33 BARTON STREET OR ST. LUCIE. I JUST WANT TO BRING THE ATTENTION ON ITEM NUMBER 11.

AND THINK IT IS OKAY. LMN. KLM IN.

1313 AVENUE JANE FORT PIERCE. IVORY ACQUIRED ABOUT THE LAW A FEW WEEKS AGO AND ATTACKS DETAIL. AND PAID ABOUT $3000 TO FIND OUT THERE WAS ABOUT $10,000 IN LIENS THAT WERE DUE. AND SENT A LETTER TO STAFF AND I CHECKED ON THE AGENDA TODAY AND I SAW THAT THERE WERE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE REDUCTION.

AND I PROPOSED SOME RECOMMENDATIONS ABLE TO PAY. THE PURPOSE OF THE LAW OF PROPERTY ON THERE AND I WOULD LIKE TO BUILD IN ALL UNIT ON THEIR OVER GET SOMETHING AND PUTTINGTHEM BUILDING ON THE SLOT. AND I HAVE IMPACT FEES TO PAY.

CLEARING OF THE LAW AND OTHER COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW BUILDING.

THERE ARE NOT TOO MANY NEW CONSTRUCTION GOING ON. WHEN I DRIVE AROUND I STILL SEE VACANT BUILDINGS THAT HAVE STILL BOARDED UP FROM THE PAST RECESSIONS IN THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE IS VIBRANT AND SHOULD BE THRIVING. OF THE OTHER CITY DOWN THE STREET IS HAVING CONSTRUCTION, I'M NOT SEEING WHY WE SHOULDN'T BE DOING SOMETHING.

THAT IS MY EFFORT IN TRYING TO HELP THE NEIGHBORHOOD INCREASE PROPERTY VALUE WHEN STUFF IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD BY MAKING SOMETHING NEW OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

I APPRECIATE THE CONSERVATION IN THE INTRODUCTION ON THE PROPERTY.

>>LISA HUDSON: THANK YOU, SIR. [NAME] >> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

ONCE AGAIN, MY NAME IS. [NAME] FROM PORT ST. LUCIE PUT ON THE PRESIDENT OF THE LEADERSHIP SOCIETY.IRST OF ALL, WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU ALL THIS EVENING AND ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR THE EFFORTS THAT WEPUT IN OVER THE SUMMER TRYING TO PASS THIS WEIRDNESS IN THE DECRIMINALIZATION AND JUST LISTENING TO THE YOUTH IN THE AREA IN GET ME, RECENTLY GOT HIRED AS A TEACHER AND IT IS KIND OF IRONIC BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH I AM IN A POSITION OF INTERNSHIP AND AUTHORITY, I FEEL LIKE I AM THE VOICE OF THE YOUTH. AND REALLY AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT IT MEANS TO HAVE THAT GUIDANCE TO EVENTUALLY BE SOMEBODY IN THE COMMUNITY. TO BE PROACTIVE.

BECAUSE FROM BEING IN AN TEACHER, I SEE FIRSTHAND THE KIDS IN THE AREA.

THEIR POTENTIAL AND ONCE AGAIN, THEIR THRESHOLDS TO BECOMING WHATEVER IT IS THEY NEED TO BE IN THE FUTURE. THE PASSING OF THE CRIMINALIZATION ORDINANCE WILL BE ONE OF THOSE OBSTACLES I FELT LIKE THEY DON'T NEED TO GO THROUGH ANYMORE.

SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS MARIJUANA SHOULDN'T BE A THORN IN SOMEBODY'S FUTURE BEING THAT MOST BLACK, WHITE, HOWEVER DOES THE SAME THING AT THE SAME RATE.

AND IF YOU LIKE IT IS DISPROPORTIONATE HOW CERTAIN PEOPLE GET PUNISHED FOR ONE CRIME AND OTHER PEOPLE DON'T. SO A WAY FOR US TO KEEP THE SAME LEVEL PLAYING FIELD IS TO HAVE SOMETHING SO THAT ALL PEOPLE, ALL KIDS NO MATTER WHERE THEY COME FROM HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SUCCEED IN THE WAY THAT THEY SHOULD. BECAUSE PERSONALLY, I GREW UP IN THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB. AND BECAUSE OF THAT IT WAS SUCH A MAGICAL EXPERIENCE BEING ABLE TO GO ON COLLEGE TOURS YOU MEET DIFFERENT PEOPLE, TRAVELACROSS THE COUNTRY .

BUILDING A CHARACTER I HAVE SO THAT THE GUY I AM NOW IS VERY MALLEABLE.

AND LET US HELPED ME BECAUSE IT PROGRAMS. WAS LED IN A DIRECTION TO HAVE THAT. AND UNFORTUNATELY I DON'T SEE THAT HAPPENING AS MUCH IN THE AREA AS I DID WHEN I WAS A KID. NOT TO SAY THERE IS AND EFFORTS BEING MADE TO DO THAT, BUT I WANTED TO BE A PART OF SOMETHING THAT WOULD LEAD THE GROUP OF PEOPLE TOWARD THAT

[00:10:02]

DIRECTION. WAS A BIG MOTIVE WE FELT ALL TOGETHER THAT THE DECRIMINALIZATION ORDINANCE WOULD BE A STEP TOWARD EVENTUALLY HAVING THOSE EFFORTS BE MADE EASIER FOR NOT JUST THE MEAN. HIM ONLY 22 YEARS OLD, BUT THE KID THAT IS 15, HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S GOING TODO IN HIS LIFE .

AND FOR HIM TO BE IN A POSITION WHERE HE CAN'T DO THOSE THINGS IN LIFE, IF YOU LIKE THAT WOULD BE A TRAVESTY FOR EVERYBODY TO GET A VILLAGE EDUCATION IS THE FOUNDATION FOR THE ECONOMY.

IF YOU WANT SOMETHING TO BE BETTER FOR THE ECONOMY, IT STARTS WITH EDUCATION.

TRYING TO DO MY PART TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. I WANT TO BE PART OF YOUR GUYS EFFORT TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME IN THE SOCIETY TO DO SO.

>>LISA HUDSON: THANK YOU, SIR. CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW POSITION.

SEAN MCDERMOTT? >> GOOD EVENING MAYOR, CITY COMMISSIONERS HERE YOU I AM

HERE TO SPEAK. >>LISA HUDSON: STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.

>> SEAN MCDERMOTT, 1157 SOUTHWEST. STREET. I'M HERE TO SPEAK FOR THE DEMORALIZATION FOR MARIJUANA AT THE LOCAL LEVEL. IS A STIGMA THAT HAS WITHHELD US FROM AGGRESSION IN THIS MATTER. DUE TO THE RECENT OPIOID EPIDEMIC, THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY HAS RECOGNIZED THE BENEFITS OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA AND CBD.

THE REASON WE BELIEVE AND NEEDS TO BE DECRIMINALIZED IS IT HAS CAUSED REAL HARM TO FIRST-TIME OFFENDERS AND A LIFETIME OF PAIN. ANYWHERE FROM NOT BEING ABLE TO GAIN EMPLOYMENT TO A STUDENT LOSING A SCHOLARSHIP FOR HAVING POSSESSION OF 20 GRAMS OR LESS.

WE NEED TO LEAD BY EXAMPLE. RECENTLY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES HAS PASSED A BILL TO DECRIMINALIZE MARIJUANA ON A FEDERAL LEVEL. PENDING THE STATE, THE SENATE.

WE ARE AT THE FOREFRONT OF REAL CHANGE. IT HAS BEEN AN HONOR TO BE PART OF THE NEW LEADERSHIP SOCIETY OF FORT PIERCE WE ARE NOW LAYING THE PLAN TO START A CHAPTER IN PORT ST. LUCIE. REALISTIC CRIMINALIZATION ORDINANCE TO THEM AS WELL.

I BELIEVE WE ARE MATCHING SOME OF THE BRIGHTEST MAILINGS TO BRING HONOR AND INTEGRITY TO

ST. LUCIE COUNTY. THANK YOU. >>LISA HUDSON: THANK YOU, SIR.

HENRY DO HEART. >> 638 S. TOLD STREET. IT IS GOOD TO BE BACK DOING WHAT I DO BEST, WHICH IS STAYING ACTIVE ON I WANT TO SAY FIRST THANK TO YOU THE COMMISSIONS AND THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND TO THE STAFF FOR HELPING US WITH THIS PROCESS.

FROM THE BEGINNING WHEN I EXPLAINED TO SO MANY PEOPLE WOULD IT A LOT OF TIMES WE FEEL THINGS AREN'T IMPORTANT OR CERTAIN THINGS AREN'T NEEDED FROM YOU A LOT OF TIMES AND PEOPLE NEED TO BE PART OF THE PROCESS. I HOPE YOU HAVE SEEN ON NOT JUST MYSELF BUT OTHERS HAVE NOT ONLY TALKED ABOUT IT, WE BROUGHT PEOPLE TO BE A PART OF THIS PROCESS. SOME OF THE AND PEOPLE COULD NOT BE HERE TODAY AND SUMMER WAITING OUTSIDE. THERE ARE ABOUT 10 IN PEOPLE, MOST OF US WERE FORT PIERCE.

CAME TOGETHER A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO TO SAY WHAT IS SOMETHING WE CAN DO TO BRING ABOUT REAL CHANGE. NOT JUST MARCH, NOT JUST BE CANNOT JUST PUT ON EVENTS BUT HOW CAN WE CHANGE ORDINANCES BUT HOW CAN WE UNDERSTAND THE CHARTER, UNDERSTAND OUR POWER AND IF AN ELECTED OFFICIAL LIKES WHAT WE DO OR SUPPORTS WHAT WE DO, HOW CAN WE TEACH PEOPLE THAT YOU HAVE MORE POWER THAT HE ELECTED TO OFFICE. KNOWING YOUR POWER IS ONE OF THE FIRST STEPS IN FOR US BEING THE CHANGE IN OUR COMMUNITY. ANOTHER POSITIVE THING ABOUT THIS IS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE BREAKING THE STIGMA OF NOT JUST FORT PIERCE BUT WHAT THEY THINK AND PEOPLE ARE DOING, WHICH IS NOT PLAYING AROUND ARE NOT WASTING OUR LIVES.

WE ARE BEING ACTIVE IN THIS WILL NOT BE THE LAST TIME YOU SEE US, WHICH I HOPE THAT BRINGS COMFORT OR NOT. IT DEPENDS ON WHAT WE BRING TO YOU.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU GUYS KNOW THAT WE DON'T DO THIS FOR FUN, WE DON'T DO THIS JUST FOR THE ANTICS. THE FIRST MEETING WE STAYED ALL THE WAY THREE HOURS UNTIL THE END. IS REALLY EXCITED AND TOUCHED AS WELL.

I KNOW THAT THE SAME THING THA HAPPENED TO ME TWO YEARS AGO WHEN HE RAN FOR OFFICE , THE ENERGY, THE SPARK TO BE A PART OF THE CHANGE. I THINK IT SPARKED THE INTENT OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE AND HOPEFULLY MORE.HE ONLY ARE YOU VOTING ON SOMETHING AS A REGULAR NIGHT, TODAY YOU VOTE ON THE FUTURE WHEN YOU INSPIRE MORE YOUNG PEOPLE TO BE A PART OF THE CHANGE. SO PLEASE,PLEASE, PLEASE. WE HOPE YOU MOVE FORWARD.

WE HAVE SHOWN THE WORK AND WE HAVE DONE THE WORK. LET'S GET A LITTLE BIT OF A

[a. Presentation of St. Lucie County Transit Update by Murriah Dekle, Transit Division Director.]

HUDSON: YES, MA'AM. >> MISCELLANEOUS REPORTS FOR THE FIRST IS A PRESENTATION ST.

LUCIE COUNTY TRANSIT UPDATE BY MURRIAH DEKLE OF THE TRANSIT DIVISION DIRECTOR.

>>LISA HUDSON: DO YOU HAVE ANY ÃANYTHING YOU WANT TO SAY BEFORE THEY START?

>> I CAN SAY THAT MURRIAH DEKLE HAS BEEN A PARTNER WITH US FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND SHE IS HERE TO PROVIDE THE ANNUAL REPORT BASED UPON THE ACTIVITIES FOR ST. LUCIE COUNTY.

I BELIEVE WE ALSO HAVE THE DEPUTY OR ASSISTANT COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR HERE AS WELL, MR.

ALONSO JEFFERSON. >>LISA HUDSON: WELCOME. >> GOOD EVENING.

THANK YOU. ALFONSO. >> MY BAD.

MY BAD.AND GOT EXCITED. >> IT IS GREAT TO BE HERE TONIGHT AND FIRST OF ALL, LET ME SAY CONGRATULATIONS TO THE REELECTION TO JEREMIAH AS WELL AND CONGRATULATIONS ON CURTIS JOHNSON FOR HIS VICTORY IN THE REELECTION AS WELL.GAIN, MY NAME IS ALFONSO JEFFERSON, DEPUTY COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR. AND I AM SO PROUD TO BE HERE TONIGHT BECAUSE I AM SO PROUD OF THESE EMPLOYEES, THE STAFF WHO HAS REALLY BEEN LEADING THE EFFORT WITH TRANSIT WITHIN ST.

LUCIE COUNTY. WE TALKED ABOUT TRANSIT AND THE BENEFIT OF TRANSIT.

JUST TO GIVE YOU SOME REAL QUICK NUMBERS, OUR SYSTEM TODAY PROVIDES OVER 700,000 TROOPS ANNUALLY. A TRANSPORTATION THIS ADVANTAGE PROGRAM PROVIDES ANOTHER 150,000 DOOR-TO-DOOR TRIPS. IN FORT PIERCE ALONE, NOTWITHSTANDING THE GLOBAL PANDEMIC. WE KNOW WHAT THE EFFECTS HAS BEEN ON THAT PANDEMIC HAS HAD ON US. THEY PROVIDED OVER 400,000 TRIPS LAST YEAR FOR THIS MEAN HUNDREDS OF CARS ARE OFF THE ROADS, WHICH REDUCES OUR CARBON EMISSIONS TO KEEP OUR COMMUNITY CLEAN AND LESS CONGESTED. WE ALL KNOW THERE ARE MANY MORE BENEFITS TO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SUCH AS BUILDING A STRONG ECONOMY, REDUCING THE DEPENDENCE, OFFERING MOBILITY AND SMALL URBAN AND RURAL AREAS IN PROVIDING ACCESS TO PEOPLE OF ALL AGES TO HELP THEM STAY SAFE AND MOBILE. I REALLY SEE TRANSIT AS AN ECONOMIC DRIVER.

AS WE CONTINUE TO GROW IN ST. LUCIE COUNTY, WE CONTINUE TO EXPAND AND LOOK AT WAYS TO EXPAND. TRANSIT HAS TO GO WITH OUR COMMUNITY.

LOOK AT AS A VALUABLE TOOL, A VIABLE ECONOMIC DRIVER FOR OUR ECONOMY.

AND SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, MURRIAH DEKLE IS GOING TO TAKE YOU THROUGH OUR ANNUAL UPDATE.

AND ONCE AGAIN, I FORGOT TO INTRODUCE DIANA. EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW DIANA IN THE BACK RIGHT THERE. UNDER HER LEADERSHIP WE HAVE BEEN MOVING MANY THINGS FORWARD WHEN IT COMES TO TRANSIT. I GIVE THE FLOOR TO MURRIAH DEKLE.

>>LISA HUDSON: THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. >>MURRIAH DEKLE: THANK YOU, ALFONSO. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. THANK YOU FOR HAVING US.

WE ARE EXCITED TO BE HERE. WE DON'T GET AROUND VERY OFTEN. >>LISA HUDSON: YOU ARE IN THE TRANSIT DIVISION. YOU DON'T GET AROUND? [LAUGHTER]

>>MURRIAH DEKLE: IN YOUR PACKET WE INCLUDED OUR ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT WE SUBMITTED TO THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, WE ARE HAPPY TO ANSWER. THERE ARE A LOT OF DETAILS IN THEIR.

WE ARE HEAVILY REGULATED INDUSTRY.E HAVE A LOT OF OUR REGULATORY COMPLIANCE WE HAVETO MEET . AND THIS PARTICULAR PRESENTATION IS STRUCTURED AROUND THAT REPORT. AS FAR AS THE 2020 YEAR, IT HAS BEEN VERY INTERESTING FOR US AND WE HAVE A LOT OF THINGS TO GIVE. FROM THE FEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION, THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF MINISTRATION, ALL THE ACRONYMS IN THE BOOKS.

WE ARE VERY GRACIOUS OF THE SUPPORT. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ADOLFO JOINED OUR TEAM THE SUMMER AND HE JOINED TWO DAYS BEFORE WE MADE THIS HUGE TRANSITION. SO PREVIOUSLY WHEN COUNTY HAD CONTRACTED WITH THE COUNCIL ON AGING FOR ABOUT 28 YEARS. UNDER A FEDERAL PROCUREMENT WE TRANSITION TO ANOTHER PROVIDER.

AND THAT WAS EFFECTIVE JULY 1. IT HAS BEEN QUITE A WILD RIDE PARIS AND AND I'M GOING TO TURNED OVER TO ADOLFO IN JUST A SECOND TO TALK ABOUT WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING, BUT I WANTED TO REMIND THE BOARD THAT WE HAVE STRATEGIC PLANS. WE OF TRANSIT DEVELOPMENT PLANS, WHICH IS OUR STRATEGIC PLAN. IT IS YOUR PLAN.

AND SOME USE IT ON THE POLICY BOARD SO YOU SEE THESE PLANS COME THROUGH.

WE WERE TRANSIT DEVELOPMENT SERVICE PLAN, WHICH IS STRUCTURED FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES. WE ALSO HAVE COMMUNITY GOALS WITHIN THOSE PLANS.E A PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT COMPONENTS OF THE PLANS. AND SO WE LIKE TO THINK WE ARE

[00:20:01]

ENGAGING WITH THE PUBLIC. WE TALK TO THE WRITERS, WE KNOW WHAT THE NEEDS ARE IN THE COMMUNITY. WE ALSO WANT TO TALK ABOUT NEXT STEPS TO WHERE WE ARE GOING.

