN IT WILL COME BACK TO THE GOVERNING BOARD FOR APPROVAL.

THE ONLY OTHER COMMENT I WOULD MAKE. AND I HAVE FULL CONFIDENCE IN

[00:20:01]

TO DO. >> THANK YOU. >> CAN YOU GO TO THE LAST SLIDE

ON THIS DEPTHS PLEASE. >> THANK YOU. SO ONE QUESTION I HAVE IS, WOULDN'T YOU WANT TO FINALIZE THE SCOPE OF WORK AND DELIVERABLES BEFORE YOU SELECT A

CONSULTANT. >> I THINK WE WOULD DO THAT CONCURRENTLY.

ONE THING WE CAN DO, I THINK WHEN YOU TALK TO THE CONSULTING FIRMS, IT WOULD HELP YOU GET MORE CLARITY AROUND YOUR SCOPE AND DELIVERABLES. WE HAVE A DETAILED SET OF SCOPE AND DELIVERABLES TODAY BECAUSE, MRS. GIBSON WROTE IT PRIOR TO THE RF QUEUE.

>> WE HAVE VERY DETAILED SCOPE AND DELIVERABLES, THAT WE FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH AND WE CAN SIT DOWN AND TALK WITH THE VENDOR ABOUT IT TODAY. I THINK THERE WILL BE SOME TWEAKS BECAUSE WE ARE NOT RECOMMENDING A FULL REWRITE. AND SO WE WILL DO SOME ADJUSTMENTS. WE HAVE A DETAILED SCOPE AND SET OF DELIVERABLES ALREADY.

THAT'S WHAT WE WOULD CONTINUE TO TWEAK AS WE WORK WITH THE RESULTS.

DO YOU HAVE A PROJECT BUDGET IN MIND, NOT TO EXCEED -- >> NOT REALLY.

WE HAVE HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY IT WOULD BE AND I KNOW THERE IS SOME MONEY THAT WAS SET ASIDE IN THE BUDGET FOR A PROJECT MANAGER THAT ENDS UP BEING $87,000.

MS. GIBSON SAID SHE THINKS SHE HAS THE MONEY IN THE BUDGET THAT CAN BE REALLOCATED.

THERE'S THAT, BUT FRANKLY, I WANT TO SEE THERE'S TWO WAYS TO APPROACH THIS.

SO WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE. SO LET'S WRITE A MORE DETAILED SCOPE IN TERMS OF HOW YOUR VIEW IS. I'M TRYING TO FIND THE ORIGINAL ESTIMATE.

THERE WAS A BUDGET NUMBER UP TO 50. THAT WAS JUST A BUDGET NUMBER.

THIS IS NOT GOING DOWN OF PIPE WITH A CONSULTANT. I GET IT AND I UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING. WITH ANY COMING WE SELECT WITHIN THE BUDGET, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO

SEE A PROJECT NUMBER. >> ME TOO. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT AS

WELL. THIS WILL COST. >> WE WOULD COME THANK YOU ALL

VERY MUCH I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. >> ALL RIGHT ITEM 4.3.

[4.3 BUDGET SUMMARY]

[00:25:13]

AND THE COMPTROLLERS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >> GOOD EVENING I AM THE COMPTROLLER. WE STILL HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO FOR THE YEAR INPUT OR IT IS THE 12TH AND FINAL MONTH OF THE BUDGET AND FISCAL YEAR. YEAR-TO-DATE REVENUE IS AT 71%

OF THE ANNUAL BUDGET. >> CURRENTLY THE RECEIPTS ARE CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF THE BUDGET. AND OTHER TRANSFERS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.

FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND, PURCHASES HAVE BEEN COMPLETED AND A GENERATOR AND FIRE TRUCK.

GOLF COURSE REVENUES EXCEED. AIRPORT REVENUES EXCEED EXPENSES FROM HOURLY DUE TO GRANT, ALL UTILITY FUNDS, EXCEPT FOR STORMWATER AND THIS IS DUE TO THE FIXED ASSETS.

I DID AND OUT, ANOTHER SCHEDULE. AND WHAT THIS SHOWS, IT SHOWS THE CURRENT YEAR AND THE REVISED BUDGET. IT ALSO SHOWS YOU LAST YEAR HOW WE CAME IN.

IT SHOWS THE 21 BUDGET ESTIMATE AND THE STATE AS REVISED THAT BUDGET AND IT IS FAVORABLE.

>> ONTO SECTION FIVE. CITY COMMISSION DISCUSSION. CONSERVATION ENVIRONMENT.

THIS ITEM IS PLACED ON THE AGENDA AT THE REQUEST OF THE COMMISSIONER.

>> I WILL WAVE MY TIME ON FIVE-POINT ONE IN 5.2. >> THANK YOU.

>> I HAVE SOMETHING I WANT TO DISCUSS. THE WATERFRONT DEVELOPMENT.

[5.2 WATERFRONT DEVELOPMENT]

>> WILL LET'S MOVE DOWN TO FIVE-POINT TO WITH THE WATER DEVELOPMENT.

>> CAN YOU PUT UP THE CHART PLEASE? I WON'T SPEND A LOT OF TIME BECAUSE I WILL DISCUSS THIS LATER WITH THE CITY MANAGER AND CITY ATTORNEY.

OUR ENGINEER WILL BE HERE IN NOVEMBER. THIS IS INTERESTING.

THIS IS A RISE. IF YOU LOOK CLOSE, YOU CAN SEE, THAT WAS YESTERDAY.

AND MORE IMPORTANT, ON THE 18TH AND 19TH OF SEPTEMBER, ALL OF THAT CAME UP AND IT DID CROSS EIGHTH STREET. SO ALL OF THE WATER WAS THERE. THEY WERE BOTH BY EIGHT-FOOT TIDES. SO, WE ARE GETTING THERE PRETTY QUICKLY.

ONE PROBLEM I HAD WAS THE SCOPE NEVER INCLUDED THAT AREA. I THINK WE NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. THE REASON I PUT THIS ON HERE IS MY CONCERN WITH THE PLUMBING FOR THESE PROJECTS AND I WON'T GET INTO IT TOO MUCH BUT THESE ARE SIGNIFICANT.

THIS IS DOWN FROM $27 MILLION. IF WE GET A WATER RESOURCE ACT WE WILL HAVE TO COME UP WITH 35% LOCAL SHARE. WE ALSO HAVE THE PARKS WHICH CAN BE $8 MILLION.

AND WE HAVE MORE ISSUES WITH THAT. NONE OF THOSE ARE IN THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN. I WILL TALK ABOUT THEM AND THE CITY MANAGER WILL HAVE OUR ENGINEER HERE IN NOVEMBER. WE REALLY HAVE TO START PLANNING THESE ISSUES.

MY CONCERN IS THE LIKELIHOOD OF GETTING FEDERAL MONEY IS SLIM. BUT IF WE DON'T GET IT, IS IN THE SHORELINE STABILIZATION. AND THAT IS IT. I WILL GET INTO MORE DETAILS

LATER. >> THANK YOU. >> YOU CAN LEAVE THAT UP.

>> GO AHEAD. >> CAN YOU BRING THAT DOWN? >> I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT ONE THING. FLOODS. THAT'S ALL I WANT TO POINT OUT.

[00:30:04]

ALL THEY ARE REPORTING OUR FLOODS. >> WHERE DOES THAT COME FROM.

THIS WOULD MATCH THE U.S. COURT OF ENGINEER. IT IS CONCERNING BECAUSE I REMEMBER COMING DOWN THIS STREET AND IT WAS FLOODED. AND YOU COULDN'T GET THROUGH THE AREA. BUT THAT IS WHERE THE DATA CAME FROM.

YOU CAN LOOK ON THE WEBSITE AND PUT IN WHAT YOU WANT. IT IS 9 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL.

SO YOU CAN SEE, SO IT IS AT 3 FEET, THE HOUSES ARE ON THE WATER.

SO THAT'S ANOTHER BIG DEAL, WE ARE WORKING ON THAT ISSUE. THE ISSUE FOR THE WHOLE CITY.

>> THANK YOU SIR. >> WHAT IS THIS? >> YESTERDAY.

IT WAS OVER HERE. THIS IS JUST A PROJECTION AND A MODEL.

>> LIKE I SAID. ON SEPTEMBER, 18TH AND 19TH WE HAD A TIED ALSO.

THAT CROSS EIGHTH STREET. YESTERDAY WE HAD HIGH TIDE. AROUND 11:00 A.M. IT WAS COMING.

BUT YOU CAN SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN. THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER FACTORS.

SO WE CERTAINLY ARE IN JEOPARDY. >> >> THIS IS A PROJECTION OF WIND?

>> 3 FEET ABOVE MEAN SEA LEVEL. >> THIS IS WHAT WOULD HAPPEN. YOU CAN GO ANYWHERE IN THE CITY.

>> THIS IS A MAP. IT SHOWS IF THE SEA RISES 3 FEET.

IF THE SEA RISES 3 FEET. THIS IS THE NIGHT TIDE. THAT IS WHERE THE WATER WILL BE.

IT IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN WHEN THE TIDE COMES IN-AND-OUT. THIS WOULD BE PERMANENT WATER,

AT THE SEA LEVEL IF IT GOES UP . >> THAT WAS MY NEXT QUESTION. >> AND AGAIN.

THIS IS IF WE DO NOTHING. IF WE DO NOTHING BUT PUT UP SIGNS.

>> PUT UP A SIGN THAT SAYS NO FLOODING. >> WE CAN TRY.

YOUR LIGHT IS ON. ITEM 5.3. MR. ROSS YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.

[5.3 MARINA]

>> THE CITY MANAGER CAN GIVE US AN UPDATE ON THE FUEL SITUATION. >> THE FUEL SITUATION, I SHARED WITH YOU, AND E-MAIL FROM THE CONTRACTOR. BASICALLY THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE CONTRACTOR IS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH A FULL REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL LINE.

WE ARE ALL SCHEDULED TO MEET ON THURSDAY TO GO OVER HOW TO PROCEED WITH THE PROCESS.

WITH THE CONTRACTS, WE HAVE COMPLETED OUR WORK NEGOTIATIONS WITH OASIS.

WE HAVE PROVIDED A COPY OF THE DRAFT CONTRACT TO THE ADVISORY BOARD.

AND WE ANTICIPATE, WE ALSO SENT IT TO COUNSEL AND THE FLORIDA INLAND NAVIGATION TO MAKE SURE WE COMPLY WITH BOND AND GRANT REQUIREMENTS. THAT WILL BE BEFORE YOU FOR

FORMAL CONSIDERATION. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU MR. MAYOR.

