>> MADAM CHAIR. MEMBERS OF THE FBRA BOARD, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE'RE EXCITED TO BE HERE AND TALK ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC PARCEL THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR QUITE SOMETIME. I WILL GET IT LOADED HERE.

THANKS LINDA. 414 AVENUE D.

THAT'S THE SITE OF THE OLD KINGS INN GATEWAY TO LINCOLN PARK DISTRICT. WE RECEIVED AN UNSOLICITED PROPOSAL BACK IN OCTOBER OF 2020 WHICH KIND OF PROMPTED US TO HAVE THIS DISCUSSION. IT WAS DECLARED SURPLUS BACK IN '16 AND IT WAS APPRAISED LATER IN NOVEMBER OF 2020 AFTER WE RECEIVED THE UNLET ME ASK YOU THIS SILTED PROPOSAL FOR 17,500. WE SUBSEQUENTLY ISSUED THE BID2021-017 IN JANUARY OF 2021.

WE RECEIVED THREE RESPONDENTS. THEY WERE EVALUATED BY THE CRA ADVISORY COMMITTEE. THEY WERE EVALUATED ON THE PROPOSED UTILIZATION OF THE PROPERTY THAT WAS 40 POINTS.

PROJECTED TIME LINE WHICH IS 30 POINTS AND THE OVERALL ECONOMIC IMPACT WHICH IS ALSO 30 POINTS.

WE HAD 7 MEMBERS PRESENT DURING THIS MEETING.

THE MAXIMUM POINTS POSSIBLE WAS #00.

FIVE-STAR CAR REPAIR PUT IN BID FOR 12,000 AND RANKED THE HIGHEST AT 660 POINTS. KIB CONSTRUCTION AT 9200 FOR 420 POINT AND SECOND GENERALATION BUILDING CORP PUT IN BID FOR 15,000 AND RANKED LOWEST AT 351.

JUST QUICK NOTE ABOUT THE OTHER TWO PROPOSALS.

KIB CONSTRUCTION WAS LOOKING TO PUT AN OFFICE AND SOME STORAGE THERE ON THE SITE. YOU ALL KNOW IT'S A VERY SMALL SITE. IT'S LIKE POINLT -- 0.11 ACRE.

THEY WERE GOING TO DO OFFICE AND STORAGE.

SECOND GENERATION DIDN'T LIST WHAT THEY WOULD BE DOING WITH THE PROJECT. THAT PLAYED INTO THEIR LOW RANKING. SO SPEAKING ABOUT FIVE-STAR CAR REPAIR. I INCLUDED THEIR ENTIRE SOLICITATION BUT WANTED TO BRIEFLY GO OVER WHAT THEY PROPOSE. THEY ARE GOING TO DOUGH HE'SIVE APPROACH. THEY OWN THAT PROPERTY ON U.S.

ONE. THEY WILL INSTALL A DECK GREATTIVE GREATTIVE DECORATIVE ROT IRON FENCE. INSTALL A LANDSCAPE BUFFER CONTINUOUS SHRUB AND ADDITIONAL TREES THAT WILL KIND OF PLAY INTO THEIR EXISTING BUSINESS.

[00:05:04]

SO THE YELLOW IS OUR PARCEL. THAT'S 1414 AVENUE D.

THE REST THE PROPERTY OWNER ALREADY OWNS THAT CORNER.

YOU CAN SEE SOME RENDERING OF THE LANDSCAPING THE ENTRANCES SOME TREES, I JUST INCLUDED SOME SNIPS OF PROPOSAL.

TYPES OVER LANDSCAPING. THE FENCE WITH THE HIGHWAYMAN ART INCLUDED. AND THEN THERE'S JUST AN IDEA FOR ACROSS THE STREET ARCHWAY INTO LINCOLN PARK.

THAT WOULD BE OUR RESPONSIBILITY.

OUR RECOMMENDATION TO YOU IS AWARD THE BID 2021-017 TO HIGHEST RANKED RESPONDENT WHICH IS MARIA ALEMAN FROM FIVE STAR CAR REPAIR, LLC. ANY QUESTIONS?

>> COMMISSIONER JOHNSON WOULD YOU LIKE TO STOP.

J. JOHNSON. >> I CAN START.

ABSOLUTELY. THIS IS GROUP THAT I TALKED ABOUT PRIOR TO COMMISSIONER C. JOHNSON COMING ONBOARD.

I'VE REACHED OUT. I'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH THE FAMILY OVER TIME AND THEY'VE ALSO BROUGHT IN MR. TODD MOWRY WITH RED TAIL TO BE A PART OF THE TEAM.

THERE'S A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. THAT IS THE GATEWAY INTO LINCOLN PARK AND HOW TO CHANGE THE FEEL OF THAT INTERSECTION.

I BELIEVE AT SOME POINT WE HAVE TO GET INTO CONVERSATION ABOUT THE LINCOLN PARK BOUNDARIES OR I THINK THEY TOLD ME NOT TOO LONG AGO, MR. MIMMS REMINDED THAT IT ONLY COMES UP TO 7TH STREET RIGHT NOW.

>> THE BOUNDARY OF THE HISTORIC DISTRICT.

>> TO ME THAT'S A CONVERSATION FOR LATER.

BUT I THINK IT'S A GREAT PROPOSAL.

THANK YOU. >> ANYBODY ELSE?

>> I THINK SIT TOO. I JUST AM REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE FEATURES THEY ARE PROPOSING AND THE FACT THAT TOOK INTO ACCOUNT WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, ABOUT THE GATEWAY. AND SO YES --

>> I WILL WEIGH IN. I TOO THINK THAT'S THE PART WHEN I SAW THE ARCHWAY. ANY DISCUSSION LOOKING AT THAT, THAT ARCHWAY WOULD HAVE BEEN MEDIUM PART OF THAT BLOCK BECAUSE IT'S A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT BOUNDARY THERE.

AND ANY THOUGHTS ON IT CAN >> ABSOLUTELY.

WE'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THAT FOR SEVERAL YEARS.

YOU NEVER HAD I GUESS THE TYPE OF MOMENTUM OR THE LAND WITH WHICH TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. WE'VE LOOKED EVERYWHERE FROM U.S. 1 TO 7TH STREET TO COME UP WITH SOME SORT OF AESTHETIC GATEWAY THAT LEADS INTO THE LINCOLN PARK AREA.

BUT I BELIEVE NOW WITH PARTNERS SUCH AS THESE WE CAN

MAKE THIS HAPPEN. >> OKAY.

>> MR. PERONA. >> FOR ONE WE HAVE FOLKS THINKING ABOUT THE WHOLE CITY RATHER THAN JUST THEIR PROJECT. I LOVE THAT.

I REALLY DO. WE WANT TO INSTILL ON EVERYBODY RIGHT NOW. IT'S NOT ALWAYS UP TO JUST US.

EVERYONE HAS TO DO THEIR SHARE.

I NOTICED AND I'M GOING THROUGH THIS IN THERE WAS A PROJECT TIME LINE AND POINTS AWA AWARDED FOR THAT. NOT NECESSARILY FOR THIS.

I DO THIS ON ALL OF THEM THAT HAVE THE TIMING ISSUES TO MAKE SURE THAT IT GETS DONE. WHAT FAIL SAFE DO WE HAVE TO GUARANTEE THAT YOU KNOW A YEAR FROM NOW OR TWO YEARS FROM NOW THIS PROJECT ISN'T MOVING FORWARD.

I'M NOT SAYING THEY WHO DO THAT.

IT HAS HAPPENED TO US BEFORE. >> EXCUSE ME FOR BEING A

LITTLE BIT PARANOID ABOUT IT. >> IT'S TRUE.

MADAM CHAIR, COMMISSIONER PERONA, WE DO HAVE SOME PROVISIONS IN PLACE NOW. WE ARE WORKING WITH OUTSIDE COUNSEL WITH ALL SURPLUS PROPERTY THAT WE DISPOSE OF WE HAVE PROVISION THAT SAYS THERE'S A POSSIBILITY OF REVERTER. IF THEY DON'T MEET THE PROVISIONS THAT WE BOTH AGREE ON WE COULD GO IN AND TAKE THE

PROPERTY IF WE SO CHOOSE. >> MADAM CHAIR, IF I MAY FOLLOW UP A LITTLE BIT ON THAT.

>> IT'S BEEN GREAT WORKING WITH CHEYENNE ON THIS.

AS YOU'VE SEEN THESE ARE COMING MORE AND MORE.

WE HAVEN'T HAD THESE. NOW IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS TO A YEAR WE'VE HAD SEVERAL OF THEM.

[00:10:01]

MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE THESE PROTECTION PUT IN PLACE HAS BEEN A LITTLE BIT OF A LEARNING EXPERIENCE.

BECAUSE EACH ONE OF THE PROPERTIES I WILL SAY THIS IS DIFFERENT. BECAUSE WE WILL HAVE SOMEWHERE WE WANTED TO DISPOSE OF THEM. THERE'S NOT A -- MAYBE NOT FOR CRA BUT IF IT'S CITY PROPERTY PERHAPS.

MAINTAIN THEY WANT TO ACCUMULATE IT WITH THE NEXT-DOOR AND HAVE IT BE IN ADDITION TO THEIR PROPERTY.

WE MAY NOT WANT TO REQUIRE THEM TO BUILD SOMETHING.

IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. THERE MAY ALTERNATIVE TIME LINES. THERE MAY BE SOME WE WANT BUILT QUICKLY. 12 TO 18 MONTHS.

OTHERWISE WE MAY GIVE THEM MORE TIME.

THEY HAVE MORE EXTENSIVE PROJECT.

ALL RFP'S IS MAKING SURE THAT'S ON THE FRONT END.

SO IT BECOMES PART OF THE EVALUATION PROCESS.

BECAUSE FOR YOU, IT MAY MORE VALUABLE TO SEE A PROJECT BUILT IN 12 OR 18 MONTHS INSTEAD OF SIT FOR 36 MONTHS.

I WANT YOU TO BE AWARE. WE'RE COGNIZANT OF THAT.

WE'RE BUILDING THOSE INTO ALL OF THE TRANSFERS IF

APPROPRIATE. >> AND THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR US BECAUSE YOU KNOW WE ARE CUSTODIANS OF THE PUBLIC GOOD.

WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE'RE GETTING ALL THE VALUE THAT WE CAN. ESPECIALLY ON THIS, WHEN WE'RE SELLING IT UNDER THE APPRAISAL.

WE'RE PARTNERING IN A WAY IN HELPING WITH CERTAIN COSTS AND AND WHAT WE EXPECT IN RETURN IS A TIMELY PROJECT THAT REALLY ENHANCES OUR COMMUNITY. I'M SURE THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO HELP. I JUST HAD TO ASK THE

QUESTION. >> MADAM MAYOR, IF I COULD HAVE ONE MORE COMMENT. JOHN HAS BEEN PART OFPROCESS.

IT'S GREAT THEY HAVE A PARTNERSHIP THERE.

IT'S OUR PART, THE ARCHWAY IS A GREAT IDEA.

AND IT WOULD REALLY A GREAT FEATURE.

WE HAVE TO KEEP THAT IN MIND FOR THE SOUTH SIDE OF AVENUE D WE SEE SOMETHING HAPPEN ONE DAY WITH THE ABANDONED FUEL GAS STATION THAT'S THERE. MAYBE THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE A NEW DEVELOPMENT IF THAT COMES INTO PLAY TO GET THIS MOVING FORWARD. I'M SURE WE ARE GOING TO NEED AT LEAST MORE REAL ESTATE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE ROAD.

HERE WE HAVE A COMMITMENT. AND YOU KNOW I THINK IT'S A GREAT PRODUCT. GREAT APPLICATION.

VERY POSITIVE AND WE DON'T HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THE KING'S NN ANYMORE. IT'S GONE.

ENTERTAIN A MOTION. >> MOVE TO APPROVE.

>> SECOND. >> THERE'S A MOTION AND A SECOND. CALL THE ROLL PLEASE.

[b. Approval of the Interlocal Agreement for the Downtown Fort Pierce Smart City Initiative between the Fort Pierce Utilities Authority, the City of Fort Pierce, and the Fort Pierce Redevelopment Agency.]

REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY. >> MR. MIMMS.

>> YES, MA'AM. AT THIS TIME WE ARE GOING TO ASK THAT -- ARE YOU COMING BACK DOWN? VERY EXCITED. VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS DEAL HERE. PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT MANAGER IS BACK. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT SMART CITY INITIATIVE WITH OUR PARTNERS AT FPLA.

THIS IS TOP PRIORITY TO EXPAND OUR BROAD-BAND NETWORK AND TO IMPROVE UPON OUR TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICE FOR OUR COMMUNITY. WE DO HAVE MEMBERS OF THE FPLA IN ATTENDANCE TODAY. I WAS HOPING JOHN WAS HERE SO I COULD BEAT UP ON HIM. WE HAVE JASON.

AND THERE'S YOUR ANSWER. ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

>> WE DON'T WANT TO BEAT UP ON THEM.

>> THEY ARE NICE. >> IF JOHN WAS HERE.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING HARD ON THIS AGREEMENT.

FPLA HAS BEEN GREAT WITH REVISIONS.

WE THINK WE BROUGHT A GOOD PRODUCT.

AND JASON IS HERE TO KIND OF GO OVER KIND OF BROAD PERSPECTIVE OF THE PROJECT. IT'S BEEN A WHITE SINCE THEY WERE LAST BEFORE YOU WITH A CONCEPT.

NOW WE'RE HERE WITH CONCRETE INFORMATION.

>> WELCOME. >> THANK YOU.

GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS OF FPRA BOARD.

I'M JASON MITTLER. I'M THE MANAGER FT. PIERCE UTILITIES FOR OVER 18 YEARS. SERVED IN THE ELECTRIC ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT AND BUILT MOST OF THE FIBER INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE HAVE TODAY.

AND I'M SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROJECT AND PRESENTING IT TO YOU GUYS. AS YOU KNOW MR. MIMMS IN 2018 THE BOARD APPROVED THE IDEA OF ASSISTING WITH THE MOVEMENT OF SMART CITY INITIATIVE IN FT. PIERCE.

I THINK THIS DOWNTOWN INITIATIVE WILL BE THE FIRST PILOT PROJECT TO REALLY SHOW CASE WHAT SMART CITY IS.

BECAUSE PEOPLE HEAR ABOUT IT BUT THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND.

AND I THINK SMART CITY INITIATIVE WILL BE ABLE TO START DEFINING THE BOUNDARIES OF WHAT SMART CITY MEANS.

[00:15:04]

FT. PIERCE WILL HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

>> WE WILL BE A SMART CITY. >> TELL US WHAT THAT IS SO WE

UNDERSTAND IT. >> THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO DO REAL QUICK. WHY SMART CITY? AND SO YOU KNOW SMART CITY USES TECHNOLOGY TO ADD SIGNIFICANT VALUE TO THE COMMUNITY BY IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE, CUTTING COST AND SPURRING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. THIS CAN BE DONE BY PROVIDING IMPROVED INFRASTRUCTURE, HELPING OPERATE UTILITIES MORE EFFICIENTLY, IMPROVING TRANSPORTATION, HELPING TO REDUCE OUR ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT, OFFERING SERVICES TO MAKE THE COMMUNITY SAFER, ALLOWING US TO ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY, GATHERING DATA TO MAKE MORE EFFECTIVE DECISIONS AND INCREASING THE DIGITAL EQUITY LOCALLY.