IN FISCAL YEAR 19/27 ARE MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS WHERE THE WRITER SHOULD.

YOU HEAR US TALK ABOUT OUR FAIRFIELD PROGRAM A LOT AND HOW THE RIDERSHIP HAS REALLY GONE THROUGH THE ROOF. THE INCREASE IN 253 PERCENT IS BASED ON ÃFROM 2015.

SO IT IS OVER 253 PERCENT FROM 2015 AND THEN WE ARE GOING TO GET INTO SOME OF THE YEAR-OVER-YEAR COMPARISONS IN JUST A MINUTE. WE INCREASED OUR SERVICE FREQUENCY ALONG US ONE TO HAVE OUR HEADWAYS SO PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO WAIT AN HOUR FOR THE BUS ANYMORE. WE HAVE A NEW SERVICE ROUTE ON 25TH STREET, WHICH WE WILL TALK ABOUT. THAT'S HER ONLY OTHER NORTH-SOUTH ROUTE IN THE COUNTY BESIDE US ONE BUT MICHAEL TRANSIT PILOT PROJECT IN THE GOTLAND AREA FOR THAT IS THE FIRST OF ITS KIND TO THE REGIO . AND WE FEATURED AN FLORIDA TREND FOR THAT PROJECT. IT IS BASICALLY A PUBLIC UBER. IT'S GOING REALLY WELL.

AND WE HAVE MADE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE BUS STOPS IN PROGRESS AND OTHER CAPITAL PROJECTS.

WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SECURE ADDITIONAL FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES AND SOME PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS WITH UBER FOR BUSINESS. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU OTHER PRIVATE ENTITIES. SO THAT I WILL TURN IT OVER TO ADOLFO AND HOPEFULLY WE WON'T

TAKE TOO MUCH OF YOUR TIME THIS EVENING. >> GOOD EVENING.

GOOD EVENING MADAME MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, TRANSIT OPERATIONS MANAGER FOR ST.

LUCIE COUNTY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR HAVING US HERE.

WE APPRECIATE THE TIME. WE DO HAVE A NEW CONTRACTOR THAT STARTED WITH US JULY ONE OF THIS YEAR AND THE TRANSPORTATION. OUR VEHICLES ARE MAINTAINED AT A CENTRALIZED LOCATION AND WE ARE ABLE TO DO MOST OF THE MAINTENANCE WORK THERE, EXCEPT FOR SOME OF THE MAJOR JOBS. SO IT HAS BEEN HELPING US TO GO FORWARD.

WE HAVE ORDERED NEW BUSES. WE HAD SIX NEW BUSES COME IN LAST WEEK.

THEY ARE PARATRANSIT BUSES USED FOR DIALYSIS AND DOOR-TO-DOOR TRANSPORTATION.

WE HAVE 10 DODGE CARAVANS I WILL BE COMING IN TOWARD THE END OF THE YEAR, BEGINNING OF NEXT YEAR ONCE I GET INSPECTED. AND THEN WE WILL ALSO HAVE THREE NEW FIXED ROUTE BUSES COMING IN LATER ON NEXT YEAR. WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE AUCTIONED OFF SEVEN OF OUR OLDER BUSES WHO REACHED RETIREMENT OR READY TO BE RETIRED.

AND SO WITH THAT SAID, IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE THEY WOULD LIKE ALL TRANSIT AGENCIES, WE HAVE SEEN A DECLINE IN RIDERSHIP DUE TO COVID-19 DURING APRIL WAS OUR WORST MONTH. YEAR-OVER-YEAR WE ARE DOWN THE MONTHS FROM APRIL TO JULY FOR THAT REASON. BUT ON A POSITIVE NOTE, WE ARE TRENDING UPWARDS AS THE YEAR GOES ON. WE DO HAVE ALL OUR DRIVERS, WE HAVE THEIR TEMPERATURES CHECKED EVERY DAY, THEY WERE MASKS, THEY HAVE MASKS FOR ALL THE WRITERS THAT DON'T HAVE THEM.

THE OF DISINFECTANT THEY CARRY WITH THEM AND THEY DISINFECT THE BUSES EVERY SINGLE NIGHT TO TRY TO HELP WITH THAT. UNFORTUNATELY WE DID HAVE A FEW EMPLOYEES AND WRITERS DIAGNOSED WITH THE CORONAVIRUS. BUT WE ARE WORKING OUR WAY TO HELP THAT.

THE CARES ACT, THE TOTAL AMOUNT ALLOCATED FOR ST. LUCIE TRANSIT PROGRAM THROUGH FTA WITH $7 MILLION AND AS PART OF THE FDA GRANT SCOPE, THE STAFF CONSULTED WITH THE CITIES OF FORT PIERCE AND PORT ST. LUCIE REGARDING THE STRATEGIC PLANS, GOALS AND NEEDS TO THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE APPROVE THIS GROUP THROUGH AN INFORMAL PROCESS WITH STAFF AND THE CITY MANAGERS OFFICE. THE OPERATING PORTION OF THE FUNDING HAS BEEN USED AS A STIMULUS FOR OUR PROGRAM, ALLOWING US TO GAIN ADDITIONAL INTEREST ON OUR LOCAL FUNDS BECAUSE THE CARES ACT IS 100 PERCENT FEDERAL SHARE. AS MARIAH SAID, WE BEGAN ROUTE 8 ON MARCH 4 2020 OF THIS YEAR FOR THE SERVICE WAS IDENTIFIED AS AN EARLY ÃAS EARLY AS 2009 IN THE COUNTIES TRANSIT PDEVELOPMENT PLANS FOR THE PLAN HAVE REITERATED THE NEED FOR AN ADDITIONAL NORTH-SOUTH ROUTE FOR THE NETWORK. THE OBJECTIVE IS TO INCREASE COVERAGE AREA AS IDENTIFIED IN THE TDP. THE EXISTING ROUTE 1 WITH THE COUNTIES BUSY AS ROUTE PRIOR AND PRIOR TO ROUTE 8 WAS THE ONLY MEANS OF TRAVELING NORTH AND SOUTH. WE PROVIDED OVER 2000 TROOPS ON THE ROUTE 8 SINCE IT STARTED IN MARCH. AS FAR AS OUR PERFORMANCE MEASURES GO, WE HAVE SLIDES FOR ROUTES ONE, TWO, THREE, SEVEN AND EIGHT WHICH SERVED THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE.

ROUTES TO AND THREE ARE CIRCULAR ROUTE SPIRIT ROUTE 8 WAS THE ONE I JUST SPOKE BEFORE. PROVIDES DIRECT CONNECTIONS BETWEEN FORT PIERCE AND PORT ST. LUCIE AND ROUTE 7 ORIGINATES UP FORT PIERCE FACILITY AND CONNECTS WITH THE RIVER COUNTY GO LINE IN VERO BEACH. ALTHOUGH WE HAVE SEEN A DECLINE IN 2020 DUE TO COVID-19, WE ARE UP 150 PERCENT FROM JULY 2020 WITH THE CORONAVIRUS FOR JULY 2016 AND THIS HAS BEEN AN DIRECT RESULT OF GONG FROM CHARGIN A FAIR TO FAIR FREE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SPOKE REGARDING SPECIAL PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON. TO THE PROJECTS THAT WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT, THAT IS CLASSIFIED AS PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. BECAUSE OUR DESIGNATION OF THE COUNTY IS A COMMUNITY TRANSPORTATION COORDINATOR THROUGH THE FLORIDA COMMISSION FOR TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED, WE ARE ABLE TO DEVELOP OTHER PROGRAMS.

[00:25:06]

NOT AS PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. IS OVER THAT WE ARE REALLY HAPPY WE ARE ABLE TO TAKE $50,000 LAST YEAR AND TURNED ADDENDA OVER $500,000. WE TOOK HALF A MILLION AND DEVELOPED A COUPLE OF SPECIAL PROJECTS. THOSE PROJECTS ARE DIRECT CONNECT, AND AFTER HOURS PROGRAM THAT WE PARTNER WITH LOCAL CAB COMPANIES AND UBER FOR BUSINESS. IT PRIMARILY SERVES LOW-INCOME INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE LATE SHIFT SERVICE JOBS THAT THEY NEED CONNECTIONS TO. OR VANTAGE RIDE PROGRAM WE'VE ALLOCATED $250,000 TO IT JUST KICKED OFF NOVEMBER 2. WE ARE REALLY HAPPY WE PROVIDED OVER 100 TRIP SO FAR AND IT IS A REGIONAL PROJECT AND IT IS FOR PERSONS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL OR INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES. WE KNOW WE HAVE SOME GAPS IN SERVICES AND SO THE GOAL OF THESE PROGRAMS IS TO CLOSE THOSE GAPS. AND ALSO WITH THE DIALYSIS PATIENTS, THEY ARE VERY VULNERABLE. PARTS THE POPULATION AND AFTER THEY RECEIVE DIALYSIS TREATMENTS THEY REALLY DON'T NEED TO BE WAITING AROUND LONG.

THEY NEED TO GET HOME AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. WE ARE WORKING TO IMPROVE THAT.

AS FAR AS PROJECT UPDATES GO, THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE FACILITY FOR THOSE OF YOU ON THE POLICY BOARD, YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT THE PROJECT BEFORE ON THE LIST OF PROJECT PRIORITIES.S EARLY AS 2009 THE PROJECT WAS IDENTIFIED AS A NEED FOR A CAPITAL PROJECT TO REALLY MOVE THINGS FORWARD FOR THE PROGRAM. STREAMLINE OPERATIONAL COSTS TO INCREASE OUR PROGRAM EFFICIENCY IS A MUST. IF WE ARE GOING TO GROW THIS PROGRAM, WE REALLY NEED TO HAVE THE FACILITY TO CONDUCT OUR BUSINESS. RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A CONTRACT OPERATOR THAT IS NOW DOING ALL THE WORK AT THEIR LOCATION, BUT WE HAVE YET TO HAVE A CONSOLIDATED PLACE FOR ADMINISTRATION LIKE LARGER TRANSIT AGENCIES HAVE AND YOU WILL KNOW I DON'T HAVE TILLY ABOUT THE POPULATION PROJECTIONS FOR THE COUNTY AND FOR THE CITY. AS FAR AS CAPITAL INVESTMENTS GO, ADOLFO ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THAT. BUT I DID ONE HIGHLIGHT WE WERE ABLE TO STREAMLINE ORCA PROCUREMENT PRINT PROCUREMENT TAKES IS A REALLY LONG TIME. BUT BECAUSE OF THE STATE TROOPS CONTRACT WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE BUSES SOONER RATHER THAN LATER.

AND FOR THE BUS SHELTERS, THIS PAST YEAR WE DID INSTALL QUITE A FEW NEW BUS SHELTERS.

46 NEW AND REPLACEMENT TRASH RECEPTACLES ALONG THE FIXED ROUTE SERVICE LINES, 24 NEWS AND RECEIPTS. AND WE BRENDA 14 EXISTING SHELTERS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY.

WE ARE WORKING CLOSELY WITH YOUR STAFF TO IDENTIFY NEW SHELTERS AND YOU PROBABLY KNOW IN FORT PIERCE A LOT OF THEM NEED TO BE REPLACED. IT SEEMS LIKE FORT PIERCE WAS A PLACE WE NEEDED TO START WITH INSTALLATION 10 YEARS AGO OR SO AND IT IS TIME FOR WOULD WE LOOK FORWARD TO DOING THAT. AND YOU MIGHT WONDER WHERE SOME OF THESE PROJECTS COME FROM.

WITH THE WRITER EXPERIENCED, A LOT OF PEOPLE TELL US THAT THEY NEED TO HAVE A SAFE ANDSECURE PLACE TO WAIT FOR THE BUS. THEY DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WAITING FOR THE BUS .

WE TAKE THAT SERIOUSLY WE GO THROUGH OUR FEDERAL PROCUREMENT REQUIREMENTS TO GET THE BUS SHELTERS AND IT TAKES A WHILE. THE FEEDBACK COMES IN MANY SOURCES IN MANY FORMS, BUT LAST YEAR WITH OUR MAJOR UPDATE TO OUR STRATEGIC PLAN WE COLLECTED OVER 500 SURVEYS TO READ AND WITH THAT PEOPLE CITED MORE SERVICE AND MORE BUS SHELTERS. SOMETHING THAT WAS INTERESTING BUT THE SURVEY ALSO WAS AT 97 PERCENT OF WRITERS DISAGREED WITH THE STATEMENT OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IS UNNECESSARY SERVICE. IT WAS A GENERAL TREND INDICATED BY USER AND NON-USER GROUPS TO READ SO INFORMAL DISCUSSIONS WITH NONUSERS REVEALED THAT MOST FEEL THAT PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IS NECESSARY AND IMPORTANT.

NOT NECESSARILY FOR THEMSELVES, BUT THOSE WHO NEED IT. SO WE FEEL LIKE WE HAVE THE SUPPORT AND THE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY IDENTIFY THAT THIS REALLY IS A NEEDED PROGRAM.

AND SO SHORT-TERM NEXT STEPS, JUST TWO MORE SLIDES FOR YOU. THE REBRANDING CAMPAIGN KICKED OFF LAST WEEK SO WE WILL BE IN TOUCH WITH THE CITY MANAGERS OFFICE NEXT WEEK TO GET A HOLD OF YOU ALL TO SEE WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS ARE ON OUR REBANDING. THE ROUTE OPTIMIZATION CITY WAS APPROVED AT THE POLICY BOARD LAST WEEK IN THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES TRANSITION PLAN IS SOMETHING WE ARE WORKING ON AND SCOPING OUT THE MOMENT. AND THEN I AM HAPPY TO SAY OUR TRANSIT ASSET MANAGEMENT PLAN IN OUR AGENCY SAFETY PLAN WAS RECENTLY UPDATED BECAUSE WE HAVE AN AMAZING TEAM. IN THE URBAN INSTITUTES UPWARD MOBILITY COHORT, I KNOW YOU ARE ALL WORKING WITH THE COUNTY ON THAT. WE WERE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE.

WE ARE REALLY EXCITED THAT THE COUNTY WAS SELECTED FOR THE NEXT ROUND WITH THAT.

UNTIL SOMETHING THAT WE WORKED THROUGH WITH THE ORIGINAL APPLICATION WAS TRYING TO FOLD AND TRANSPORTATION. SO IT IS KINDA LIKE A MULTICOMPONENT APPLICATION TO READ AND WITH THAT WE LOOKED AT THE CONTINUING STUDY OF UPWARD MOBILITY BASED AT HARVARD.ING T SINGLE STRONGEST FACTOR IN THE ODDS OF ESCAPING POVERTY. THE LONGER AN AVERAGE CAN BE ON A GIVEN COMMUNITY THE WORSE THE CHANCES OF LOW INCOME FAMILIES ARE MOVING OF THE LETTER.

SO IT LINKS THE PHYSICAL MOBILITY WITH SOCIAL MOBILITY. WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THAT AND

[00:30:06]

WE WILL KEEP YOU POSTED. I KNOW YOU ARE IN TOUCH WITH THE ADMINISTRATION.ND THEN AS FAR AS LONG-TERM NEXT STEPS GO, SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE BEEN HERE FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE COUNTY STREAMS TRANSIT MST YOU GOOD FOR THE LONGEST TIME THAT WAS OUR ONLY LOCAL SOURCE TO LEVERAGE ADDITIONAL FEDERAL AND STATE FUNDS. WE HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO RECEIVE GENERAL FUND ALLOCATIONS WITHIN THE PAST FEW YEARS.

BUT THAT MST YOU HAS A SUNSET DATE AND THAT DATE IS COMING QUICKLY.

WE ARE GOING TO NEED SOME POLICY DISCUSSIONS IN THE FUTURE.

WE WOULD LIKE TO COME BACK AND TALK TO YOU ABOUT CURRENT OTHER ELIGIBLE FUNDING SOURCES ALSO WITH THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION, THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES TO FLEX THAT FUNDING THE FEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION AS WELL. THAT WOULD BE A POLICY DECISION WITH THE POLICY BOARD FOR THE PLEASURE OF THE BOARD WOULD HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THAT.

BUT IT IS AN OPTION WE COULD ALWAYS EXPLORE. AND THEN ALSO OUR STRATEGIC PLANS ARE LIVING DOCUMENTS. SO IF AT ANY TIME THERE ARE PROJECTS WHO COME ABOUT, PLEASE CONTACT US AND LET US KNOW AND WE CAN INCORPORATE THOSE INTO OUR ANNUAL PART PROGRESS REPORTS. AND THAT CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATION.

HAPPENED AND THE ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. >>LISA HUDSON: ANY QUESTIONS?

NO? >>THOMAS K. PERONA: AM JUST IMPRESSED.

I WANTED TO BREATHE FOR YOU. [LAUGHTER] >> I PROMISED MY DIRECTOR.

>> SHE WAS TIMING ME. I KNOW SHE WAS. >>THOMAS K. PERONA: THIS LADY DOESN'T TAKE A BREATH. YOU HAVE A LOT OF GOOD STUFF GOING ON THERE.

I PROBABLY NEED TO TAKE A BETTER LOOK AT WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON AGAIN.

WENT THROUGH IT SO FAST AND I ONLY CAUGHT ÃBY THE TIME I TOOK A NOTE I HAD FORGOT THAT NO ONE HAD TO GO ONTO THE NEXT ONE. [LAUGHTER] EXCELLENT

PRESENTATION. >>LISA HUDSON: IT WAS EXCELLENT .

>> THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION BUT ONE OF THE SLIDES CAUGHT MY ATTENTION.

SLIDE 11. WE LOOK AT THE DISADVANTAGE PROGRAMS WITH THE DIABETES TRANSPORTATION. ARE THERE IN THE EARLY NUMBERS ON THAT RIGHT NOW? IT IN NUMBERS ON WHAT YOU'RE TRANSPORTING THOSE PARTICULAR AREAS?