CHANGE I HAVE JUST TWO QUESTIONS. I DID SEE THE E-MAIL THAT YOU HAD FOR MS. CHAPMAN. IF I READ THAT CORRECTLY, EACH BID WAS IN EXCESS OF $200,000.

>> YES, SIR. >> HOW WOULD WE FIND THAT? >> WE STILL HAVE MONEY ON THE

LINE, A CREDIT THAT WAS TAKEN OUT THE RECONSTRUCTION. >> THANK YOU.

[00:35:02]

>> I THINK THEY'LL ACTUALLY SAID, BUT I WILL BE MORE SPECIFIC.

THAT IS A PROJECT WE WILL NEED ENGINEERING ON. WE CAN'T JUST GO OFF OF THE

QUOTES. >> IS THAT WHAT YOU WERE SAYING? >> THE PROCESS WE WILL TALK

ABOUT ON THURSDAY. >> ITEM 5.4. -- WERE YOU DONE SIR?

>> ITEM FIVE-POINT FOR. PORT AUTHORITY. THIS IS THAT THE REQUEST OF

[5.4 OCEAN HIGHWAY AND PORT AUTHORITY (OHPA)]

COMMISSIONER ROSS. >> BOTH COMMISSIONER, AND COMMISSIONER LEDNOVICH ALIKE ATTENDED THE LAST MEETING. I WILL JUST RECAP QUICKLY. NUMBER ONE, THE COMMISSIONER, THE PORT COMMISSIONERS WERE ANGRY WITH OUR LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES.

IN FACT THEY CALLED THEM EXTORTION AND MANIPULATION. THEY PASSED TWO REVOLUTIONS WHICH I FORWARDED TO YOU. NUMBER TWO, THE PORT WHEN ASKED ABOUT WHAT THEIR PLAN FOR FLOODING WAS SAID TALK TO THE OPERATOR. SO BASICALLY THERE IS NO PLAN.

NUMBER THREE MATT, THE CURRENT COUNSEL ONCE THAT HANDS OUT ALL OF THE MONEY, THEIR RECENT REPORT SAYS THEY WANT TO BUILD IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, A 1,000-FOOT EXTENSION.

A 500,000 SQUARE-FOOT WAREHOUSE ON THE DOCK, AND THEY ALSO ASKED THEM TO NOT SEND THE PORT OPERATOR, WHOM THEY NAMED AS THEIR DIRECTOR TO GO THERE ANYMORE.

THEY WANTED A NEW PORT DIRECTOR WHICH IS INTERESTING. THEY WERE QUITE ANGRY ABOUT OUR ATTORNEY SENDING THEM A LETTER THAT WAS PUTTING THEM ON NOTICE ABOUT TEARING DOWN A CUSTOMHOUSE. AND FINALLY, WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO PUT ON THE FUTURE AGENDA IS THAT THE PORT HAS SEVEN PROJECTS THAT ARE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, THAT THEY ARE FUNDED AND ALL OF THE PROJECTS, F.SAYS THERE HAS TO BE A MASTER PLAN FOR THE CITY AND THEY HAVE TO FOLLOW THE RULES AND ORDINANCES. AND I WOULD LIKE TO PUT ON THE AGENDA THE CONSENSUS OF THE CITY ATTORNEY TO LOOK INTO THAT. AND WE WANT TO BRING IT TO THEIR ATTENTION.

BECAUSE THEY HAVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN FUNDING FROM F.AND THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO COMPLY WITH CITY ORDINANCES. AND THEY MADE IT CLEAR THEY WOULD NOT DO THAT.

I THINK IS THAT A CLEAR REPRESENTATION OF WHAT HAPPENED? >> I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.

A COUPLE OF CONSTITUENTS HAVE ASKED ME ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS TENT WAREHOUSE.

WHY THEY ARE EXEMPT FROM IMPACT FEES. >> THEY ARE UNDER SECTION 12.

IT SAYS THAT, THEY DO NOT HAVE TO PAY. I DON'T HAVE THE LANGUAGE IN FRONT OF ME. THEY DON'T HAVE TO APPLY FOR PERMITS.

ANYTHING ON THE LOCAL LEVEL THEY ARE EXEMPT. THAT IS BASICALLY WHAT IT SAYS.

THAT IS HOW THEY HAVE INTERPRETED IT AND WE WOULD LIKE THEM TO COME TO US FOR THOSE APPROVALS. WE KNOW IN THE PAST THEY HAVE COME WITH A FULL-BLOWN REZONING APPLICATION FOR THE LOTS THEY HAVE LOAN -- OWN. BUT SINCE THEN THEY HAVE TAKEN THE POSITION THAT THEY HAVE A NEW ATTORNEY AND THEY ARE NOT PAYING FEES.

IMPACT FEES AREN'T LOCALLY ASSESSED FEES. BUT WHAT I DID TELL THEM, IN AN E-MAIL THAT IF THEY PLAN TO HAVE ANY TYPE OF WATER OR SEWER WORK FOR THE WAREHOUSE THEY WILL HAVE TO PAY SEWER AND WATER IMPACT FEES. BUT THE PUBLIC FACILITIES AND THE FIRE AND THE POLICE, WE DON'T HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT, WE CAN SAY TOO BAD, AND NOT GIVE THEM A BUILDING PERMIT. I SUSPECT THEY WILL GO FORWARD ANYWAY.

I HAVE CONCERNS BECAUSE THE BUILDING CODE IS PROTECTING OUR SAFETY.

I WANT THEM TO GET A BUILDING PERMIT, HAVE IT INSPECTED. IT IS A CIRCUS TENT.

AND THEY MAY HAVE PRODUCTS, NONHAZARDOUS MATERIALS, BUT THAT TENT HAS TO BE, FROM WHAT I KNOW. THEY HAVE NOT LOOKED AT THE BUILDING PLANS.

THE LAST THING WE RECEIVED WAS JUST FROM, IT WAS CALLED A FABRIC.

[00:40:01]

I WANT THE COMMUNITY TO BE SAFE. WE NEED TO COLLECT FEES BUT THAT IS A DISPUTE THAT WE WOULD HAVE WENT PORT AUTHORITY WHICH IS WHY WE ARE ASKING FOR LEGISLATION. I DON'T THINK THIS IS THE TIME TO RESOLVE IT, BY REFUSING BUILDING PERMITS, BECAUSE THEY DON'T PAY THE $25,000 IN IMPACT FEES AND THEN THEY DO IT ON THEIR OWN AND WE HAVE ONE LAWSUIT GOING AND WE WILL GO BACK IN AND WE WILL GET THERE I THINK, WE HAVE NEW COMMISSIONERS BUT I DON'T THINK NOW IS THE TIME. IF YOU DIRECT ME TOO DO SOMETHING ELSE WE CAN REFUSE

BUILDING PERMITS. >> I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR. WE ARE REQUIRING, THE BUILDING

PERMIT? >> YES PERCHANCE WE ARE REQUIRING THEY HAVE A LICENSE

CONTRACTOR ERECT THE STRUCTURE. >> YES. >> BUT WE ARE EXEMPTING THEM?

>> WE ARE SEEING AT THIS TIME, AT THIS TIME THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO ARGUE ABOUT IMPACT FEES BEFORE GIVING THEM BUILDING PERMITS IF THEY FOLLOW THE PROCESS.

>> CAN YOU TELL ME THE STATUS OF THE PILOT? >> YES, THAT COMPLAINT YOU JUST FINISHED DRAFTING, THE COMPLAINT AND THE COUNTS WILL BE FELT THIS WEEK FOR SURE.

YOU WILL ALL GET A COPY. >> THANK YOU, VERY MUCH. >> COMMISSIONER ROSS?

>> THE BUILDING IS REALLY A METAL BUILDING, AND THE SKIN IS FABRIC.

WHETHER IT IS HAZARDOUS OR NOT HAZARDOUS THEY NEVER SAID. >> WELL, WE KNOW THEY ARE NOT

MOVING HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. >> HOW DO WE KNOW THAT? >> ANYWAY, I DON'T KNOW.

>> I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION. >> I THINK, YOU POINTED OUT CORRECTLY, THAT THEY ARE EXEMPT FROM BUILDING PERMITS OF THEIR CHARTER WHICH IS A STATE LAW. I HAVE ASKED, THAT THE CITY TAKE A LOOK. I THINK THERE ARE 13 PORTS IN FLORIDA, I ASKED THE ATTORNEY TO SEE WHAT THE OTHER PORTS ARE DOING. BUT IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THE PROCESS OCCURS. THEY DO HAVE TO MEET THE FLORIDA BUILDING CODE, HOW WILL THAT HAPPEN. I THOUGHT WE WERE REMOVING MORE BUT IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THAT,

AT THIS POINT. >> THE PORT ATTORNEY, WE ARE BEHAVING THE SAME AND THAT IS

HELPFUL. >> JUST AS COMMON, HE MENTIONED TO ME THE DIFFICULTY THAT THEY ANTICIPATED MAJOR PROBLEMS MOVING THIS FORWARD. THAT DOES NOT SURPRISE ME BECAUSE WE CAN'T REMEMBER WHEN WE TRIED TO GIVE PROPERTY AWAY. IT WOULD BE GOOD IF WE COULD WORK SOMETHING OUT. MAYBE WHEN THE NEW COMMISSION COMES THROUGH.

>> MR. MAYOR, MAY I RESPOND. WITH RESPECT TO THE IMPACT FEES BECAUSE I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE COMMISSIONER. WHAT WE CALL IN THE LAW AND ISSUED THAT OF LANGUAGE IS VAGUE ENOUGH THAT YOU COULD ARGUE EITHER WAY REGARDING IMPACT FEES.

THAT IS MY STANCE. WITH THAT BEING SAID IF WE DID NOT THE BUILDING PERMIT AND THEY MOVED FORWARD, I DON'T WANT ANY SAFETY COMPROMISED OVER $25,000. WE WILL GET THAT ISSUE RESOLVED.

WE WILL GET IT ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. THEY RELY HEAVILY ON PORT AUTHORITY AND GRANT FUNDING. AND COMMISSIONER ROSS LOOKS AT THE APPLICATIONS ANY FINES PERFECTION CALLS ME UP AND SAYS THAT IS WHAT HE IS ASKING FOR. I HAVE NOT YET IN THE PAST, BUT THE GRANT FIZZLED OUT. I WAS AT THIS PODIUM AND WE TALKED ABOUT A LETTER.

I THINK THAT IS WHAT HE IS ASKING. WILL YOU AUTHORIZE ME TOO SEND A LETTER TO TELL THEM THAT WE DO HAVE DISPUTES BETWEEN THE TWO AGENCIES, AND WE EXPECT THEY

[00:45:04]

AT LEAST THEY ARE ON NOTICE. THAT WAY THE GRANT DOESN'T GET ISSUED AND MONEY GOES BY AND

IT'S IGNORED. >> I HAVE JUST ONE GLASS QUESTION.