THIS SLIDE SHOW SOMEHOW HOW FPLA AND FPLA NET CAN BE THE HUB THE CITY BECOME A SMART CITY.

THE SMART CITY DOWNTOWN INITIATIVE WILL SERVE AS A GREAT PROJECT TO BRING THIS VISION TO FRUITION.

THE PROJECT PLANS TO INSTALL KEOSKS IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA.

I THINK YOU'VE SEEN THIS SLIDE PREVIOUSLY.

REAL QUICK TALKING ABOUT THE SMART KEOSK AND THE VALUE IT CAN BRING. A FEW VERY OFFERING THE COMMUNITY FREE PUBLIC WIFI HELPING FPLA WITH PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT. POINTING OUR CUSTOMERS TO LOCAL BUSINESSES. WE'RE WORKING WITH TEAM OF PEOPLE FROM THE CITY ST. LUCIE COUNTY AND FPLA TO DEVELOP THE LOOK, THE FEEL AND THE CONTENT OF THESE DEVICES.

WE'LL BE ABLE TO BRAND THEM. YOU KNOW, WRAP THEM OR THEY WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE THE SPECIFIC FEEL FOR FT. PIERCE AND EACH KEOSK CAN BE INDIVIDUALLY.

FOR EXAMPLE, THE ONES IN THE MAN MANATEE CENTER. HOWEVER WE WHAT PRESIDENT.

WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO KIND OF CREATE THAT FEEL FOR OURSELVES. THIS MAP SHOWS THE LOCATIONS OF THE PROPOSED KEOSKS. WE'RE HAVING TWO THREE-SIDED KEOSKS. I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THIS THE FIRST TIME THAT THE VENDOR HAS CREATED THREE-SIDED KEOSK.

THEY SIT IN MIAMI AND LOUIE VUTON DISTRICT.

AND ATLANTA, NEW YORK, AND -- IT'S A TREMENDOUS THING TO ME THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MORE ADVANCE TECHNOLOGY THAN SOME OF THE LARGER CITIES. THESE THREE-SIDED KEOSK SIT BETWEEN MANATEE CENTER, AVENUE A AND MELODY LANE.

THERE'S TWO, TWO-SIDED KEOSK AND ORANGE AND SECOND STREET.

INDIAN RIVER DRIVE AND AVENUE A.

KEOSK ON THE WHEELS. WHAT THAT MEANS IS THIS GIVES -- WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE STORING OR STAGING IT.

BUT ARGENT WILL BRING IT DOWN TO SAY WE HAVE A BIG FOURTH OF JULY FESTIVAL. WE WANT ADDITIONAL KEOSK TO DO SOMETHING WITH. THAT'S JUST ANOTHER THINK FOR US. DOESN'T COST US ANYTHING FOR IT. I THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY GOOD THING TO THROW INTO THE PIE. HERE SHOWS A 3-D RENDERING OF ONE OF THE PROPOSED KEOSK. THREE-SIDED KEOSK.

ST STANDS ABOUT 7-FEET TALL.

WE WOULD INSTALL BRICK PAVERS UNDERNEATH IT.

THAT COST IS COVERED IN THE PROJECT.

YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THE LOOK AND FEEL OF HOW IT SITS.

WHERE IT WOULD SIT. THEY ARE ALL LED-TOUCH SCREEN MONITORS. LOCATION WERE ALL CHOSEN BY A

GROUP OF PEOPLE. >> CITY ENGINEER WAS INCLUDED IN THAT TOO FOR KIND OF SITE LINES AND ACCESS POINTS.

BECAUSE THEY WILL BE ON OUR SIDEWALKS FOR ACCESSIBILITY AND ALL OF THAT. I THINK WE BROUGHT IN THE RIGHT INDIVIDUALS TO MAKE SURE THE INSTALL GOES RIGHT.

AND THAT EVERYBODY IS HAPPY WITH THE LOCATIONS.

>> SECOND LOCATION IS ANOTHER SCREEN WHICH IS THE CORNER OF MELODY LANE AND AVENUE A. AND SO THIS WILL BE AT THE CORNER THERE. AND HELP WITH THE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT AS YOU KNOW FRIDAY-FEST.

TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF PEOPLE. THERE'S AN AREA THAT WILL BE ABLE TO GET DATA AND ALLOW THEM TO ENGAGE THIS KEOSK.

>> FARMER'S MARKET, TOO. >> FARMER'S MARKET.

>> ANYTHING ELSE THAT'S HAPPENING.

IT WILL BE A GREAT IDEA. THE SECOND -- THE THIRD LOCATION IS NEXT TO AVENUE A AND NORTH VIRGINIA AV.

THE FINAL LOCATION IS CORNER OF ORANGE AVENUE AND SECOND STREET. AND THEN HERE'S JUST AN EXAMPLE OF MAYBE WHAT THAT KEOSK ON WHEELS KIND OF WOULD LOOK LIKE. WHICH COULD MAYBE BE USED FOR -- MAYBE LET'S THINK ABOUT NEW YEAR'S EVE; RIGHT? WE HAVE A BIG PARTY DOWN THERE.

[00:20:02]

THE DROPPING OF THE BALL IN NEW YORK.

WHEN THEY COME BACK TO LIFE. BUT YOU KNOW, IT WILL BE AMAZING WHERE THE NEW YORK PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO SEE LITTLE OLD FT. PIERCE ON THEIR SCREEN.

WE'RE OVER THERE WAVING AT THEM.

THAT'S THE DIVISION I SEE. HOW TREMENDOUS THAT WILL BE TO ALLOW FT. PIERCE TO BE SEEN TO THE ENTIRE NATION.

>> MADAM MAYOR. I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE MOVING KEOSK. THE OTHER PERMANENT STRUCTURES WILL BE THERE. THAT'S A CONTINUOUS LOOP OF INFORMATION ADVERTISING, ET CETERA.

THIS PORTABLE KEOSK, COULD THAT BE MOVED TO HOT SPOTS AROUND THE CITY WHERE THERE MAY BE EVENTS AND WE WANT TO

FOSTER ADVERTISING. >> ABSOLUTELY.

THE THING IS WITH ARGENT BEING A SMALL SEMIAGILE COMPANY.

WE WORK WITH THE CEO AND THE COO.

THAT'S WHO IS WALKED WITH US. AND THEY ARE REALLY INTERESTED IN THE DEPLOYMENT. THIS IS FIRST TIME THEY'VE HAD FIBER TO THEIR KEY OF COURSE. MOST OF THE TIME THEY ARE CONNECTED ETHERNET OR WIRELESS CARD.

THIS WILL ALLOW THEM TO DO THINGS NAVAL NEVER BEEN ABLE TO DO. STREAMING CONCERT.

HIGH DEC. TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.

AS LONG AS THERE'S AN INTERNET CONNECTION.

FOR EXAMPLE LINCOLN PARK THE SMART CITY NEIGHBORHOOD INITIATIVE MAY BE IN -- THERE'S PUBLIC WIFI THAT SHOULD BE THERE. MAYBE THAT KEOSK COULD BE MOVED. WE WOULD HAVE TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT THOSE DETAILS. BUT I THINK THEY WOULD BE OPEN. THAT'S MY THOUGHT EXACTLY.

EITHER THAT OR MAYBE THERE WAS AN EVENT SOMEWHERE IN THAT AREA. WE WANTED TO TRY TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE THINGS MAYBE SOME THINGS COMING OR EVENTS COMING. ONE OF TWO KIND OF BROADCAST TO THAT CROWD THAT MAY BE THERE.

BUT SO THE REQUIREMENT IS I GUESS YOU HAVE HAVE POWER;

RIGHT? >> YOU HAVE TO HAVE POWER.

IT'S LIKE A TV. IT HAS THE MODEL, THE CITY, WE HAVE TO TALK WITH THEM ABOUT THOSE DETAILS.

I THINK THEY WOULD WORK WITH US ON IT.

BUT NO SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS OF FIBER OR ETHER AT THAT

SPOT. >> NO.

IT'S WIRELESSLY. WHATEVER IS BEAMING HERE WOULD BEAM OVER AND WE WOULD HAVE SPECIAL UNDERGROUND CABLE OR

ANYTHING. >> THAT'S THE POINT OF THE

MOBILE KEOSK. >> YOU CAN EVERYONE WILL HAVE A BACK UP MOBILE CONNECTION. BUT THE VALUE OF THE FIBER CONNECTION DIRECTLY TO IT IT ALLOWS THEM TO DOWNLOAD CONTENT. IF THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE SAID I HAVE A VIDEO OF EXTREMELY HIGH DEF OF US FLYING OVER A DRONE FOOTAGE FLYING INTO THE INLET.

ON A CARD. IT MAY TAKE COUPLE OF MINUTES FOR THEM TO DOWNLOAD. FOUR OF FIVE MINUTES FOR THEM.

IN THIS CASE IT'S SECONDS. YOU GET A LOT MORE FUNCTIONALITY. THERE'S A NEED OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO ENGAGE THE YOUTH BY HAVING GAINING ACTIVITIES DOWNTOWN. THERE'S -- THESE ARE JUST SUPER COMPUTERS. WE CAN DO WHATEVER WE WANT

WITH THEM. >> ONE OTHER QUESTION.

MY UNDERSTANDING CORRECTLY. IF WE WANTED TO HAVE THAT, WHO WOULD MOVE IT? ARGENT WOULD MOVE IT?

>> ARGENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MOVING IT AND PICKING IT UP.

>> I'M NOT GOING TO BE OUT THERE ROLLING THIS THING.

>> HE'S THINKING OF OPPORTUNITIES.

>> ABSOLUTELY. I AM.

I THINK THAT IT THOSE BE BENEFICIAL TO THEM.

THERE'S THIS AD SHARING REVENUES SECTION WITH THEM BUT I THINK IF WE MADE A CASE TO SAY HEY WE DO THIS BIG FESTIVAL. IT MAKES SENSE.

THEY WILL SUPPORT US. IF WE HAVE TO DO IT EVERY FRIDAY. IT MAY BECOME TEDIOUS TO THEM.

THERE'S COST ASSOCIATED WITH IT.

ON THE CASE-BY-CASE BASIS. I THINK IT'S MORE OF LARGER EVENT. MAYBE THE OPENING.

THIS IS BIG DEAL. WE WILL BE DOING THIS.

THEY WILL SUPPORT US ON THOSE TYPE OF THINGS.

I THINK THE CHALLENGE HEY, WE ARE HOLDING SOME OTHER BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT. MAYBE THAT'S NOT A BIG ENOUGH EVENT. WE CAN TALK TO THEM.

>> THAT COULD ALSO BE FOR THE ROOT PROJECT.

THAT'S YOUNG PEOPLE THEY WILL UNDERSTAND THAT.

EXACTLY. THE OTHER COMMENT ABOUT THIS LOCATION, TOO FRIDAY FEST IS REVAMPED A LITTLE BIT BY MAIN STREET. THIS WILL CHANGE.

THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THIS AREA FOR THE VISITORS THAT DO COME TO FRIDAY FEST TO HAVE THIS INTERACTIVE WAY AND

[00:25:02]

I'M GLAD YOU PINPOINTED THAT LOCATION FOR THAT REASON.

>> THAT'S A BIG PART. >> QUESTION.

BASED ON COMMISSIONER JOHNSON'S POINT.

WHO COLLECTS THE DATA ON THIS. DOES THE CITY GET THE DATA.

BECAUSE DATA IS KEY. >> WE WILL OWN THE DATA.

AND SO YOU KNOW, FT. PIERCE UTILITIES.

>> WE WORK TOGETHER AS PARTNERS.

THE IDEA THAT WE'RE IN THAT TECHNOLOGY REALM.

THERE'S LOTS OF PIECES OF DATA THAT CAN BE COLLECTED.

YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THING THAT DO WITH THE SELFIE WHICH IS NEED YOU GET TO TAKE SELFIE.

YOU TECH OR E-MAIL YOURSELF. THAT E-MAIL IS NOW SAVED.

THE PHONE NUMBER THE SAVED. AND SO WE COULD ESSENTIALLY USE IT FOR WHATEVER PURPOSES WE WOULD LIKE TO.

WE COULD ALSO INCLUDE MAYBE SOMETHING THAT SAYS WHERE ARE YOU VISITING FROM? WE GOT SOMEONE FROM AUSTRALIA OR SOMETHING ELSE. AND NOW MAYBE AS ONE OF -- I'M JUST THINKING OFF THE CUFF HERE.

THERE'S A MAP OF THE WORLD OF ONE OF -- OF ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT VISITED FT. PIERCE. REALITY JUST IMAGINING OF HIGH POWER COMPUTER THAT IS SET UP TO ENGAGE PEOPLE.

THERE'S NOT ANY LIMITATIONS. OBVIOUSLY CERTAIN C CONFIGURATION WE MAY NEED. WE NEED TO PAY FOR THAT.

WE WANT TO DO A SPECIAL APP OR CONFIGURATION.

THERE MAY BE COST ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.

AND SO ALL THAT WILL BE TALKED ABOUT INCLUDING THE COST OF BASIC CONFIGURATION. THEY WILL BE DOING I DON'T WANT TO SAY 3-D MAP. IT'S SOMEWHAT 3 DIMENSIONAL THE MAPPING OF THE DOWNTOWN AREA.

THEY USUALLY FOCUS ON FOUR OR FIVE BLOCKS.

AND THE WAY THAT THE KEOSK WORKED BEST IS WHEN THERE'S MULTIPLE KEOSKS, AND IT PUSHES PEOPLE THROUGH THE CITY.

LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE. IF SOMEONE AT THE VISITOR'S CENTER THEY CLICK ON THE KEOSK.

MAYBE THEY CAN DO A SCAVENGER HUNT IN THAT SSCAVENGER PUSHES THEM THROUGH THE ENTIRE DOWNTOWN AND POINTS OUT.

THEY CAN SHOOT IT RIGHT ON TO THEIR PHONE.

NOW THE PHONE WILL TAKE THEM TO THE NEXT KEOSK AND TAKE THEM TO THIS PLACE. THIS IS WITH YOU SHOULD EAT.

YOU SHOULD DO ALL THESE VARIOUS THINGS AND IT'S DESIGNED TO PUSH PEOPLE TO THE LOCAL ACTIVITIES.

RESTAURANTS, TO HELP SPUR THAT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND HELP

THE EXPERIENCE IN FT. PIERCE. >> JUST FROM FPRE STANDPOINT.

WHO OWNS THE DATA. THAT'S IMPORTANT.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THAT IRONED OUT AND THE CONTRACTS OF THE DATA AND THE USE OF THAT DATA.

BECAUSE THAT'S KEY. DATA IS KEY.

THE ASPECTS OF THE ADVERTISEMENT AND PEOPLE ON THAT AND WHO IS CONTROLLING THAT.

THOSE ARE THINGS THAT PERK UP IN MY MIND BECAUSE THOSE ARE OPPORTUNITIES MR. MIMMS WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO REVENUES.