>> SURE. WE HAVE A LOT OF DATA. WE HAVE TO REPORT ALL THAT TO

OUR GRANTING AGENCIES. >> OKAY. I WOULD LIKE TO MAYBE SEE SOME OF THAT. BE NEW TO THE COMMISSION, AND TRYING TO CATCH UP REAL QUICK.

AND VERY IMPRESSED WITH IT. I WOULD LIKE TO FIND MR. MIMS IF WE CAN GET THE STRATEGIC PLAN. WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT IF WE HAVE IT.O THAT I AM AWARE OF IT. NEXT QUESTION: YOU MENTIONED NEW BUSES AND NEW TERMINAL STYLE SHELTERS. HOW WE STEPPED IN TO LOOKING AT PROVIDING ACCESS TO WI-FI? MAYBE THE BUSES ALREADY DO THAT. IS AT A PART OF THE PLAN ON THE

BUSES? >> WE DID EXPERIMENT WITH WI-FI AT ONE POINT.

THAT IS SOMETHING THAT YES, WE WOULD LIKE TO LOOK INTO FURTHER.

AND ALLOCATE FUNDING AND BUDGET APPROPRIATELY FOR THE. >> AS WELL AS CHARGING POWER STATIONS? OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

>>MURRIAH DEKLE: WE CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE THOSE. BUT WE KNOW IT IS A NEED.

>> ALL RIGHT. THAT'S IT. THANK YOU.

>>LISA HUDSON: COMMISSIONER JAY JOHNSON? >>JEREMIAH JOHNSON: THAT IS GOING TO TAKE SOME GETTING USED TO. [LAUGHTER]

>>JEREMIAH JOHNSON: GOOD PRESENTATION. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

A LOT OF GOOD INFORMATION. THE MAYOR AND I SAID ON THE TPO.

SO WE ARE HEAVILY INVOLVED IN SOME OF THESE PROCESSES AND THE INFORMATION.

WE DON'T ALWAYS GET THE ARGUMENTS, BUT WE HAVE TO GO BACK AND DO THE RESEARCH.

BUT IT IS INTERESTING AND IT IS FUN. ONE QUESTION I HAVE FROM THIS PERSPECTIVE SITTING ON THIS DAY IS RIGHT NOW IS WHAT CAN THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE DO TO CHALLENGE OURSELVES TO HELP YOU IN YOUR ENDEAVORS WITH YOUR MASTER PLAN, YOUR FUTURE PLANS, EAR SPLITTING OPPORTUNITIES. BECAUSE LIKE TONIGHT WE HAVE A FULL AGENDA BUT WE HAVE SOME DEVELOPERS THAT ARE LOOKING TO COME IN THE TREASURE COAST IS HOT IN FORT PIERCE IS

DEFINITELY ON THE RADAR SCREEN. SO WHAT CAN WE DO AS A BODY? >>MURRIAH DEKLE: THAT IS A GREAT POINT. YOU ARE PROBABLY FAMILIAR WITH THE COUNTIES FEE AND NEW PROGRAM WITH LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS. SO IF A DEVELOPER IS COMING AND WE KNOW IT IS CLOSE TO A TRANSIT LINE OR A FUTURE TRANSIT LINE.

WE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING TO PARTNER. MAYBE CONTRIBUTIONS HELP WITH BUILDING THAT INFRASTRUCTURE AND PARTNERING. THERE ARE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES TOO, DEPENDING ON THE PLEASURE OF THE BOARD. AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR COURT CODES SAY ABOUT THAT, BUT WE SHOULD DEFINITELY EXPLORE I .

>> OKAY. BECAUSE I LOOK AT THE MAP AND AM GLAD 25TH STREET IS ON THE.

YOU KNOW THE NEXT MAJOR ONE IS PROBABLY A HARTNETT ROAD, JENKINS ROAD.

JENKINS FOR SURE. BUT IN THE CITY MAYBE HARTMAN WROTE IN BETWEEN THERE WERE

[00:35:04]

THERE'S A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY. A LOT OF FOLKS RELY ON THIS TRANSPORTATION.

AND I DEFINITELY WANT TO HAVE OURCODES AND ORDINANCES IN OUR PLANNING OBJECTIVES IN LINE.

WE DO STRATEGIC PLAN EVERY YEAR . JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE IN STEP WITHWHAT YOUR VISION IS . AND WE CAN BRING THAT INFORMATION TOO FROM THE TPO BOARD. IT'S JUST NOT ALWAYS INFORMATION WE NEED. TO COMMISSIONER, I'M GLAD YOU ASKED ABOUT THEIR PLAN WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR. AND AS YOU DIG INTO IT, YOU WILL SEE THERE IS A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY.O I JUST APPRECIATE THAT YOU ARE SEEING THAT VISION AND LIVING IT OUT.

THANK YOU. >>LISA HUDSON: MR. MIMS? >> MET AMIR, THANK YOU.

A WONDERFUL PRESENTATION. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ONE THING I DO WANT TO BRING UP THAT WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR SEVERAL YEARS IS CONNECTING THE EASTERN SIDE OF FORT PIERCE TO THE TRANSPORTATION NETWORK. AND THAT IS EAST OF US ONE. WE HAD MANY VISITORS AND MANY RESIDENTS THAT DO LIVE EAST THE US ONE. BUT WE DO NOT HAVE THE TRANSPORTATION THAT RUNS EAST TO US ONE. AND I THINK WE SHOULD THINK ABOUT THAT. WHETHER THAT IS A CONNECTION OR SOME SORT OF LOCALIZED TRANSPORTATION. BUT I KNOW WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THAT FOR SEVERAL YEARS.

ANOTHER THING WE HAVE DONE ON F DOT AND STATE PROJECTS, WE HAVE IDENTIFIED THE PLANNING AND THE LOCATION OF BUS STOPS. IN THE LOCATION WHERE THE BUSES CAN PULL OVER WHEN THERE IS ADEQUATE RIGHT OF WAY. AND I BELIEVE WE CAN ROLL THAT INTO OUR DESIGN WITHIN OUR STREETS AS WELL WITH OUR CITY ENGINEER WORKING WITH THE TRANSPORTATION FOLKS TO HANDLE

THAT NEED. >> I THINK THE TPO HAS THAT SAME ON ITS WISH LIST TOO.

PUBLIC TRANSIT TO EAST OF FORT PIERCE. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE CONTINUALLY SEE IS MANY PEOPLE HAVE TROUBLE GETTING TO AND FROM WORK BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE TRANSPORTATION. AND THAT IS WHERE YOU ARE SO VALUABLE, THE TRANSIT IS SO VALUABLE. AND WHERE THE EXPANSION OF HAVING THEEXTENDED HOURS AND ALL THE THINGS YOU ARE TRYING TO DO . BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE WOULD BE ABLE TO HOLD A JOB IF THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE THE TRANSIT BE DEPENDABLE AND RIGHT FOR THEM AND BE ABLE TO GET TO AND FROM WORK. SO IT IS REALLY A VITAL THING YOU ARE PROVIDING. LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING. YOU TALKED ABOUT THE TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGE. FOR SENIORS, FOR SENIORS WHO DON'T DRIVE ANYMORE WHO NEED

INDIVIDUAL TRANSPORTATION, IS AFTER ONE OF THESE PROGRAMS? >>MURRIAH DEKLE: YES, MAN.

>>LISA HUDSON: WHICH PROGRAM IS IT. >>MURRIAH DEKLE: IF THEY DIDN'T HAVE A DISABILITY, MAYBE SOMEONE WHO IS ELDERLY FOR EXAMPLE.

THEY CAN USE OUR PARATRANSIT PROGRAM. IT'S A DOOR-TO-DOOR SERVICE.

IF THEY NEED HELP GETTING OUT THE DOOR OR MAYBE THEY NEED A WHEELCHAIR OR A LIFT, WE HAVE THAT.>LISA HUDSON: SO THEY CALL AND MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND THEN IF THEY ARE GOING TO

THE DOCTOR THEY ARRANGE FOR A RETURN TRIP? >> THAT'S CORRECT WHAT IS A RESERVATION BASED SYSTEM. WE WOULD NEED TO QUALIFY THEM. 772-462-1778 IS THE NUMBER THEY WILL CALL AND WE CAN SEND THEM AN APPLICATION, WE CAN HELP THEM WITH FILLING OUT THEIR

APPLICATION IT TAKES A COUPLE DAYS TURNAROUND. >> I THINK MANY SENIORS MIGHT NEED THAT HELP, IN WYOMING? THEY WOULD NEED HELP COMPLETING THEAPPLICATION .

AND I THINK WE NEED TO FIND A WAY TO MAKE SURE THEY HAVE ACCESS.

BECAUSE THAT'S A BENEFIT. THAT'S A BENEFIT THAT THEY DESERVE.

AND SOMETIMES THEY JUST DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO IT. SO YOU MIGHT THINK OF A WAY TO NOT ONLY ÃWE HAVE FOUND IN OTHER GRANT SITUATIONS THAT WE HAVE SOME PART OF OUR POPULATION WHO DON'T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY COULD HAVE BECAUSE IT IS TOO DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO NEGOTIATE CALLING AND THEN GETTING THE PAPERWORK AND THEY DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO A COMPUTER. AND THEY JUST NEED HELP FORGET AND SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT MAYBE YOU CAN THINK ABOUT IN THE FUTURE TOO.

>>MURRIAH DEKLE: THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FUNDS A PROGRAM CALLED TRAVEL TRAINING . SO IT IS JUST THAT BUT MRS. JONES CALLS IN, SHE NEEDS HELP FILLING OUT HER APPLICATION, UNDERSTANDING HOW TO USE THE SYSTEM.

SOMEBODY CAN GO AND RIDE THE BUS WITH HER AND GET A FAMILIAR.>LISA HUDSON: THAT'S GREAT. OKAY. OH GOOD.

EXCELLENT. SO EVERYBODY WAS LISTENING. KEEP TRACK OF THAT.

YOU HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT PROGRAMS.OMMISSIONER ALEXANDER, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING? GUESS NOT. ANYONE ELSE?

>>RUFUS J. ALEXANDER: HELLO QUICK. >>LISA HUDSON: YES, SIR?

>>RUFUS J. ALEXANDER: YES, I HAVE ONE QUESTION. AS FAR AS THE INNER MODEM, WE BUILT THAT WITH THE IDEA OF PARK AND RIDE. DO YOU THINK IT IS POSSIBLE

[00:40:04]

THAT WE CAN CONSIDER THAT AREA WITH THE PARK AND RIDE SO PEOPLE CAN COME THERE AND PARK AND CATCH THE BUS THEY DON'T HAVE TO DRIVE OR THEY TAKE MORE CARS OFF THE HIGHWAY? US ONE IS GETTING TO BE LATE. WE ARE BECOMING A NEW CITY AND TRANSPORTATION IS GOING TO BE A BIG PART OF IT. SO DO WE HAVE ANY THINK ABOUT SUCH?

>>LISA HUDSON: I THINK THERE IS PARK AND RIDE IN THE SOUTH PART OF THE COUNTY, BUT THERE'S NOT VERY MUCH PARKING IN THE INTERMODAL HERE ON AVENUE D, I DON'T BELIEVE.

THERE IS SOME PARKING. >>MURRIAH DEKLE: CORRECT. >>RUFUS J. ALEXANDER: THAT IS

WHAT I AM ASKING. >>LISA HUDSON: RIGHT. >>MURRIAH DEKLE: I THINK THAT COULD BE A VIABLE PROJECT FOR THE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING ORGANIZATION TO PUT IN MY LIST OF PROJECT PRIORITIES AND SCOPE IT OUT. THE PARKING RIGHT IN PORT ST.

LUCIE IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION RIGHT NOW BY GATLIN, WHICH IS GOING TO PROVIDE SERVICE TO PALM BEACH. BUT NO, THAT IS AN EXCELLENT POINT, COMMISSIONER.

THAT AREA COULD PROBABLY USE MORE PARKING SPACES AND PEOPLE WOULD BE ENCOURAGED TO USE IT

MORE. >>RUFUS J. ALEXANDER: WE HAVE VERY FEW APARTMENT SPACE AND SOME OF THE EMPLOYEES TAKE UP THOSE PARKS. BUT OKAY.

>>LISA HUDSON: DO YOU HAVE A PLACE OR A LOCATION FOR THE NEW FACILITY, THE NEW TRANSPORTATION? THE NEW HEADQUARTERS OR WHATEVER YOU ARE CALLING IT?

>> IT IS ON THE CORNER OUTSIDE YOUR JURISDICTION. IT IS SOUL OF ITS ROAD AND ENERGY DRIVE. NORTH OF MIDWAY, CORNER OF SOVIETS.

>>LISA HUDSON: SO KIND OF CENTRALLY LOCATED? >>RUFUS J. ALEXANDER: CENTRALLY LOCATED, WHICH IS WHY THE SITE WAS CITED UNTIL SOME YEARS AGO AND IT IS A COUNTY OWNED

PROPERTY. >>LISA HUDSON: IS GOING TO SAY THE COUNTY OWNS THAT PROPERTY BUT MET AMERICA QUICKLY TO READ COULD YOU REPEAT THAT PHONE NUMBER.

>> 772-462-1778.>> IS THERE A WEBSITE AS WELL? >>MURRIAH DEKLE: YES.

SLAC RIDE.ORG. >>LISA HUDSON: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSIONS? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND THANK YOU ALFONSO AND DIANA AND THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE

WITH US TONIGHT. >> NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ACCOMMODATIONS OF THE POLICE

[b. Recommendations of the Police Community Advisory Committee ]

COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE. >>LISA HUDSON: MR. MIMS, DO YOU HAVE A LEAD INTO THE.

>> I DO NOT RATABLY WE HAVE MR. CHARLIE HAYEK HERE. THAT WILL PROVIDE THIS

PRESENTATION. >>LISA HUDSON: WELCOME. >> GOOD EVENING MADAME MAYOR,

COMMISSIONERS, MEMBERS OF THE DAIS. >>LISA HUDSON: YOU MIGHT NEED TO GET A LITTLE CLOSER. SPOKE FERNANDINA STREET FORT PIERCE.FIRST OFF, I WOULD

LIKE TO APPROACH THE DAIS AND GIVE OUT A HANDOUT. >>LISA HUDSON: I THINK OF YOU

HAVE THEM TO THE CLERK SHE WILL GET THEM TO US. >> PERFECT.

>> THANK YOU. >> AS THERE WERE SEVERAL SPEAKERS HERE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING FROM NEW LEADERSHIP SOCIETY. THEY CAME BEFORE OUR ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING ON SEPTEMBER 10 AND DID A PRESENTATION. I BELIEVE THERE WAS ABOUT EIGHT IN THE GROUP AND EACH ONE OF THEM PRESENTED A CERTAIN PORTION OF THE DUKE MINERALIZATION OF MARIJUANA. THEY DID AN EXCELLENT JOB. THEY WERE VERY REASON TO.

THEIR FACTS WERE STRAIGHT AND IT WAS UPON US AS A COMMITTEE TO LOOK AT WHAT THEY HAD SAID AND COME TO SOME DECISIONS. PART OF THE PACKAGE I JUST HANDED YOU IS A NEWSPAPER ARTICLE THAT WAS IN OUR LOCAL TRIBUNE ON SATURDAY TALKING ABOUT THE HOUSE OF CONGRESS VOTING TO GO AHEAD AND DECRIMINALIZE MARIJUANA. IT'S GETTING TO BE WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE US. THE COMMITTEE LOOKED AT A NUMBER OF FLORIDA CITIES AND THEIR POLICIES OF HOW THEY DEAL WITH IT. THEY DECRIMINALIZED MARIJUANA.

BUT IT IS NOT FREE AND CLEAR. IF SOMEBODY IS CAUGHT WITH MARIJUANA, THE ISSUE A CITATION. VERY SIMILAR TO A TRAFFIC CITATION.

[00:45:05]

SOME OF THE CITIES DID LIKE $50 FOR THE FIRST OFFENSE, 100 FOR THE SECOND, 154 THE THIRD AND THEN IT MIGHT BE JAIL TIME. HOWEVER, THEY HAVE BEEN PUT ON NOTICE.OO MANY YOUNG KIDS TODAY GET ARRESTED FOR MARIJUANA PERMITTED AFFECTS THEIR JOB STATUS, THEIR ABILITY TO BE ACCEPTED INTO COLLEGE. SO WE HAVE TO REDO SOME OF THAT.

PLUS, THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MARIJUANA AND HEMP.

THE STATE PROSECUTORS DO NOT EVEN TAKE IT ANYMORE BECAUSE IT IS SO EXPENSIVE TO DO THE TESTS NECESSARY TO DETERMINE THE WHETHER IT IS MARIJUANA OR HEM .

SO WE HAVE DONE THE RESEARCH AND OUR COMMITTEE VOTED TO REQUEST THAT THE COMMISSION LOOK INTO THIS MATTER FURTHER. AND SEEING IF THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE CAN COME UP WITH A POLICY TRYING TO DECRIMINALIZE MARIJUANA. AND SO TO GIVE SUPPORT TO OUR YOUNG KIDS SO THEIR LIVES ARE NOT AFFECTED. THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO PROPOSE

TO THE COMMISSION. >>LISA HUDSON: ALREADY. UNTIL YOU HAVE ADDITIONAL PROPOSALS TOO, RIGHT? SHOULD WE DISCUSS THIS NOW BEFORE YOU GO ON TO YOUR

ADDITIONAL? >> WE ARE NOT EVEN ASKING YOU DISCUSS IT NOW.

PERHAPS THE CITY MANAGER SHOULD TAKE IN AND DO SOME RESEARCH ON WHAT OTHER COMMUNITY ARE DOING IN AND AROUND OUR AREA. BECAUSE THEY ALREADY HAVE POLICIES IN PLACE.