ALSO ON THE AGENDA NOT DISCUSS. THAT THE COURT WANTS TO ACQUIRE. NOW MY UNDERSTANDING, OF PREVIOUS CONVERSATIONS THAT WE HAVE HAD, THEIR ORIGINAL FOOTPRINT WAS SENT.

AND THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO GO OUT OR EXPAND THAT FOOTPRINT. SO MY QUESTION WOULD BE, I KNOW THEY CAN ACQUIRE PROPERTY BUT HOW CAN THEY EXPAND THE FOOTPRINT TO INCLUDE IT?

>> WE BELIEVE THEY CAN'T. THEY MADE AN AGREEMENT THAT HAS BEEN MITIGATED.

THE ANNUAL PAYMENT. BUT IN THOSE AGREEMENTS, I THINK IT IS CLEAR THAT THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO EXPAND. THE PROMISE THAT WAS THE AREA THEY WOULD OPERATE FROM.

CHANGE SO WHEN THIS IS DISCUSSED , WILL YOU APPEAR AT THE OPEN MEETING AND INFORMED

THEM OF THAT? >> IF YOU ASKED ME TOO, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WILL HELP.

IF I NEED TO WRITE A LETTER TO THAT EFFECT, I ALREADY WROTE THE EXPANSION LETTER.

THAT IS THE ONE THAT MADE THEM ANGRY. THERE WERE SOME THINGS IN THERE.

BUT EXPANSION WAS ONE OF THEM. GETS OUR UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY WANTED TO EXPAND.

WE WROTE DESIRES TO ACQUIRE PROPERTY INTO OTHER THINGS BY EXPANDING THE PORT AND I SAID YOU CAN'T DO THAT. AND I THINK THAT MADE THEM ANGRY.

I DON'T THINK THEY CAN LEGALLY DO THAT. >> TALKING ABOUT THE COURT COMMISSIONER WHO THROUGH THE LETTER IN THE TRASH. BUT THERE ARE PROJECTS.

THE EASIER WAY. ALWAYS LOOK FOR THE EASY WAY TO GO FORWARD.

ALL OF THESE, ARE FUNDED. AND THEY CLEARLY SAY THEY HAVE TO FOLLOW THE RULES, TO BUY THE LAND, THEY NEED FUNDING. SO I WOULD JUST LIKE TO BRING THAT BACK.

IN TALK ABOUT IT. >> AS A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING ME TOO DO THAT?

>> WHATEVER YOU THINK IS APPROPRIATE. >> WE CAN DO THAT AS A

RESOLUTION. >> I PROMISE YOU, THIS DISCUSSION IS NOT OVER IN REGARDS TO DISCUSSION. GET THE PILOT PAYMENT COMPLAINT FILE, YOU KNOW HOW THIS WORKS.

IF WE NEED TO GO THROUGH, WE NEED TO GET THE NEW COMMISSION ELECTED.

EVERYONE TAKES THEIR OATH. AT THE FIRST OF THE YEAR, WE WILL SEE HOW THINGS ARE GOING.

IF I GET AUTHORIZATION THING WE KNOW THEY ARE ON NOTICE THAT THEY HAVE TO FILE WITH THE LOCAL

LAWS. >> THE LAST CONVERSATION I HAD WITH THE PORT ATTORNEY WAS THE CUSTOMS HOUSE. SO IT IS NOT A FORMAL OFFER BUT I WILL BRING IT HERE.

IF THE CITY WANTS TO SAVE THIS BUILDING WE CAN HAVE IT. AND THAT IS IN EXCHANGE FOR, I

AM TRYING TO REMEMBER HOW HE PUT IT. >> NOT TOTALLY, BUT YEAH.

I DID NOT THINK ABOUT IT. IT WASN'T PUT TO ME IN WRITING. IT IS NOT THE CUSTOMS HOUSE THAT WE WANT. I THINK I CAN SPEAK FOR THE COMMISSION.

WE DON'T WANT YOU TO DEMO THE CUSTOMS HOUSE AND DO WHAT YOU WANT.

WE HAVE A PROCESS. I AM NOT SURE IF THE BUILDING IS CONTRIBUTING OR NOT.

>> IN THE LETTER, IT WAS A LITTLE SNARKY. BUT I WAS TRYING TO GET THEIR

ATTENTION. >> I WILL SEE YOU IN JANUARY. >> LET ME SAY REALLY QUICK.

WHEN YOU SAID IT APPEARED THEY DON'T HAVE A PLAN FOR THE FUTURE.

-- I ASKED THEM, WHAT IS YOUR PLAN. FIRST OF ALL IT IS GREAT THAT

[00:50:08]

OPERATOR. >> IS THERE WAY WE CAN DO DATA THAT WILL SHOW IF WE DID THIS

PLAN AND THEY DID NOT DO ANYTHING WHAT THAT WOULD MEAN? >> IT WOULD MEAN THE PORT WITH

FLOOD. >> IF IT'S HIGH ENOUGH, YES. ALL RIGHT.

[5.5 COVID-19 - DISCUSS RESUMING SPECIAL EVENTS]

>> IF I COULD HAVE THE CITY MANAGER PUT UP THE CASE LIKE. THEN WE CAN REVIEW THE LAST 30

DAYS. >> THAT IS WHAT I SENT YOU. I'M SORRY.

THAT IS THE LAST TWO WEEKS. AND THE FAR LEFT BAR WOULD BE, 16 CASES, YESTERDAY WAS I BELIEVE, TEN CASES. SO YOU CAN SEE BACKTRACKING THERE.

IT'S NOT REALLY DECREASING. IT'S ABOUT THE SAME AS WE WERE AT THE LAST MEETING.

IT'S NOT GETTING ANY BETTER. WE RECEIVED AN E-MAIL, WITH MORE STATISTICS.

SO THE DAILY CASES PER 100,000 POPULATION ARE 12.6. AND THAT IS CONSIDERED HIGH.

THEN SHE SENT ANOTHER CHART THAT ESSENTIALLY THERE IS RED, ORANGE, YELLOW AND GREEN.

WE ARE IN ORANGE. RED IS DANGER. ORANGE IS AT RISK OF AN OUTBREAK. WE ARE IN ORANGE. AS I SAID, 12.6 CASES PER 100,000. OUR POSITIVE TEST RATE IS 11.2%. WHICH THIS CHART SAYS INDICATES INSUFFICIENT TESTING. SO, WE ARE AT RISK FOR AN OUTBREAK ACCORDING TO THE STATISTICS. AND COMMISSIONER ROSS, HAD MORE INFORMATION.

HE GAVE TWO DIFFERENT INTERPRETATIONS AND MAYBE YOU CAN EXPLAIN THIS.

THE NUMBER OF CASES PER 100,000 WITHIN THE LAST 14 DAYS, SHE WROTE HIGHER RISK, ALL CAPS OF TRANSMISSION. AND THEN POSITIVE FOR THE LAST 14 DAYS, A LOWER RISK OF TRANSMISSION. SO IF YOU AVERAGE THOSE TWO THINGS, IT IS ACCORDING TO THE DOCTOR, IT IS MODERATE. SO I HAVE TWO CONFLICTING PICTURES HERE.

BUT THAT IS WHAT IT IS. >> SO HERE IS WHAT I THINK. THE INFORMATION AND UNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE DISEASE IS RAPIDLY CHANGING. IT CONTINUES TO CHANGE.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS I THINK IS PRETTY SOLID IS TO PREVENT IT FROM TRANSMITTING IS YOU HAVE TO STAY 6 FEET APART. NEED TO WEAR A MASK. AND YOU NEED TO WASH HER HANDS.

THOSE ARE THE THINGS TO PREVENT THE SPREAD. THIS IS WHAT WE DID IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM. FOR TONIGHT, WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IS THE EVENTS LIKE THE VETERANS DAY PARADE, THE CHRISTMAS TREE DROP, AND THE CHRISTMAS PARADE, SO TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO ABOUT THAT , CAN YOU STAY IN THE CDC GUIDELINES.

WHAT ARE OTHER COUNTRIES DOING. I TALKED TO DOCTORS IN THE RISK MANAGEMENT PERSON.

AND THE FINAL INTERVIEW IS THERE'S ANSWER. THERE'S NO RIGHT ANSWER.

THERE IS NO CORRECT ANSWER ON WHETHER WE SHOULD ALLOW THE EVENTS OR NOT.

AND WHAT THE ANSWER IS TODAY, WILL BE DIFFERENT THAN TOMORROW. IT IS A DYNAMIC SITUATION.

[00:55:03]

I NOTE THAT CURRENTLY THERE IS NO ORDINANCE. THE CITY DOES HAVE A MASK ORDINANCE BUT IS NOT ENFORCEABLE BECAUSE THE GOVERNOR SAID THEY CAN'T ENFORCE IT BASICALLY.

THE GOVERNOR HAS MOVED TO STAGE THREE WHICH OPENS ALL ACTIVITIES IN THE STATE.

THE HOTELS AND VACATION RENTALS ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS. >> I THINK LOOKING AT IT, THESE ADDITIONAL EVENTS DON'T SIGNIFICANTLY, IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT RISK, DON'T INCREASE.

AND WE ARE DOING REASONABLY WELL. SO, MY OPINION, IS THAT, WE SHOULD PLANT THAT THESE EVENTS SHOULD BE ALLOWED. THE PLANNER SHOULD IMPLEMENT, AND CONTINUE SOCIAL DISTANCING AND WEARING FACE COVERINGS AND PROVIDE -- IF THE SITUATION CHANGES, WE WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT, TO STOP THE EVENTS INTO THE NIGHT.

SO THAT IS BASICALLY WHAT I CAME UP WITH. I AGREE WITH THAT ASSESSMENT.

WE HAVE 50 DEATHS WHICH IS REALLY DISCOURAGING. WHO KNOWS WHAT THE PRODUCTIVITY IS. WE MADE IT TO THE START OF SCHOOL.

ATHLETICS FOR THE KIDS. WE MADE IT THROUGH LABOR DAY. I THINK AS LONG AS PEOPLE MEET THE CDC REGULATIONS, AND WE MAINTAINED THE MASK ORDINANCE. AND THERE ARE NO COMMENTS OF MY KNOWLEDGE, THERE ARE NO SPECIAL EVENTS. I THINK WE HAVE TO WATCH THOSE.

>> COMMISSIONER LEDNOVICH. >> I WOULD AGREE WITH WHAT HAS BEEN SAID.