I WHAT PRESIDENT TO MAKE SURE WE LOOK AT THAT.

>> COMMISSIONER PERONA >> YEAH.

YOU'RE FEW THOUSAND FEET OVER MY HEAD RIGHT NOW.

I KIND OF GET IT. MY QUESTION IS ABOUT ADAPTABILITY. ALL THE CHANGES THAT ARE HAPPENING NOW IN TECHNOLOGY I'M THINKING TO MYSELF ESPECIALLY LIKE PARKING. THE CENSORS IN BEING ABLE TO IDENTIFY AVAILABLE PARKING SPOTS.

OR HOW MANY PLACES ARE AVAILABLE IN OUR PARKING GARAGE AT GIVEN TIME. CAN THIS INTERACT WITH THIS, WHERE PEOPLE CAN FIND OUT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THEIR OWN

COMMUNITY AND AVAILABILITY? >> SURE.

THAT'S THE VISION OF SMART CITY.

I'M GOING TO GO BACK TO THE SLIDE.

AGAIN, PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT SMART CITY.

YOU HEAR IT. YOU HEAR THE BUZZ WORD.

NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IT MEANS. >> YOU'RE RIGHT.

SMART CITY IS SIMPLE. IT'S A CONNECTED CITY.

AND SO SURE. YOU NEED A SENSOR AT THAT PARKING SPOT. CAN -- IF THERE'S A SENSOR AT THAT PARKING SPOT, THEY COULD THEN POP UP ON THOSE KEOSKS.

YOU KNOW, WHATEVER YOU WANTED TO DO.

IF YOU WANT TO PUT SENSORS IN A STREET LIGHT.

IT COULD READ VARIOUS THINGS. THERE'S MANY WAYS TO DO IT.

AND SO THE NEXT SLIDE I WAS GOING TO GO THE NEXT PHASE WHICH WE'RE NOT COMPLETELY GOT THAT WRAPPED UP TIGHT.

IT'S A SMART LIGHTS. WHEN IT COMES TO DEPLOYING SMART POLES, SMART LIGHTS, WIFI, THERE'S MANY WAYS TO DO IT. THE TECHNOLOGY IS CHANGING EVERY MONTH. THE WAY THAT THE INTEGRATE FROM YOU IF YOU GO BACK AND LOOK FIVE YEARS AGO LIKE IN THE CITY. THEY HAVE REFRIGERATORS ON THE SIDE OF POLES. YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THAT.

[00:30:02]

AND SO THAT'S WHY I'M SUGGESTING THAT WE WORK WITH YOUR STAFF TO PUT TOGETHER AN RFP TO GO OUT AND SAY, HEY, WHAT TYPE OF TECHNOLOGY DO WE WANT TO SHOW CASE OUTSIDE OF THE KEOSKS. INSTEAD OF ME JUST SELECTING A POLE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT THE DO WITH IT. I BELIEVE THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE IS THE END USER. BEST EXAMPLE IS THIS.

60 YEARS AGO, STREET LIGHTS DIDN'T EXIST.

JUST WASN'T A THING. I CAN'T PROVE THIS.

BUT THIS IS JUST MY THOUGHT. I THINK THAT UTILITY PROBABLY TALKED TO A VENDOR. VENDOR BROUGHT A STREET LIGHT AND SAID HERE'S A STREET LIGHT CAN YOU PUT IT ON THE POLE.

GUESS WHAT HAPPENED. SECURITY BECOME BETTER, SAFER.

THEY LIGHT UP THE STREET AND THEN YOU LOOK AROUND.

STREET LIGHTS ARE EVERYWHERE. WIFI, CONNECTIVITY.

ALL OF THE COMPONENTS ARE ALL GOING TO GROW.

THEY WILL MANIFEST FROM THESE TYPE OF PILOT PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE END LOOKS LIKE. I COULD TELL YOU THAT THROUGHOUT ALL INDUSTRY EXPERTS, FIBER OPTICS IS THE KEY. IT'S THE ONE MEDIUM.

IT'S THE ONE THING THAT IF YOU INVEST IN FIBER IT'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE. THEY CAN'T BREAK THE LIMITS OF IT. THE WIFI IS CHANGING.

THE ELECTRONICS ARE CHANGING. ALL THESE PIECES ARE CHANGING.

WE PUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN. WE WILL HAVE A SMART CITY.

>> I WILL TAKE YOUR WORD FOR IT.

>> WE SET ASIDE 75,000 TO WORK WITH SMART POLES.

WHATEVER THAT LOOKS LIKE. WITH STAFF WE'LL WORK WITH THAT AND COME BACK TO THE BOARD FOR THAT.

>> HERE'S A SUMMARY OF THE FIVE PHASES OF THE PROJECT WITH SOME ESTIMATED TIME LINES AND PROJECTED COST FOR EACH PHASE. OBVIOUSLY THAT'S ARE ALL ESTIMATES. THE GOAL HERE IS TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE, CUT OUR COST AND SPUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. COMMISSIONER PERONA?

>> THEY COME UP A COUPLE OF HUNDRED FEET FROM THE OCEAN.

ANYTHING ELECTRONIC LAST PROBABLY ONE-TENTH THE TIME OF THE LIFETIME. YOU KNOW I WONDER ABOUT THE HIGHLY SENSITIVE COMPUTERS AND ALL THAT STUFF.

I'M SURE YOU WILL ENCAPSULATE IT.

YOU TALK ABOUT PAVERS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

I THINK YOU BETTER ANCHOR THOSE SUCKERS REALLY DEEP.

WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENS HERE SOMETIMES DURING THE SUMMER.

I'M NOT GOING TO SAY THE WORD. BUT IT GETS NASTY.

I LOOK AT THREE-SIDED KEOSK TURNS INTO BOX EASY.

I'M SURE ALL THOSE THINGS ARE CONSIDERED THE ENGINEERING ON THEM MAKE SURE THAT THEY DON'T BECOME HAZARD TO FOLKS AND THAT THE WAY THEY ARE BUILT IS MADE FOR COASTAL AREAS LIKE OURSELVES SO WE'RE NOT DEALING WITH REPLACEMENTS ALL THE

TIME. >> SURE.

WE WILL ANSWER THAT QUESTION. THE GREAT THING IS WE'RE NOT RESPONSIBLE TO REPAIR OR TO REPLACE THEM.

IF A CAR GETS IT. IT'S NOT OUR PROBLEM.

PER THE CONTRACT ARGENT WOULD REPLACE THEM NO COST TO US.

THEY ARE MEETING THE CURRENT WIND STANDARDS OF THE AREA.

SO THEY WILL BE PERMITTED THROUGH THE CITY.

THEY WILL PROVIDE FOUNDATIONAL DETAILS SIGNED AND SEALED BY PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS. ALL THOSE THINGS WILL BE CONSIDERED. THE ONES THAT I VISITED DOWN IN MIAMI IN THE LOWRIE VUTON DISTRICT.

IT'S A COASTAL COMMUNITY. I THINK THEY'VE BEEN THERE THREE YEARS. I COULDN'T TELL.

THEY LOOKED GOOD. AS PART OF THE AGREEMENT.

THERE'S MAINTENANCE SCHEDULED. YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND AS AD-SHARING REVENUE MODEL, IF IT DOESN'T LOOK WELL, AND THE SCREEN IS NOT CLEAR. IT'S NOT BRIGHT, I'M NOT GOING TO PAY TO HAVE MY ADVERTISEMENT ON THERE.

THERE'S AN INVESTMENT ON THEIR SIDE.

THAT'S WHY I LIKE THIS PROJECT.

BECAUSE IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT I HAVE TO MAINTAIN.

I'M NOT A KEOSK PROFESSIONAL. >> THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.

[00:35:13]

WE INTEND ON SPREADING THIS TECHNOLOGY THROUGHOUT OUR CITY. ESPECIALLY THE LINCOLN PARK DISTRICT. I INTEND TO WORK WITH HARVEY AND JASON ON THIS FOR MANY, MANY MOONS.

AND WE'RE GOING TO GET THIS DONE.

>> WE HAVE A LOT OF VISITORS COME TO THIS COMMUNITY.

DO WE SHOW THIS INTERACTIVE SMART CITY.

WHATEVER. HOW DO THEY FIND OUT ABOUT

THIS? >> WE COULD WORK WITH STAFF TO ASSIST IN THAT. ONE OF THE THINGS WE WORK WITH CHARLOTTE. COUNTY OF TOURISM.

THIS IS PILOT PROJECT FOR THE ENTIRE COUNTY.

SHE WANTS TO PUT THE KEOSK THROUGHOUT ALL OF THE COUNTY.

IN TRADITION AND VARIOUS THINGS.

WE WANT TO CROSS POLLINATE. MAYBE IF YOU VISIT TRADITION AND THEY'RE KEOSK AND YOU CLICK ON AND SEE THINGS TO DO.

SOMETHING POPPINGS UP AT SUNRISE THEATER.

I DIDN'T KNOW. BOOK TICKETS NOW.

I'M BOOKING A TICKET FOR SUNRISE.

THERE'S MANY WAYS TO ENGAGE PEOPLE.

IF PEOPLE WALK TO GO TOWN TOWN.

THEY WILL RUN INTO THE KEOSK ALTERNATE THE CORNER OF SECOND AND ORANGE. IF THEY WALK DOWN AVENUE A.

THEY WILL RUN INTO THE KEOSK DOWN INDIAN RIVER DRIVE AND AVENUE A. IF YOU GO TO VISITOR'S CENTER AT 177 GABLES YOU WILL WALK OUTSIDE AND SEE THE KEOSK.

THEY ARE DESIGNED FOR PEOPLE TO SEE AND ENGAGE.

THAT'S WHY THEY ARE SO BRIGHT. THAT'S WHY THEY ARE BIG.

BUT I THINK THERE'S OTHER WAYS FOR US TO MARKET IT, FACEBOOK AND SOCIAL MEDIA. TO SALE THAT POINT.

>> DO YOU KNOW ARE THEY PRONE TO VANDALISM? HAVE YOU TALKED TO THEM ABOUT THAT?

>> THEY MARKET THEM AS BASEBALL BAT PROOF.

THE IDEA THEY ARE DESIGNED EXTREMELY THICK.

IFFIST ARGEN AND I SOMEONE'S GOING TO HAVEN'TLIZE THIS THING. I WOULDN'T WANT TO COME AND REPLACE IT. THOSE SCREENS ARE EXPENSIVE.

THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING. I ASSUME THEY WOULD HAVE TRIED. THAT'S WHAT THEY PUT ON THE

POWERPOINT. >> THE COOL THING ABOUT THIS SET UP. THEY ARE NOT OUR KEOSK.

THE MINUTE THERE'S AN ISSUE. IT'S ARGENT.

I THINK THAT'S HELPFUL. AS SOON WE ALL KNOW TECHNOLOGY AS SOON AS SOMETHING COMES OUT IT'S NEWER AND BETTER.

WE HAVE THAT ABILITY TO CAN'T TO GROW WITH ARGENT.

THE MINUTE WE POST DOWNTOWN MAP WITH BUSINESSES AND ATTRACTION. THE MINUTE WE PRINT IT THERE'S CHANGE. THIS INFORMATION WILL BE CONSTANTLY AVAILABLE. HELP LOCALS AND TOURS AND EVERYTHING ELSE. WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT IT.

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING. WE HAD BEEN TALKING TO TDC.

THEY WERE GOING TO SPEARHEAD THE PROJECT.

THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. WE'RE GLAD THAT FPLA IS PARTNERING TO MAKE THIS HEALITY.

>> TOMORROW WE CAN TALK ABOUT WHERE THE TDC.

>> I'M LOADING THE GUN. >> DON'T SAY THAT.

TOURISM DEVICE. I THINK IT'S GREAT.

ONE LAST QUESTION. WITH THE KEOSK, DOES IT TIE INTO THE CELL PHONE. DO YOU KNOW THE TECHNOLOGY IF IT'S APP ASSOCIATED WITH THE KEOSK.

CAN YOU PUSH INFORMATION FROM THAT TO YOUR PHONE?

>> YES. YES.

THERE WILL BE A QR CODE. IT'S DESIGNED TO COVID CAUTIOUS YOU KNOW SAY I DON'T WANT TO TOUCH THE MONITOR.

AS SOON AS YOU IT HAS FOUR CAMERAS.

MAYBE IF YOU ARE MALE OR FEMALE.

ALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF THINGS. HE'S HAPPY.

IT WILL POP UP. THE KEOSK IS ON YOUR PHONE.

YOU TAKE THE KEOSK WITH YOU. I LIKE THAT.

[00:40:01]

I THINK ABOUT THE AREAS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NOW ARE LARGELY FOOT TRAFFICKED AREAS. AND THERE ARE OTHER PARTS OF OUR COMMUNITY WHERE THERE ARE CULTURE ASPECTS THAT WILL BE DISCOVERED AS A RESULT OF THIS TYPE OF TECHNOLOGY WHERE WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF FOOT TRAFFIC.

BUT IF THERE COULD BE A WAY OF PUSHING THIS OUT THROUGH QR CODES AND OTHER THINGS SO THAT THE TECHNOLOGY AND ADVANTAGE TO GO THERE AND FIND THE HISTORIC TOUR OF FT. PIERCE OR THE DUST TRAILS OR AFRICAN-AMERICAN TOURS OR HIGHWAY MAN TOUR CAN BE THERE AND PEOPLE CAN KNOW THAT.

>> I THINK THERE'S REALLY A LIMIT OF WHAT WE WANT TO DO.

THE GOAL IS TO ENGAGE THE DOWNTOWN IN THIS AREA IF THIS PROJECT IS SUCCESSFUL. ARGENT WOULD BE WILLING TO PUT 9THEM ON THE BEACH OR PUT THEM MAYBE IN LINCOLN PARK.

IT'S ALL THERE'S OBVIOUSLY EXPENSES AND REVENUE.

IF THE REVENUES EXCEED THE EXPENSES.

I THINK THEY ARE GAME FOR PUTTING MORE.

IT REALLY DEPENDS ON THE FOOT TRAFFIC.

WHAT TYPE OF THINGS AS PEACOCK ARCH DISTRICT BECOMES MORE OF FOOT TRAFFICKED AREA. I THINK THE KEOSK COULD MOVE INTO THOSE AREAS. IT'S CONSTANTLY EVOLVING.

AND SO THE KEY IS ONCE WE GET THE FIBER OPTICS TO IT E.- WHATEVER YOU PUT ON TOP OF IT IT CAN EVOLVE.

THAT INITIAL INFRASTRUCTURE WILL BE THERE.

>> WOULD THAT REQUIRE A STAFF PERSON THINKING OF WHAT TO PUT ON THERE AND CHANGING IT DAILY?

>> I HOPE I DON'T OPEN UP A CAN OF WORMS.

>> WHAT I -- YOU ASKED ABOUT THE AD REVENUE.

THERE'S EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH THE KEOSKS.

THESE THINGS ARE PRETTY EXPENSIVE JUST TO RUN ON DAILY BASIS. THEY RUN 24 HOURS A DAY.

THEY HAVE COST EFFICIENT LIGHTING SO AT CERTAIN HOURS THEY POWER DOWN. THE WAY THAT IT'S STRUCTURED.