BECAUSE WE LOOKED AT MOST OF THE POLICIES AND WE SAW SOME GOOD ONES.

SOME WERE NOT SO GREAT. BUT IT IS SOMETHING I THINK FORT PIERCE SHOULD DO.

IT WOULD BE A REAL HELP TO OUR YOUNG FOLKS AND TO OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE IT WOULD

REDUCE THE NUMBER OF ISSUES THEY WOULD HAVE. >>LISA HUDSON: RIGHT.

ALREADY. >> THE SECOND ITEM I WANTED TO DISCUSS THAT OUR COMMITTEE BROUGHT UP WAS THAT WE WOULD LIKE, YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU A PROPOSED SURVEY.

THE ONLY WAY OUR COMMITTEE CAN DETERMINE WHETHER OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT IS DOING A GOOD JOB OR A BAD JOB IS TO FIND OUT WHAT THE COMMUNITIES FEELINGS ARE ABOUT OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT. SO WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE SURVEY PUT ON THE CITY WEBSITE BY STAFF SO THAT WE CAN GET SOME FEEDBACK OF WHAT THE COMMUNITY FEELS.

SO WE ARE JUST REQUESTING THAT THE COMMISSION APPROVED TO MOVE FORWARD AND LEAD US IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CITY STAFF PUT THAT ON THE CITY WEBSITE. IT'S NOT THE FINAL DRAFT.

WE HAVE A COUPLE OF CHANGES, BUT THAT IS BASICALLY WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO RIGHT THERE.

>>LISA HUDSON: MY MEMORY IS YOU BASED IT ON ANOTHER SURVEY? ANOTHER SURVEY THAT WAS DON IN OTHER PLACES? I THINK I HAVE HEARD THAT. AND YOU TAILORED IT FOR FORT

PIERCE? RIGHT. >> WE HAVE A NUMBER OF SAMPLES THAT WE USED. WE TOOK THE GOOD AND THE BAD IN EVERYTHING.

>>LISA HUDSON: RIGHT. OKAY. >> IF YOU WILL APPROVE THAT TO MOVE FORWARD, THEN WE CAN WORK WITH CITY STAFF TO GET THEM THE FINAL COPY .

>>LISA HUDSON: OKAY. COMMISSIONER PERONA? >>THOMAS K. PERONA: YOU HAVE A SURVEY AND YOU GET FOLKS THAT RESPOND TO THE SURVEY. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH THE DATA? WE HAVE ALL THIS, HOPEFULLY THE SURVEY TALKS ABOUT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND HOW WE CAN MAKE IT BETTER OR THE GOOD THINGS THAT WE DO WELL AND ALL THAT TYPE OF STUFF. BUT SURVEYS NEED TO HAVE A REASON, FOR ME ESPECIALLY.

NOT THAT I AM NOT AGAINST IT OR ANYTHING. I JUST WANT TO KNOW FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE, WANT TO GET THE SERVICE WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH THE SURVEYS? IS YOUR COMMITTEE GOING TO TAKE A LOOK AT THEM? OR IS THIS GOING TO BE GIVEN TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT OR IS THIS GOING TO BE GIVEN TO THE COMMISSION OR THE CITY MANAGER?

>> OUR JOB AS A CITIZENS COMMITTEE IS TO DETERMINE THE POSITIVES AND THE NEGATIVES OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. AND WE ARE SUPPOSED TO WORK IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CITY COMMISSION. SO YES, WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT THOSE SURVEYS.

AND IF AN OFFICERS ATTITUDES ARE POOR AND THAT IS MARKED A LOT, WE WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE POLICE CHIEF AND SAY CHIEF, WE NEED TO CHANGE SOME OF THE ATTITUDES.

WE NEED TO WORK ON THE TRAINING NECESSARY TO GET THOSE OFFICERS IN LINE.

THIS IS WHAT THE PEOPLE ARE SAYING. THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE GOT TO

[00:50:02]

WATCH. SO LESS YOU GET A SURVEY AND YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOOD OR BAD,

YOU CAN'T FIX SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW IS NOT WORKING. >> I HAVE DONE SURVEYS BEFORE FOR DIFFERENT THINGS. HE HAVE TO REALLY THINK THROUGH THEM VERY WELL.

BECAUSE HE OF THE ENVISION WHAT THE RESPONSE IS GOING TO BE. AND I DON'T MEAN IT'S GOING TO BE GOOD OR BAD, BUT YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE IT AND KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO WITH THE INFORMATION BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE. I SEE YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUT YOUR NAME OR ADDRESS OR ANYTHING ELSE LIKE THAT. IS A BLIND SURVEYS THAT JUST COME IN. YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOME CONTROL AND BEING ABLE TO TAKE THAT INFORMATION . BEFORE YOU GO TO THE POLICE CHIEF AND SAY HEY, WE HAVE ALL THE SURVEYS THAT SAY POLICE OFFICERS HAVE NOT BEEN POLITE, HAVE IT DONE THEIR JOB PROPERLY AND THINGS LIKE THAT. AND I NEED TO KNOW IS THAT A RESPONSE FROM SOMEBODY THAT JUST GOT PULLED OVER FOR A DUI OR SOMETHING ELSE LIKE THAT? WE REALLY HAVE TO BE ABLE TO THINK THROUGH THOSE QUESTIONS AND MAKE SURE WHAT WE HAVE COMING IN IS VALUABLE TO WHAT YOU GUYS ARE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH AND THAT BECOMES A TOOL FOR THE CITY.

I'M NOT TRYING TO BE CRITICAL ON THIS, BUT I'M TELLING YOU IT IS IMPORTANT WE ENVISION WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO WITH THESE BEFORE IT EVEN HITS HER WEBSITE.

WE GET THOSE IN THERE, WE HAVE TO BE CONFIDENT THAT THE INFORMATION WE HAVE IS SOMETHING IMPORTANT ENOUGH AND REAL ENOUGH THAT WE CAN MAKE CHANGES FOR THAT.

AND I'M GOING TO QUESTION THOSE ALL THE WAY TO THE CHIEFS OFFICE.

I HAVE SEEN SOME SURVEYS WERE THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO RESPOND TO THE SURVEYS OR THOSE WHO ARE UNHAPPY. I WANT ALL PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO GET IN THERE.

TO MAKE THE QUESTIONS SHORTER, GET THE SURVEYS GOING ON. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE TRENDS. TALK TO YOUR COMMITTEE ABOUT HOW YOU WERE GOING TO DECIPHER SOME OF THE INFORMATION SO THAT IT IS A VALUABLE TOOL TO THE CITY.

THAT'S MY COMMENT. >> I UNDERSTAND IT PERFECTLY. >>LISA HUDSON: VERY GOOD POINT.

IT IS NOT SCIENTIFIC. AND SO YOU HAVE TO BE AWARE THAT IF YOU JUST PUT IT OUT THERE ANYBODY CAN ANSWER, YOU COULD HAVE FREQUENTFLYERS . IN THOSE FREQUENT FLYERS COULD FILL OUT A LOT OF THOSE SURVEY . ANYBODY ELSE.

>> JUST A COUPLE. >>LISA HUDSON: COMMISSIONER JEREMIAH JOHNSON IS GOING TO

SPEAK AND THEN COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER. >> THANK YOU, MA'AM.

I AGREE WITH COMMISSIONER PERONA THAT THERE IS A LOT OF INFORMATION HERE AND THERE IS A LOT OF DATA THAT CAN BE TAKEN IN. AND THAT IS THE IMPORTANT PART WE ARE LOOKING FOR. I KNOW YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THAT.

SO I DID A QUICK TEST WHEN I FIRST LOOK AT THAT AND I SAID OKAY AND BECAUSE A LOT OF ISSUES ARE CONVEYED TO US ALL THE TIME ABOUT SAFETY SECURITY COME POLICE DEPARTMENT ACTIVITIES, WHATEVER IT IS. AND THEY ARE USUALLY RANDOM COMMENTS, RIGHT? SO MY TEST WAS WHAT ABOUT TRAFFIC MOVING VIOLATIONS. I DIDN'T EVEN SEE SPEEDING ON THE LIST. WE GET A LOT OF PHONE CALLS ABOUT THAT.

AND MAYBE IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT IT IN THIS TYPE ATMOSPHERE.

I DON'T WANT TO GET IN THE WEEDS OF WHAT IT IS, BUT I WANTED TO SHARE THAT ONE PIECE WITH YOU. TO SAY TRAFFIC ISSUES. OUT OF THE GUYS SAW IT ON HERE.

MAYBE I MISSED IT. BUT THAT IS JUST AN IDEA. DID YOU MENTION THAT ONE?

>> I DON'T KNOW IF THE SURVEY IS GEARED TOWARD WHAT KIND OF OFFENSES DO PEOPLE WANT TO SEE ENFORCED MORE. LIKE SPEEDING OR THIS. WE ARE TRYING TO GET THE

COMMUNITIES ATTITUDES TOWARD POLICE PERSONNEL. >> SURE.

SO THE ATTITUDE IS GOING TO BE LIKE THEY ARENOT IN THE STREET MONITORING .

>> RIGHT. ARE WE HIRING THE RIGHT OFFICERS? DO WE HAVE THE RIGHT PEOPLE IN PLACE. DO WE NEED TO LOOK AT A CERTAIN ASPECT OF THEIR ABILITY AND SAY THAT IS NOT THE RIGHT PERSON WE SHOULD HIRE.

AND IN KEEPING WITH WHAT WE HAVE TO DO WITH OUR POLICE FORCE.

>> AND I DON'T DISAGREE BY ANY MEANS. RECENTLY I DID THE COUNTIES, I THINK THEY'RE DOING THE PARKS MASTER PLAN. I DID THERE PARKS MASTER PLAN.

IT TOOK ME ABOUT 5 TO 8 MINUTES PROBABLY. IT WAS ABOUT EIGHT MINUTES MAX.

DID YOU TIME YOURSELF, DID YOU ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I HAVEN'T DONE IT YET TO READ HOW LONG DO YOU THINK THIS ONE WILL TAKE? ANY IDEA?

>> IT'S GOING TO TAKE AT LEAST 3 TO 4 MINUTES BUT I DON'T WANT TO LOSE THE ATTENTION SPAN FOR THAT PART OF THIS PROCESS IS MAKING SURE WE REALLY CONDENSE IT AND GET THEM BROUGHT ISSUES LIKE YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT OUT IN THE FOREFRONT. TO GATHER THAT DATA AND TAKE IT

[00:55:06]

AND DISCUSS IT AMONGST YOUR COMMITTEE AND WHAT WE HAVE HERE.

THERE ARE 25 QUESTIONS BUT I THINK THAT IS REASONABLE. BUT IT SEEMS A LITTLE LENGTHY.

IT IS A LITTLE LENGTHY. >> IT IS JUST A DRAFT. >> IT IS TOUGH.

IT IS TOUGH TO WORDSMITH THESE THINGS AND BRING IT DOWN SO THAT YOU COVER THE GENERAL TOPICS THAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR. YOU CAN GET THAT RELEVANT DATA

BACK INTO PLAY. >>LISA HUDSON: IF YOU DO GO ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, IT SHOULD BE SHORTER. COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER? P2 YES.I JUST WANT TO SAY I AGREE WITH COMMISSIONER PERONA. WE NEED TO REACH ALL PEOPLE OF THE CITY.

AND I KNOW WE CAN'T DO THAT, BUT AT LEAST WE CAN HAVE OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT TO BE PROACTIVE. INSTEAD OF WAITING ON TO BE BEATEN ON THE POLICE.

NOW, THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DOWNGRADE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, WHAT DO YOU THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DO? THEY ARE GOING TO DO JUST THAT. TO MY CONCERN IS THIS IS A GOOD IDEA IN A WAY, BUT 25 QUESTIONS? HOW ARE YOU GOING TO THINK THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE MOST CONTACT WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, HOW DO YOU THINK THEY ARE GOING TO RESPOND. HOW TO GET THE INFORMATION OUT TO THEM TO RESPOND.

YOU KNOW, WE JUST HAVE TO WORK ON THIS TOGETHER. BUT I DON'T WANT TO SET THE POLICE DEPARTMENT UP TO HAVE EGGS THROWN AT THEM. THAT'S NOT THE WAY TO DO IT.

THE WAY TO DO IT IS SOME OF THE COMMUNITY HELP THAT ARE POLICE DEPARTMENT DOES LIKE HALLOWEEN AND CHRISTMAS. IT GOES BEYOND THEN. I JUST THINK MAYBE WE NEED TO GET INTO THE NUTS AND BOLTS OF IT. AND JUST BE PARTICULAR ABOUT

WHAT AGE WE CONSIDER. THAT'S ALL. >>LISA HUDSON: THANK YOU.

COMMISSIONER CURTIS JOHNSON. >> I TEND TO AGREE WITH THE FELLOW COMMISSIONERS HEARINGS WITH THIS IS A PERSON THAT HAS DONE ACTUAL VALIDITY TESTING AND ACTUAL SURVEYING.

THE LENGTH OF THIS IS MAY BE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO LOOK AT THE TRYING TO PARE DOWN.

HAVE YOU LOOKED AT ANY PARTNERSHIPS WITH OUR HIGHER INSTITUTION OF LEARNING IN ANY OF THOSE DEPARTMENTS OVER THERE THAT HAVE ACTUALLY DESIGNED SURVEYS TO BUILD ON THE OVERALL CONCEPT TO SEE IF THEY CAN LEND SOME EXPERTISE? MAYBE THERE ARE PSYCHOLOGISTS OVER THERE, SOME PEOPLE IN THE STATISTICS DEPARTMENT THAT CAN HELP YOU.

THIS DOWN? 25 QUESTIONS TENDS TO BE A LITTLE LONG.

SO THAT IS MY CONCERN. HAVE YOU LOOKED INTO THAT, ANY OF THAT?

>> NO, SIR. BUT IF YOU COULD POINT US IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

>> HAPPEN TO KNOW A GUY BY THE NAME OF DOCTOR TIM MOORE BUT HE IS MADE A VERY OPEN THAT WEWANT A PARTNERSHIP . LET ME SEE WHAT I CAN DO, BUT I WOULD ENCOURAGE WE LOOKAT PARTNERING WITH THE COLLEGE . I TEND TO AGREE WITH COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER THAT WE WANT TO GET INFORMATION THAT IS HELPFUL AND USEFUL TO HELP US UNDERSTAND.

THAT'S THE FIRST CONCERN FOR THE SECOND CONCERN IS WE TALKED ABOUT PLACING THIS ON THE CITY WEBSITE. WHAT IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE WEBSITE OR ACCESSED WEBSITE CAPABILITIES. SO HAVE WE LOOKED INTO CAN WE GET THIS DISPERSED IN OTHER WAYS OR PAPER FORM FOR AND THAT WILL ADD MORE WORK, OBVIOUSLY. BECAUSE HE HAD TO PHYSICALLY CALCULATE THAT. SO AGAIN, THE SURVEY DESIGN IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO BE ABLE TO QUICKLY CALCULATE THE FEEDBACK. ON A 25 QUESTION SURVEY RIGHT NOW COMING BACK WITH THIS, IT'S HARD TO CALCULATE. YOUR COMMITTEE WOULD SPEND HALF THE YEAR TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE DATA. AND SO MY RECOMMENDATION IS THAT WE LOOK AT THAT AND PARE IT DOWN. TO THINK ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY THAT WE REALLY WANT FEEDBACK FROM AND CAN THIS BE OF PURCHASER VERSION 1 PAGE AND CAN WE CIRCULATE THAT TO COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS IN OUR CHURCHES TO BEGIN TO GET THAT

[01:00:02]

FEEDBACK. BECAUSE WE NEED THE PARTNERSHIPS.

>> WE HAD ALREADY THOUGHT ABOUT THAT.ND WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR ABOUT A YEAR.

IN FACT, WE WERE ALL GEARED AT THE BEGINNING OF 2020. THE LOCATIONS ALL SET UP.

WE WERE GOING TO GO TO VARIOUS LOCATIONS AROUND THE CITY WITH THE SURVEY AND HAVE A TOWN HALL MEETING ROLL OUT THE SURVEY. WE HAD ALL OF THAT IN PLACE. AND THEN COVID HIT.

SO THAT'S WHY WE ARE NOW LOOKING FOR THE CITY WEBSITE IS ANOTHER TOOL THAT WE CAN USE.

>> MY CONCERN WOULD BE THE STOPGAP. EVEN WITH COVID AND WE ARE ALL CHALLENGED WITH TECHNOLOGY TO SAY WE ARE STILL MISSING THE GAS AND PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE ACCESS ARE CHALLENGED WITH THE FULL UTILIZATION OF TECHNOLOGY. WHEN WE DO THIS TYPE OF STUFF, I REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE WE CAN GET EVERY PERSON AN OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE US THAT FEEDBACK. FROM AGE 18 TO 80 WE NEED THAT FEEDBACK.

AND SO WE NEED TO CHALLENGE OURSELVES TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN DO THAT.

EVEN IF WE HAVE TO DISPERSE IT THROUGH SOME ORGANIZATIONS THAT CAN GET IT TO THE SENIOR PEOPLE OF THE COMMUNITY. AND THAT WOULD BE A CONCERN. LET'S SEE WHAT WE CAN LOOK AT FROM THE COLLEGE PERSPECTIVE. BECAUSE THERE HAS TO BE SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP US WAS WAY MORE

SMARTER THAN I AM WHEN IT COMES TO SURVEY DESIGN. >>LISA HUDSON: AND ALSO THEY HAVE THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMPLEX OUT THERE TOO. THEY HAVE THEIR OWN ACADEMIC PROJECT GOING THERE THAT MIGHT BE HELPFUL. AND DOCTOR MOORE, I'VE MET HIM, HE IS A NEW COLLEGE PRESIDENT. HE IS SO EAGER TO BE PARTNERING WITH FORT PIERCE IN THE COUNTY.