HAVING RECENTLY PARTICIPATED IN AN EVENT LAST SATURDAY, A PARADE.

IT WAS DOWNTOWN. I CANNOT BE A HYPOCRITE AND SAY I DID THAT BUT DON'T DO THIS.

BUT I WILL SAY MY MAJOR CONCERN. MY PRIMARY CONCERNS ARE NOT THE PARADES, BECAUSE WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO SPREAD OUT. IT IS THE CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTING, WHERE WE HAVE A LIMITED SPACE IN WHICH PEOPLE WILL PACK IN. SO, I AM NOT SAYING DON'T DO IT.

BUT WHAT I AM SAYING, IF YOU ARE AT RISK, DON'T GO. IF YOU ARE AND AT RISK INDIVIDUAL AND I AM ONE OF THOSE. DON'T ATTEND THESE EVENTS.

BECAUSE AS I SAID AT THE LAST MEETING. WE ARE NOW IN A TIME WHERE WE ARE IN CHARGE OF OUR OWN HEALTH. THAT IS WHERE WE ARE. AS COMMISSIONER ROSS POINTED OUT. THE BARS ARE OPEN. EVERYONE WAS TOGETHER.

WE ARE ALL RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR OWN HEALTH. I THINK IT IS INCOMPETENT ON THE CITY PRIOR TO THESE EVENTS TO MAKE THAT POINT. EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE OUTSIDE, WEARING FACE COVERING. SOCIAL DISTANCE AND OF COURSE WASH HER HANDS.

SO IF THE CITY CAN REINFORCE THAT MESSAGE PRIOR TO THESE EVENTS, I WOULD FEEL BETTER.

[01:00:03]

THANK YOU. >> I WANT TO ECHO THAT THIS WAS ALLOWING SOCIAL DISTANCING BEING ENCOURAGED TO COME UP WITH WAYS OF DOING THAT. AND I THINK YOU CAN HELP US WITH THAT AND ALSO, WITH WEARING FACE COVERINGS WHEN YOU ARE CLOSE. IF YOU SHOULDN'T BE THERE YOU SHOULD NOT BE THERE. I ALSO WANT TO ASK, I DON'T THINK THIS WILL GO AWAY ANYTIME SOON. IT WOULD NOT SURPRISE ME IF WE HAD THE SAME CONVERSATION.

IT WOULDN'T SURPRISE ME. HOPEFULLY NOT THIS IS ANOTHER SUBJECT.

WE HAVE $238,000. WE WERE GOING TO DISCUSS THIS AND LOOK AT IT.

I LOOK AT THE CONSIDERATION FOR THE NONPROFITS AND CAN WE GIVE THAT MONEY TO PEOPLE.

THE DISCUSSION I HAD, JUST TO TALK ABOUT THE MONEY ASKING FOR MORE DETAILS AND WHAT THEY USE THE MONEY FOR AND IF THERE WAS ADDITIONAL FUNDS AVAILABLE. SO THAT IS SET TO GO OUT THIS WEEK. THE COUNTY I HAVE DISCUSSIONS AND THEY ARE CONTINUING THE PROCESS OF PROCESSING THE CARES FUNDING AND WE SHOULD EXPECT TO HEAR FROM THEM.

>> THANK YOU. >> AND THERE WAS A GRANT THAT WE GOT AN E-MAIL ON.

WHAT WAS THE AMOUNT OF THAT FOR THE PPE CRACKS WAS A $40,000? >> THE ISSUE I HAVE IS, WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE COUNTRY. WE ARE SEEING MORE AND MORE STATES, THAT OPENED EVERYTHING UP AND NOW THEY HAVE TO CONTEMPLATE CLOSING THEM BACK DOWN.

IT IS NICE TO SIT HERE AND SAY WHERE A FACE COVERING. BUT ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS BASICALLY, GET AMONGST A GROUP OF PEOPLE AND SEE THEIR ARE A FAIR NUMBER OF PEOPLE DON'T DO THAT. I JUST HAVE MAJOR CONCERNS. WITH WHAT I SEE GOING ON, ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES WHERE THE STATES ARE RUNNING OUT OF EMERGENCY ROOM BEDS.

BERNADINO IS A LOVELY PLACE BUT WE ARE NOT UNKNOWN. AND TO ALLOW THINGS THAT WILL INCREASE THE I THINK IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE. I JUST, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE TALK ABOUT GETTING BACK TO NORMAL. IT'S LIKE AIR TRAFFIC. WAKE UP LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THERE IS NO MORE NORMAL LIKE WE REMEMBER. THINGS WILL BE DIFFERENT FOREVER. I THINK PEOPLE NEED TO STOP AND ACCEPT THAT ARTIFACT.

YOU GET MORE AND MORE PEOPLE SAYING, WHERE FACE COVERINGS SOCIAL DISTANCE.

WELL OBVIOUSLY WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBERS THAT IS NOT HAPPENING IT'S LIKE YOU CAN LEAD A HORSE TO HER MASK BUT YOU CAN'T MAKE HIM WEAR IT. I THINK IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE TO ALLOW THESE ORGANIZATIONS TO PUT A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN A CONFINED SPACE.

YES, IT IS OUTDOORS. BUT, LOOKING AT THE PAST, YOU COULD NOT SOCIAL DISTANCE.

YOU LOOK AT THE CHRISTMAS PARADE. THE PEOPLE ON THE SIDEWALKS.

YOU COULD NOT SOCIAL DISTANCE IF YOU WANTED TO SEE THE PARADE. I CANNOT SUPPORT THESE.

I THINK IF THERE ARE EVENTS THAT ARE SET UP, SO PEOPLE CAN SOCIAL DISTANCE, MY UNDERSTANDING IS, THE MAIN STREET HAS WORKED WITH THE CHIEF TO SET UP THEIR GOLF CART AND DRIVE-IN MOVIE THING.

THAT PART I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM. THEY WILL SOCIAL DISTANCE.

[01:05:06]

PRESENT OF THE CORONAVIRUS. >> I WOULD PROPOSE, AND I WHISPERED TO THE MANAGER.

WE PUT A RESOLUTION THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF VIEWS BEING EXPRESSED.

AND WE NEED TO BE MORE CLEAR. BECAUSE WE DON'T BUILD ANYTHING. >> I JUST HAVE QUESTION.

BECAUSE I SHARE YOUR CONCERNS. IS THERE A WAY TO LIMIT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE, AND THAT SHRIMP DROP AREA AND THE CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTING AREA. I THINK WE HAVE A 60 DAY REQUIREMENT FOR EVENTS. WHEN YOU START NAMING, YOU ARE DISCRIMINATING.

SO I THINK YOU EITHER DO IT OR DON'T DO IT. >> I WOULD ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO GET THEIR SPECIAL EVENT APPLICATIONS AND. ALL WE ARE TALKING ABOUT WITH THIS RESOLUTION, WE HAVE TO TAKE THIS ANY EVENT SPIRIT WE HAVE A MEETING EVERY TWO WEEKS.

THIS BID WOULD BE WE KNOW THERE ARE SOME HOLIDAY EVENTS IN DECEMBER.

WE KNOW VETERANS DAY IS COMING. I WOULD PROPOSE ANYONE THAT WANTS TO FILE A SPECIAL EVENT APPLICATION THEY SHOULD. BECAUSE THAT IS ALL WE WOULD COVER IS THROUGH DECEMBER 31.

JANUARY 1, A DIFFERENT THING. THERE HAS TO BE OTHER PRECAUTIONS OR RESTRICTIONS ON THE EVENT. THEY'RE NOT EXPERTS THEY HAVE FENCING AND BARRICADES I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A LIST BECAUSE EACH EVENT WILL HAVE SERVICE -- SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES.

I DO HAVE TO SAY I FIND IT DISTURBING THAT THIS IS BEFORE US NOW.

AND NEW EVENTS HAVE BACKED US AGAINST THE WALL AND NOW WE ARE LIKE WHAT WILL WE DO.

WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING THIS MONTHS AGO. WE SHOULD HAVE FOLLOWED UP ON THIS WENT THE SPORTS TEAMS WANTED TO OPEN UP. I AM A LITTLE DISTURBED, THAT NOW WE ARE TRYING TO GET GUIDANCE IN THE FINAL HOUR. WE HAD E-MAILS WE DO NEED

[01:10:35]

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS, THESE EVENTS WILL HAPPEN. I HAVE NO DOUBT THEY WILL HAPPEN. JUST LIKE THE EVENT LAST SATURDAY WAS NOT A PERMANENT EVENT. THEY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY BUT THEY OPTED NOT TO DO IT.

SO THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM OF DO YOU EXPECT ME TOO HAVE THE POLICE BRING DOWN THE PADDY WAGON AND START ROUNDING PEOPLE APPEARED THE POLICE DID THEIR JOB AND THEY MADE SURE THE EVENT HAPPEN. WE DO NEED GUIDANCE SO WE CAN RESPOND TO THE E-MAILS WE RECEIVED THAT SAINT DON'T LET THEM HAPPEN. AND I HAVE RIGHT TO CHANGE IT IF THE PANDEMIC CONDITIONS CHANGE. THAT IS WHAT'S IN THE HANDS OF THE VETERANS RIGHT NOW.

I THINK THERE'S A WAY TO ENCOURAGE ALL OF IT. I THINK THERE ARE THINGS THAT CAN BE DONE. TOO THAT POINT WE REMEMBER WHEN NEW YORK CITY WAS SHUT DOWN.

THEN THEY REOPENED THE CITY. THEY DIDN'T JUST SAY CENTRAL PARK, WHAT DID THEY DO, THEY MEASURED 6 FEET IF YOU'RE IN CENTRAL PARK PICK YOUR CIRCLE. AND MAINTAINING THAT DISTANCE.

LOOK AT OUR ROOM RIGHT HERE PICK 6 FEET APART. WHY CAN'T WE DO THE SAME THING FOR SHRIMP DROP. CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTING, AND IF YOU WILL LIMIT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE, YOU WILL CONTROL SEPARATION. YOU WILL CONTROL THE POSSIBLE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS. WE HAVE A BUNCH OF SMART PEOPLE. WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIGURE THIS

OUT. >> TAKING THE CITY MANAGER'S OWN WORDS.

HOW WILL WE ENFORCE SOCIAL DISTANCING. HE JUST SAID, WHAT WILL WE DO IF THE VETERANS ASSIGNED TO MARGE. WHAT WILL WE DO PEOPLE SAY, I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE CIRCLES.