REVENUE COME TO FPLA NET BECAUSE WE MANAGE THE CONTENTS. THE GOAL IS THAT ANY EXCESS REVENUE COULD THEN BE INVESTED BACK INTO SMART CITY SERVICES AND TECHNOLOGIES AND VARIOUS THINGS.

KIND OF YOU KNOW THAT'S HOW YOU FEED THIS MONSTER.

IT'S BECAUSE WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO GROW THIS.

AND SO THAT'S THE OBJECTIVE. >> I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE QUESTION. I THINK THE QUESTION IS, HOW DO WE GET THIS STUFF UPDATED. IF THE CITY TRIES TO PUSH OUT SOMETHING RIGHT OR WE NEED SOMETHING URGENTLY PUSHED OUT.

IF WE HAVE BIG FESTIVAL. >> WHAT WE DO.

WE GO THROUGH ARGENT. THEY ARE RESPONSESY.

BECAUSE WE HAVE THE FIBER INFRASTRUCTURE.

IT WILL BE UPLOADED IMMEDIATELY.

I PERSONALLY DON'T WANT TO BE THE CREATOR OF THESE ADS.

IF -- IF WE HAVE A TEN-SECOND LOOP EVERY MINUTE.

I'M READING IT NOW FOR WHAT WE WANT, YOU KNOW THE IDEA OF HEY, HIGHWAYMAN. I WOULD ASSUME CHEYENNE --

>> I THINK WE COME UP WITH SOME TYPE OF SOP.

JUST LIKE WE DO FOR NEW DIGITAL --

>> RIGHT. >> WE HAVE A PRESS RELEASE COMING OUT WITH INFORMATION. THAT'S ONE KIND OF NOTCH IN OUR BELT HOW WE WILL GET THIS INFORMATION OUT THERE.

AND WITH HELP OF THE TDC, OUR CONTENT.

YOUR CONTENT. WE NEED TO STREAMLINE THAT AND MAYBE TICKETING SYSTEM LIKE WE DO WITH IT OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES. WE'LL DEFINITELY MANAGE IT.

>> LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT'S IN THE CONTRACT.

LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT. ADMINISTRATOR OF THE CONTRACT WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR WORKING WITH VENDOR SET UP MANAGE INFORMATION CONTENT. CITY WILL APPROVE ALL CITY RELATED CONTENT BEFORE LIVE. CITY AND FPLA WILL BE PROVIDED FREE MARKETING SPACE ON THE KEOSK FOR ADVERTISING INFORMATION DISPLAYS WHAT HAVE YOU IN THE FORM OF TEN-SECOND SPOT ON EACH ONE-MINUTE ADVERTISING LOOP.

IT SAYS THAT FPLA AND THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE WILL SHARE IN THE EQUALLY DISTRIBUTED TIME FOR THAT TEN SECONDS.

>> THAT'S IN ADDITION TO THE STATUS CONTENT THAT WE WOULD

HAVE AS WELL. >> LIKE THE MAP OR THE HISTORICAL INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE ON THE TRACK.

IT'S MORE ADVERTISING RELATED. NOT JUST THIS IS WHERE YOU ARE

[00:45:01]

FUTURE. >> IT'S TOUCH SENSITIVE.

IT WILL GO TO STANDARD HOME PAGE.

IF THEY WALK UP IT WILL GO TO STANDARD HOME PAGE.

THERE'S WAY TO CONFIGURE THE KEOSK.

ALL THAT IS KIND OF -- WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO WORK WITH THEM AND BE FLEXIBLE. WE HAVE DOWNTOWN BUSINESS OWNERS IN THE AUDIENCE TO HEAR ANOTHER SUBJECT.

BUT THEY ARE HEARING ABOUT THIS ONE AND THERE'S

ADVERTISING OPPORTUNITIES. >> THE WAY THEY WILL -- THE KEOSK WILL COME, WE -- THEY HAVE AN AD THIRD PARTY AD COMPANY FOCUSED ON NATIONAL AD.

THEY 880,000 A PIECE. THESE KEOSK ARE EXPENSIVE.

BUT FOR THEM IT COMES LOADED. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE CAN'T TAKE A NATIONAL AD OFF. OR THERE'S LEVELS OF ADVERTISEMENT. EVERY BUSINESS WILL WORK WITH ARGENT. THIS WILL BE PART OF THE WORK WE HAVE TO DO. WHEN BUSINESSES MOVE IN AND OUT BECAUSE IT'S NOT GOOGLE MAPS.

BECAUSE THEY WILL HAVE RICH CONTENT.

WE WANT TO UPDATE AND SAY, HEY, HARD AX JUST MOVED INTO THIS AREA. AND ALL OF A SUDDEN.

SOMEONE LOOKS UP AND THERE THEY ARE.

YOU SCROLL TO THE AREA. COULD BE EXTENT YOU CLICK ON IT AND THERE'S A LIVE STREAM IN THE AREA.

I LOVE THE IDEA OF SUNRISE THEATER IS STREAMING RIGHT INTO OPENINGENT. THERE'S FIVE MORE TICKETS AVAILABLE. BOOK A TICKET NOW.

>> WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO WHAT WE WANT.

>> HAVE THEY USED THE LIGHT POST THE NEXT STEP THAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT? HAVE YOU SEEN THOSE.

HAS ANY OTHER TOWN OVER CITY USED THESE?

>> A LOT OF PLACES HAVE DEPLOYED THE WIRELESS ROUTER OPTION DOWN BELOW THE BOTTOM LEFT.

WHERE YOU KIND OF A WIFI SIGNAL.

THIS THE REAL SIMPLE. YOU PROVID PUBLIC WIFI.

THAT'S YOUR CHEAPEST OPTION. UV HUB GOES INTO THE STREET LIGHTS. FPLA AND THE CITY WERE SMART ENOUGH WHEN THEY REPLACED THEY PUT THE 7-PIN LIGHT ADAPTOR ON TOP. THE UV HUBS WOULD PLUG RIGHT INTO IT. IT'S SLEEKER AND NICE DINE.

THEN YOU HAVE A SMART POLL OPTION WHICH HAS ALL TYPES OF OTHER SENSORS AND DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE WOULD WANT.

AGAIN THAT'S WHY WE DID -- >> WHAT WOULD YOU WANT BESIDES

LIGHT? >> YOU MIGHT HAVE CAMERAS? YOU COULD HAVE A WARNING. SPEAKER FOR MUSIC.

THERE'S DIFFERENT COLORS FOR EVACUATION.

IT'S ALL RED. SHOWS PEOPLE HOW TO LEAVE.

>> THERE'S DIFFERENT TYPE OF LIGHTING CONTROLS TO SAVE ENERGY. THERE'S THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS. YOU COULD HAVE AIR QUALITY SENSORS. IF YOU ARE IN A MAJOR METROPOLITAN AREA. AIR QUALITY IS A BIG ISSUE FOR

SOME PEOPLE. >> IT'S CONSTANTLY GOING AND TO ADDRESS MR. PERONA COMMENT THE MORE SENSOR BUILT IN, THE

MORE COST THERE WILL BE. >> RIGHT.

WELL YOU'VE WOWED US. ANY OTHERS QUESTIONS?

>> STAFF, ANYONE READY TO MAKE A MOTION?

>> MOVE TO APPROVE THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT.

SECOND. >> THERE'S A MOTION AND A SECOND. CALL THE ROLL PLEASE.

[c. Approval of Request for Proposals for the Utilization of Means Court Center. ]

CENTER. >> MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. WE HAVE OUR SPECIAL PROJECTS COORDINATOR HERE TO TALK TO US ABOUT THE UTILIZATION OF OUR MEANS COURT CENTER. IT'S HISTORIC BENCHMARK ON THE TREASURE COAST GOT ONLY FOR FT. PIERCE BUT THE ENTIRE TREASURE COAST. THIS VERY EXCITING FOR US.

IT'S ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE TOWARD THE REVITALIZATION OF LINCOLN PARK WHICH WE WILL CONTINUE WITH THE NEXT ITEM.

I WILL ALLOW AUDREY TO TAKE IT FROM HERE.

I'M NERVOUS A LITTLE BIT. BECAUSE THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR NOT LINCOLN PARK BUT THE OVERALL VISION FOR OUR CITY.

[00:50:04]

KIND OF GIVE US AN IDEA OF SOME THE THINGS THAT TRANSPIRED AND GOT US TO THIS POINT.

THE MEANS COURT CENTER. FIRST OFF, BACK IN OCTOBER STAFF CAME BEFORE YOU TO PREVENT TO PRESENT A VISION FOR THE LINCOLN PARK AREA, WHICH INCLUDED THE OCCUPATION OF THE MEANS COURT CENTER. THE REGENERATION OF MEANS COURT CENTER PLAZA. AND THE REVITALIZATION OF AVENUE D. TONIGHT WE'RE PRESENTING TO YOU AN RFP FOR YOUR REVIEW AND HOPEFUL APPROVAL TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE SOLICITING BIDS FOR THE OCCUPATION OF THIS BEAUTIFUL BUILDING. WHICH IS A TWO-STORY BUILDING.

IT IS LOCATED AT THE CORNER OF 13TH AND MEANS COURT.

FORMALLY A SCHOOL. THE FIRST SCHOOL FOR BLACKS IN ST. LUCIE COUNTY AND SOME OUR NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES.

THE FAMILIES THAT GOT TOGETHER 120 YEARS AGO.

LAID A FOUNDATION THAT THIS CURRENT GENERATION WANTS TO BUILD UPON. ON THE FIRST FLOOR OF THIS BUILDING, YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE ARE SIX ROOM VACANT.

CURRENTLY WE HAVE ONE OCCUPANT.

THAT'S THE LINCOLN PARK MAIN STREET IN THE AREA HIGHLIGHTED AND THAT'S ABOUT 1900 SQUARE FEET.

THAT LINCOLN PARK WILL BE OCCUPYING.

AND WE'RE WORKING WITH OUR CITY ATTORNEY ON THE LEASE FOR THAT AREA. ALSO IF YOU LOOK TO THE LEFT, THIS HUGE AREA WHICH IS ABOUT 3400 SQUARE FEET, THAT'S WHERE THE VIDEO STATION WAS. EACH OF THESE VACANT ROOMS, THEY ARE ABOUT 802 SQUARE FEET.

SOME OF THEM HAVE BATHROOMS AND OTHERS HAVE ADJOINING DOOR. ON OUR SECOND FLOOR, WE HAVE ABOUT -- WE HAVE EIGHT VACANT SPACES, AND THESE TWO ARE ABOUT 802 SQUARE FEET. NEITHER OF THE INDIVIDUAL ROOMS HAVE REST ROOMS. THERE ARE PUBLIC REST ROOMS ON THE FIRST AND SECOND FLOOR OF THIS FACILITY.

THIS FACILITY IS -- IT ONLY HAS STAIRWAY.

IT DOESN'T HAVE AN ELEVATOR FOR INDIVIDUALS TO TRAVEL FORWARD OR TRAVERSE FROM ONE FLOOR TO THE NEXT.

BASICALLY, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS WE'RE LOOKING AT PROPOSAL THAT WILL CAPTURE SOME OF THE RESPONSES THAT WE GATHERED DURING THREE COMMUNITY SESSIONS.

COMMUNITY INPUT SESSIONS. THIS LIST HERE IS A TOTAL LIST. WHAT I WANTED TO DO IS GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF THE RESPONSES THAT WE RECEIVED THE MOST F FREQUENT RESPONSES WE U.S.ED FROM THE COMMUNITY SESSION.

ONE HELD IN APRIL OF 2019. FEBRUARY OF 2020.

AND THE MOST RECENT WAS IN SEPTEMBER OF 2020 ALSO.

THE ITEMS IN BLUE. THOSE ARE THE ITEMS THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE 2020 AND I KIND OF WANTED TO -- FOR ME AND FOR YOU TO SEE THOSE WERE THINGS THAT WERE GARNERED FROM IF FIRST TWO BUT THEY DIDN'T REAPPEAR DURING THE SEPTEMBER 20TH 2020 COMMUNITY INPUT. AS YOU CAN SEE THE COMMUNITY IS INTERESTED WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH MEANS COURT CENTER.

TONIGHT, I WANTED TO JUST KIND OF HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THE PROPOSAL WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR AS IT RELATES TO THE PROPOSAL. QUALIFICATION AND EXPERIENCE WILL BE IMPORTANT. THIS IS SOMETHING WE WANT TO MAKE SURE IS GOING O BE A SUCCESS FOR THE COMMUNITY.

DEMONSTRATION OF POSSIBLY PERFORMING OR NOT PERFORMING OR SIMILAR PROJECT THAT PROPOSAL MAY HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WILL BE IMPORTANT FOR US TO SEE.

THE FINANCIAL CAPACITY TO DO ANY RENOVATION IF THAT -- IF THAT IS THE CASE AND ALSO TO OFFER PROGRAMS DIFFERENT PROGRAMS THAT ARE GOING TO ANSWER SOME OF THE DESIRES AND

[00:55:04]

BECAUSE IF THIS DOESN'T HAVE THE SUPPORT OF OUR COMMUNITY.

THEN ALL THE WORK WE'VE DONE SO FAR IS FOR NOTHING.

AS PARLIAMENT OF RFP PROCESS. THERE'S AN EVALUATION AND WE HAVE IDENTIFIED INDIVIDUALS FROM OUR -- FROM WITHIN OUR STAFF AS WELL AS FROM THE COMMUNITY THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE AS PART OF THE EVALUATION COMMITTEE.

EXPERIENCE AND PAST PERFORMANCE MOST DEFINITELY AN IMPORTANT AS IT RELATES TO THE SUCCESS OF THIS PROJECT.

PAST PERFORMANCE FROM THE INDIVIDUALS THAT SUBMIT THEM.

WHAT WILL BE IMPORTANT A BUSINESS PLAN.

BECAUSE THERE'S SEVERAL DIFFERENT ASPECTS THAT THE COMMUNITY IS LOOKING FOR. IN BEING A PART OF MEANS COURT CENTER. HOW THEY PLAN TO PROGRESS.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT THEY ARE OFFERING ARE COMMUNITY IS WHAT OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS.

ALSO MUST DEFINITELY MEETS OR EXCEEDS THE GOAL OF FPRA.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST TO DEMONSTRATE HOW THEY WILL COLLABORATE WITH NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS. THAT ARE HERE AND HAVE A STAKE IN OUR COMMUNITY AND HAVE SOME INTEREST AND INVESTMENT IN MEANS COURT CENTER. WE ARE LOOKING AT PROPOSED PART OF TIME LINE. BECAUSE, OF COURSE SUBJECT TO CHANGE, WE ANTICIPATE IF YOU APPROVE ADVERTISING THE RFP APRIL 22ND AND 29TH. AND THEN HOLDING A PREBID CONFERENCE. WHICH MR. MIMMS SUGGESTED AND I AGREED WOULD BE NICE TO HOLD IT OVER THE MEANS COURT CENTER. SO AFTER WE HAVE COMPLETED THE CONFERENCE OR BEFORE WE COULD DO A TOUR OF THE FACILITY.

SO THOSE PROPOSALED WILL ACTUALLY GET TO SEE THE LAY OF THE LAND. THE DEADLINE TO SUBMIT PROPOSALS WOULD BE JUNE 7 LITTLE.