THIS IS A COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND HE REALLY WANTS THIS TO BE A COMMUNITY COLLEGE, WHICH IS REALLY ÃI AM HAPPY ABOUT HIS ENTHUSIASM. ANYTHING ELSE? ANYTHING ELSE? THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK.

> THANKS TO THE COMMITTEE. >> MADAME MAYOR? I KNOW THAT YOU ALL HEARD THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE COME POLICE ADVISORY COMMITTEE. IS THERE AN DIRECTION TO STAFF?

>> WELL, ON THE FIRST RECOMMENDATION, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MORE SPECIFIC INFORMATION ABOUT IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE USUAL DECRIMINALIZATION IS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MARIJUANA POSSESSION. THAT IS MY UNDERSTANDING. BUT I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT THE SUBJECT EXCEPT SINCE I SERVE ON THE ROUNDTABLE I DO KNOW THAT THE ROUND TABLE HAS DRUG-FREE ST. LUCIE. AND THEY ARE TRYING TO ENCOURAGE YOUNG PEOPLE NOT TO USE MARIJUANA OR ALCOHOL. AND SO I DON'T WANT TO BE IN A POSITION OF ENCOURAGING IT, BUT I ALSO DON'T WANT TO BE IN A POSITION OF ÃI WANT TO HELP THESE YOUNG PEOPLE IN TERMS OF THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. AND SO I NEED TO KNOW BOTH SIDES OF THAT EQUATION AND HOW THE POLICE DEPARTMENT FEELS ABOUT IT. AND SO I JUST NEED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT IT. ANYONE ELSE? COMMISSIONER PERONA?

>>THOMAS K. PERONA: I AGREE WITH YOU, MAYOR. THERE'S A RESPONSIBILITY HERE.

THE WORLD HAS CHANGED SINCE 10 YEARS AGO OR LONGER THAN THAT WHEN I WAS A YOUNG MAN.

BUT I THINK THERE IS A RESPONSIBILITY FOR US TO ADD LEAST TAKE A LOOK AT IT.

HAVE STAFF TAKE A LOOK AND SEE WHAT OTHER COMMUNITIES ARE RESPONDING IN THIS WAY.

SPEAK TO OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT, ABLE TO GET SOMEBODY TO WEIGH IN ON ALL OF THIS STUFF.

TO BE ABLE TO COME UP WITH AN IDEA. MAY BE A PLAN.

WE'VE HEARD FROM THE YOUTH OF OUR COMMUNITY, BUT I THINK IT IS MORE THAN THE YOUTH.

OUR COMMUNITY IS SPEAKING TO US. I ALWAYS THINK ABOUT WHEN WE BROUGHT IN THE CLINICS FOR MEDICAL MARIJUANA IN THE COMMUNITY AND IT SAYS OH, HERE WE GO, WILL NEVER GET THIS PAST. WE HAD A BUNCH OF ELDERLY PEOPLE IN THE CHAMBERS HERE. AND EVERY ONE OF THOSE ELDERLY PEOPLE SPOKE IN FAVOR OF IT.

AND I SAID OH MY GOD. I GOT EDUCATED THEN. [LAUGHTER] EVEN AS OLDER PEOPLE GET EDUCATED. THIS IS A NEW WORLD WE ARE IN AND WE CAN'T KEEP OUR HEAD IN THE SAND. WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER AND THAT IS WHAT WE NEED. SO I WOULD RECOMMEND WE ASK STAFF TO TAKE A LOOK AND SEE WHAT OTHER COMMUNITIES ARE DOING IN RESPONSE TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND OTHER RELATED DEPARTMENTS THAT WOULD BE INVOLVED WITH

[01:05:06]

THIS AND BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO THE COMMISSION ON OUR OPTIONS AND TO BE ABLE TO LET US

DELIBERATE FROM THAT POINT. >>LISA HUDSON: COMMISSIONER JAY JOHNSON AND THEN COMMISSIONER

ALEXANDER. >> I AGREE. I THINK SOME OF THE DATA THAT I NEED HIS INFORMATION FROMTHE P.D. ABOUT OUR OWN CITY. LIKE, WHAT IS OUR RATE ? WHAT DO WE RUN INTO EVERY DAY? WHAT DO WE SEE AT BROCK ROAD JAIL ON A DAY IN AND DAY OUT BASIS TO READ AND THEN OF COURSE THE OTHER DRAFT ORDINANCES WERE THE OTHER INSTITUTED IN OUR NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES. JUST TO SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING.

OBVIOUSLY AS WE KNOW IT IS NOT JUST THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE. WE HAVE TO BE ÃNOT IN STEP WITH OTHERS, BUT IT WOULD NICE TO BE ABLE TO GET THAT EDUCATION ASPECT BUT ESPECIALLY THE DATA FROM OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT. SO I CAN HAVE A COMPARABLE.

>>LISA HUDSON: WRIGHTWOOD COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER? >>RUFUS J. ALEXANDER: YES.

YOU KNOW, JUST TRYING TO KEEP IN STEP WITH OTHER CITIES THAT'S DIFFERENT FROM OUR OWN.

BECAUSE WE SHOULD HAVE TO LOOK INTO THE EYES OF THESE YOUNG PEOPLE SPEAKING FROM MORE EXPERIENCE THAN WE ARE. BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN DRUG-FREE FOR SO MANY YEARS.

SO THEY POINT A FINGER, WE POINT A FINGER. BUT MY CONCERN IS THAT A BAG OF MARIJUANA, THIS GROUP THE KIDS LIVES, YOU KNOW? AND WHEN YOU ARE SPEAKING ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF MARIJUANA, THAT IS NOT THE POINT RIGHT NOW. THE POINT IS TO BE WANT THIS IN OUR SYSTEM.UT I RATHER HAVE THAT IN THE SYSTEM THAN TO HAVE MIGHT YOUNG 15 AND 16-YEAR-OLD KIDS IN THE SYSTEM WHAT THEY CALL UNDER POLICE ARREST FOR A FIVE DOLLAR BAG OF MARIJUANA IN. AND THAT IS LIKE NOT ONLY THE YOUNG PEOPLE THAT AFFECTS THE OLD PEOPLE, THE ELDERLY. BECAUSE WHO HAS TO PAY FOR THE LAWYERS.

IN THIS TO PAY FOR BAILING THEM OUT OF JAIL. THE PARENTS AND THE GRANDPARENTS. AND OUR GRANDPARENTS REALLY ARE STILL OVER OUR YOUNG PEOPLES LIVES. SO MANY OF THEM HAVE GRANDPARENTS IN THEIR LIFE.

AND THANK GOD FOR THAT. BUT I THINK WE NEED TO APPROACH IT AS A NEW CITY AS A SPEAK OF IN THE PAST THAT WE GIVE THESE YOUNG PEOPLE A CHANCE. THERE ARE NO JOBS OUT THERE.

WE ARE NOT ADVOCATING THEM TO DO WRONG IN THAT, BUT AT LEAST LOOK INTO WHAT THEY ARE ASKING.

AT LEAST RESPECT THAT MUCH FROM OUR YOUNG PEOPLE. BECAUSE THEY ARE, ONE DAY THEY WILL BE LIKE MRS. JOHNSON. YOU KNOW, A YOUNGSTER. BUT THE THING IS, HE IS GROWN

NO. >>LISA HUDSON: THANK YOU. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING COMING

DOWN. >> ADMIN SUPPORT, MADAME MAYOR. MR. MANAGER, CITY MANAGER, I THINK AS WE LOOK TO THE NORTH TO SOME OF THE CITIES UP THERE, SOME OF THE ORDINANCES THEY RECENTLY PUT IN PLACE, I THINK IT WOULD BE A GOODEDUCATION EXERCISE .

AND I THINK WE NEED TO ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY IN A WAY THAT ONCE WE BRING THIS IN WE FIND A WAY TO HEAR FROM THE COMMUNITY AS WELL. WE HEAR FROM OUR YOUNG PEOPLE AND THAT IS GREAT, BUT THERE MAY BE OTHERS OUT THERE IN SUPPORT OF THIS WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE LISTENING AND THAT WE MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION. LSO, I'M PARTICULARLY CURIOUS AS TO THE CITY SOUTH OF US. WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING AT HOW THEY APPROACH THIS CONVERSATIO . WHEN I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS MYSELF, I HAVE FOUND SOME THINGS FROM THE NORTHERN CITIES, THE SMALLER CITIES LIKE SEBASTIAN, BELIEVE OR NOT.

AND INDIAN RIVER COUNTY ETC. BUT I'VE NOT HEARD MUCH FROM THE SOUTH.

AND CURIOUS TO SEE WHERE THEY ARE WITH THIS. >>LISA HUDSON: INTERESTING.

OKAY.OU HAVE DIRECTION BUT YES, MA'AM. IT APPEARS WE NEED TO HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION DATA, DRAFT ORDINANCES THAT WE CAN LOOK AT AS TO HOW THEY WERE NOT ONLY CREATED BUT IMPLEMENTED AS WELL. IN ADDITION, WOULD YOU LIKE STAFF TO ALSO WORK WITH THE POLICE COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND GENERATE A SURVEY

[01:10:01]

OR SOME SORT OF COMMUNITY INPUT METHODOLOGY TO GAIN INPUT FROM THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY? BECAUSE I HAVE TO AGREE WITH YOU, 25 QUESTIONS IS WAY TOO MUCH.

THE WEBSITE DOES NOT CAPTURE THE MASSES OF OUR POPULATION AND I BELIEVE THERE IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE SOME ACTUAL IN PERSON AND FOOTWORK INVOLVED IF WE ARE GOING TO GET A TRUE REPRESENTATION OF OUR DEMOGRAPHIC. TO INCLUDE OUR YOUTH BY THE WAY

OF OUR CHILDREN, OUR TEENAGERS AND COLORED STUDENTS. >>LISA HUDSON: AGREED.

AND WE DO A LOT OF SURVEYING ON THE CITY WEBSITE. CHEYENNE IS OUR SURVEY.

>> IT'S MULTIPLE FOLKS, BUT WE LIMIT THOSE QUESTIONS. AFTER FIVE QUESTIONS WE ARE BORN. SAID 25 QUESTION IS WAY TOO MUCH.

>>LISA HUDSON: RIGHT. IT IS NOT SCIENTIFIC. IT'S ONLY SOMEBODY WHO HAS A COMPUTER WHO MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN THE TOPIC AND WHATEVER.

YOU DON'T GET A WHOLE COMMUNITY FUEL, YOU JUST GET A CERTAIN PART OF THE COMMUNITY.

THE BACK ON THE MARIJUANA, I THINK THAT WE ALSO WANTED SOME STRONG INPUT FROM OUR OWN POLICE DEPARTMENT SPOKE ABSOLUTELY. YES,MA'AM .

>> MADAME MAYOR, ON THE SURVEY AND TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE COLLEGE.

I HAVE SEEN SOME SURVEYS WHERE THEY HIT THE FIVE QUESTIONS OR MAYBE SEVEN OR EIGHT QUESTIONS, BUT THEN IT SAYS WOULD YOU LIKE TO PROCEED ANDANSWER THESE ADDITIONAL DETAILED QUESTIONS .

THOSE ARE ALWAYS OPPORTUNITIES TO GATHER MORE INFORMATION. CAPTURE THE FIRST LITTLE BIT AND GET IT SO NO ONE GETS BOAR . I WILL WALK YOU THROUGH IT Ã NO, I'M GETTING. [LAUGHTER] I CAN READ IT TO YOU.

I'M TEASING, I'M TEASING. BUT THAT IS A GREAT IDEA WITH THE COLLEGE.

WE HAVE SOME SHARP FOLKS OVER THERE THAT CAN REALLY HELP US OUT.

SO I AM IN AGREEMENT THAT WE PUSH FORWARD AND HAVE STAFF DO THIS BOOK WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO GIVE YOU DOCTOR TIM MORRIS NUMBER. [LAUGHTER] ABSOLUTELY PUBLIC

AND DOCTOR MOORE, IF YOU ARE LISTENING FOR YOU. >>LISA HUDSON: HE CAME TO THE CITY HALL AND MET WITH MR. MIMS AND I. AND SO HE IS OUT THERE. OKAY, ARE WE DONE ON THIS

[11. CONSENT AGENDA]

TOPIC? LET'S MOVE ON. !

THE NEXT ITEM IS THE CONSENT AGENDA. >>LISA HUDSON: IS THERE ANY

ITEM IN THE COMMISSIONER WOULD LIKE TO PULL FROM THE CONSENT. >> MADAME MAYOR.

>>LISA HUDSON: YES, SIR . >> BEFORE WE GET STARTED, CAN YOU ASK A QUESTION ? I'M LOOKING AT THESE REQUESTS FOR REDUCTIONS AND THEY ARE ALL ASKING REDUCTION ON HARD COSTS.

AND AT THE END OF EACH LINE IT SAYS IT HAS TO BE VOTED BY THE COMMISSIONER.

BUT YET IT IS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED ON THAT.

COULD DANCE THAT BEFORE I GIVE MY CHOICE. >>LISA HUDSON: THE WAY I INTERPRET THAT LANGUAGE IS THAT TO REDUCE THE HARD COST IS SOMETHING STAFF CAN'T MAKE THAT DECISION ALONE THAT THE COMMISSION MUST MAKE THE DECISION ON.

AND THINK THAT IS WHY THAT LANGUAGE IS THERE . >>RUFUS J. ALEXANDER: I KNOW THEY CAN MAKE THEIR DECISION, BUT YOU PUT ON THE CONSENT AGENDA THAT THAT GIVES THE APPLICANT ÃWHAT CHANCE DID THEY GIVE THE APPLICANT TO DO AS THE GENTLEMAN DID IN THE

BEGINNING OF THE MEETING. >>LISA HUDSON: A COMMISSIONER WOULD HAVE TO PULL IT ONE OF

THE ITEMS ARE ALL OF THE ITEMS. >>RUFUS J. ALEXANDER: I DON'T WANT TO PULL ALL OF THE ITEMS BECAUSE IT'S JUST REPETITION. AND THAT IS WHY I AM ASKING. WE NOT EVEN ADDRESSING THE HARD COSTS IN THESE ITEMS, ARE WE? WE ARE NOT GIVING THEM THE PERMISSION OR TRADITION OR

REDUCTION THAT LEAVES MOST OF THEM AT $100 OR SOMETHING. >>LISA HUDSON: YEAH.

I THINK THAT WE HAVE A STAFF RECOMMENDATION FOR REDUCTION IN THE WE HAVE THE APPLICANT OR THE PERSON WHO IS ASKING FOR FURTHER SPEED TO BOTH OF THEM IN THE SAMEPARAGRAPH .

SO HOW CAN WE ANSWER THE APPLICANT TONIGHT OR WE CAN ADDRESS THE STAFF.

HOW CAN WE ADDRESS THE APPLICANT? WE LET HIM GO OUT THE DOOR

THINKING THAT HE HAS GOTTEN THIS. >>LISA HUDSON: THAT IS UP TO

THE COMMISSION. COMMISSIONER JOHNSON? >>JEREMIAH JOHNSON: SO TO BUILD

[01:15:01]

ON THAT. IF WE WERE JUST TO VOTE FOR THE CONSENT, IT WOULD GO FORWARD WITH APPROVAL WITH STAFFS RECOMMENDATION. NOT WHAT THE APPLICANTS REQUES

. >> THAT IS CORRECT. IF WE WERE TO FLAT APPROVE IT.

OTHERWISE WE NEED TO PULL IT INTO A SEPARATE VOTE ON EACH ITEM.

>>LISA HUDSON: THAT IS THE WAY I UNDERSTAND IT. DID YOU GET THAT, COMMISSIONER

ALEXANDER QUICK. >>RUFUS J. ALEXANDER: YES, IGOT THAT.

>>LISA HUDSON: OKAY. >>RUFUS J. ALEXANDER: 21 PULL ONE ITEM.

ITEM HE . E. ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO PULL ANY ITEM?

THEN I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION FOR THE CONSENT AGENDA. >> SO MOVED.

>> SECOND. >>LISA HUDSON: MOTION AND SECOND FOR THE BALANCE OF THE CONSENT AGENDA EXCEPT FOR ITEM E. CALLED A ROLL, PLEASE PUT COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER.

>> YES.> COMMISSIONER C >> IS.N. >> COMMISSIONER JAY JOHNSON.

[e. Approval to piggyback the US Communities Contract #15-JLP-023 for the purchase of one (1) Trane Air-Cooled Chiller - Scroll Compressors Model Number CGAM100A2** in accordance with the attached quote for the Sunrise Theatre, in an amount not to exceed $70,435.00.]

>> YES, MA'AM. >> COMMISSIONER PERONA. >> YES, MA'AM.

>> MAYOR HUDSON. >>LISA HUDSON: YES, MA'AM.> ITEM 11 E IS APPROVAL TO PIGGYBACK THE US COMMUNITIES CONTRACT FOR THE PURCHASE OF ONE TRAIN AIR COOLED CHAIR ALERT SCROLL COMPRESSORS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ATTACHED QUOTE FOR THE SUNRISE THEATER

IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $70,435. >>LISA HUDSON: ALREADY.

MR. MIMS?ERE COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER . >>RUFUS J. ALEXANDER: LET'S LET

MIMS GO AHEAD AND HE MAY ANSWER MY QUESTION. >> OKAY.

THIS ITEM IS FOR THE ACQUISITION AND INSTALLATION OF A CHILLER UNIT THAT WILL REPLACE AN EXISTING UNIT THAT IS NOT OPERATING AT ITS BEST CAPACITY.

THE SUNRISE THEATER, AS YOU KNOW, IT'S A VERY OLD FACILITY AND ASSERT ANTIQUATED EQUIPMENT. AND FROM TIME TO TIME WE HAVE TO INVEST IN THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO OPTIMIZE OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY. SO THIS $70,000 THAT IS GOING TO BE UTILIZED TO PURCHASE AND INSTALL THIS PIECE OF EQUIPMENT COMES DIRECTLY FROM THE CAPITAL FUND THAT WAS BUILT BY TICKET SALES AND IT IS A RESTRICTED REVENUE FUND DIRECTLY AND RESTRICTED TO THE SUNRISE THEATER NO GENERAL FUNDS MONIES WERE FPR MONIES WILL BE UTILIZED FOR THESE A RESTRICTED FUND DOLLARS THAT WERE GENERATED BY THE SUNRISE THEATER. SO THAT IS THE BACKGROUND FOR THIS PARTICULAR ITEM.