SO, AGAIN,. >> I HAVE TO SAY. YOU TALKED ABOUT THE FOOTBALL GAME. IS THAT A YOUTH ACTIVITY THAT YOU SAW? WHEN WE DID THE APPROVAL ON THE YOUTH ACTIVITY AND THEY HAD A PLAN DID HE GET APPROVED BY PARKS AND RECREATION? THAT WE WOULD MAKE SURE THEY WERE ENFORCING THEIR PLAN OR

WOULD BE CANCELED. HOW DID IT WORK OUT? >> I KNOW PARK SENT RECORDS DOING SPOT CHECKING ON THE FENCE. BUT THERE ARE PLENTY GOING ON

AND THEY CAN'T BE EVERYWHERE. >> THAT'S MY QUESTION. THAT IS THE PRECURSOR TO THIS.

CAN THEY COME UP WITH A WAY TO DO THIS. CAN THEY FIGURE OUT A WAY TO DO THESE EVENTS AND HAVE THEM COME TO US WITH THE PLANT. HOW WILL THEY ENFORCE THAT.

[01:15:06]

IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE LEADING TO. >> WE HAD A RECENT EVENT. FOUR OR FIVE OF YOU ATTENDED.

THE CHAIRS WERE SPREAD OUT AND THEN THEY WERE MOVED. AND WE DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT IT. AND WE WERE THERE. SO YES, IT COMES DOWN TO PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. AS COMMISSIONER LEDNOVICH SAID, IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE GOING TO A VETERANS DAY PARADE, DO NOT GO. DON'T GO TO SHRIMP DROP.

BUT THERE IS NO PRACTICAL WAY, FROM AN ENFORCEMENT STANDARD, THAT WE WILL HAVE, 40 POLICE OFFICERS TELLING PEOPLE. YOU ARE TOO CLOSE. YOU ARE TOO CLOSE.

WHEN I HAD THE TALK, WITH THE LEADERS, THEY PLANNED ON HAVING A DJ.

THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE A DJ WHO WOULD REMIND PEOPLE, HE WOULD PLAY MUSIC AND SAINT YOU HAVE TO SOCIAL DISTANCE AND WHERE YOUR MASK. WE ARE AT THE POINT WHERE THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE TO RELY ON. UNLESS YOU REALLY WANT TO HAVE DOZENS OF POLICE OFFICERS, -- HOW DO YOU KNOW IF IT IS A FAMILY. WE COULD BE LOST BROTHERS.

WE ARE NOT. BUT, YOU WILL HAVE POLICE TRYING TO SEPARATE PEOPLE THAT THEY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT. WHAT IF WE SAY WE ARE FAMILY. IT IS PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.

AND I THINK THAT IS WHERE WE ARE WITH THIS. I THINK YOU AS REPRESENTATIVES HAVE TO DECIDE, WE HAD A LONG TALK ABOUT THIS. AREN'T THESE OFFICIALLY SANCTIONED EVENTS. DOES THE CITY WANT TO SANCTION THESE EVENTS.

IF YOU DON'T, WE CAN DO IT. BUT DON'T EXPECT ME TOO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THE JEEP ABOUT RESTING OR FINDING PEOPLE THAT ARE PARTICIPATING IN AN ACTIVE EVENT.

IT WON'T HAPPEN. >> DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY?

>> YES, JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS. THEY HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH THE CITY AND THE COUNTY SINCE DAY ONE. WE MADE AVAILABLE THE KIDS. THEY HAD SEPARATION AND PROTOCOL STICKERS. HAND SANITIZERS SPIRIT AND ALSO THEY HAD SIX OR EIGHT OF THE LARGE SANITATION STATIONS. I SPOKE TO THEM AND I SAID THERE ARE WAYS TO ENFORCE SOCIAL SEPARATION WITH THE SHRIMP DROP. I CAN TELL YOU THAT WE STRUGGLE WITH THE EVENTS THAT WE ARE SPONSORING THIS YEAR. A LOT OF THINGS HAVE BEEN CANCELED.

THE SHRIMP FESTIVAL. THAT WAS CANCELED. THE GAME WAS LIMITED.

THE JAZZ FESTIVAL, IS NOW VIRTUAL. THE DICKENS FESTIVAL IS A SIGNIFICANT EVENT. WE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT A WAY TO MAKE IT SO PEOPLE COULD SOCIALLY SEPARATE. WE DID HAVE IDEAS, I WORKED ON EVENTS AND SUBMITTED APPLICATIONS. WE WOULD SUGGEST THAT IF ANY APPLICATION IS TO BE CONSIDERED.

THEY PRESENT THEIR PLAN FOR SOCIAL SEPARATION. WHEN WE GO THROUGH DICKENS AND WE GET OUR PERMIT WE MEET WITH THE CHIEF AND THE MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT.

I THINK THE SAME CRITERIA WILL BE WORTHWHILE. I AGREE WITH MR. CHAPMAN THAT WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE COUNTRY IS A RED FLAG THAT WE HAVE TO BE AWARE OF.

OUR PERFORMANCE HAS BEEN BETTER THAN MOST COUNTIES IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

PEOPLE PERCEIVE THAT WE ARE A SAFE DESTINATION. IF WE HAVE A SPIKE THAT WILL PUT ARBOR RECOVERY EFFORTS BACK THAT MUCH FURTHER. I WILL TELL YOU, JUST TO REINFORCE THE NUMBERS OF TOURISM. WE JUST GOT OUR NUMBERS.

WE GENERATED ALMOST $900 MILLION IN ECONOMIC IMPACT IN NASSAU COUNTY WITH OVER TOURISM.

[01:20:08]

WE CAN TELL YOU THOSE NUMBERS WILL BE LESS 42020. IN MOVING FORWARD, THERE'S SO MUCH UNCERTAINTY, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE DON'T KNOW. THE FOLKS THAT ARE GOOD AT MAKING THEIR PREDICTIONS AND DOING PROJECTIONS ARE MAKING DIFFICULT CONDITIONS -- TRACK DECISIONS. ONE COUNTY HAS CANCEL THEIR CELEBRATIONS BUT THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO SOCIALLY SEPARATE THEIR GAS. SO THEY CANCELED IT.

THERE'S NO RIGHT OR WRONG DECISION YOU JUST YOU CAN CONSULT WITH THE CITY MANAGER, CITY ATTORNEY AND TRY TO WORK OUT WAYS WE CAN PRESENT TO YOU WAYS THAT ARE ACCEPTABLE TO ASK

THEM TO DO THE RIGHT THING. >> WE MIGHT WANT TO NEGATE THE WATERFRONT LIKE THEY DO FOR THE FRONT AND CHECK PEOPLE TO SEE IF THEY HAVE A TEMPERATURE. WE CAN ISSUE RESERVATIONS BEFORE THEY COME DOWN AND LIMIT THE NUMBER OF TICKETS. SO THERE ARE WAYS TO DO THIS IF WE GO FORWARD. WE CAN HELP OUT. AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO DO SO.

>> AND CAN YOU BE CLEAR. CAN I GET YOUR NAME ADDRESS. >> I AM PRESIDENT OF THE

COMMISSIONERS BUREAU. >> THANK YOU SIR. >> YES, MY CONCERN AGAIN, WHEN I SPOKE TO THE EVENT COORDINATORS, THE CONCERN WAS THERE WOULD BE A DRAW FOR PEOPLE TO COME IN THE AREA. THEY DID NOT WANT TO BE A MAGNET.

BUT THAT WAS THEIR DECISION. THEY DECIDED TO DO THAT ON THEIR OWN.

WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW THE RESOLUTIONS ON THE TABLE. >> I WILL BRING THIS BACK.

>> DID WE DECIDE ABOUT THE EVENTS? DID YOU -- I WILL NAME THE EVENTS WE HAVE APPLICATIONS FOR. THEY ARE LATE ANYWAY. THEY WOULD NOT BE UNTIL NEXT YEAR. WE WILL HAVE EVERYTHING BEFORE THEN.

>> THANK YOU THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT. WE ARE GOOD ON THAT.

>> LET'S GO AHEAD, L

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

>> OKAY WE ARE BACK IN SESSION. WE ARE ON ITEM NUMBER SIX, PUBLIC COMMENT.

>> WE ARE BACK IN SESSION. THIS IS PUBLIC COMMENT REGARDING ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA OR ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. WE HAVE ONE PERSON WANTING TO SPEAK.

THANK YOU. I'M MARGARET KIRKLAND. >> I AM WITH THE GROUP THAT WAS ORGANIZED WITH THE COMP PLAN LPC WORKING GROUP. WE ARE PLANNING TO PROVIDE INPUT ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE. WE HAVE TALKED WITH KELLY AND AFTER WE DO THAT, THE CITY WILL DO THE SAME THING WITH THE COUNTY.

I WORK PURPOSE IS TO ADVANCE A CONCERN FOR RESILIENCY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY.

THE OTHER THING IS TO MOVE FORWARD, WITH THE TERMS EXPRESSED BY CITIZENS IN 2019 WITH THE E LETTER RA PROCESS. THAT IS OUR PURPOSE. IF WE LOOK BACK AT THE PRE-COVID

[01:25:10]

I THINK WE KNOW ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY IS IMPORTANT. WE HAVE TO BUILD ON THE STEPS THAT WE TOOK IN THE LAST PLAN AND MOVE THAT FORWARD, SO THAT WE WILL BE IN A BETTER SITUATION WITH THAT. IF WE DON'T HAVE ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY WE WON'T HAVE SOCIAL OR ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY. WE THINK IT IS IMPORTANT.

IN TERMS OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH A SHIFT IN THE LAST FEW YEARS IN TERMS OF ECONOMIC IN HOW THE ECONOMY WORKS. WE NEED TO LOOK AT THOSE VARIABLES, AND WE NEED TO BE SURE WE MAINTAINED THE CHARACTER OF THE CITY BECAUSE THAT DRIVES A LOT OF OUR ECONOMY. WITHIN THAT FRAMEWORK, WE HAVE SOME ISSUES WE NEED TO WORK ON, AS EVERYONE HAS ALREADY POINTED OUT. TRANSPORTATION.

HOUSING. AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT. ALL OF THESE WILL REQUIRE THAT WE HAVE MORE EFFORTS AND COLLABORATION WITH OTHER GOVERNMENTAL UNITS AND STATE AGENCIES AND THE FEDERAL AGENCIES. AND WE ALSO NEED TO BE SURE THAT IN THIS PROCESS, WE HAVE REPRESENTATION FROM ALL SEGMENTS OF THE COMMUNITY.

THAT EVERYONE HAS A VOICE IN THE FUTURE OF THE CITY AND THE FUTURE OF THE COUNTY AND SO ON.

SO WE JUST WANTED TO GIVE AN UPDATE. WE PLAN TO HAVE, A DRAFT FOR ALL PARTS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN EXCEPT THE PORT IN THE SCHOOL FACILITY.