BETWEEN JUNE 8TH AND JULY 2ND. PROBABLY WON'T TAKE THAT MUCH TIME. WE WILL GATHER THE COMMITTEE TOGETHER TO EVALUATE THE PROPOSALINGS AND THEN WE EXPECT TO BRING RECOMMENDATIONS AND A SHORT LIST BACK TO YOU ON JULY 13TH AT THAT MEETING.

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL.

QUESTIONS? >> COMMISSIONER C JOHNSON.

>> THIS IS EXCITING. AND THANK YOU MRS. AUDREY AND MR. MIMMS FOR PUTTING TOGETHER SUCH A GREAT PRESENTATION AND ANTICIPATING THE CONCERNS. I THINK THAT YOU KNOW THIS IS SETTING A NEW STANDARD OF HOW NOT ONLY THIS FACILITY BUT HOW WE DO BUSINESS IN THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE.

IT'S A MINOR QUESTION. IT'S MORE ABOUT THE EVALUATION COMMITTEE. HOW WILL THAT BE SELECTED OR

HAVE ANY THOUGHT TO THAT YET. >> MR. MIMMS AND I HAVE DISCUSSED. WE DISCUSSED I THINK IT'S THREE MEMBERS OF STAFF FROM WITHIN THE CITY.

AND THEN ALSO WE -- HE SUGGESTED THAT WE LOOK AT POSSIBLY THE COUNTY. SOMEONE FROM THEIR PLANNING DEPARTMENT. AND THEN ALSO FROM INDIAN RIVER STATE COLLEGE AND YES, BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT.

>> TO BE ON THAT EVALUATION COMMITTEE.

>> IS THAT FIVE PEOPLE? >> NO ONE FROM THE COMMUNITY.

>> I THINK WHEN AUDREY MENTIONED COMMUNITY SHE WAS TALKING FROM PARTNER AGENCIES LIKE ST. LUCIE COUNTY.

>> OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

>> ARE YOU COMFORTABLE WITH THAT?

>> I'M COMFORTABLE WITH IT. >> I HAVE A QUESTION.

OR A SUGGESTION. THIS IS A HISTORICALLY

[01:00:02]

ACADEMY. >> YES, MA'AM.

>> IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT HISTORY IS.

I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST. AND OF COURSE IT'S STOP ON THE HERSTON TRAIL TOO. I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST AS PART OF THE RFP THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY INCORPORATE IS SOMEHOW PAYING TRIBUTE TO HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE OF THE LOCATION, NOT NECESSARILY THE BUILDING.

THINK THE BUILDING WHAT 60 YEARS OLD OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. IT'S NOT THAT OLD.

AND THE FACT THAT IT'S A SYMBOL OF EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY.

IT HAS BEEN. IT SERVED BEYOND ST. LOUIS BY COUNTY WHEN FIRST OPENED. IT'S AN IMPORTANT SYMBOL FOR THE COMMUNITY TO LOOK AROUND SAY WE HAD EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING IN THE RFP. FOR THEM TO CONSIDER BEYOND THE HERSTON KEOSK. ALSO THERE'S AN OUTBUILDING THERE THAT I UNDERSTAND IS REALLY STRONG BUILDING.

>> THOSE ARE NOT INCLUDED. THE REASON WHY PUBLIC WORKS HAD REQUESTED IF THOSE TWO BUILDINGS COULD BE RESERVED.

ONE OF THEM SMALLER BUILDING THAT WOULD BE USED TO HOUSE MAYBE EQUIPMENT THAT USE FOR THE UPKEEP OF THE AREA THERE.

AND THEN THE OTHER BUILDING IS WHERE THE TRUCKS WERE KEPT.

THE TELEVISION TRUCKS WERE KEPT.

AND PUBLIC WORKS HAD REQUESTED USE OF THAT BUILDING.

SORT OF BUNKER. IT'S VERY THICK WALLS.

VERY STRONG BUILDING. >> THERE'S ALSO BASKETBALL COURTS. THERE'S BASKETBALL COURTS.

>> THERE'S PROPERTY THERE. WILL THAT --

>> THIS BUILDING SITS ON 2 AND A HALF ACRES OF PROPERTY.

WE LOOKED AT AND THE COMMUNITY ALSO SUGGESTED POSSIBLY UTILIZING SOME OF THE GREEN SPACE AS MAYBE A COMMUNITY GUARD R GARDEN OR TO HOUSE THE LOCAL FOOD, LOCAL PLACES INITIATIVE. THERE'S BEEN IDEAS ABOUT FESTIVALS AND DIFFERENT COMMUNITY-ORIENTED ACTIVITIES TO TAKE PLACE THERE AT THE CENTER.

>> WE DID HAVE AN RFP JUST NOW THAT ACTUALLY PLANNED BEYOND WHAT THE PROPERTY THAT WE HAD. IF SOMEONE CAME IN AND HAD AN IDEA FOR THAT OUTSIDE AREA, WE COULD CERTAINLY CONSIDER IT.

ESPECIALLY IF IT WAS A GOOD IDEA.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSIONS?

>> THAT'S A GOOD POINT. >> I THINK IT'S GREAT.

>> I DO TOO. I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS.

I'M GLAD YOU'RE EXCITED. >> ONE LAST COMMENT.

MR. SWEENEY, YOU'VE BEEN A PART OF THIS PROCESS; CORRECT? AS FAR AS RFP AND BUILDING AND EXPECTATIONS AND THAT SORT OF THING. NO TYPICALLY THEY WORK THROUGH D DEPARTMENT WITH THE PROCUREMENT DEPARTMENT.

IF THEY HAVE QUESTIONS THEY CONSULT WITH MY OFFICE.

TYPICALLY, IT'S VERY ORIENTED BY WHATEVER THE DEPARTMENT IS.

WHETHER IT'S PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. BUT IN LOOKING WHAT HAS JUST BEEN PRESENTED. I'M OBVIOUSLY EXCITED ABOUT IT. IT'S THE FIRST STEP.

IT'S VERY BROAD AS AUDREY INDICATED.

WE CAN SEE WHO COMES FORWARD. ONE THING THAT'S IMPORTANT THIS IS THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY.

THAT WILL BE KEY ASPECTS OF WHAT COMES BACK IN.

YOU SAW THE CHECKLIST AUDREY PUT UP.

THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT. THAT'S WHY THERE'S DIFFERENT SCORING CATEGORY. THE QUESTION IS EXCELLENT.

I AGREE THERE SHOULDN'T BE A MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY AT-LARGE. IF THINK ARE ON THEY WOULD BE PROHIBITED IF INVOLVED WITH THE ORGANIZATION THAT WANTED TO SUBMIT SOMETHING. WE WANT TO HAVE THE BROADEST BASE POSSIBLE SUBMIT. I THINK HAVING STAFF INCLUDING COUNTY STAFF AND POSSIBLY IRSC STAFF IS AN EXCELLENT SUGGESTION. I'M EXCITED TO SEE WHAT WE GET BACK. IT'S GOING TO BE GREAT.

>> AGAIN, THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE IT.

I READ ALL 369 PAGES. I WAS BORED AND I HAD TO

[01:05:02]

THE CITY STILL HOLDING ON TO THIS ASSET.

IT'S A LEASE OPPORTUNITY. I THINK THAT ECHOS THE POINT MADAM MAYOR THIS IS A VALUABLE PIECE OF PROPERTY.

THAT MEANS A LOT TO ME WE WILL NOT JUST TURN IT OVER.

THAT'S IMPORTANT. I KNOW THE EMPHASIS WAS ON YOUTH. IN MY OPINION THE EMPHASIS SHOULD BE ON LEARNING NO MATTER WHAT THE AGE.

>> ASKED ME IF I READ IT? [LAUGHTER]

>> YOU DEPENDED ON HIM. >> I SAID I HAVE YOU.

>> THAT'S SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND, IN MY OPINION.

I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. >> MADAM, I MOVE FOR THE APPROVAL FOR ITEM C APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL UTILIZATION OF MEANS COURT CENTER.

>> SECOND. >> THERE'S A MOTION AND A SECOND. CALL THE ROLL PLEASE.

YOUR HARD WORK. AND YOU'VE GOT SOME WAITING

FOR YOU; RIGHT? >> NEXT ITEM IS PROPOSED

[d. Proposed streetscape and landscape improvements for the revitalization of Avenue D from US Highway 1 to North 29th Street.]

29TH STREET. >> MR. MIMMS. MADAM CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE FPRE BOARD WE DO HAVE ONCE AGAIN AUDREY OUR SPECIAL PROJECT COORDINATOR.

SHE WILL BE FLANKED BY CITY ENGINEER AND FLANKED BY OUR DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS. THIS IS ANOTHER FACET OF OUR CONTINUING MISSION TO REVITALIZE LYNN KAN -- LINCOLN PARK DISTRICT. WE WOULD LIKE YOU TO LOOK AT THE MAJOR CORRIDOR AND SEE IF WE CAN PEARL THE CONTINUED REDEVELOPMENT OF THIS AREA. I DON'T KNOW WHO WILL START.

BUT WE HAVE THE PLAYERS AT THE TABLE NOW.

WHO WOULD LIKE TO START? >> I WILL START.

I WILL HAND IT OVER REAL QUICK.

>> IT'S A PLEASURE WORKING WITH JACK AND MIKE ON THIS REVITALIZATION OF AVENUE D. THERE'S A SURPRISE THAT YOU PROBABLY KNOW ABOUT. THE PROJECT IS AMAZING.

THE THINGS PROPOSED REALLY DO A LOT TO HELP TO CONTINUE THIS EXCITEMENT ABOUT THE REVITALIZATION AND THE CONNECTIVITY OF OUR DIFFERENT NEIGHBORS.

WITH THAT, JACK. >> MR. ANDREWS.

. >> GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. AS YOU CAN REMEMBER, I'M NOT SURE IF I DON'T THINK ANYONE BACK ON THE BOARD WHEN THIS

WASES WAS ORIGINALLY DONE. >> THIS WAS BACK IN 2000.

>> WERE YOU HERE JACK? >> THAT WAS ONE OF MY PROJECTS. THIS WAS COMPLETE RECONSTRUCTION OF AVENUE D. WE REDID ALL OF THE UTILITIES STORM DRAIN, SIDEWALKS. IT WAS VERY EXTENSIVE PROJECT.

WE DID IT IN TWO PHASES. FIRST 25TH UP TO 15TH.

THEN THE NEXT PHASE, OF COURSE, ON UP TO U.S. ONE.

VERY SUCCESSFUL PROJECT. YOU CAN SEE THE AGE HAS TAKEN THE EFFECT ON IT. WE'VE GOT TWENTY YEARS OUT OF THE PAVEMENT WHICH IS TYPICALLY GOOD.

A LOT OF THE STREETS ARE A LOT OLDER THAN THAT.

THIS WOULD BE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO GO IN, GET AHEAD OF IT. INSTEAD OF HAVING TO WAIT AND RECONSTRUCT THE ROADWAY. WE'RE IN THE POSITION NOW WHERE WE COULD GO IN, MILL COME BACK IN AND RESURFACE AND MAKE A DECENT LOOKING PROJECT THAT WOULD SPRUCE IT UP.

THE OTHER THING WE PROPOSE. EVERYONE KNOWS THE CROSSWALKS YOU CAN TELL AS SOON AS YOU GO ACROSS THEM.

THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST ATTEMPTS AT DOING BRICK PAVER CROSSWALKS. WE WEREN'T AS ADVANCED AS WE ARE NOW. A LOT OF PEOPLE WEREN'T DOING

[01:10:05]

WE DIDN'T DO THAT ON AVENUE D. WE DIDN'T KNOW THAT PROBLEM.

WE HAVE TWO DIFFERENT MATERIALS.

WE HAVE THE CONCRETE, HEADER CURBS.

WE HAVE THE PAVERS AND ASPHALT ON BOTH SIDES.

THEY DON'T SETTLE AT THE SAME RATE.

YOU GET THE BUMP AS YOU GO ACROSS THEM.

WHAT I AM PROPOSING TO REMOVE THE CONCRETE HEADERS, REMOVE THE BRICK PAVER CROSSWALKS THROUGH OUR ASPHALT WORK AND THEN COME BACK AND DO A TREATMENT AT THE CROSSWALK TO DO A STAMP ASPHALT. SIMILAR TO WHAT'S OUT HERE.

GOING ACROSS THE RAILROAD TRACKS.

THAT WAS A VERSION WE DID. WE'VE HAD GOOD SUCCESS WITH IT. WE JUST NEED TO KEEP THEM A LITTLE BIT BETTER PAINTED, BETTER PROTECTED AFTER WE PUT THEM DOWN. I THINK THAT'S THE KEY TO KEEPING THEM LOOKING NICE. AS FAR AS THE BRICK WORK AND EVERYTHING IT STAYS WITH THE CONCRETE.

STAYS WITH THE ASPHALT, I SHOULD SAY AND WE DON'T HAVE THE DIFFERENCE IN THE MATERIAL.

WE STILL GET THE LITTLE TRAFFIC CALMING EFFECT BECAUSE OF THE DIFFERENT FEEL WHICH WILL YOU KNOW DRIVER TEND TO SLOW DOWN. I MAKES YOU AWARE OF IT WITH

THE DIFFERENT COLOR. >> THAT'S WHAT I PROPOSE ON THIS. BASICALLY THAT'S THE EXTENT OF THE CONSTRUCTION. CURB AND GUTTERS.

DRAINAGE IN GOOD SHAPE. WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT. THIS PROPOSAL IS TO GO IN AND I'M PROPOSING THE MILL THE ROADWAY PLUS THE PARKING LANES. I FIND THAT IF YOU TRY TO GO IN AND JUST DO THE TRAVEL WAY. YOU ALWAYS HAVE THE DIFFERENCE IN LOOK. WE ARE TRYING TO HAVE TO BRING A STREETSCAPE AND NICE APPEARANCE BACK TO THIS.

I THINK FOR THE COST IT'S WELL WORTH IT.

>> WE'RE AT ESTIMATED COST OF 840,000.

THIS IS THE EXTENT FROM 2. THIS GO FURTHER THAN THE ORIGINAL PROJECT DID TO U.S. ONE.

WITH THAT, I WILL HAND IT OFF. >> FOR ANY TREAT PROJECT, DO YOU COORDINATE WITH FPLA TO MAKE SURE THEY AREN'T GOING TO HAVE TO DO SOMETHING THERE WE DON'T WANT -- THEM TO HAVE TO TEAR SOMETHING UP. WE COORDINATE THAT; RIGHT?

>> YES, THAT'S CORRECT. WE REPLACED COUPLE OF AREA WHEN WE DID 13TH AND 17TH STREET.

WE WENT BACK AND REPLACED THE UTILITIES BOTH WATER AND SEWER IN BOTH INTERSECTIONS WHICH WAS A GOOD TIME TO DO IT.

WE WILL LOOK AND SEE IF THEY HAVE ANY OTHER PROBLEM AREAS.

AND ADDRESS IT THEN. >> OKAY.

>> I'M GLAD YOU ASKED. THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY TOO. ESPECIALLY NOW WE TALK ABOUT FIBER AND ALL OF THE OTHER THINGS.

EVEN PUTTING IN A DUCK BANK. I'M NOT SAYING TO ADD THAT TO IT. THERE MAY BE IDEAS THE UTILITY AUTHORITY CAN SAY, HEY, THIS IS GOING TO BE STRATEGIC.

THIS IS A VERY SENSITIVE STREET.

BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE A LOT OF LEEWAY.

YOU ARE BASICALLY DEFINED TO THE ROADWAY ITSELF.

IT'S SUITS YOU MORE THAN MOST OF THE ROADS AROUND THAT DO

NEED THE EXTRA HELP. >> IT'S BECOME ALTERNATIVE TO

ORANGE AVENUE TO GO WEST, TOO. >> JUST ONE QUESTION JACKIE.

[01:15:02]

THE ONLY THING I WOULD ASK YOU DO ANY INTERSECTION WITH THE HIGHEST PEDESTRIAN CROSSING PATTERN IF WE COULD USE THE DOT ILL ILLUMINATED PEDESTRIAN SIGN.

THERE'S INTERSECTIONS THAT ARE BUSIER.

NOT LIKE 25TH WHICH HAS SIGNAL.

BUT INTERIOR TO THAT. MAYBE 15MENT THE ROUNDABOUT.

SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY THAT DOESN'T HAVE SIGNAL.

>> 17TH MIGHT BE BUSY NOW. IF WE COULD LOOK INTO THAT.

MAYBE THAT'S AN ADDITIONAL COST.

I PAYS OFF IN THE END, YOU KNOW BY ALERTING THE TRAFFIC

TO PEDESTRIANS. >> THAT'S A GOOD POINT.

13TH AS WELL. THAT'S HIGHLY WALKED TRAFFIC AREA. THAT CORNER THERE.

>> IT'S THOSE TWO 13TH AND 17TH ARE THE TWO.

>> BOTH OF THOSE WE HAVE SIGNAL INTERSECTIONS.

MAYBE SOME OF THE OTHER INTERSECTIONS APPROACHING THAT. I FEEL LIKE NEAR THE LINCOLN THEATER WHERE WE HAVE THE NEW PROJECT.

MAYBE ANTICIPATING THE FOOT TRAFFIC PICKING UP IN THOSE AREAS THERE. EVEN CLOSER TO FIRE STATION.

YOU ONLY WANT TO DO A COUPLE OF MAX.

YOU LOSE IT WHEN YOU TRAVEL THAT ROADWAY.

YOU LOSE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF IT SOMETIMES.

>> OF THE LIGHTS. >> WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST WE KIND OF MAINTAIN THOSE FOR THE MID BLOCK CROSSINGS MORE SO THAN AN INTERSECTION. THAT MAKES SENSE.

>> IS IT GOING ALL THE WAY TO U.S. ONE.

>> YES. >> YOU HAVE TO DO A LITTLE BIT

MORE PLANNING. >> OKAY.

NEXT UP WE WILL HAVE MIKE. MIKE WILL DISCUSS THE LANDSCAPE. AND INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS. GOOD EVENING.

AS WE STATED WE'RE PRESENTING THE LANDSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS OF THIS PROJECT. THE PROPOSED LANDSCAPE IMPROVEMENT. EARLY ON THE THOUGHT WAS MAYBE WE COULD FIND MULTIPLE INTERSECTIONS THAT COULD BE VISUALLY ENHANCED. AND WE RAN INTO SOME CHALLENGES WITH SOME OF THOSE INTERSECTIONS.

WITH LIMITED RIGHT OF WAY. HYPE OF SITE.

ADA ACCESSIBILITY AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

PAUL PARKS AND DIVISION GROUND MANAGER AS WELL AS URBAN FORRESTER, URBAN DIRECTOR ALONG WITH MR. ANDREWS PUT THEIR HEADS TOGETHER AND THE PLAN BEFORE YOU IS FOCUS ON ONE MAJOR AREA. THAT BEING THE ROUNDABOUT AT 15TH AND COMPLETELY LEAVE THE AROUND ABOUT ITSELF BUT THE EXTERIOR TO RECONFIGURE AND IMPROVE THAT AND LET THAT BE A FOCAL POINT OF THIS PROJECT TO INCORPORATE THE ROYAL PALMS THE PLANT AND IRRIGATION TO SITES.

AND ALSO IMPROVE THE LANDSCAPE AT 23RD STREET WHERE WE HAVE ENOUGH RIGHT-OF-WAY. WE CAN ALSO HAVE IRRIGATION IN THAT LOCATION. THE ESTIMATES PROVIDED ARE FOR MATERIALS ARE BASED OFF OF PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE DONE RECENTLY. THE LABOR ESTIMATES THAT'S VERY CONTRACTOR HEAVY. WE HAVE ANTICIPATING DOING SOME DEM RIGS AND REMOVAL OF MATERIALS.

A LOT OF THAT IS FOCUSED ON UTILIZING OUTSIDE CONTRACTORS TO PROVIDE THIS INSTALLATION FOR US.

WITH THAT WE KNOW THE AREAS IS BOOMING NOW.

THESE PRICES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE DAILY.

WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION I'M HERE TO DO MY BEST IN ANSWERING THEM.

>> I HAVE A QUESTION. I THINK I'M RIGHT.

THERE USED TO BE A PLAQUE TO A MAN BY THE LAST NAME OF SCOTT.

MAYBE JULIA SCOTT. HE WAS A CITY FT. PIERCE WORKER. USED TO BE NORTH OF THE

[01:20:02]

>> I THINK THAT'S 13G9 STREET PLAZA.

HE WAS FIRST CITY WORKER KILLED IN LINE OF DUTY.

NOT A POLICEMEN. HE WAS SKILLED IN DIGGING

UP -- DIGGING SOMETHING. >> I BELIEVE FPUA EMPLOYEE.

>> LAST NAME THE SCOTT. AM I REMEMBERING THAT RIGHT?

>> YES. YES.

>> I KNEW DAVID SCOTT. THAT'S HIS FATHER.

YOU KNOW TOO MUCH, MAYOR. >> I THOUGHT IT WAS 15TH.

IT'S AT 13TH. >> ONE MORE QUESTION.

23RD PLANTER BOXES IS THAT HELP ME UNDERSTAND THAT.

FROM MY UNDERSTANDING WHAT IS THERE CURRENTLY SABL PALMS. I APOLOGIZE WE DON'T HAVE A PICTURE OF THAT LOCATION.

THE THOUGHT LET'S GO IN THERE AND REPLACE WHAT IS THERE WITH EITHER ROYAL PALMS OR RYIAL POINSETTAS.

>> SABLE ARE HARDY. >> THEY DO GOOD IN HURRICANE.

ADDITIONALLY WHY WE DISCUSS THIS PROJECT.

I'M NOT SURE MR. ANDREWS MAY BE ABLE TO ANSWER.

WE STILL HAVE OVERHEAD UTILITY ON AVENUE D.

WHILE WE WERE BRAINSTORMING COMING UP WITH IDEA WHAT COULD BE DONE ON THIS CORRIDOR. THAT SUBJECT CAME UP AND REACHED OUT TOUR PARTNERS UA. WE KNOW THEY ARE DOING THE SMART CITY INITIATIVE IN LINCOLN PARK.

THEY WERE INTERESTED IN THE PROJECT.

THEY OFFERED TO PARTNER WITH THE CITY ON MOVING UTILITY UNDERGROUND FROM 15TH TO 20TH. THIS WOULD ALLOW THEM TO LAY

FIBER AS WELL. >> UH-HUH.

THAT'S ONE MORE ITEM WE HAVE THAT.

IF THE PROJECT GOES THROUGH, THEY ARE WILLING TO COME BACK AND TALK MORE ABOUT THAT AS WELL.

>> GREAT. YES, SIR.

MR. MIMMS. >> WE DID TALK ABOUT THE STREET LIGHTING. FROM 15TH TO 258G9.

IT'S THE BRIGHTEST STREET LIGHTING IN THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE. THAT'S WHY DID NOT WANT TO CHANGE DECORATIVE STREET LIGHT.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT WHAT THE WATTAGE IS.

IT'S INTENSE. WE WANTED TO HAVE THAT REMAIN AND WE'LL JUST DROP THE ACTUAL OVERHEAD UTILITIES.

>> UH-HUH. THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

NO TURTLES THERE. ANY QUESTIONS?

>> THIS MONEY WE HAVE -- WE WILL FIND OUT WHETHER WE HAVE

THIS MONEY LATER ON? >> IS THAT RIGHT.

THE IDEA TODAY MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD IS TO JUST PRESENT THE CONCEPT. IF YOU ACCEPT THE CONCEPT AND WISH MOVE FORWARD THEN MYSELF AND JOHN, WE WILL IDENTIFY THE FUNDING. THERE'S ALWAYS WAY TO GET JOGS DONE. WHETHER GRANT OR CREATIVELY FINANCING THE PROJECT. TODAY IS ALL ABOUT ACCEPTING THIS AS A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT.

AND MOVING FORWARD IN THAT DIRECTION.

WE WILL COME BACK FOR APPROVAL UNDERSTAND WE APPROVE BIDS FROM CRACK ACTUAL PARTNERS. .

>> GREAT. ANY DISCUSSION?

>> ONE MORE QUESTIONEN THAT, THEN.

YOU TALK ABOUT OTHER FUNDING SOURCES.

LOOKING AT THE ENTIRE CORRIDOR; IS THERE AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO TPO OR OTHER FUNDING AGENCIES ABOUT BICYCLE WIDEN PATHWAYS FOR MULTI-MODAL TRANSPORTATION? IS THAT A CONSIDERATION? IT'S NOT ON OUR DESIGN.

WE'RE TRYING TO RECAMP WHAT WE DID BEFORE.

IN 20 YEARS WE CHANGED HOW WE OPERATE.

>> IF WE WANT THE LOOK AT FUTURE TYPE OF MOBILITY TYPE OF RETROFIT, THEN A STREET ESCAPE PROJECT WOULD NOT BE THE SOLUTION. WE HAVE PARKING LANES.

IT'S NOT SO MUCH CATERED TOWARD MOBILITY.

BUT A COMMUNITY STREET. IF BE WANT THE GO THAT ROUTE THAT'S ENTIRELY DIFFERENT DESIGN.

IF MR. ANDREWS WANT TO SPEAK TO THAT.

I WILL ALLOW HIM. THIS IS DIFFERENT CONCEPT.

[01:25:04]

>> I GUESS TO SIMPLIFY A COMPLICATED CONCEPT WOULD HAVE TO SOMETHING EXPENSIVE. WE HAVE PARALLEL PARKING ON NORTH AND SIDE. AND PARALLELING SIDEWALKS.

IF YOU WERE TO TAKE UP POTENTIALLY THROUGH ENGINEERING FEATURES MAYBE YOU TAKE UP SOME OF THE PARKING ON ONE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR THE OTHER.

I'M JUST THROWING IT OUT THERE.

IF WE TALK ABOUT MULTI-MODAL BICYCLE PEDESTRIAN ACTIVITIES ALL THE TIME. THIS HAS BEEN THOUGHT ANT IN THE PAST. ITS INTERESTED THE MORRIS CREEK WAS THE TRAIL. WITH THE PHASE TWO OF MORRIS CREEK WHICH EXTENDS FURTHER OUT WEST, THAT WOULD BE THE ALTERNATIVE OF BIKE LANES ONDZ AD.

>> I REMEMBER NOW. IT'S BEEN 20 YEARS.

>> THAT'S TIGHT. >> THANK YOU.

>> ANY DISCUSSION OR THERE A MOTION?

>> WE NEED A MOTION. >> DO WE NEED A MOTION.

>> FROM THE BOARD AT THIS TIME, IF YOU WOULD ALL LIKE TO APPROVE THE CONCEPT AND ACCEPT WHAT WE PRESENT TODAY.

AND STAFF WILL COME BACK TO YOU AT A LATER DATE WITH MORE DETAILED AND DEFINED PARAMETERS FOR YOUR APPROVAL.

>> I MOVE THAT WE ACCEPT THE CONCEPT AND AUTHORIZE STAFF TO PROCEED WITH PROCUREMENT OF SERVICES AS NEEDED.

>> SECOND. >> THERE'S A MOTION AND IS SECOND. CALL THE ROLL PLEASE.

[e. Parklet Program Discussion]

I WE HAVE ONE GRAPHIC. AND WE WILL ALLOW YOU ALL TO DISCUSS THIS INITIATIVE THAT WAS ORIGINALLY UNDERTAKEN -- WE'RE STILL IN THE PANDEMIC.

ORIGINAL UNDERTAKEN TO ASSIST OUR BUSINESSES WITH THEIR SPACING REQUIREMENTS TO MEET THE CDC RECOMMENDATION BUT WE DO HAVE VERY INTERESTED MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY HERE TO LISTEN TO YOUR CONVERSATION BUT WE'RE HERE TO FACILITY WHATEVER WE CAN POSSIBLY DO TO HELP THE BUSINESSES BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ALL ARE COMFORTABLE WITH OUR CURRENT

PROCESS. >> DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO

SAY? >> GOING TO TERM ONE GRAPHIC.

IT WOULD BE HAPPY. >> I WENT UP TO OFFICE AND BACK. THIS CURRENT STATUS OF THE PARKLET PROGRAM. IT HASN'T CHANGED SINCE WE PRESENTED IN JANUARY. IT'S THE SAME NUMBER.

WE ARE HERE TO EXPLORE THIS. WE BROUGHT IT DOWNTOWN BUSINESS ALLIANCE MEETING LAST MONTH.

ALTHOUGH THE BUSINESSES WHO ARE CURRENTLY UTILIZING PARKLET ENJOY THEM AND HAVE SEEN SUCCESS.

THEY KNOW THIS MAY COME TO AN END TODAY.

WE DO HAVE FRIDAY FEST RETURNING THE FIRST FRIDAY IN MAY. IF WE LOOKING AT CONCLUDING THIS PROGRAM, I MIGHT SUGGEST JUST BEYOND THAT IN CASE THEY WANTED TO UTILIZE THOSE PARKLETS AS EXTENSION OF THE FRIDAY FESTENT. I'M OPEN TO ANSWER QUESTIONS

OR WHATEVER YOU MAY LIKE. >> YOU KNOW THE PROGRAM HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL. EYEWITNESSED A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR BUSINESS OWNERS.

WITNESSED A LOT OF FOLKS UTILIZING THE SPACES.

I HAVE ANOTHER IDEA ON THE FRIDAY FEST THING.

WE WILL NEED MOORPARKING. IT WILL BE A BIG WEEK.

IT'S THE CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION; RIGHT, MAYOR?

>> I THINK YOU WILL TELL US ABOUT IT AGAIN TONIGHT.

>> WHILE I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA.

I'M CONFLICTED WITH THEM. 15 PARKING SPACES MAY BE VALUE. IT'S ONLY 15.

BUT STILL IT'S GOING TO BE BUSY.

>> YES, SIR. >> IT IS.

>> I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE.

WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THIS LAST TIME, I TALKED ABOUT YOU KNOW UTILIZING WHAT WE PURCHASED. WE HAVE INFRASTRUCTURE AND

[01:30:04]

BARRICADES. >> WE CALL THEM CROWD CONTROL

BARRIERS. >> CROWD CONTROL --

>> WE WILL NEVER SAY THAT. THE BARRIER BARRICADE.

IT'S TOO MANY WORDS. THE BARRICADES.

>> TO CONTINUE TO UTILIZE THEM IN A WAY THAT'S NOT CREATING AN ISSUE FOR PUBLIC WORK AND THOSE WORKS.

HAVE BLOCKED OFF AREAS WITHIN - STREET TO STREET OR BLOCK WE TALKED ABOUT THAT BEFORE. NOT SAYING THERE'S A PLAN.

MAYBE THERE'S SOME STUNT IN YOU GO TO OTHER CITIES.

AT 5:00, YOU KNOW IT'S 5:00 SOMEWHERE.

THEY CLOSE DOWN THE BLOCK FROM LET'S SAY AVENUE A TO ORANGE AVENUE. FOR INSTANCE.

I'M NOT USING THAT AN EXAMPLE. THOSE ARE IDEAS.

I DON'T WANT TO GIVE UP ON THAT IDEA EITHER TO CONTINUE TO IMPACT AND INFLUENCE FOLKS COMING TO OUR DOWNTOWN.

BUT I'M READY TO MOVE ALONG. >> YES.

>> COMMISSIONER PERONA. >> AND I'M HAPPY THE CITY HAS PARTNERED WITH OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY AND EVEN UNDER PRESSURE AND WE'VE GOTTEN A LOT OF PRESSURE I CAN NAME THEM ALL. I KNOW WHO THEY ARE.

I KNOW THEIR GRANDKIDS. I KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM.

WE SAW THE VALUE IF THAT. WE ENDURED.

WE KEPT IT OPEN. I KNEW APRIL WOULD BE THE DATE FROM PARKING PERSPECTIVE. IT'S 15 SPACES.

IN AN 8-HOUR DAY, BUSY DAY, REGARDLESS OF WHAT IT IS.

YOU WOULD EXPECT -- THOSE TO TURNABOUT EVERY 70 TO 80 MINUTES. YOU TALK ABOUT 80 OR 90 PARKING SOLUTIONS. THAT DAY.

YAELT TO 80 TO 90 AND YOU ARE DONE.

RIGHT NOW WITH TOURIST HERE. THE FOLKS THAT ARE VISITING, EVERYTHING IS CRAMMED UP. THERE'S PROBABLY AT 3:00 IN THE AFTERNOON. THERE'S PROBABLY A 4% CHANCE YOU FINDING A PARKING SPOT SOMEWHERE IN DOWNTOWN.

IT'S TIME TO GO ON WITH IT. I AGREE WITH YOU COMMISSIONER JOHNSON. THERE'S PROBABLY SOME OTHER THINGS WE CAN DO THAT ARE CREATIVE THAT I THINK THE BIGGEST USE OF PARKLETS ARE MORE SO IN THE EVENING.

THE LATER AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

I WENT THROUGH THERE TODAY. I WENT THROUGH THERE EARLIER THIS MORNING. AND REALLY THERE'S NOTHING THERE. IT'S NORMALLY ABOUT 3:00 OR 4:00 IN THE AFTERNOON. PEOPLE START GATHERING A LITTLE BIT MORE. THE WALK TRAFFIC AND SOMETHING LIKE THAT. MAYBE THERE'S SOMETHING WE CAN DO TO ACCOMMODATE THAT. WE ARE CAUSING A PARKING PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE PARKLETS.

THEY ARE SET UP TO BE TO OUR PARKING THAT SHOULD TURN EVERY HOUR. SO WE HAVE FUNCTION IN DOWNTOWN. IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON.

>> >> THIS QUESTION FOR STAFF.

WHAT OTHER OPPORTUNITIES ARE THERE FOR A BUSINESS TO HAVE SOMETHING OUTSIDE IN THE FRONT OF THEIR BUSINESS.

>> THE CITY OFS FOR PIERCE OFFERED THE SIDEWALK CAFE SOLUTION. THAT'S ALL CONTINGENT UPON THE WIDTH OF THE SIDEWALK FRONTING THE PERSPECTIVE BUSINESS.

BUT AS FAR AS ANY OTHER SOLUTIONS, THAT WOULD BE ABOUT IT. THROUGH THE ENGINEERING DEPART. WE OFFERED TEMPORARY RIGHT-OF-WAY TYPE OF SOLUTION. THAT HAS BEEN EXISTED AT THIS TIME. I THINK THE SIDEWALK CAFE IS

PRETTY MUCH IT. >> I JUST BRING THAT UP.

BECAUSE ONE THING I LIKE ABOUT THE PARKLETS I GAVE A FEELING OF ACTIVITY DOWNTOWN. PEOPLE WERE OUTSIDE.

I'VE BEEN TO A LOT OF OTHER CITIES THAT HAVE THAT KIND OF FEEL TO IT. DELRAY HAS THAT FEEL.

I LIKE THAT ABOUT THE PARKLETS.

I THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE TEMPORARY.

I SURE LIKE THE FEEL OF THE OUTDOOR MOVING AROUND AND HAVING BUSINESS OUTSIDE AND KIND OF FEELING LIKE IT'S FESTIVAL EVEN IF IT ISN'T A FESTIVAL.

[01:35:03]

THEY ARE NOT INSIDE THE STORE. >> I WANT TO REMIND YOU.

AS WE TALKED ABOUT THIS IN DECEMBER OR NOVEMBER.

WE HAD COUPLE OF ALTERNATIVES. ALTERNATIVE PROVIDE PERMITTING WITH A FEE, OF COURSE. FOR THIS TYPE OF OPPORTUNITY.

IF WE COULD CUT IT AND MOVE ON.

AND GO ON WITH OUR DAY. OR WE CAN LOOK SOME SORT OF LONG-TERM SOLUTION THAT PROVIDES YOU KNOW THROUGH PROBABLY ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT PARKLET PERMIT.

WITH A FEE THAT A BUSINESS CAN APPLY FOR AND IF IT'S A SAFE SOLUTION. THEN OUR CITY ENGINEER CAN REVIEW THE REQUEST AND HAVE THAT APPROVED.

BUT THAT, AGAIN THAT'S AN ALTERNATIVE FOR YOU ALL TO

CONSIDER. >> THERE'S ALTERNATIVE FOR TEMPORARY EVENT PARKLET ON SHORTER-TERM BASIS IN THE DOWNTOWN BUSINESS ALLIANCE DID A PUT-PUT PARKLET EVENT.

WHERE THEY HAD 19 HOLES. IT'S KIND OF CRAZY AND FUN.

THE THEY DECIDE TO USE FOR THAT EVENT ONLY FOR THAT WEEKEND. THEY REMOVED IT.

THEY WANTED ONE FOR JUST THAT WEEKEND.

THAT WAS ALTERNATIVE WE PRESENTED IN OCTOBER OR NOVEMBER. IT WILL BE SUMMER.

IT WILL BE WARMER. JUST LIKE YOU SAID IT'S TEMPORARY PROGRAM. WE CAN CERTAINLY EXPLORE OTHER

IDEAS. >> I WOULD LIKE THAT.

I DON'T KNOW HOW THE REST OF THE BOARD FEELS.

ABOUT EXPLORING IT. AT LEAST FOR OUR BUSINESS TO HAVE THAT AS AN OPTION. THEN IF IT'S EVENING BUSINESS OR WHATEVER. DO YOU WANT US TO TELL YOU A

DATE. >> ALL RIGHT.

>> I HERE SOMEBODY, I THINK MAY 7TH, SUGGESTION THAT MAYBE WE NEED THE PARKING THEN IS A GOOD SUGGESTION.

>> YES. MINE WOULD BE ON THIS DISCUSSION POINT OF 13TH. WITHIN TWO WEEKS, PROBABLY.

HAVING IT OPEN AND READY TO GO.

IT GETS BUSINESS OWNERS. >> THE LAST WEEKEND IN APRIL.

FOR LAST WEEKEND IN APRIL. >> IT'S THE 30TH.

THAT WORKS FOR ME. >> I THINK THE POINT NEEDS TO BE MADE THAT WE'RE NOT JUST DONE WITH THIS.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR STAFF TO COME UP WITH SAME IDEA YOU HAD WITH THE PARKLETS AND HOW THAT WORKS.

YOU KNOW, IF WE'RE CONSIDERING YOU KNOW EVENTUALLY CLOSING ONE STREET DOWN OR WHATEVER ELSE WE CAN DO UTILIZING THE SPACES WE CAN HAVE TO CAPTURE THE FOOT TRAFFIC.

IT'S REALLY GOOD POINTS. I THINK WE NEED TO MOVE ON

THOSE. >> I THINK IT MADE A BIG DIFFERENT TO HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE OUTSIDE.

>> I THINK I HEARD WHAT YOU SAID.

WE SHOOT FOR APRIL 30TH TO REMOVE THE PARKLETS.

AND THEN WE'LL WORK TOWARD IDENTIFYING SOLUTIONS FOR EITHER LONG-TERM PERMIT. OR SPECIAL EVENTS.

SOME TYPE OF OPTIONS. >> THANK YOU.

[f. Discussion on the future utilization of the vacant property located at 2902 Avenue D behind the Percy Peek Gymnasium.]

>> THANK YOU. THE NEXT DISCUSSION OF FUTURE UTILIZATION OF THE VACANT PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2902 AVENUE D BEHIND THE PERCY PEEK GYMNASIUM LOCATION.

>> OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MANAGER IS HERE AGAIN.

AND WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT ONE OF OUR MODEL BLOCKS FROM OUR CRA PLAN UPDATE. AS YOU KNOW SNME PROVIDED THE CRA PLAN UPDATE AFTER THEY MET WITH OUR CITIZENS AND OUR STAKEHOLDERS. AND NOW WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE THIS OPPORTUNITY DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY WITH YOU. WE ARE HERE LOOKING AT THIS VACANT PROPERTY THAT'S BEHIND THE PERCY PEEK GYM NAUZ YUM IN THE BLACKBURN CENTER OF IRSC. JUST ON A QUICK MEASURING OF PROMPT APPRAISER. LOOKS TO BE ABOUT TWO ACRES OF VACANT LAND THERE. THIS CONVERSATION WAS PROMPTED

[01:40:02]

BASED ON THE COMMUNITY INPUT, SNME CAME UP WITH CONCEPT OF UTILIZING THIS FOR NEIGHBORHOOD GROCERY AND RETAIL. LINEAR PARK.

MAYBE UTILIZING SOME OF THE COUNTY PARCEL FOR TOWN HOMES AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING. THIS WAS IDENTIFIED IN FPRA PLAN. SUBSEQUENTLY WE HAD DEVELOPER INTERESTED IN UTILIZING THIS PARCEL FOR SOME I THINK HE MENTIONED LIKE COLLEGE DORMITORY HOUSING.

HE REACHED OUT VIA E-MAIL. WE BROUGHT TO CRA ADVISORY COMMITTEE. RECOMMENDING THAT WE LOOK FOR SOLICITATION FOR THIS THAT WE PUT THIS PROPERTY OUT FOR PROPOSALS. WE'RE HERE JUST TO KIND OF DISCUSS THIS. AGAIN THIS IS VACANT PARCEL HERE. OPEN IT UP FOR DISCUSSION AND

QUESTION. >> WE OWN THE WHOLE PIECE OF

PROPERTY. >> WE OWN IT ALL.

WE BUILT THIS IN WITH THE COLLEGE.

AM I REMEMBERING THAT. >> IT'S FPRA.

THEY PUT MONEY IN THE CAPITOL. >> WE ARE NOT LOOKING TO CHANGE ANY USE OF THE EXISTING BUILDING OR THE PARKING OR ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE. WE WOULD JUST BE LOOKING FOR A PARTNER POTENTIALLY JUST BASED ON THE CONVERSATION THAT WE'VE HAD. FOR JUST THIS BACK PARCEL

HERE. >> BEFORE WE DO ANYTHING WE

OUGHT TO TALK TO THE COLLEGE. >> HE PROBABLY HAS.

THAT'S MY FEELING BEFORE WE MAKE A DECISION ABOUT WHAT WE MIGHT DO WITH IT JUST TO SEE WHAT HIS IDEAS ARE.

HIS INTEREST. IF HE HAS ANYTHING IN THE COUNTY OWNS BEHIND WHERE THE LIBRARY IS; IS THAT RIGHT?

>> LARGE LINEAR PARCEL HERE. YES, MA'AM.

>> I THINK IT'S DESIGNATED FOR STORMWATER DRAINAGE.

>> OKAY. THE COUNTY LANE.

THERE'S KIND OF BIG LONG RETENTION AREA ON THE

LEFT-HAND SIDE. >> THAT'S CORRECT.

IT'S USED FOR DRAINAGE. >> CURRENTLY.

>> THAT'S ALL RESIDENTIAL. SURROUNDING; RIGHT?

>> YES. >> MADAM MAYOR.

>> DON'T GET HIM GOING WHERE YOU CAN PUT STORMWATER.

>> THIS COMMISSIONER STARTED IT.

>> YES. CONCRETE DRAINAGE BOXES FOR

HOURS. >> THERE'S ALWAYS A WAY.

>> ALWAYS. AND ISN'T THERE A CHILDREN -- WHAT DO YOU CALL IT DAY CARE?

>> IT'S ON THE CORNER. >> D AND 29TH.

>> >> WE CAN SPEAK TO THE STATE COLLEGE ABOUT THEIR DESIRES FOR THIS.

AND GO FROM THERE. >> THEY MAY HAVE SOME OTHER ADDITIONAL USES AND PURPOSES BEFORE WE GO OUT.

IT'S AN RFP. THEY DON'T HAVE ANY IDEAS.

THEY SAY WHATEVER YOU BRING HERE WORKS FOR US.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU TOOK A TOUR OF THE CAMPUS.

WHEN DR. MASSEY TOOK ME ON THE TOUR.

BEYOND THE CAMPUS, THEY OWN A LOT OF PROPERTY AROUND THERE.

THEY HAVE PLANS FOR THAT PROPERTY.

AND SO JUST THEY JUST MIGHT BE THINKING ABOUT THIS FOR

SOMETHING. >> I WOULD AGREE WITH THAT.

I THINK IN TALKING TO DR. MOORE AND HIS ASPIRATIONAL ASPECT, I THINK IT MAY BE A GREAT PARTNERSHIP THAT SOME OF THE VISION THAT SOME OF THE COMMUNITY PEOPLE WOULD HAVE IN THAT WOULD ALSO B IN WITH THE COLLEGE.

I THINK IF WE HAD THAT CONVERSATION.

THEY GOT CREATIVE FOR DIFFERENT THINGS.

IT MAY BE A WAY FOR US TO WORK WITH THEM THROUGH THEIR CREATIVE FUNDING TO BRING SOMETHING TO THAT AREA THAT WOULD SATISFY NOT ONLY COLLEGE BUT THE RESIDENTS OF THAT

AREA. >> THERE WAS TALK AND DEVELOP OFF-LINE ABOUT SMALL BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE COMMUNITY TO NOT ONLY CREATE JOBS, BUT OPPORTUNITIES THERE THROUGH THE COLLEGE AND THEIR EXPANSION OF PROGRAMS BROUGHT

[01:45:01]

TO THAT AREA. >> AND SO I HAD RECENT CONVERSATION WITH HIM. I THINK THEY WOULD BE OPEN TO HAVING CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT.

I THINK IT'S VALUABLE PIECE OF PROPERTY.

WE NEED TO LOOK AT PARTNERSHIPS AND MORE LEASING OPPORTUNITIES THAN TO PUT IT OUT ON THE MARKET QUITE

FRANKLY. >> I THINK WE CAN GET WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR IN THAT COMMUNITY.

ONE OF THE CONCERNS THAT I HAVE THIS WOULD BE BRAND-NEW FOR THAT COMMUNITY. WE NOT ONLY FOR THE COMMUNITY THERE. BUT WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT COMMUNITY SURROUNDED THAT AREA COMFORTABLE COMING IN THERE TO PATRONIZE WHAT WE PUT IN THERE.

>> I DON'T WANT TO LOSE THAT AND BRING OTHER PEOPLE IN.

WE WANT TO SET IT UP FOR SUCCESS.

>> WE WANT THE PEOPLE TO BE COMFORTABLE.

WE WANT THEM COMFORTABLE TO PATRONIZE WHAT GOES THERE.

>> DO YOU NEED FURTHER DIRECTION.

>> I THINK I'VE HEARD IT LOUD AND CLEAR.

WE NEED TO GET ITEM PUT AND THE POSSIBLE PARTNERSHIP OF INDIAN RIVER STATE COLLEGE. PREVIOUS TO DR. MASSEY RETIRING. HE CALLED FOR MYSELF WE TALKED ABOUT COLLABORATION AND I BELIEVE THE COUNTY WAS VERY RECENTIVE TO THAT PROPERTY AS WELL.

DURING THE TIME WE DO INPUT RESEARCH, WE CAN SOLICIT THE OPINIONS. SEE IF THEY WANT THAT

PARTNERSHIP AS WELL. >> ABSOLUTELY.

>> THE OTHER THING I ADD SCHOOL DISTRICT MAYBE DISTANCE CONVERSATION PIECE BRING THEM ONBOARD WHEN IT'S TIME IF IT BECOMES A TRAINING CENTER JOB DEVELOPMENT TYPE CENTER.

I WAS GOING TO MENTION THE COUNTY.

THEY HAVE AGREEMENT WITH GREEN COLLAR TASK FOR IN THE SAMS BUILDING OR THE OLD SAMS BUILDING LOGISTICS CENTER.

THAT'S NOT THE BEST SUITED LOCATION.

I THINK IT WOULD VERY, VERY MUCH BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY.

>> WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT ESSENTIAL SERVICES OF CENTRALIZED MEDICAL SERVICES OFFERED TO THE COMMUNITY.

RIGHT IN THAT WOULD BE FANTASTIC.

WE TALKED ABOUT SMART INITIATIVES EARLIER.

THIS COULD BE A WALKING COMMUNITY THAT COULD GET THAT FOOT TRAFFIC GOING. SO WE CAN CREATE THAT TIE TO OUR SMART CITY DOWNTOWN RIGHT HERE.

I THINK, YOU KNOW WE COLLABORATE AND TALK ABOUT THIS. I THINK THAT WOULD BE YELLOW AND ONE BLOCK FROM CA MOORE. YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE OPPORTUNITY THERE AND ASPIRATIONAL EVENTS FOR THEM. YEAH IT'S BRITT MORE THAN A

BLOCK. >> IT'S ONE BLOCK MAYOR.

>> IT'S A FULL BLOCK. IT'S A FRET FALL BLOCK.

IT'S A BIG BLOCK. THEN THE LITTLE PEOPLE ACROSS THE STREET AT THE DAY CARE CENTER IS REAL.

>> RIGHT, RIGHT. >> ABSOLUTELY.

>> OKAY. THANK YOU.

>> THIS IS EXCITING. >> YES, IT IS.

[7. STAFF COMMENTS]

>> WE MOVE ON TO STAFF COMMENTS.

>> FPRA ANNUAL REPORT. >> MR. MIMMS.

>> I JUST SOME NEWS FOR YOU ALL.

I WANT YOU ALL TO KNOW THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DOCUMENTATION FROM OUR PARTNERS AT AUDUBON DEVELOPMENT FOR THE KINGS LANDING DEVELOPMENT.

WILL BE SUBMITTED THROUGH THE CITY.

THROUGH THE FPRE TO THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE.

WE'RE WORKING WITH THE PARTNERS AND NOW WE FINALLY RECEIVE ALL OF THE MISSING DOCUMENTATION THAT WE ALL KNOW THAT WE BEEN STROOIING TO RECEIVE FOR A LONG TIME.

WE'LL GET THAT MOVING. YOU HAVE A COPY OF OUR ANNUAL REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR FOR THE YEAR 2020.

AND IT'S JUST FILLED WITH EVEN THOUGH WE DID HAVE STILL IN THE MIDST OF GLOBAL SITUATION. WE'RE STILL MAKING THINGS HAPPEN. WHETHER THAT'S WORKING WITH THE COMMUNITY, WORKING WITH THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB.

OR JUST MOVING FORWARD DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE.

I BELIEVE THEY HAD ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL YEAR.

[01:50:03]

WE WANTED TO ATTACK THAT FOR YOUR REVIEW.

AND HAVE THAT FOR YOU REFERENCE WHEN YOU ARE OUT IN THE PUBLIC. OTHER THAN THAT, I BELIEVE THAT'S -- ONE MORE. WE'RE GOING TO INITIATE OUR NEGOTIATIONS WITH SHELLIE AND ASSOCIATES TOMORROW.

THAT BEGINS FOR FISCHERMAN'S WHARF.

IT DOESN'T STOP. WE KEEP MOVING.

>> ON AUDUBON. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN THAT WE HAVE THE DOCUMENTS? DO WE HAVE A PLAN?

DO WE HAVE PLANS YET? >> ALL OF THE RELEVANT DOCUMENTS NEEDED FOR SECTION SITE PLAN REVIEW HAVE BEEN RECEIVED AND WE'LL GET THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.

HOPEFULLY WITHIN THE NEXT 3-4 MONTHS IT'S BEFORE YOU FOR THE

SITE PLAN APPROVAL. >> OKAY.

>> SHOVEL AND DIRT ANTICIPATION.

>> I DON'T KNOW. BUT I WILL SAY EARLY 2022.

I WILL BE OPTIMISTIC. IT'S COMING.

>> IT'S COMING. >> ALL RIGHTY.

[8. BOARD COMMENTS]

BOARD COMMENTS. >> IS THERE ANY MEMBER OF THE BOARD THAT WANTS TO MAKE A COMMENT?

>> YES. >> I'M SORRY.

THIS THE IMPORTANT. HERE'S WHY.

IT'S A REQUEST. I HAD A CUP OF COFFEE.

WE DO ACT IN DIFFERENT CAPACITY WE DO AS CITY COMMISSION. THIS IS FOR MR. SWEENEY MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE. AND WE'RE CHALLENGED AS A COMMISSION WITH OUR CITY OF FT. PIERCE COMMISSION WE'VE BEEN HAVING DISCUSSION ABOUT SHORT-TERM RENTALS.

I WANT TO KNOW HOW THAT RELATES TO FPRA.

THE DISTRICT IS EXPANSIVE IN THE CRA.

HERE'S WHAT GOT ME. I WANTED TO BRING IT UP TODAY.

I'M SORRY, WE WILL HIT OUR MARK.

THE DISTRICT ALLOWED TO ADOPT RULE NECESSARY FOR THE DISTRICT TO ENFORCE CERTAIN DEED RESTRICTIONS FOR THE USE.

PURSUANT TO INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT IF YOU HAVE AGREEMENT OUTSIDE YOUR DISTRICT.

THE DEED RESTRICTION PERTAINING TO USE OF OPERATION OF REAL PROPERTY WITHIN THE DISTRICT.

HOW DO I SAY THIS IN SUCH A WAY.

I WANT TO HAVE SOME ADVICE GIVEN FOR MR. SWEENEY AT SOME POINT. HOW DOES THAT CHAPTER AND THAT SECTION APPLY TO OUR CRA OR FRA DISTRICT AND HOW COULD WE HELP SOLIDIFIED OPPORTUNITY WITH SHORT-TERM RENTALS IF THAT'S A CONVERSATION PIECE. BECAUSE WE DO CARRY A DIFFERENT CAPACITY AND BURDEN WITH THIS ADD-ON.

I DON'T WANT TO CREATE A RULE THAT PUT IT THIS WAY.

I DON'T WANT COCREATE RULE OUTLAW SHORT-TERM RENTALS.

I BELIEVE FPRA HAS THE DUTY AND AUTHORITY AND PRESENCE TO HELP THAT SITUATION. WOULD YOU AGREE WITH THAT?

A LITTLE BIT? >> LET ME START WITH SAYING.

I WILL NOT GO TOO DEEP INTO IT RIGHT NOW.

YOU'RE TALKING THREE VERY DIFFERENT TYPES OF IDEAS.

YOU'VE GOT THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE.

ALL THE BROAD POWERS OF THE MUNICIPALITY.

YOU HAVE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY.

IT HAS A DIFFERENT MISSION FOCUS AND SCOPE AND UNDER A DIFFERENT SECTION OF FLORIDA STATUTES.

THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT IS TYPICALLY A WHAT IT IS IT'S A SUPER HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION.

IF I WERE TO MAKE IT THAT SIMPLISTIC.

THAT IS REALLY BEING VERY SIMPLISTIC.

>> DIDN'T WE HAVE ONE -- >> WE DO.

WE APPROVED ONE. IT GOES THROUGH PUBLIC PROCESS. ESSENTIALLY WHAT YOU ARE DOING ALLOWING A MINI GOVERNMENT TO FORM WITHIN YOUR CITY.

AND THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND ALL OF

[01:55:01]

AND ALL KIND OF THINGS COULD HAPPEN IN FACT.

WE HAD REQUEST TO DISBAND ONE OUT MIND WAL-MART AND I APOLOGIZE. THE NAME OF THAT MULTIFAMILY.

>> PORTFINO SHORES. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THEY HAVE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.

THEY ARE LOOKING TO DISSOLVE IT.

REALLY DISCUSSION OF THAT PLANNING AND ZONING IS TRULY THE PERVIEW OF THE CITY. WEAR THING HAT RIGHT NOW IS YOUR CRA, ADVISOR. WE HAVE A PLAN FOR CRA.

WE TALK ABOUT PROPERTY WE OWN IN THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT FUNCTION OF THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE.

IT'S DRIVEN BY THE PLANNING CODE.

IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO AT LEAST AS I SEE RIGHT NOW, KIND OF SAY FPRA HAS THE ABILITY TO DO THAT.

BECAUSE I DON'T THINK IT ARE FALLS IN THAT.

I THINK IT'S WORTH EXPLORING MORE.

YOU MAKE THE POINT THERE'S ACTIVITIES THAT ARE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. THAT MAYBE ARE MORE ABLE TO BE HANDLED IN THIS FORM. I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE PARKLETS. I GO BACK TO THOSE RIGHT OF

WAY ARE OWNED BY THE CITY. >> WHEN WE TALK ABOUT SPECIAL USE OR WHATEVER WEEKEND. WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT AS FPRA; BUT ULTIMATELY, YOUR OTHER HAT WILL HAVE TO BE ON BECAUSE THAT CITY RIGHT-OF-WAY WE ARE TALKING ABOUT.

THAT'S ONE THING WE ALWAYS HAVE TO REMEMBER.

I APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING IT. WE HAVE DIFFERENT HATS AND WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE STAY WITHIN OUR LANES.

WE'RE INTERACTING WITH THE CITY GOVERNMENT YOU KNOW AND IN THIS CAPACITY. IT'S A LITTLE BIT ODD.

WE DO HAVE DIFFERENT HATS. I BROUGHT UP CDD TO TALK ABOUT FPRA AND THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE.

I BRING IT UP IN MEETING FOR SPECIFIC REASON.

IF WE GO BACK TO WHAT THE FPRA HAS HAD TO DO.

OUR FPRA SET UP TO DO MANY, MANY THINGS.

ONE OF THOSE THE TALKING ABOUT THE IDEA NEIGHBORHOODS, IT TALKS ABOUT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

>> THERE'S THREE THINGS THAT WE SAID WE DO THIS YEAR.

THAT'S PART OF OUR PLAN. >> YES.

NEIGHBORHOODS STABILIZATION. WHICH MEANS REDUCING RENTALS.

AND INCREASING HOMEOWNERSHIP. >> I DON'T WANT TO GET STR CONVERSATION DEEP. I WANTED TO SAY IT BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION. I WALKED IN THE CHAMBER AND SAID WE ARE SITTING AS FPRA AND ALL OF OUR APPLICATIONS FOR THOSE SHORT-TERM RENTALS COME IN WITHIN OUR CRA AND WE'RE NOT HAVING THAT CONVERSATION HERE AT THIS HAT ON. MAYBE WE SHOULD BE.

DOES IT MAKE AN IMPACT OR NOT. IF YOU LOOK AT THE MISSION STATEMENT OF THE FPRA, IT'S DEFINITELY DRIVEN BY NEIGHBORHOODS AND COMMUNITY AND REDEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY.

>> NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. HOW DOES THAT RELATE TO COMMISSION HATS? THAT'S A LOT OF DISCUSSION

HOUR WITH MR. SWEENEY. >> IF WE SEPARATE UNDER CRA STATUTE, THAT HAS A LOT OF FLEXIBILITY IN IT.

A LOT OF FLEX. BY THE LEGISLATURE CONTINUES TO TRY TO SORT OF CURTAIL. BUT

>> YEAH. THAT'S THE ONLY REASON I BROUGHT IT UP TO TALK ABOUT IT WITH THAT HAT ON AND MENTALITY. IT'S HARD TO DISTINGUISH AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. YOU HAVE TO RELATE THE TWO.

YOU CARRY OUT THE MISSIONS WHICH YOU SET FORTH.

NO MATTER WHAT HAT YOU'RE WARING.

IT'S GOOD THAT YOU BROUGHT IT -- SO THAT WE REMEMBER WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT -- WHEN WE'RE DOING SOMETHING WITH THE I. WHEN IT'S IN THE FPRA AREA.

WE NEED TO BECONSCIOUS. >> WE NEED TO BE THOUGHTFUL OF

IT. >> PARKLET.

THAT'S THE CITY'S JURISDICTION.

I KNOW WHICH TALK ABOUT IT AT THIS MEETING.

IT DOESN'T MATTER. IT'S THE CITY RIGHT-OF-WAY.

I COMPARTMENTALIZE. THIS GREAT DISCUSSION.

GIVES YOU MISSION AND DISCUSSION POINTS.

AND SUPPORT. IT'S STILL CITY OF RIGHT-OF-WAY AND CITY STONING AS YOU TALK ABOUT.

WANTED TO PUT THAT OUT THERE. I WALKED IN WITH THAT THOUGHT TODAY. I WANTED TO SHARE IT.

[02:00:02]

. >> ANYBODY ELSE?

>> SHALL WE ADJOURN. >> YES, MA'AM.

>> LET'S ADJOURN.