>>LISA HUDSON: COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER. >>RUFUS J. ALEXANDER: THAT DOESN'T ANSWER MY QUESTION, BUT AS FAR AS IN THE PAST IT BEEN THERE FOR A LONG TIME.

WE REPLACED OTHER ITEMS CONCERNING THE.

SO THE HOME FROM FEMA-BASED FLOOD ELEVATION IS 34.4 FEET IN HEIGHT FROM BASE ELEVATION IT WOULD BE 38.4 FEET.N HEIGHT. THIS IS JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF HOW THE SITE WILL BE LAID OUT. IT MEETS ALL SETBACKS AND LOT COVERED REQUIREMENTS OF THE CITY CODE IN THE R-1 ZONING DISTRICT.

THIS IS THE DESIGN OF THE HOME. 35 LETTERS WERE SENT OUT TO PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 500 FEET OF THE PROPERTY, SIX WERE RETURNED, FOUR IN FAVOR AND ONE WAS IN OPPOSITION AND ONE WAS

I'M SORRY. YOU SEND ME THE NOTICE YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEND IT BACK BECAUSE I CAN TALK TO YOU IN PERSON. [LAUGHTER] IT IS ALL GOOD.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE WERE CONSISTENT WITH THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE HELD EVERYBODY TO THE RESTRICTION. AND ANOTHER SOUTH BEACH OVERLAY IS SOMETHING EVERYONE HOLDS WITH TOTAL REVERENCE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE NOT POVERSTEPPING THAT.

>>LISA HUDSON: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU.

IT IS NOW TIME FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING. WHEN THE APPLICANT COME FORWARD? STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD AND I NEED TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE

ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF. >> MICHAEL MINARD. NO, I HAVE NO QUESTIONS WITH STAFF BUT I THINK THEY DID A GOOD JOB OF PRESENTING AND I THINK THE HOUSE SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. SO I AM HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

>> IN THE QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT. >>THOMAS K. PERONA: I THINK IT WAS THE NAYSAYER THAT YOU RECEIVED THE NOTICE FROM FAMILY IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE PUTTING UP CHRISTMAS LIGHTS. I'M GOING TO ASK THE QUESTION. AND SEEMS TO BE MOST RESIDENTIAL HOUSES HAVE A SYMMETRY TO THEM ALL. BUT THE WINDOW SEEMS TO BE MISPLACED. MY IDEA IS THE FACT THAT IF IT IS A FUNCTIONAL THING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE, NOT NECESSARILY SOMETHING FROM US TO REVIEW.

AND SO IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE PHOTO THERE, THERE IS AN ASYMMETRICAL PART OF THIS.

AND I SEE THE VALUE IN IT, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU WANTED TO COMMENT.

>> IT IS PARTIALLY MY DESIGN AND PARTIALLY THE CLIENTS DESIRES.

AND DID HAVE A LITTLE MORE SYMMETRICAL WITH THE INTERIOR LAYOUT, BUT DUE TO MECHANICAL SYSTEMS AND LAUNDRY ROOM LOCATIONS AND THINGS THAT DICTATED THE FRONT FAC'ADE IF YOU LOOK AT THE REAR ELEVATION YOU WOULD SEE WHY. BECAUSE THE VIEW OF THE BEACH AND THEY WANTED MORE AESTHETICS OF THE LIVING TO FACE THE OCEA .

AND SO THEY PUT THE LAUNDRY ROOMS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE TOWARD THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE, WHICH LIMITS I DON'T THINK PEOPLE WANT TO SEE PEOPLE BATHING.

IS WHAT YOU CAN UNDERSTAND IT IS A FUNCTIONAL ISSUE. IT IS FUNNY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT NORMALLY YOU DRESS YOUR HOUSE UP HOW IT RELATES TO THE STREET IN THE WORLD CONFRONTING YOU. BUT WHEN YOU LIVE ON THE COAST, I'M PUTTING MY LAUNDRY ROOM IN MY GARBAGE ROOM IN MY GARAGE OUT THE FRONT AND THAT'S WAT I'M GOING TO GO TO THE IS GOING

TO HAPPEN. JUST NEED CLARIFICATION ON. >>LISA HUDSON: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT? THANK YOU, SIR. ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, PLEASE COME FORWARD. SEEING NO ONE, I WILL CLOSE THE

NO QUESTIONS AND STAFF. ONE OF MAREN COMMISSIONERS WITH THE QUESTION ABOUT THE SIDEWALKUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS A SIDEWALK TO KNOW WHERE , PAYMENT IN LIEU WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE? I BRIEFLY TALKED WITH BRANDON ABOUT IT AND HE WAS NOT SURE.

[01:40:01]

>>LISA HUDSON: ALL RIGHT. WE WILL DISCUSS THAT. ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT BEYOND THAT? BECAUSE IF I REMEMBER, DIXIE HIGHWAY THERE ARENO SIDEWALKS .

SO THAT IS WHAT YOUR POINT IS. IT WOULD JUST BE A SHORT SIDEWALK.

RIGHT. OKAY. >>RUFUS J. ALEXANDER: MADAME

MAYOR. >>LISA HUDSON: YES, SIR. >>RUFUS J. ALEXANDER: MAY I ASK A QUESTION AS FAR AS BEING ON DIXIE HIGHWAY. COULD THEY PUT A FENCE ALONG THAT AREA BEHIND THE BUILDING Ã NOT BEHIND IT, BESIDE THE BUILDING THAT WOULD SEPARATE THE NEED OF A SIDEWALK. BECAUSE NO ONE WILL BE UTILIZING IT.

COULD A STRUCTURE FUNDS GO UP INSTEAD? >>LISA HUDSON: IS ANYBODY IN

PLANNING ABLE TO ANSWER THAT. >> IF I MAY. THE REASON FOR THE SIDEWALK IS THERE IS THE ABILITY FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS ALONG THE CORRIDOR TO ALSO REDEVELOP.

IF MR. MINARD, HE IS REQUESTING A PAYMENT IN LIEU, PLANNING WOULD NOT OBJECT TO THAT BECAUSE WE COULD PUT THAT INTO A TRUST FUND ONE OF THE PROJECTS ALONG THE CORRIDOR OR DO REDEVELOP. WE COULD ASK THE SAME AND WE COULD ACTUALLY HAVE A SIDEWALK

ALONG THE LENGTH OF THE COURT OR. >>RUFUS J. ALEXANDER: THANK

YOU. >>LISA HUDSON: THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO TALK ONTHIS ISSUE? IF NOT, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ENTERTAIN A MOTION

>>RUFUS J. ALEXANDER: YES. WITH THE REQUEST FOR PAYMENT IN LIEU.

>>LISA HUDSON: OKAY. YOU SECOND IT? >> I WOULD JUST HAVE A

QUESTION. IF WE ARE GOING TO TAKE. >>LISA HUDSON: CAN YOU SECOND

IT WITH THE QUESTIONS. >> KNOWN. BECAUSE PAYMENT IN LIEU, WE WOULD HAVE TO ESTABLISH THAT BE PUT IN A TRUST THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT PART OF A MOTION IF THAT IS WHERE WE ARE GOING TO GO SO WE CLEARLY DESIGNATE THAT IF WE ARE GOING TO ACCEPT PAYMENT IN LIEU, IT GOES AND IS ALLOCATED FOR A TRUST AND IS EARMARKED THERE COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WOULD BE FAIR WILL IS ACCEPTING THAT AS PART OF

YOUR MOTION IF SO DESIGNATED. >>RUFUS J. ALEXANDER: YES. BUT ALONG WITH A QUESTION PARIS AND IF IT IS IN PAYMENT IN LIE , THE CITY HAS A TRUST ALREADY SET UP, RIGHT?

WERE ANY PROPERTIES IN THE CIT . >>LISA HUDSON: YES.

>>RUFUS J. ALEXANDER: WHAT HAVE WE DONE IN THE PAST. >>LISA HUDSON: MR. MIMS HAS

SOMETHING TO ADD TO THIS. >> FIRST LET ME ANSWER YOUR QUESTION FOR YOU AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS CALLED A TRUST WE HAVE A RESTRICTED FUND CALLED SIDEWALK IN LIEU A FUND.

WE HAVE THAT AVAILABLE AND IT IS ACCOUNTED FOR BYOUR DIRECTOR OF FINANCE.

RIDDLES DIXIE HIGHWAY IS NOT A CITY FOR PIERCE ROAD . SO THE APPROVAL OF THE PAYMENT OF LOOP WILL HAVE TO BE MADE BY EITHER ST. LOUIS COUNTY OR OF DOT.

SO WE CAN OBJECTIVELY OR INITIALLY APPROVE THAT AS PART OF THIS APPROVAL, BUT ULTIMATELY THIS IS A DECISION FOR THE REGULATORY AGENCY OF THAT RIGHT-OF-WAY AND THAT IS

ST. LUCIE COUNTY, I BELIEVE. >>LISA HUDSON: WE CAN MAKE IT AS PART OF OUR MOTION WE REQUEST THEM TO DO THAT? IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE SAYING? WERE THAT WE INDICATE THAT IS WHAT WE WOULD RATHER HAVE THAT HAPPEN THEN HAVE THIS GENTLEMAN BUILD A SIDEWALK?

>> YES BUT I BELIEVE YOUR RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL WITH REGARD TO THE SIDEWALK IS THAT IT WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE OR APPROVED BY THIS BODY TO HAVE THAT PAYMENT IN LIEU INSTEAD OF INSTALLATION OF SIDEWALK. WILL ULTIMATELY WOULD HAVE TO BE APPROVED BY ST. LUCIE

COUNTY. >>RUFUS J. ALEXANDER: SO MOVED WHAT HE SAID .

>>LISA HUDSON: ARE YOU SECONDING. >> SECOND.

[LAUGHTER] >>LISA HUDSON: GOOD JOB. ALL RIGHT.

ARE YOU CLEAR? OKAY. CALL THE ROLE.

COMMISSIONER PERONA. >>THOMAS K. PERONA: I HAVE A QUESTION DISTAFF THEN ON THE IN LIEU. I ALWAYS THOUGHT WE DID PARKING IN LIEU AND SIDEWALK IN LIEU.

IS THE FACT THAT WE GO AHEAD AND COLLECT MONEY INSTEAD HAVING THE DEVELOPER BUILD A SIDEWALK. BUT THAT SIDEWALK IN LUKE CAN BE USED FOR OTHER PURPOSES AND OTHER LOCATIONS. AND IF THERE WE HAVE A CONNECTIVITY PROBLEM IN THIS LOCATION, THAT FUND WOULD COME ALONG AND HELP FUND THAT. AND SO RATHER THAN MAKE THIS PARTICULAR IN LIEU FUND DICTA THAT PROPERTY IS NOT THE WAY I LOOK AT IT.

[01:45:09]

>> THAT IS NOT HOW IT READS. I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU. AND IT DOES HELP US TO BE ABLE TO COLLECT THAT FEE AND EARMARKED LOCATIONS WHERE SIDEWALKS ARE NEEDED AND WARRANTED AND DEMANDED. AND A LOT OF TIMES THAT COMES ABOUT WHO TO LET YOU ALL KNOW WITH OUR SINGLE-FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS, YOU WILL ALL BE SEEING SOME CHANGES FOR THAT.

RIGHT NOW WE DO NOT REQUIRE SIDEWALKS FOR SINGLE-FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS AND YOU KNOW THAT HAS BEEN A REAL ISSUE WHEN IT COMES TO DWELLING RENTALS WE HAVE THAT ONE INSTANCE WHERE WE DID NOT WANT TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF SIDEWALKS.

SO WE WILL BE PRESENTING A SIMILAR OPTION TO WHERE WE WILL BE COLLECTING PAYMENT IN LIEU OPTIONS SO WE COULD HAVE ENOUGH TO HAVE A MORE COMPREHENSIVE SIDEWALK CONNECTION AND

NETWORK, WHICH WE LACK IN OUR SINGLE-FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS. >> I DIDN'T WANT THIS FEE TO BE IN AN ACCOUNT FOR 30 YEARS WHILE SOMEBODY FIGURES OUT THEY ARE GOING TO PUT A SIDEWALK THERE. IT'S A LIVING FUND AND HELPS US WITH OBLIGATIONS TO HELP MEET THE HEALTH, WELFARE AND SAFETY OF COMMUNITIES TO BE ABLE TO USE THAT MONEY AND TARGETED AT THE PROPER TIME. I KNOW WHAT YOU WERE TRYING TO SAY AND I LOVE IT.

>> THE TRUISM THERE IS THE FACT THAT THIS IS A TOOLBOX FOR SOLUTIONS.

MUSIC WHEN WE REALLY NEED TO GO IN THERE AND HELP THE COMMUNITY OUT THE RATE ESPECIALLY WITH

CONNECTIVITY. >> MADAME MAYOR, AND TO ADD TO THAT.

DOT IS DESIGNING A PROJECT THAT WILL FLY OVER THIS EXACT PARCEL OR BE ADJACENT TO IT.

AND THERE WILL ALSO BE CONSTRUCTION ON THE ROAD OF DIXIE HIGHWAY AND THERE'S GOING TO BE IMPROVEMENTS MADE. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT DESIGN LOOKS LIKE.

BECAUSE A GREENWAY AND TRAIL IS IN THEIR. >>LISA HUDSON: SUNNY LANE AND

ALLOF THAT. >> IS A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES . AND I AM UNCLEAR ON THE MOTION WHETHER WE WERE MAKING THE MOTION TO INCLUDE THE OTHER AGENCIES OR WE ARE MAKING THE MOTION TO SAY PAYMENT IN LIEU OF AND COLLECTING ITTO WHAT THE COMMISSIONER IS TALKING ABOUT .

>> I UNDERSTOOD IT TO BE THAT WE WOULD APPROVE THE PAYMENT IN LIEU WITH ULTIMATE APPROVAL BY

ST. LUCIE COUNTY. IS NOT WHAT YOU SAID, NICK? >> YES.

I BELIEVE WE HAVE AN OPTION. AT THIS TIME ST. LUCIE COUNTY IS A REGULATORY AGENCY.

WE CAN LEAVE THE ENTIRE RECOMMENDATION OUT OF THIS BODY AND STICK TO WHAT WE CAN

CONTROL HERE ON THIS DAIS. >>LISA HUDSON: WHAT WE CONTROL ON THIS DAIS IS THAT HE HAS REQUESTED NOT TO BUILD THE SIDEWALK AND WE DON'T HAVE TO ASK HIM TO DO THAT.

>> YES. THAT WOULD BE UP TO THIS COMMISSION.

>> SO MY QUESTION, I WILL BUILD ON MY QUESTION. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO PAY TWICE BECAUSE THE OTHER AGENCY SAYS PAY ME ALSO WHILE YOU'RE HERE AND THANK YOU FOR VISITING

ON THE OTHER SIDE. >> AGAIN, THE REGULATORY AGENCY IS ST. LUCIE COUNTY FOR THE APPLICANT REQUESTED HE NOT BUILD THE SIDEWALK HE REALLY SHOULD HAVE THE CONVERSATION

WITH ST. LUCIE COUNTY. >> TO ST. LUCIE COUNTY OF TRC COMMENTS?

>> THEY DID BUT THEY HAD ONE HOUR THE AGENCIES AND. >> IF YOU WANT TO HEAR THE SPECIFIC CODE LANGUAGE IN THE ARCADE SECTION I CAN READ IT OFF TO YOU WHO READ IN MY

PROVIDE CLARIFICATION. FOR THE DISCUSSION. >> GO AHEAD.

DO YOU HAVE IT AVAILABLE ALREADY? >> SIDEWALK SHALL BE INSTALLED ALONG ALL PUBLIC ROADWAYS ARE PROPERTIES THAT HAVE ARCADE USES AND SHALL BE INSTALLED PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF A BUSINESS TAX RECEIPT FOR THE LOCATION WILL BE EXEMPT FROM SIDEWALK PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN ONE 2517, WHICH IS OUR SIDEWALK SECTION WHICH TALKS

ABOUT PAYMENT IN LIEU TOO. >> IS THERE ANYTHING THAT IS GOING TO TRIGGER THE APPLICANT TO GO TO ST. LUCIE COUNTY? HE'S PROBABLY NOT DOING ANY RIGHT-OF-WAY IMPROVEMENTS.

>> IF I MAY, THERE WILL NOT BE A REQUIREMENT FOR HINTING AT APPROVAL FOR THIS ARCADE

THROUGH ST. LUCIE COUNTY. >> KNOW RIGHT AWAY PERMITS, AND A DRIVEWAY CONNECTION.

>> IT IS ALL NO NEW CONSTRUCTION. >> I CAN ONLY SUPPORT THE MOTION IF IT GOES IN FAVOR OF CITY OF FORT PIERCE BASED ON ORDINANCE COLLECTING PAYMENT IN

LIEU OF WITH DISAPPROVAL. >>RUFUS J. ALEXANDER: THAT IS WHAT MY MOTION IS.

>> THAT IS WHERE I AM NOT TOO. >> I THINK THAT AMERICA THAT IS WHERE THE MOTION IS RIGHT NOW.

>>RUFUS J. ALEXANDER: THAT IS WHAT MY MOTION IS. >> WE ADDED ON WITH THE

APPROVAL OF ST. LUCIE COUNTY. >>RUFUS J. ALEXANDER: NO, I DIDN'T SAY THAT.

[01:50:06]

BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO HAVE THE APPROVAL TO GET THEIR BUSINESS TAX LICENSE, RIGHT?

>>LISA HUDSON: I DON'T THINK THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE SIDEWALK IT WOULD.

>> THAT IS JUST WHAT HE READ OFF THAT REQUIREMENT OF THE SIDEWALK.

THAT IS ASKED TO BE OBTAINED BEFORE HE CAN GET IN BUSINESS TAX.

I DON'T WANT TO HOLD THEM UP. >>LISA HUDSON: I THINK WE ALL WANT THE SAME THING.

>> IF I MAY VERY QUICKLY AND WE WERE MIXING TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.

THE FIRST THING IS THE WE AS A CITY REQUIRE EITHER A, YOU BUILD A SIDEWALK.

OR BE, IF YOU WANT TO PAY FOR IT YOU CAN GIVE US MONEY. THE REGULATORY AGENCY THAT WOULD APPROVE AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE RIGHT AWAY IS ST. LUCIE COUNTY.

BUT THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. BECAUSE HE IS GOING TO PAY US FOR A SIDEWALK THAT WILL NOT BE BUILT. SO I BELIEVE IN REEVALUATING AS COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER STATED IT AND CLARIFIED IT, ST. LUCIE COUNTY ASPECT IS NOT PART OF

THE MOTION. >> I WANT TO MAKE SURE THE SECOND OR MAY 2 THOUGHT IT WAS.

>> I'M OKAY. I AM CLEAR NOW. I STILL SECOND THE MOTION.

>> YOU ARE CLEAR WITH THE MOTION IS.> TO APPROVE THE TWO STAFF CONDITIONS ALLOWING

PAYMENT IN LIEU INSTEAD OF CONSTRUCTING THE SIDEWALK. >>LISA HUDSON: EVERYBODY ALL

RIGHT. >> COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER. >> YES.

>> COMMISSIONER C JOHNSON. >> YES.> COMMISSIONER J JOHNSON BOYKIN.

>> COMMISSIONER PERONA. >> YES, MA'AM. >> MAYOR HUDSON.

>>LISA HUDSON: YES, MA'AM. KAY. >>RUFUS J. ALEXANDER: YOU GOING TO MAKE A SONG OUT OF THE ROLL CALL. [LAUGHTER]

THE PROPERTY IS OWNED SINGLE-FAMILY INTERMEDIATE

RESIDENTIAL ZONE ARE TO. >>LISA HUDSON: HOUSE THE ADVERTISING ANDNOTICE

REQUIREMENTS BEEN MET. >> THEY HAVE . >>LISA HUDSON: WOULD YOU ASK X

PARTAKE COMMUNICATION. >> COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER. >>RUFUS J. ALEXANDER: NO.

>> COMMISSIONER C JOHNSON. >> YES. >> COMMISSIONER J JOHNSON.

>> NO. I DON'T BELIEVE SO.>> COMMISSIONER PERONA.

>> NO, MA'AM. >> MAYOR HUDSON. >> YES.

>>LISA HUDSON: WOULD YOU LIKE TO SWEAR IN THE WITNESSES BOOK WHEN ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM PLEASE STAND AND RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND. DO YOU SWEAR OR AFFIRM TO BUILD

THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. >> I DO.

>> THANK YOU. >>LISA HUDSON: PROCEED. >> I'M GOING TO TAKE THE LEAD ON THIS ONE. MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION, THIS IS A CONDITIONAL USE APPROVAL WITH NO NEW CONSTRUCTION FOR A DWELLING RENTAL WITH A MINIMUM OF ONE DAY.

THE LOCATION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS AT 1132 GRANADA STREET.

IS A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME COMPRISED OF THREE BEDROOMS AND TWO BATHS.

THE FUTURE LAND USE FOR THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL WITH A COMPATIBLE ZONING DISTRICT OF SINGLE-FAMILY INTERMEDIATE ZONING OR R-2.

THE SYNOPSIS FOR DWELLING UNITS ARE BASED UPON OUR CITY ORDINANCE ADOPTED IN 2001 AND ORDINANCE K-1 14, WHICH ESTABLISHED ROLLING RENTALS AS CONDITIONAL USES IN CERTAIN RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICTS. IN A REVIEW WITH STUFF WE DO LOOK TO MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO COURT ENFORCEMENT ORPOLICE DEPARTMENT VIOLATIONS . SUBSEQUENT TO OUR PASSAGE OF THE ORDINANCE THE FLORIDA LEGISLATION PASSED IN 2011 THEIR OWN LAWS, WHICH HAS ACTUALLY SUPERSEDED MANY LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. IT BECAUSE WE HAVE CONDITIONAL USE PROCESS IN PLACE WE ARE STILL ABLE TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS.

WHATEVER STATE LEGISLATION SAYS ANY LOCAL LAW ORDINANCE OR REGULATION MAY NOT PROHIBIT VACATION RENTALS OR REGULATE THE DURATION OR FREQUENCY. PLANNING BOARD DID REVIEW THIS APPLICATION AT THE NOVEMBER 10 BOARD MEETING AND AT THAT POINT THIS IS BASED ON THE FIVE

[01:55:07]

CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL WHICH HAVE BECOME OUR STANDARD CONDITIONS, BUT THEY DID ADD A CONDITIONS TO CONDITION NUMBER FOUR TO HAVE HER ON STREET PARKING.

STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL WITH THESE FIVE CONDITIONS WITH ON STREET PARKING BE PROHIBITED. ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS WERE SENT NOTIFICATIONS WERE 98 WITHIN THE 500 FOOT RADIUS. ONE CAME BACK IN FAVOR, ONE RETRACTED BASED ON AN EMAIL THAT DID PROVIDE CLARIFICATION AND THEN HE RETRACTED HIS OBJECTION TO NO COMMENT.

WHEN I DID GET A RESPONSE WITH NO COMMENT AND THEN THERE WERE 10 IN OPPOSITION.

TO DECOMMISSION POSSIBLE ACTIONS ARE TO APPROVE WITH THE FIVE CONDITIONS AS SUPPORTED BY STAFF AND PLANNING BOARD TO APPROVE THE CHANGES TO THE CONDITIONS OR DISAPPROVE THE PROPOSED CONDITIONAL USE. AND I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AS WELL AS THE

APPLICANT. >>RUFUS J. ALEXANDER: MADAM MAYOR.

>>LISA HUDSON: YES, SEPARATE COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER? >>RUFUS J. ALEXANDER: I HEARD YOU SPEAK OF NO ON STREET PARKING. IS THAT FOR EVERYBODY?

OR IS THAT JUST A SPECIAL REQUEST? >> COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER, IT IS NOT ÃTHERE IS NO PARKING SPACES PROVIDED ON THE STREET. YOU TYPICALLY HAVE TO HAVE ROOM FOR IT. THIS AREA DOES NOT AND IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THE PLANNING BOARD ONE OF THAT REITERATED ON RECORD. BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WANT TO SEE

A NUMBER OF CARS PARKING ON THE STREET. >>RUFUS J. ALEXANDER: NO

HOMEOWNER IS ALLOWED TO HAVE ANYBODY TO PARK ON THE STREET. >> ONLY IF THERE IS A PARKING PLACE PROVIDED ON THE STREET. IF THERE IS NOT THAT, YOU'RE ACTUALLY BLOCKING THE FLOW OF

TRAFFIC AND YOU CANNOT PARK. >>RUFUS J. ALEXANDER: I'M JUST ASKING THE QUESTION BECAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE RECOMMENDATIONS.

ON THE PROPERTY. THERE IS A RADIUS MAP ABILITY TO COLLECT THE INFORMATION AND 98 WHEN OUT AND THIS IS WHAT WE GOT IN RETURN. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE 10 IMPOSE THIS TYPE THEY USE IN A SINGLE-FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD OR IN THIS IS AN ART TO COMMIT

WHICH IS PRIMARILY SINGLE FAMILY. >> NOW I WILL HAVE TO ASK MY ATTORNEY TO READ WHAT HAS BEEN LEGISLATED ABOUT THIS SO IT CAN BE IN THE RECORD.

>> IF YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO. IT WAS REFERENCED EARLIER IN THE PRESENTATION MATERIALS, BUT IN THE STATE STATUTE CLEARLY STATES THAT IF YOU DO NOT HAVE AN ORDINANCE ON THE BOOKS PRIOR TO 2011YOU CANNOT REGULATE THE DURATIONAL LOCATION INCLUDING BY ZONING A VACATION RENTALS PEWTER ORDINANCE PRIOR TO THAT, BUT IF YOU WERE TO DISAPPROVE A CONDITIONAL USE AS YOU ALL KNOW FROM MY EARLIER STATEMENT OF THE BEGINNING OF THESE JUDICIAL US, YOU WOULD HAVE TO HAVE SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE AS TO WHY YOU WOULD DISAPPROVE A CONDITIONAL USE.

SO THAT IS WHY WE ARE HAVING A HEARING. DOES THT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.

>>RUFUS J. ALEXANDER: ABSOLUTELY. >>LISA HUDSON: THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING THAT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF STAFF? I WOULD LIKE THE APPLICANT TO COME FORWARD. PLEASE COME FORWARD. DON'T RUSH.

STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD. >> 1132 GRANADASTREET. >>LISA HUDSON: DO YOU HAVE ANY

QUESTIONS OF STAFF . >> I DON'T. THEY BEEN WONDERFUL.

>>LISA HUDSON: THINKING. WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY ANYTHING TO US ABOUT YOUR APPLICATION?

>> JUST A QUICK LITTLE. WE HAVE BEEN UP IN FRONT OF THE ALREADY.

AND THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY PARIS THRIVING.

>> YOU OWN THIS PROPERTY AND LIVE SOMEPLACE ELSE. >> I WILL BE.

[02:00:12]

>>LISA HUDSON: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS IN THE APPLICANT. >> IT TALKS ABOUT THE ON STREET PARKING. I THINK THE AREA IS PRETTY LIMITED IN HOW PARKING CAN BE DONE ON STREET ANYWAY, BUT CAN YOU ELABORATE FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE.

>> I WIL SAY IT HOMEOWNER FOR 12 YEARS NOW, THERE IS A LOT OF ON STREET PARKING.

BUT I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THAT RULING FOR IT THAT IS FINE FOR ME.

>> THIS PARCEL HAS THE EXTRA DRIVEWAY ON THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE ANYWAYS?

>> MY DRIVEWAY COULD ACTUALLY HOLD FOR CARS. >> AND THE CONCRETE GOES ALL

THE WAY TO THE STREET. >> CORRECT. >>LISA HUDSON: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, PLEASE COME FORWARD. SEEING NO ONE, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ENTERTAIN A

MOTION OR A DISCUSSION. >>RUFUS J. ALEXANDER: MADAM MAYOR, BACK TO THE ON STREET PARKING. AND I AGREE WITH LIMITED PARKING, BUT I JUST DON'T SEE US TO ADD SOMETHING INTO THIS AND NO ONE ELSE US THE ANSWERS. I DON'T WANT THAT TO COME BACK TO HAUNT US THAT WE MAKE A DECISION NOW AND IN THE NEXT INDIVIDUAL THAT COMES BEFORE US DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE SAME. AND SO AGAIN, MY QUESTION IS

WHO ASKED FOR ON STREET PARKING. >> I THINK IT WAS THE PLANNING

BOARD ASKED THAT. >> IF I MAY ADD SOMETHING TO THE CONCERN.

AND I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND. THE RULES AND REGULATIONS WITH ON STREET PARKING.

IT WOULD REQUIRED TO GETTING IF IT WERE SOMETHING FOR MOST OF THE TIME IT IS WHEN SOMEONE

CALLS. >> THEY MIGHT BE PARKING ON THE STREET RIGHT NOW AS THE

APPLICANT HAD SAID, BUT THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT. >> RIGHT.

ON MONDAY WE HAD THIS POSTPONED OR WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE COMING TO YOU ALL.

BUT WE HAD OUR LAST CONFERENCE AGENDA WAS POSTPONED DUE TO THE WEATHER.

THE PLANNING BOARD IS GOING TO BE RECOMMENDING THAT A COMMITTEE OF THOSE IN THE BUSINESS, CITY STAFF, MEMBERS AND THE PUBLIC INTERESTED IN THIS COME TOGETHER AND CREATE A WORKING GROUP. THIS IS SOMETHING WE ARE GOING TO DISCUSS ON MONDAY.

WE DO HAVE A PLANNING BOARD MEETING TOMORROW WHERE TO VACATION RENTALS ARE ON DISCUSSION. BECAUSE EVERY MEETING NOW WE HAVE THEM.

>> THIS IS NOT GOING TO GO AWAY. >> THIS IS NOT GOING TO GO AWAY. IF THIS ADD-ON IS ACCOUNTABLE TO THE MAKING OF THE TIME BECAUSE PREVIOUSLY HAD NOT HAD ON THERE, I UNDERSTAND COMMISSIONER ALEXANDERS CONCERN AND IT IS AT YOUR PLEASURE WHETHER YOU WANT TO SUPPORT THIS AT THIS TIME WERE IT IS SOMETHING WE CAN DISCUSS WHEN WE GET FOR ON THIS COMMITTEE AND THIS BE AN ADDITIONAL VARIANCE SIMILAR TO THE INSURANCE THAT WAS ALSO BEING CONSIDERED.

WE WANTED TO MAKE THATSOMETHING THAT WE HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSION ON .

>> MADAM MAYOR. >>RUFUS J. ALEXANDER: I WOULD CONSIDER THAT INSTEAD OF

SLAMMING IT ON ONE. >>LISA HUDSON: OKAY. COMMISSIONER?

>> MADAM MAYOR, I WOULD TEND TO AGREE TO WHAT I HAVE SET THROUGH A NUMBER OF THESE.

I'M SORRY, DID I SAY? YOU MADE COMMENTS TO THE ABOUT THIS.

COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER, I'M SORRY. I GUESS I WAS HAVING A TRANSPARENCE MOMENT. A SENIOR MOMENT. THAT'S OKAY.

I WOULD TEND TO AGREE WITH COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER ON THE NEW RULING.

I HAVE SAT AND WATCHED THIS FOR A NUMBER OF TIMES. TO ADD SOMETHING THIS LATE, THIS NEW WITHOUT TRULY BEING VETTED AND GIVING US A CHANCE TO EXPOUND UPON IT, MY CONCERN WOULD BE THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS. ONLY NOW GETTING OUR POLICE AND CODE ENFORCEMENT AND THE REST OF THIS ENFORCING THIS IF THIS WAS TO GO THROUGH.

SO I THINK BEFORE WE DO THAT, THOSE ARE QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS I WOULD HAVE.

AND BEING THAT THIS IS BRAND-NEW THAT THIS IS NOT HAPPENING, I WOULDN'T BE IN FAVOR OF THAT THREAD BUT IN FAVOR MOVING IT FORWARD WITHOUT THAT ONE.

>>THOMAS K. PERONA: OKAY. AND I PULLED OFF THE LIST OF ALL THE CONSIDERATIONS WE HAVE

[02:05:01]

LOOKED AT IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS. AND WE HAVE NOT IMPROVED OF OUR TREND NINE OR R-2 ZONING. WE HAVE NOT. WERE HELD TO A HIGH REGARD AND SUBSTANTIAL EVENTS. I'M TOTALLY SURPRISED THE COMMUNITY DOING COME OUT AND SPEAK TO THIS. I KNOW FOLKS ON GRANADA. NOT THAT I'M AGAINST IT.

BUT YOU MUST HAVE DONE A HECKUVA JOB THAT THIS IS THE GREATEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD.IN DEFENSE OF ALL THAT, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE LOCATION PROBABLY ONE OF THE AREAS THAT WE HAVE APPROVED MOST ON IS THE NEXT READ UP ON HERNANDO I THINK WE HAVE FOUR OF THEM ON HERNANDO ITSELF. AND THAT IS ON THE SAME BLOCK. I OWN A PROPERTY RIGHT THERE MYSELF. AND SO I UNDERSTAND IF IT'S IN THAT AREA A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN NOT. THEM HAPPY WE ARE HAVING THIS DISCUSSION ON MONDAY ABOUT VACATION RENTALS AND WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE TYPE OF A THING.

BECAUSE I HAVE A LOT OF IDEAS ABOUT PERMITTING LICENSING IF THIS HAPPENS FOR YOU.

YOU'VE GOT IN AND UNDERNEATH THE RADAR PARIS I'M READY TO THROW THE WORLD THAT YOU RIGHT NOW. MR. SWEENEY HERE IS GOING TO TELL ME WHAT COMPETENT SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE IS AND WE HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM THE PUBLIC FROM SO WE CAN'T MAKE IT OF OURSELVES AS THEY GO ALONG. THERE'S NOT A SCHOOL NEXT TO THIS THING SO WE CAN'T USE THAT ONE. WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE OBLIGATION WE HAVE FOR THE HEALTH, WELFARE AND SAFETY OF THE COMMUNITY AND WE HAVE TO MEASURE IT AGAINST THE COMPETENTSUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE, WE HAVE NOTHING TO COMPARE TO. AND JUST MAKE THOSE COMMENTS THAT WE HAVEN'T DONE THIS YET . WE ARE NOW SETTING A PRECEDENT ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

ARE FOLKS WHO BRING THEIR PROPERTIES FORWARD AND NOT THINKING HOPEFULLY THE COMMISSION IS IN A GOOD MOOD TONIGHT TO GET THIS THING PASSED OR NOT.

WE NEED TO HAVE A SET PARAMETER. WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY HOW YOU CAN AND CAN'T DO THIS. THE RESTRICTION ON THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE.

AND IF WE MESS UP, WE ARE HEADED FOR A LAWSUIT. IT'S NOT THAT WE DON'T WANT TO PROTECT OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. WE HAVE ALL SWORN TO DO THAT. BUT THERE IS JUST A LEGAL WAY OF DOING IT AND THERE IS A WAY YOU CAN HELP US DO IT BY SHOWING US HERE TONIGHT SAYING HEY, THIS IS NEGATIVELY IMPACT MY HEALTH, WELFARE AND SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND HERE'S HOW IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. AND WE CAN GRAB ONTO THOSE AND WE CAN USE THAT IN OUR DELIBERATION AND COME UP WITH A SENSIBLE DECISION. WE HAVE NOTHING IN FRONT OF US.

SO THIS WILL BE THE FIRST TIME I THINK WE ARE GOING TO CROSS OVER THE LINE AND AT LEAST

CONSIDER IN A POSITIVE WAY A R-2. >> IF I MAY, A CORRECTION.

WE HAVE RECEIVED THESE RESPONSES. I DO HAVE THEM.

GOTTEN THEM IN EVEN TODAY. AND I CAN READ THEM TO YOU IN THE RECORD IF YOU WOULD LIKE.

BECAUSE I DON'T WANT THERE TO BE THIS, THE PUBLIC LOOKING AT US HERE TONIGHT AND NOT THINKING THAT WHAT THEY HAVE WRITTEN TO ME DOES NOT MEAN SOMETHING.

>> MADAM MAYOR, FOR THE RECORD I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR WHAT THEY ARE.

>> THERE AREN'T THAT MANY. I WOULD LIKE TO DO THAT IF THAT IS OKAY.

>>LISA HUDSON: PLEASE. >> OKAY. NOT ALL OF THEM HAVE PROVIDED ADDRESSES, BUT THE FIRST ONE IN THE COMMENTS SECTION ÃBECAUSE THERE WAS A TIME WHEN THESE LETTERS MEANT A LITTLE BIT MORE. BECAUSE IF THERE WAS A 20 PERCENT, IT WOULD REQUIRE A SUPER MAJORITY VOTE FROM YOU ALL.

WE DON'T HAVE THAT IN PLACE ANYMORE. WE HAVE CHANGED THE LANGUAGE A LITTLE BIT TO WHERE THEY ARE PROVIDING A SPACE FOR COMMENTS. SO THE FIRST ONE WAS NONE UNDER COMMENTS. THAT WAS MY NO COMMENT. THE SECOND ONE SAYS THIS WAS THE APPROVAL ONE PRINT RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL. I APPROVE OF THIS AND PLEASE ALLOW THE OWNER TO GET THE PROPER PERMIT. THE SECOND, I DON'T SUPPORT THE USE. IT IS NOT GOOD FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

ESPECIALLY WITH COVID RIGHT NOW. EVERYONE THAT LIVES ON THE STREET IS A RESIDENT AND IS OPPOSED TO SHORT-TERM RENTALS. WE VOTE NO, WE ARE AGAINST THIS, WE BELIEVE IT WILL CHANGE THE DYNAMICS OF A FAMILY COMMUNITIES THERE IS HOFMEISTER, WE ARE RESPONDING TO YOUR INQUIRY ABOUT INDWELLING RENTAL AND WE ARE

[02:10:05]

VOTING NO. WE ARE OPPOSED TO ANY CONDITIONAL USE PROCESS.

AND THAT WAS JUST AN EMAIL THIS IS REPEAT. SHORT-TERM RENTALS ROB NEIGHBORHOOD OF BEING A COMMUNITY. OPPOSED THIS IS A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. TO CHANGE THIS USE WOULD MAKE THIS HOUSE A MOTEL ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET.OR THIS REASON WEARE OPPOSED AGAINST RENTING THE HOUSE FOR LESS THAN SIX MONTHS. WE OWN THE HOUSE ACROSS THE STREET AT 1135 GRANADA.

THIS WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT PROVIDED THE ADDRESS. OPPOSED .AND THEN THE LAST ONE IS I REMAIN OPPOSED TO THE PROPOSED REQUESTS CONDITIONAL USE TO OPERATE A DWELLING UNIT ÃINDWELLING RENTAL AT THIS ADDRESS. THAT IS WHAT I RECEIVED AS OF

TODAY. >> I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR FOR THIS RECORD AND THIS BODY.

THAT SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AS EVIDENCE. THAT WAS NOT TESTIMONY PROVIDED UNDER OATH, ALTHOUGH I DO BELIEVE THEY HAVE VALUE BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT ORDER THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT DOES AND IT IS A SENSE OF THE COMMUNITY. THERE IS A REASON AND A VERY IMPORTANT REASON FROM A LEGAL STANDARD WHY WE HAVE A HEARING AND PEOPLE HAVE TO COME HERE, RAISED HER HAND TO TELL THE TRUTH FOR OR AGAINST. SO PLEASE, THAT FROM A LEGAL OF

VALUATION IS NOT COMPETENT SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE. >> AND I AGREE.

AND SO SOME EVIDENCE THAT I DO HAVE BECAUSE WE HAVE ACCESS TO IT.

THE PROPERTY APPRAISERS SITE. HAD TO LOOK INTO THE DATA PROVIDED BY STAFF LEGAL COMPETENT SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE. AND THE PROPERTY APPRAISER.T IS LESS THAN 1/4 ACRE LOT.

THAT IS EVIDENCE WE CAN TAKE INTO ACCOUNT. IT IS A SMALLER LOT, WHICH IS OKAY.AYING THAT'S WHAT IT IS. THE ROAD IT'S SELF IS NOT AT A TODAY'S CITY STANDARD. IN AND THE ENGINEERING DESIGN BOOK AND UNDERSTAND THAT IS ACTUALLY A FACT ALSO. SO WHEN I SEE SOMETHING LIKE ON STREET PARKING IS PROHIBITED, I SAY THAT IS ACTUALLY A GOOD IDEA. WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS BEFORE. MAYBE WE HAD, MAYBE WE HAD NOT. MAYBE WE LOOKED AT OTHER ZONING DISTRICTS AND DECIDED IT WASN'T A BIG FOUR AND THE ZONING DISTRICTS AND NOW WE ARE READY R-1 OR A R-2. THE MAKEUP OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

THAT COMES INTO PLAY FOR ME WHEN I LOOK AT THE CONDITIONS WE HAVE ESTABLISHED, WE HAVE USED. THEY ARE GOOD CONDITIONS. WE HAVE MOLDED THEM OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS INTO THOSE LIST AND NOW WE HAVE ANOTHER SLIGHT MOLDING PROCESS GOING ON WITH THE ON STREET PARKING. BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND SELF AND YOU REALLY START DIGGING DEEP INTO WHAT IS IT LOOK LIKE, HOW IS IT DESIGNED, HOW WAS IT BUILT BACK IN THE DAY WHEN IT WAS BUILT. I ASKED ABOUT THE DRIVEWAY FOR A REASON.

WE HAD ONE TWO WEEKS AGO OR THREE WEEKS AGO THAT WE HAD TO ADD DRIVEWAY BECAUSE IT WAS UNDEVELOPED. THAT'S WHY THIS CONDITIONAL USE PROCESS IS SO IMPORTANT TO READ EACH INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY IS UNIQUE.VERYONE OF THEM ARE UNIQUE.

I THINK SOMEONE HAVING THE FORESIGHT TO SAY ON STREET PARKING SHOULD BE PROHIBITED IS A GREAT IDEA IN THIS CASE BECAUSE OF THE REASONS I STATED ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE LOT, THE SIZE OF THE STREET TOWARD ONE OF THE FRONT YARD LOOK LIKE. DOESN'T HAVE SHRUBS.

THE MAILBOX PLACEMENT. YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY HERE, WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY HERE TO MAKE SURE IT IS STILL FUNCTIONING AS A NEIGHBORHOOD ENVIRONMENT.

NO MATTER WHAT THE COMMENTS ARE IN BRINGING THE TESTIMONY. IF IT WAS TESTIMONY IT WOULD BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. MAY BE. MAYBE IT WOULDN'T.

BUT I THINK THAT IS A GOOD ADDITIONAL CONDITION AND THAT IS THE BEAUTY OF THIS PROCESS.

I WANTED TO SHARE THAT. >>LISA HUDSON: AND THAT IS A GOOD POINT.

FOR THE GOOD OF EVERYBODY, THIS IS SOMETHING WE GRAPPLE WITH ALL THE TIME.

BECAUSE WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO USE THEIR PROPERTY IN THIS WAY.

AND THAT IS A PROPERTY RIGHTS ISSUE. THAT'S WHAT LOCAL LEGISLATOR LOOKS AT IT. BUT THEY DON'T LOOK AT WHAT THE NEIGHBORS WANT IN THEIR PROPERTY RIGHTS, WHICH IS THEY DON'T WANT TO LIVE IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA TURNING INTO TRANSIENT KIND OF PEOPLE COMING IN AND OUT OF THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.

[02:15:02]

AND SO IT IS A CLASH OF TWO DIFFERENT ÃOUR RESIDENTS, MANY OF OUR RESIDENTS EXPECT US TO PROTECT THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND SO WHEN THEY HAVE ÃTHE CONDITIONAL USES OUR ONLY TOOL.

AND SO SPECIFIED ON STREET PARKING IS PROHIBITED IS PART OF THE TOOL.

IN THE MY RIGHT IF THE PERSON DOESN'T MEET ALL THE CONDITIONS, THE CONDITIONAL USE

CAN BE TAKEN AWAY. ISN'T THAT CORRECT?>> YES, MA'AM.

>>LISA HUDSON: THIS ALL HAS TO BE ABIDED BY. AND THAT IS RIGHT NOW THE BEST TO BE CAN DO BARRING THAT SOMEBODY HAS A HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE ISSUE TO PRESENT.

>> MADAME MAYOR I DIDN'T BRING THIS UP JUST BECAUSE ÃTHE ONLY REASON I BROUGHT IT UP WAS BECAUSE I HADN'T HEARD IT BEFORE. AND MY CONCERN IS IF WE SAY NO OFFSTREET PARKING IT WILL OPEN UP A CAN OF WORMS FROM THE NEIGHBORS BECAUSE THEY HAVE ON STREET PARKING AND THEY GET TICKETED FOR THE PROPERTY OWNER OF THIS PROPERTY IS GOING TO BE WRITING UP AND DOWN THE STREET TO SEE THE ON STREET PARKING. BUT THEY ARE GONNA COMPLAIN ABOUT IT. I ONLY PULLED IT BECAUSE IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I HEARD IT.

AND JENNIFER IS SAYING THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE A MEETING. I AM JUST SAYING THIS ONE PROPERTY BEING TARGETED AND WE DON'T HAVE ALL ON BOARD. WE OF THE ORDINANCES THEN WE HAVE TO PULL ON STREET PARKING ON THE STREET. BUT THAT IS CITYWIDE.

YOU KNOW THEY HAVE CARS AND WAGONS. THAT IS A JOKE.

[LAUGHTER] >>LISA HUDSON: THANK YOU FOR SHARING.

>> IF I CAN ASK ATTORNEY HERE, AND USED A FANCY $10 TERM COLD ÃWHAT WAS THAT? COMPELLING EVIDENCE. SO COMMISSIONER JOHNSON, JEREMIAH JOHNSON BROUGHT UP A POINT OF DATA HE THOUGHT WAS IN THE CATEGORY. IS THAT MEANS THAT BAR WHERE WE

ARE WITH THAT? >> OUT AND BE HARD-PRESSED TO SAY IT DOES AT THISTIME .

IT WOULD BE HARD TO SAY IT NEEDS THE BAR. AND THERE IS REALLY TWO REASONS WHY. ONE, THERE IS NOT A SINGLE PERSON HERE IN OPPOSITION TESTIFYING UNDER OATH. AND WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, COMMISSIONER JEREMIAH JOHNSON, HE SAID DECISION MAKER. AND SO EVIDENCE IS JUDGES, YOU HEARD ME SAY IN THE BEGINNING REVIEWER JUDGES. IS TO BE PRESENTED TO YOU. NOT NECESSARILY CREATED BY YOU.

AND THAT IS THE DIFFICULTY IN THE PROCESS. NOW, WITH THAT SAID YOU DID HAVE STAFFS PRESENTATION WHICH LEADS INTO MATERIALS TO BE EVALUATED.

BUT I CONDITIONAL USE PROCESS IS PRESUMED THAT THE APPLICANT COMES IN.

STAFF HAS EVALUATED IT TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO BE CONSISTENT WITH OUR CODE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. THE APPLICANT IS PRESUMED TO HAVE PRESENTED A CASE THAT PWOULD BE IN THE FORMATIVE IT UNLESS YOU HAD QUESTIONS IN THE BOOK HOLDS IT AT THE YOU'RE A SINGLE QUESTION ASKED OF THE APPLICANT. AND SO IT IS PRESUMED THIS WOULD BE IN THE AFFIRMATIVE VOTE. THE LEGAL OF VALUATION, THAT IS

THE WAY I SEE IT. >>LISA HUDSON: ALL RIGHT. YES?

>> IN DEFENSE, BRINGING UP THOSE POINTS IN LESS THAN AN ACRE AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

IF WE HAD SOMETHING THAT COULD IDENTIFY THAT BECAUSE OF THE SMALL SPACE AND EVERYTHING ELSE LIKE THAT CREATED SOMETHING A REASONABLE PERSON WOULD THINK WOULD BE A DANGER TO THE FOLKS IN THECOMMUNITY , WE COULD NUDGE MR. SWEENEY DID NOT A LITTLE BIT.

>> ACTUALLY HAD THAT. WE HAVE HAD THAT BEFORE. SPOKE WHAT I AM SAYING IS IN MY MIND WE HAVE THIS TYPE OF APPLICATION ON THE NEXT STREET UP.IN THE AMOUNT, THERE HAS BEEN NOBODY HERE TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR JUDICIAL HEARING TO BE ABLE TO GIVE THAT TO US.

[02:20:04]

UNDERSTANDING MY ROLE HERE, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO SAY ANYTHING.

BUT THE FACT I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING THAT WOULD MAKE ME SAY I WOULD NOT SUPPORT A MOTION TO

ACCEPT THIS. >>LISA HUDSON: DO I HEAR A MOTION?

>> I DIDN'T MAKE THE MOTION. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE HAS CLEARED THE AIR.

IF ANYBODY HAS ANYTHING TO ADD TO THIS, I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR IT.

>> I WOULD LIKE CLARIFICATION. FROM STAFF OR MADAME MAYOR. YOU'RE LOOKING AT A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE CAN APPROVE WITH THE CONDITIONS OF THE FIVE STATED.WE CAN APPROVE WITH THE CONDITION OF THE 5+1, WHICH IS A NO ON STREET.

IS THAT ALL ON BOARD? >> THE WAY I PRESENTED IT TO YOU THIS EVENING WAS WE WERE RECOMMENDING STAFF TO SUPPORT WITH THE PLANNING BOARD HAD ADDED ON.

SO OUR FIRST ONE, THE APPROVAL AS PRESENTED WOULD BE THE INCLUSION OF THE NO ON STREET PARKING. THE SECOND ONE WOULD BE CHANGES TO THE CONDITIONS.

THAT WOULD BE REMOVING THAT OR TO DISAPPROVE. >> OKAY.

>>LISA HUDSON: ALL RIGHT. >> MADAME MAYOR, I MAKE A MOTION I APPROVE STAFF

RECOMMENDATIONS. >> I SECOND THAT. >> COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER.

>> NO. >> COMMISSIONER C JOHNSON. >> YES.

>> COMMISSIONER J JOHNSON. >> YES. >> COMMISSIONER PERONA.

>> YES. >> MAYOR HUDSON. >>LISA HUDSON: YES, MA'AM.

THIS WILL CONTINUE TO BE AN ISSUE FOR US AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE DISCUSSION ON MONDAY.

NOT THAT THAT WILL PROBABLY CLEAR OF EVERYTHING, BUT IT IS A START.

HUNDREDS THE CONSENT AGENDA FOR DENVER SPOKE TO STAFF, NEVER QUESTIONED ANYBODY.I SENT AN EMAIL TO YOU ALL WITH A LETTER FROM OUR ATTORNEY. AND IT WAS SENT TO SWEENEY.

AND STAFF REPORTED BACK TO ME THAT THEY DIDN'T REMEMBER A TIME THE COMMISSION DIDN'T GIVE AN EXTENSION. AND FOR MEMORIES SAKE, WE GOT THE APPROVAL ON NOVEMBER 19 2018. SHORTLY THERE AFTER HE SPENT HALF A MILLION IN THE KAYAK PARK. WE BUILT THAT FIRST. WE DIDN'T HAVE TO.

AND THEN WE CLEARED THE PROPERTY, GOT IT BACK AND PUT A SALES STAFF IN.

AND THEN SHORTLY THEREAFTER, I THINK FIVE MONTHS LATER COVID HIT.

SO OUR TWO YEARS WAS BURNED OUT. AND STAFF SAT HERE, PUT IT ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. NOT ONE QUESTION WAS ASKED OF STAFF.HIS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF HOW YOU RETALIATE. NOW, YOUR ATTORNEYS SHOULD HAVE ADVISED YOU THAT UNDER THE GOVERNORS EMERGENCY ORDER, AS A MATTER OF LAW WE WERE ENTITLED TO OUR EXTENSION.

IT BECAUSE OF THE WAY YOU LIKE TO PUTATIVELY PUNISH HER TO LISTEN TONIGHT UNDER 12 D. WE WANT TO DO IT THE LEGAL WAY. WE WANT SENSIBLE DECISIONS. IT WAS IN A SENSIBLE DECISION, IT WAS PUNITIVE, PUNITIVE, PUNITIVE. YOUR ATTORNEYS SHOULD HAVE NEVER ALLOWED IT TO COME HERE WITHOUT ADVISING YOU WILL IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHAT YOU WERE DOING. YOU DIDN'T HAVE ANY RIGHT TO DO IT.

AND SO NOW WE ASKED TO BE RESCINDED. WE DON'T BELIEVE A LETTER FROM THE ATTORNEY DOES THAT. NOW WE ARE GOING TO SEE DECLARATORY RELIEF IN CIRCUIT COURT AND WE WILL PAY THE BILL FOR THERE'S ALREADY A FEDERAL LAWSUIT FILED.

I DON'T KNOW WHETHER YOU WERE SERVED, BUT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR YOU