WE WILL HAVE THAT BY MID-NOVEMBER. SO WE HAVE BEEN WORKING HARD AND WE HAVE GOTTEN A LOT OF EXPERT OPINION. WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THE CITY STAFF AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU GUYS.

THANK YOU. >> ON TO SECTION SEVEN. RESOLUTIONS.

[7.1 AWARD OF RFQ #2020-02 - WGI, KIMLEY-HORN, EPD AND DESIGN WORKSHOP]

DOES ANYONE ELSE WANT TO SPEAK? >> ITEM 7.1. THIS IS AWARD OF RFQ.

WITH DESIGN WORKSHOP. CHANGE CITY STAFF PREPARED A RFQ AND WE RECEIVED 12 RESPONSES AND EVALUATION COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED FOR BY THE ADVISORY BOARD WHICH MEANT, AND RANKED THE FOUR IN THE ORDER PRESENTED TO YOU. WGI, KIMBERLY-HORN, AND DESIGN. AND BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING IS A REQUEST FOR THE CITY ATTORNEY MYSELF, WORKING WITH STAFF TO DEVELOP A SCOPE, AND A CONTRACT

WITH THE CONSULTANTS IN ORDER BEGINNING WITH WGI. >> THANK YOU.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS ANY -- CITY IS SPENDING MONEY WISE AND STAFF IS USING TIME PRUDENT AND

EFFICIENTLY. >> BEFORE WE GET TOO FAR, I NEED A MOTION AND A SECOND FOR

APPROVAL. >> I RECOMMEND AND APPROVAL. >> I SECOND PERIOD.

>> BEFORE WE GO, THERE ARE THREE ISSUES THAT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT.

THE FIRST IS BEFORE WE SPENT TIME, AND APPROVED SOMEONE, I WOULD LIKE A REPRESENTATIVE TO

CALL REFERENCES AND MORE APPROPRIATELY, THE LAST CLIENTS. >> ONE OF THE REASONS I BRING THAT UP IS I CALLED ONE OF THE REFERENCES THAT THE CONSULTANTS RECOMMENDED.

THIS WAS THEIR RECOMMENDATION. I CAN TELL YOU THEY WERE NOT ENTHUSIASTIC.

[01:30:10]

I WANT TO KNOW WHY WE ARE HIRING THEM MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS WHEN I READ IT SAID THE CONSULT WAS BASING IT ON THE 2020 VISION PLAN. IT WAS A REVISED PACKAGE BACK IN DECEMBER 2005 WHICH WAS 15 YEARS AGO. IS THAT VISION PLAN STILL WHAT WE ARE BASING OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ON OR IS IT SOMETHING ELSE. THAT IS NOT WHAT I THINK THE CITY WANTS TO DO. I HAVE A MOTION IN A SECOND ITEM SEVEN-POINT TO.

>> DID YOU ADD SOMETHING TO THIS? >> JULIE WILL TALK IN HER

MICROPHONE. >> I DO WANT TO SPEAK BEFORE WE GO THROUGH THIS.

>>MY NAME IS JULIE F. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TOO SPEAK TONIGHT.

I WILL DO A LITTLE ASIDE FROM THE PACKET COMMITTEE. IT IS IN RESPONSE TO SOMETHING I

[01:35:04]

WE NEED TO PROTECT THOSE BECAUSE THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO DEVELOP THOSE.

I THINK, WE NEED TO HAVE OUR ANTENNA UP. SO GETTING ONTO THE PEG STATION.

SO JUDY AND I HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING THE PEG COMMITTEE SINCE THE LAST SEPTEMBER MEETING. SHE AND I WERE GOING TO MEET EARLY IN THE SPRING BUT THEN COVID HAPPENED AND I WAS ILL FOR TWO MONTHS. OUR MEETING DID NOT HAPPEN.

I HAVE SPOKEN TO TAMMY AND DISCOVERED THAT ANY MATERIAL WE PRODUCE, HAS TO BE CLOSED-CAPTIONED. SO THAT THROUGH A MONKEYWRENCH INTO OUR THINKING.

THAT MEANS WE HAVE TO RAISE MONEY TO PRODUCE MATERIALS. >> SO, I HAVE FOUND OTHER MEMBERS, WHO WOULD LIKE TO BE ON THE PEG COMMITTEE. THERE'S JUDY, THERE'S ME, THERE IS CONNOR, AND TAYLOR WHOM I BROUGHT WITH ME TONIGHT. AND A PUBLIC STATION.

BUT I WILL LET HIM SPEAK FOR HIMSELF. WE DO HAVE SOMETHING WITH RODNEY. IT WAS A RACIAL INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED IN JACKSONVILLE BACK IN 1960. WE HAVE A CLOSED-CAPTIONED AND IT WILL BE ON THE STATION IN A WEEK. SO THE CHANNEL IS UNDERUTILIZED BUT IT CAN BE SUCH A COMMUNITY ASSET. SO I ASK YOU TO NOT SUNSET IT. TONIGHT THERE HAS BEEN SOME HICCUPS ALONG THE WAY BUT WE ARE ON OUR WAY. I SUGGEST WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN IS THAT MY COMMITTEE GET TOGETHER WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY OR THE CITY ATTORNEY'S REPRESENTATIVE AND WE GO OVER THE RULES AND REGULATIONS AND THE BYLAWS SO THAT EVERYONE IS

ON THE SAME PLACE. >> CAN TAYLOR COME UP AND SPEAK? AND TREASURER 3 MINUTES.

>> CAN TAYLOR COME TO SPEAK? >> CAN WE DO THAT IN A MINUTE. >> IF HE WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST

TO SPEAK, THAT IS FINE. >> YOU CAN SPEAK. >> YOU CAN COME UP AND SPEAK NOW. THAT IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE HEARD YOU WANTED TO SPEAK.

>> WELL, THANK YOU. >> SIR I NEED YOUR NAME. >> OKAY.

MY NAME IS TAYLOR. I LIVE AT 15 VILLAGE WAY. FERNANDINA BEACH, FLORIDA.

I AM HERE ON BEHALF OF THE PEG STATION. VERY BRIEFLY I WOULD NOW LIKE TO TAKE THE COMMISSION'S TIME AND SHOULD I ADDRESS U.S. COMMISSIONER MAYOR?

>> WHICHEVER IS FINE. >> MAYOR MILLER. YES, I AM HERE SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF OF THE PUBLIC EDUCATION GOVERNMENT CHANNEL. I BELIEVE THAT, THIS OPPORTUNITY PROVIDES A RESOURCE NOT ONLY FOR THE COMMUNITY BUT THAT YOUTH. AS A YOUNG BOY GROWING UP, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN LOCAL MEDIA. THAT FOSTERED MY PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR MY CARE COMMUNITY. IT LED TO WHAT I CONSIDER A SUCCESSFUL CAREER. I HAVE SINCE GONE ON TO PRODUCE CONTENT SEEN AROUND THE WORLD FROM THE CANNES FILM FESTIVAL TO THE FILM MARKET TO NETWORK TELEVISION, CNN, HBO AND THE

[01:40:06]

THIS IS WHERE WE CAN FOSTER THEIR STORYTELLING ABILITIES THAT COULD LEAD TO ENHANCED TOOLS AND SKILLS FOR OTHER ASPECTS OF DEVELOPMENT. AND THEIR POTENTIAL CAREERS.

BEYOND THAT, I BELIEVE THE CHANNEL PROVIDES ACCESS AND A RESOURCE FOR KNOWLEDGE, FROM THIS LOCAL COMMUNITY. IT REALLY INTEGRATES WHAT IS GOING ON AND INFORMS THE POPULACE. IT ALSO PROVIDES A TASTE OF WHAT FERNANDINA BEACH IS ALL ABOUT.

SO IN ADDITION TO JULIE'S GREAT POINTS, I AM STANDING HERE ON BEHALF OF THE COMMITTEE TO ADVOCATE THAT WE CAN HAVE MORE TIME, AS A NEW MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE I HAVE COMMITTED TO YOU PRO BONO PROVIDING MY RESOURCES TO HELP ORGANIZE AND DEVELOP THIS ALONGSIDE MY MEMBERS AND SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TOGETHER. I BELIEVE IN IT.

I BELIEVE THE YOUTH CAN BENEFIT AND THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE CAN BENEFIT FROM HAVING THE PUBLIC EDUCATION GOVERNMENT CHANNEL STILL AVAILABLE. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, SIR. JAMES CITY ATTORNEY, CAN YOU SHOW US HOW WE GOT TO THE POINT

WHERE WE ARE NOW. >> THE CITY CLERK HAS TO HELP ME BECAUSE, I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT IT WASN'T JUST PEG, THERE WERE A FEW COMMITTEES THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT.

I THINK WE JUST PUT IT OFF. I KNOW YOU SPOKE AT THE LAST MEETING.

>> A YEAR. SO SHE MADE SOME HEADWAY. BUT THE CLOSED CAPTIONING IS A REQUIREMENT. THE PEG COMMITTEE, THEIR ROLE HAS BEEN TO REVIEW CONTENT BASED UPON OUR WORK RULES FOR CONTENT ON THE CHANNEL. AND I DO NOT REMEMBER THE LAST TIME THE PEG COMMITTEE DID THAT. IT HAS BEEN SEVERAL YEARS. AT TIMES THEY DID HAVE TROUBLE GETTING A QUORUM. BUT I DON'T RECALL STOP SUPPORTING THE BOARD.

>> WHO TAKES THE MINUTES? >> I DON'T KNOW. >> SO, THIS WOULD BE IF YOU DID NOT SUNSET THE PEG COMMITTEE. IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS A WILL FOR SOME MEMBERS TO PAY FOR CLOSED CAPTIONING. THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT RIGHT NOW REVIEWS CONTENT.

I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT. SO I GUESS IT IS UP TO YOU.

DO YOU WANT A GROUP OF CITIZENS AS A COMMITTEE TO REVIEW CONTENT.

THAT IS ASSUMING, WHAT WE HAVE NOW, WE HAVE FIVE MEMBERS ON THE PEG COMMITTEE.

>> YES. >> IT IS IN YOUR HANDS. RIGHT NOW THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT SAID THE LAST TIME WE REVIEWED COMMENT CEMENTED WAS SIX MONTHS AGO.

>> SO THE POINT IS TO REVIEW CONTENT. JUST BECAUSE WE SUNSET IT

DOESN'T MEAN IT HASN'T BEEN USED. >> AND JULIE CAN COME TO MY

OFFICE AT ANY TIME. AND SHE DOES. >> VICE MAYOR.

>> IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE WE HAVE CITIZENS INTERESTED IN MAKING IT WORK.

I THINK WE CAN GIVE THEM THAT OPPORTUNITY. JULIE SHOULD NOT OF GOTTEN SICK.

I WON'T VOTE TO SUNSET IT IF WE HAVE CITIZENS WHO WANT TO DO IT. IT IS AN ASSET THAT WE SHOULD HAVE BENEFITS WITH. I WOULD EXPAND WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

>> I WILL SAY HISTORICALLY I DON'T REMEMBER THE MEMBERS BUT IF TAYLOR GETS INVOLVED, IT WOULD MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE TO THE BOARD WHAT IS YOUR PLAN. WHAT ARE THE MILESTONES YOU HAVE

[01:45:03]

>> SO YOU ARE ASKING FOR A TABLE FOR 30 DAYS? >> DO HAVE A MOTION?

>> IF YOU WANT TO BRING IT BACK IN 30 DAYS WE CAN. SO DO YOU WANT TO PUT IT OFF FOR

30 DAYS? >> SO I AM IN THE SAME BALLPARK. THE ONLY TIME YOU HEAR ABOUT CONTENT COMING AVAILABLE. THIS IS OVER THE LAST SEVEN YEARS.

IT HAS GOTTEN BETTER NOW. AND I THINK, SHE'S DONE A GREAT JOB OF PUTTING CONTENT UP THERE WITH THE CITY. BUT THE ONLY TIME I HEAR ABOUT THE COMMITTEE IS WHEN IT COMES UP FOR SUNSET THEN WE HEAR ABOUT THE COMMITTEE AGAIN. SO I AGREE WITH YOU.

I WILL VOTE, THIS ONE DOWN. AND HAVING COMMITTEES OUT THERE THAT ARE NOT PRODUCING ANYTHING

IS NOT FEASIBLE. >> ANYONE ELSE? >> OKAY.

MADAME CLERK? >> IN THIRD SET OF 30 DAYS CAN YOU CONSIDER 60 DAYS?

>> I WOULD CONSIDER IT 60 DAYS. BUT THAT WOULD THROW IT INTO JANUARY.

THAT IS 2021. WHAT YOU MAY TIE INTO IS DECEMBER 31 ONLY BECAUSE, ACCORDING TO OUR RULES, BOARD MEMBER SEATS EXPIRE ON DECEMBER 31.

SO IF YOU SUNSET IT. THERE IS NO BOARD APPOINTMENT PIXEL THEY BE IF TIE IT TO

DECEMBER 31. >> AND TO BE CLEAR THIS IS A BOAT TO SUNSET THE CHANNEL.

THE COMMITTEE, NOT THE CHANNEL. >> COMMISSIONER CHAPMAN. >> NO.

>> COMMISSIONER LEDNOVICH. >> NOTE. >> COMMISSIONER ROSS.

>> NO. >> SO I MOVE THAT WE GIVE THE PEG COMMITTEE UNTIL DECEMBER 31 TO SUBMIT A BUSINESS PLAN FOR 2021. THAT INCLUDES ITS MEMBERS, THE BUDGET, PROGRAMMING. AND GOALS. TO THIS COMMISSION.

RIGHT NOW IT IS AMENDING RESOLUTION 200567. AND ANOTHER RESOLUTION DEALING WITH PARKS AND REC. AND THAT THAT BE THE CHANGE TO THE TITLE AND ALL THIS DOES IS REMOVE AD HOC FROM THE TYPE OF COMMITTEE IT IS. AND IN THAT RESOLUTION FROM

2005. >> I SECOND PERIOD. >> I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND

PERIOD. >> JUST FOR CLARIFICATION. WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?

>> WILL PARKS AND REX COMMITTEE ASKED HIM WHAT THEY FELT THAT IF YOU GOOGLE AD HOC COMMITTEE IT SAYS IT IS A COMMITTEE FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE FOR A DEFINED AMOUNT OF TIME.

I THINK THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE WAS NOT AT THE MEETING. BUT, THEY DID NOT APPRECIATE THAT. THEY FELT LIKE THEY WERE A STANDING COMMITTEE THAT HAD A

ROLE. >> >> COMMISSIONER ROSS?

>> ITEM 7.7. A DRUG-FREE WORKPLACE AND POLICY UPDATES.

[7.7 DRUG-FREE WORKPLACE POLICY UPDATE]

>> THIS IS A POLICY UPDATE ONLY. WE ALREADY HAVE A DRUG-FREE WORKPLACE POLICY.

ALL EMPLOYEES WHEN IT CHANGES HAVE TO SIGN AN UPDATE AND RECOGNIZE THE RHETORIC.

WHAT THIS PARTICULAR UPDATE DOES IS FEDERAL LAW CHANGED EFFECTIVE JANUARY 6, 2020.

[01:50:05]

THERE IS A CLEARINGHOUSE, NATIONWIDE THAT EMPLOYERS MUST CHECK RANDOMLY AND CHECK WHEN THEY OFFER A NEW APPOINTMENT. AND WHAT THAT DOES, IT TRACKS REFUSALS TO TAKE DRUG TEST AND FAILURE OF DRUG TEST. SO SOMEONE COMES FROM WASHINGTON STATE FOR A DRIVE -- JOB, WE ARE REQUIRED TO LOOK THROUGH AND THE EMPLOYEE SIGNS THAT THEY UNDERSTAND WE WILL CHECK AND THAT IS WHERE WE WILL FIND ANY REFUSALS TO TEST OR FIELD DRUG TEST.

THAT IS WHAT THIS UPDATE DOES. >> COMMISSIONER ROSS? >> I MOVED TO APPROVE.

>> SECOND PERTAINED SO, SO WITH TESTING FOR TEN YEARS. MARIJUANA HANGS AROUND FOR 20 DAYS. SO, HOW DOES THAT WORK INTO THIS WITH EMPLOYEES WHO ARE ON

MEDICAL MARIJUANA. >> I HAVE TO EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW, FIRST OF ALL IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA, PUBLIC SECTOR EMPLOYEES. THE CASE IN FLORIDA WHERE IT WAS MITIGATED AT THE STATE LEVEL. YOU CANNOT DRUG EMPLOYEES WHO ARE NOT SAFETY SENSITIVE.

IT HAS A DEFINITION UNDER CHAPTER 440 WHICH IS THE WORKER'S COMP. LAW.

THAT IS WHAT THIS IS ABOUT. DRUG RAID SO YOU CAN KEEP INSURANCE LOW AND MINIMIZE THE RISK FOR INSURANCE. WE HAVE HAD A DRUG TESTING PROGRAM WE FOLLOW THE LAW.

WE CAN ONLY DRUG TEST CERTAIN EMPLOYEES BUT JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA, SAFETY SENSITIVE OUR POLICE, FIRE ANYONE WHO OPERATES HEAVY EQUIPMENT OR CITY VEHICLE. AS PART OF THEIR JOB WE DO HAVE NON- SAFETY EMPLOYEES WHO DRIVE CITY VEHICLES. BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN IT'S PART OF THEIR JOB. SO FOR EXAMPLE, A PART-TIME EMPLOYEE IN THE IT IS CONSIDERED SAFETY SENSITIVE. WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THESE DEFINITIONS TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE RELEVANT. BUT IF WE CAPTURE ANYONE DRIVING THE VEHICLES DOWNTOWN, OTHER THAN THAT YOUR AVERAGE OFFICE WORKER IS NOT TESTED ON A RANDOM BASIS IF YOU TAKE MEDICAL MARIJUANA AND SOMEONE THINKS YOU ARE UNDER THE INFLUENCE, YOU WILL GET TESTED AND IT COMES UP MEDICAL MARIJUANA BUT YOU ARE DRUNK, YOU WILL BE IN TROUBLE FOR MEDICAL MARIJUANA.

HAVING A LICENSE TO A STATE AND DOCTOR DOES NOT MEAN, AND IT STAYS IN YOUR SYSTEM FOR 20-30 DAYS. IF YOU TAKE IT AND DON'T TAKE IT FOR WEEKS YOU CAN STILL TEST POSITIVE AND YOU WILL BE DISCIPLINED BY THE CITY IF YOU COME UP POSITIVE.

IT IS CONSIDERED AN ILLICIT DRUG. WE WILL BE TRAINING IMPROVED EMPLOYEES AND WE WILL SEND THIS OUT AND SINCE WE HAVE A NEW HR DIRECTOR, JUST RECENTLY, I WILL WORK WITH HER TO MAKE SURE WE GET THE INFORMATION OUT ABOUT MEDICAL MARIJUANA.

>> THANK YOU, VERY MUCH. >> I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE UNDERSTOOD.

>> THAT'S ALL RIGHT. >> AND MADAME CLERK, WILL YOU CALL THE ROLE.

ROYAL AIR FREIGHT INCORPORATED. >> THIS IS A CHARTER CHECK COMPANY, THEY DON'T APPLY HERE VERY OFTEN BUT UNFORTUNATELY THEY DID ONE YEAR AGO AND SPILLED JET FUEL ON THE PAVEMENT AND THE ASPHALT. WHEN YOU DON'T CLEAN UP FUEL IT EATS THROUGH THE ASPHALT AND DESTROYS IT. I DID WRITE LETTERS, AND THEY WERE IGNORED.

WE DON'T HAVE A CHOICE. WE WILL BE FIXING THAT BEFORE WE GET THROUGH TO THE JUDGE BECAUSE WE HAVE TO FIX IT AND MITIGATE OUR DAMAGES. IT HAS BEEN DUG OUT NOW.

[7.12 LITIGATION AUTHORIZATION - FORECLOSURE AT 610 VERNON STREET]

LITIGATION AUTHORIZATION FOR FORECLOSURE AT 16 VERNON STREET. >> WHEN I SEE THIS WE DON'T MAKE A HABIT OF FORECLOSING ON CITIZENS PROPERTY. THIS WAS A CITIZEN WHO PASSED AWAY. AND THE CITY HAD A FEDERAL GRANT FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT. IT COMES FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

CAPACITY THROUGH THE STATE. IT COMES TO LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. $700,000, SIX YEARS AGO CAME TO THE CITY TO BE THE STEWARD UNDER A HOUSING PROGRAM FOR LOWER INCOME RESIDENTS.

WE HELPED A LOT OF HOMEOWNERS THAT DID NOT HAVE THE FUNDS. EITHER THE ROOTS WERE CAVING IN OR THE PORCHES WERE DILAPIDATED. IN THIS CASE THE PROPERTY OWNER GOT AN ENTIRE NEW HOUSE BUILT FOR THEM AT THE COST OF $87,000. PART OF THE GRANT PROGRAM, WHEN WE SIGNED ON, WE AGREED WE WOULD HOLD A TEN YEAR MORTGAGE. THEY HAD TO LIVE IN THE HOUSE FOR TEN YEARS AND THEY COULD NOT SELL IT. YOU COULDN'T DEVISE IT. THERE IS AN EXCEPTION, IF THEY HAVE ANY HEIRS AFTER THEY PASS THAT COLD QUALIFY UNDER THE SAME GUIDELINES OR STANDARDS, INCOME BEING LOWER INCOME. THEY COULD LIVE IN THE HOUSE AND WE COULD TRANSFER THE MORTGAGE.

THIS PERSON DID NOT HAVE ANY HEIRS THAT WE KNOW OF. SO WE DID KNOW OF ANYONE AND I'VE DID A LOT OF WORK AND SPOKEN TO A SISTER IN DETROIT. SO I'M GETTING HELP ON THIS.

WE MAY HAVE TO DO A PROBATE. BUT WE HAVE TO DO IT OR THE CITY HAS TO PAY THE $37,000 BACK.

>> IT'S $37,000 NOW BECAUSE THEY PRORATED WHAT THEY ARE DUE BUT. >> WEAPONS OF THE PROPERTY?

>> IF WE GET THROUGH WITH THE FORECLOSURE AND IF THERE ARE LIENS THERE WILL BE SMALL.

THE PROPERTY WILL GO TO A FORECLOSURE SALE. AND YOU ALL GET TO DECIDE IF YOU BID ON IT. IF SOMEONE ELSE BEATS YOU GET THE MONEY.

>> OF THE CITY. >> IS THERE ANY WAY THE CITY COULD USE THIS FOR A HUD?

[02:00:14]

>> I WAS GOING TO SAY I HOPE WE WOULD. IT IS A HOUSE THAT IS

6-YEARS-OLD. YOU CAN'T GET BETTER THAN THAT. >> BUT THE PROCESS WOULD TAKE

MONTHS IF NOT YEARS. >> WILL TAKE A YEAR. >> BUT THAT'S GREAT.

>> IT WILL TAKE A YEAR. I TOLD THEM TO CUT THE GRASS. IT IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR US

TO PROVIDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING. >> I THINK THAT SHOULD BE THE PLAN.

WE KEEP IT AND WE ESTABLISH IT. THE HOUSE SHOULD GO TO SOMEONE WHO MEETS THE 50%.

>> I HAVE ALL KINDS OF IDEAS. WE HAVE HOUSING AUTHORITY APPLICANTS.

WE HAVE HABITAT FOR MANY. >> AFFORDABLE HOUSING BASED ON INCOME NOT 80%.

>> THAT IS YOUR POLICY DECISION. IF THE HOUSE FORECLOSES I WILL JUST SAY HERE IS YOUR HOUSE.

THEN I CAN HELP YOU. BUT WE DO HAVE EXPERTS WHO CAN HELP US FIND APPLICANTS.

WE CAN'T DO AN APPLICATION PROCESS WERE NOT SET UP FOR THAT.

I HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS A FEW MONTHS AGO ABOUT COMMUNITY HOUSING.

IT WILL BE GREAT IF SOMEONE COULD STAY LONG ENOUGH TO RENOVATE.

I THINK YOU COULD BE A GREAT PROGRAM. >> HAVE A MOTION IN A SECOND

PERIOD. >> YES, SIR. CALL THE ROLL.

[7.13 PPI PLAN APPROVAL]

>> ITEM 713. THIS IS A PPI PLAN APPROVAL. CHANGE THIS IS A PROGRAM FOR PUBLIC INFORMATION. THAT IS TO SUPPORT PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH FOR THE COMMUNITY RATINGS PROGRAM. CREATING A SYSTEM IS A TOOL TO IMPROVE THE FLOOD RATING AND REDUCE YOUR HOME INSURANCE. THE CITY'S BUILDING OFFICIALS AND THE CONSULTANTS ARE HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS FOR THE RATING CURRENTLY IS A 6.

IT DID FALL 287. AND SOME OF THE EFFORT HAS BEEN YOUR ACTION AS A CITY COMMISSION. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU GET THE CREDIT TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEMS. WE BELIEVE, THAT BASED UPON THE EFFORTS OF THE CITY BUILDING, THAT WITH A SIGNIFICANT EFFORT WE MAY BE ABLE TO GET TO A CLASS ONE AND BE ONLY HALF OF A DOZEN COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE THE RATING. IT WILL TAKE TIME AND EFFORT. BUT IT IS ATTAINABLE IF WE PUT IN EFFORT AND RESOURCES. WE THINK LEVEL ONE IS ATTAINABLE.

>> RECOMMEND APPROVAL. >> KEEP GOING. >> IF YOU WOULD TALK TO THEM ABOUT WHY IT'S IMPORTANT AND GOING INTO CLASS ONE IS HELPFUL. I WILL TELL YOU WHY.

>> WHY DON'T YOU TELL US. >> I WAS TRYING TO MAKE IT QUICK.

>> COMMISSIONER ROSS RECOGNIZED THE QUESTION. >> GOOD EVENING.

THE CLASS ONE, THE FLOOD INSURANCE FOR ALL RESIDENTS, BY 45%.

IN ADDITION FEMA DOES NOT GIVE THE DISCOUNT JUST FOR FUN. THEY KNOW IT PROVES THE COMMUNITY HAS BECOME MORE RESILIENT AND A LOT LESS FLOOD DAMAGE.

WHEN THE BIG ONE HITS AND THE NEXT ONE HITS, IN ADDITION, THE PPI, IT REQUIRES YOU TO ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY. SO THE RESIDENTS AND STAKEHOLDERS ARE PART OF THE

SOLUTION PART OF THE PROCESS. >> THIS IN ITSELF WILL GIVE US POINTS.

THE PPI GIVES YOU BONUS POINTS ON THE ACTIVITIES YOU DO. >>

[02:05:06]

>> IT IS A KEY COMPONENT THAT THIS ALMOST GOT US WILL FIVE AND THE EFFORT THEY HAVE PUT IN.

>> THAT'S GREAT. SO GO AHEAD PICKED AND SO CONSERVATION LAND AND BUYING

CONSERVATION LAND IS GETTING THE FLOOD INSURANCE. >> THAT'S CORRECT.

>> >> THAT WILL GET YOU IN TROUBLE. >> I USUALLY DON'T READ IT LIKE

THAT. >> OKAY DONAVON CLARK WOULD YOU PLEASE CALL THE OCCULT.

AND FINALLY, THE CITY CLERK POINTED OUT, REMEMBER TO VOTE. >> FIRST I WANT TO SAY IT WAS AN HONOR TO BE AT THE NAMING OF THE REC CENTER. AN INTERESTING THING AS I WATCHED. I FULLY EXPECTED HER TO COME INTO THE DOOR.

>> I'M GOING TO STEAL THE PAGE FROM THE MAYOR. I WOULD LIKE TO WISH MY WIFE A HAPPY ANNIVERSARY. FOURTEEN YEARS AGO TODAY. PART OF THE REASON I HAVE SUCH A FONDNESS FOR THE AREA IS I PROPOSE TO HER IN A RESTAURANT. I CAN STILL REMEMBER THE TABLE, THE POSITION IN THE RESTAURANT. I WANT TO MAKE SURE I SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT FOR THESE PAST FEW YEARS. IT HAS NOT BEEN EASY ON HER. SHE HAS TAKEN MORE EAT THAN I HAVE. I LOVE YOU DEAR. THANK YOU.

MY SPOUSE. HER FIRST JOB WAS AS A FEMALE SPORTSWRITER IN A NEWSPAPER DEPARTMENT OF 40 MALES. SHE WAS ONE OF A HANDFUL OF WOMEN'S SPORTS WRITERS.

YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT THAT ATMOSPHERE WAS LIKE. SHE GAVE BIRTH TO TWO DAUGHTERS.

WHO SHE IS THEIR ROLE MODEL FOR AND THEY ARE BOTH PROFESSIONAL WOMEN.

SO WHEN THE WOMEN'S MARCH WAS PLANNED, THERE WAS NO WAY I WOULD NOT ATTEND.

PERMIT OR NO PERMIT. AND THE LESSON BEING, WE MUST MOVE FORWARD, WITH THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN. THE FUTURE OF WOMEN, AND THE IMPORTANCE OF WOMEN.

AS CONTRIBUTORS, MAJOR CONTRIBUTORS AND EQUALS IN OUR SOCIETY.

SO HAVING PURCHASED A FADED AND THAT EVENT, I WANT TO PAY TRIBUTE TO OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT WHO SHOWED UP, AND GUARANTEED THE SAFETY OF THE PARTICIPANTS AS THEY MARCHED.

THANK YOU WOMEN OF AMERICA. >> THANK YOU. >> A COUPLE OF THINGS LAST SATURDAY. WHEN WE WERE AT THE NAMING. WE HAD CARS LINED UP HERE THEY ALSO TESTED FOR COVID WHICH WAS SIGNIFICANT. SOMETHING I SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT UP IS THAT, FOLLOWING, WE HAVE NOT CANCEL HALLOWEEN. I DEALT KNOW IF WE CAN DO ANYTHING. SOMEHOW WE SHOULD BE CONCERNED. I PLAN TO PUT CANDY ON MY FRONT PORCH BUT THE OTHER THING, MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT THIS UP BEFORE.

WE SAW THE E-MAIL ABOUT WASTE MANAGEMENT. WE DID THE SURVEY.

[02:30:05]

EVERYONE IS ALREADY VOTED. CASH OUT EVERYONE. >> THANK YOU, SIR.

>> THE DEDICATION CEREMONY WAS GREAT. AND I APOLOGIZE.

I ASSUME THE SEATS WERE THERE. BUT YEAH, IT WAS A GREAT EVENT. I FELT LIKE SHE WAS THERE.

THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT. IT WAS A FANTASTIC PROCLAMATION. >> I THINK EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED. THERE WERE TWO MEMBERS WHO WERE INJURED.

MY UNDERSTANDING IS THEY WERE BOTH INJURED. SO MY THOUGHTS GO OUT TO THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES. I WAS IN TOUCH DURING THE ENTIRE EVENT AND THEY WORK GOOD.

ONCE PEOPLE UNDERSTOOD WHAT HAPPENED. THE CALLS STARTED COMING.

AND IT WAS WHAT IT WAS. THEY GOT POWER BACK AS SOON AS THEY COULD.

I WANT TO THANK THEM. AND I THINK WE ALL NEED TO GO OUT AND VOTE.

PLEASE GO OUT AND VOTE. BOTH LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON
