THERE SAR -- IS A 2 YEAR PLAN. I BELIEVE WE HAVE SEVERAL MEMBES OF THED A VICARY BOARD HERE WITH THE ENTIRE STAFF.

I WOULD ASK THAT THE ADVISORY BOARD.

>> GOOD MORNING. >> GOOD MORNING.

>> THIS IS REBECCA SHEER. REBECCA IS THE CHAIR OF OUR

ADVISORY BOARD. >> WELCOME.

>> SHE IS ALSO ON THE STRATEGIC PLANNING COMMITTEE.

SHE'S GOING TO BE GIVING YOU HER PRESENTATION ON THE FIVE YER

PLAN. >> BUT, MS. COX, IS MS. ENGELS

CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE MIC? >> PROBABLY NEEDS TO GET A LITTE

BIT CLOSER. >> YOU HAVE A MIC THERE, TOO.

>> WELCOME. >> GOOD MORNING.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME TODAY. I'M HERE TODAY TO SPECIFICALLY TALK ABOUT THE FIVE YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN OUTLINE FOR E SUNRISE THEATER. I'D FIRST LIKE TO START WITH SOE INTRODUCTIONS. I AM REBECCA SHEER THE CHAIR OF THE ADVISORY BOARD AND I HAE WITH ME HERE TODAY SEVERAL MEMBERS OF OUR ADVISORY BOARD.

IF THEY WOULD PLEASE STAND AND E RECOGNIZED AND OUR FOUNDATIN

BOARD MEMBERS. >> WOW, THANK YOU FOR BEING HER.

>> VERY HAPPY THEY ARE HERE. >> AND THEN WITHIN THE BOARD WE HAVE SEVEN DIFFERENT COMMITTEES.

ONE BEING THE STRATEGIC PLANNING COMMITTEE THAT IS MADE UP WH SOME OF THE MEMBERS HERE TODAY.

STRATEGIC PLANNING COMMITTEE MET IN JUNE TO START WITH THE IA OF COMING UP WITH A FIVE YER PLAN FOR SUNRISE THEATER.

WE ACTUALLY REACHED OUT TO THIS SBDC AT THE STATE COLLEGE AD TOM EPSKE AS A CONSULTANT TO HELP US WITH A PROCESS AND START DISCUSSION FOR A FIVE YEAR PLAN.

AS WE WENT THROUGH THAT TRAINING SESSION ONE THING WAS VERY EVIDENT THAT WE FELT VERY STRONGLY THAT THE CITY AND E SUNRISE SHOULD ACCEPT THE OFFER FOR IF ONE YEAR CONTRACT. AND THE ENTIRED A SIS -- ENTIRE ADVISORY BOARD VOTED AS WELL THAT WE SHOULD MOVE FORWARD

WITH THIS ONE YEAR CONTRACT. >> IF WE GO FORWARD WITH THAT CONTRACT, THAT WILL OBVIOUSY IMPACT AND DECIDE A LOT ABOT THE NEXT STEPS FOR THE STRATEGIC PLAN.

SO, A LOT OF OUR STRATEGIC PLAN REALLY DEPENDS ON SEVERAL FACTORS HERE. IF AND WHEN WE ACCEPT THE CONTRACT, IF AND WHEN WE ACCEPT THE SHUTTERED VENUE GRANT THAT HAS BEEN AWARDEDO THE SUNRISE.

IF THOSE THINGS HAPPEN, WE WILL THEN THE PFM ORGANIZATION ACTUALLY BRING AS LOT OF CONSULTING SERVICES TO HELP WITH THINGS LIKE THE STRATEC PLAN AND FOUNDATION AND THIG LIKES THAT. AT THIS POINT THE STRATEGIC PLANNING COMMITTEE WOULD BE WAITING TO FIND OUT THROUGH THEIR SERVICES DEFINITELY ADVICE AND RECOMMENDATIONS N MOVING FORWARD. SO, AT THIS POINT, A LOT OF THE FIVE YEAR PLAN WILL DEPEND N WHEN THAT STARTS HAPPENING.

IN AN IDEAL WORLD WE WOULD LOVE FOR THAT TO START ON OCTOBER 1ST AT WHICH POINT WE WOULD THEN START SCHEDULG STRATEGIC PLANNING WORKSHOPS IN OCTOBER, NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER. IF ALL OF THAT HAPPEN, THERE'S A LOT OF IFS HERE WE WOULD THEN HOPE TO BE ABLE TO COME BACK TO YOU BY JANUARY OR FEBRUARY WITH THE COMPLETE PRESENTATION OF OUR FIVE YER STRATEGIC PLAN.

BUT, AGAIN, A LOT OF FACTORS GO INTO THAT.

THE SHUTTER VENUE GRANT AND THE PFM AND COVID-19.

ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THEY WIL BE DOING IS AN ANALYSIS OF E CURRENT STATE OF THE THEATER AND MARKET RESEARCH AND THIG

[00:05:02]

TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF THE THINS WE'VE ALREADY LOOKED AT AND WILL BE FOCUSING ON THAT STRATEGIC PLAN.

HERE ARE SOME FOCUS AREAS. PFM WE WILL WORK WITH THEM DO A COMPLETE ANALYSIS OF THE CURRENT THEATER OPERATIONS.

A COUPLE YEARS THEY DID A PRELIMINARY THING BACK THEN AND WE WILL BE MOVING FORWAD WITH SOME OF THOSE IDEAS.

DEFINITELY LOOKING AT OTHER STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS SUCHS THE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS HERE AND BUSINESS OWNERS AND THING LIKES THAT. AND DEFINITELY A FOCUS ON FINANCIALS. CURRENTLY, WE WOULD DEFINITELY E LOOKING AT THE REVENUE STRES SUCH AS THE RENTAL FACILITY, THE 50/50 PERFORMANCES AND INCREASING THE NAMING OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE AT E SUNRISE.

>> FUND RAISING WILL BE ANOTHER TOP PRIORITY AND EXAMINING L THE OPPORTUNITIES. ONE THING I DO WANT TO STRESS HE IS I HAVE HEARD THERE'S SOME CONFUSION SO I WANT TO ADDRS THE FACT THAT THERE IS ANEDA SOSRY BOARD AT THE SUNRISE D COMPLETELY SEMIRAT SPWEPB SEPARATE SPWEUPBTY ENTITY FOUNDATION. SOMEONE WHO HAS BAN MEMBER FOR N YEARS THERE'S NEVER BEEN ANY WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH TE FOUNDATION. I AM HAPPY TO REPORT IT WAS A GREAT CONVERSATION AND WE AGREED TO WORK TOGETHER MOVG FORWARD FOR THE BENEFIT OF E SUNRISE.

I WOULD LIKE TO STRESS THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED IN THE PAST.

WE WOULD ALSO BE LOOKING AT MORE CORPORATE SPONSORSHIPS AND WITH PFM'S ASSISTANCE MORE GRANT OPPORTUNITIES.

AND ANOTHER BIG TOP FOCUS OF THS FIVE YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN WIL BE THE MEMBERSHIP AND MARKETING ANALYSIS WITH THE SERVICES FROM PFM REALLY LOOKING AT THE MARKET ANALYS AND INCREASING THE MEMBERSHP DRIVE OF THE SUNRISE THEATE.

THAT'S MY PRESENTATION HERE TODAY.

WE HAVE STARTED THESE CONVERSATIONS AN WE'RE LOOKG FORWARD TO MOVING FORWARD WH THESE CONVERSATIONS BUT A LT DOES DEPEND ON THE GRANT AND THE PFM STATUS.

THANK YOU. >> YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD

MS. ENGEL? >> NOT CURRENTLY.

WERE HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

I THINK THAT REBECCA'S PRESENTATION WAS SPOT ON.

THE SUNRISE THEATER ADVISORY BOD AND IF STRATEGIC PLANNING COMMITTEE IS VERY DEDICATED AND FOCUSED ON MOVING THE SUNRISE THEATER FORWARD ANDN ADDITION TO THE SUNRISE THEATER FOUNDATION. LIKE REBECCA SAID, THOSE WHO ENTITIES HAD NEVER REALLY CE TOGETHER TO WORK TOGETHER AD THAT'S ONE OF THE MISSING PIECES I THINK THAT OVER THE PAST YEARS HAS UNFORTUNATELY NOT WORKED TO OUR BENEFIT.

>> ANY QUESTIONS? >> OKAY.

THANK YOU FOR THAT. I WAS PART OF A LOT OF THOSE DISCUSSIONS AND IT'S GREAT O HEAR YOUR ADVISORY BOARD IS VERY ACTIVE AND THEY ARE VEY COMMITTED TO THIS.

>> WHEN WE GOT IN THE DISCUSSION ABOUT FOUNDATION AND WHAT TE FOUND FOUNDATION ACTUALLY DOES.

EXISTING FOUNDATION HAS A VERY NARROW FOCUS ON CHILDREN'S ACTIVITIES AND TRANSPORTATIN AND STUFF LIKE THAT BUT THEE WAS BIG DISCUSSION ABOUT CREATING ITS OWN FOUNDATION THAT IS LOOKING TO THE COMMUNITY FOR ASSISTANCE IN THE FINANCIAL ASPECT OF IT. I KNOW WITH OTHER THEATERS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATEA LOT OF THE SUCCESS THAT THEY HAVE IS HAVING THAT TYPE OFA FOUNDATION STRUCK TKHOUR GO FORWARD -- STRUCTURE TO GO FORWARD.

WE HAVE DISCUSSED THAT. IS THAT STILL ENVISIONED AS PART

OF THE PART OF THE PLAN? >> YES, THE ADVISORY MEETING, THERE WAS MAJOR DISCUSSION THAT IF THE CURRENT FOUNDATN CONTINUED TO ONLY FOCUS ON CHILDREN'S THEATER, THEN THE ADVISORY BOARD WOULD BE LOOK AT OPPORTUNITIES TO CREATE A COMPLETELY SEPARATE FOUNDATION.

THAT WAS BROUGHT UP. BUT AGAIN, MY RECOMMENDATION AND INTEREST WAS GOING TO THE FOUNDATION AND HAVING A CONVERSATION THAT HAD NEVER REALLY HAPPENED.

SO I DID THAT FIRST SAYING WHATS YOUR INTEREST? WHY? AND YOU THINK WE COULD WORK TOGETHER TO DO THAT? IT WAS VERY WELL RECEIVED.

IT WAS JUST A COUPLE WEEKS AGO O THE NEXT CONSERVATION WILL E FORMING A MEETING OCTOBER TO BRING THESE TWO WORLDS TOGETHER. THE CURRENT PLAN IS TO KEEP THE

[00:10:01]

>> THAT WAS DEFINITELY ONLY USED FOR CHILDREN'S THEATER PROGM

PROGRAMMING. >> AND OUR GOAL IS TO INCREASE THAT BUT THEN ALSO STRUCTURE IT FROM THE VERY BEGINNING O STILL OBVIOUSLY OFFER CHILDREN'S THEATER PROGRAMMG BUT TO ALSO SUPPORT THE THEATER OPERATIONS IN TOTAL BUT INCREASING THE REVENUE O BE ABLE TO DO THAT.

>> THANK YOU. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

ANY OTHER DISCUSSIONS? >>

>> LISTENING INTENTLY. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE THIS MORNING AND THE LAST PART IS WHEY WAS LOOKING TO HEAR I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE NUMBERS PART OF IT.

>> SOT SOME POINTLY HEAR FROM MY DIRECTOR FINANCE.

THE PLANS RIGHT NOW AND I'M THE COMMISSIONER THAT'S LOOKINGT AGAIN HOW DO WE JOIN ADDRESS THE FINANCIAL SHORT FALLS? THE PLANS ARE GREAT SOUNDS GOOD. STRATEGIC PLAN.

I'M ALL FOR ALL OF THAT. . ONE OF THE THINGS I GUESS I WANT TO BE CLEAR ON. THE OPPORTUNITY LOOKING TO -- AS WELL AS I GUESS I WAS UNDER TIM PRESS THAT WE WERE MOVIG FORWARD WITH THE SHUTTER GRANT.

CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME AN UPDATE SOMEWHERE WHERE WE ARE WITH THAT AND WHY WEAR NOT MOVING FORWARD.

>> IT APPEARS WE ARE MOVING FORWARD WITH THE SHUTTERED VENUES GRANT. TESTIFY ADVISORY BOARD HAS NOT HEARD THAT WE ACCEPTED THATT GRANT.

WE WERE WORKING THROUGH. >> OKAY.

>> I'M GLAD WERE HAVING SOME TOH CONVERSATIONS.

THIS HAS BEEN TOUGH FOR LAST SIX MONTHS.

I THINK AS A PERSON THAT REPRESENTS ALL OF FORT PIERE IT'S ABOUT HAVE DO WE MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE UNDERSTAS THAT AND PEOPLE DON'T. SO, I WAS JUST ENCOURAGED THAT E CONTINUE TO TRY TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION SOONER THAN LAR TO FIGURE THIS OUT AND I'M GLAD WE GOT SOME UNDERSTANDG

ON THAT FOUNDATION BOARD. >> I THINK THAT'S ESSENTIAL -- ESSENTIAL. I MADE NO SECRET ABOUT IT.

I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE AMOUNT F NUN WE PUT IN THERE.

I RECEIVED ALL THESE LETTERS FRM CITIZENS AND EVERYTHING ELS.

THE SAME IS CITIZENS ABOUT MAKIG ARGUMENTS WON'T PAVE ROADS.

THEY WANT SAFETY. THEY WANT EVERYTHING BUT YET THY DON'T UNDERSTAND WE HAVE ONY SO MUCH MONEY GO AROUND.

SO WE HAVE TO SERVICE THE ENTIRE CITY.

THE DRAFT FORM WE WILL START VOTING ON THE BUDGET.

>> WHAT WAS THEIR AGREEMENT? WHAT DID THEY PROPOSE? WHAT WAS THE AMOUNT? WHAT WAS THE DURATION?

>> IT'S A 12 MONTH CONTRACT. >> THEY WILL PROVIDE US WITH CONSULTING SERVICE IN ALL AREAS.

I THINK THOSE ARE TWO KEY THINGS FOR THIS CONTRACT.

THEY WILL ADVICE AND MOVING FORWARD WITH CORONAVIRUS.

THEY HAVE MANY VENUES THAT THEY OPERATE.

HOW THEY'RE DEALING WITH THINGS AND HOW IT LOOKS FOR THIS

ENTRY. >> RIGHT NOW WITH THE OPPORTUNIY HAVE THEM ON BOARD WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO USE THE SHUTTERED VENUE OPERATORS GRANT.

[00:15:03]

THEY WILL BE ABLE TO GIVE US QUALIFIED INFORMATION ON HOW

WE ARE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD. >> OKAY.

THAT'S GOOD INFORMATION. ED IN ADDITION TO THAT.

WHAT DO YOU SEE THE MARKETING SE OF THE BUSINESS.

WHAT RECOMMENDATIONS. WHAT EXPERIENCES ARE THEY GOINGO BRING TO YOU AND YOUR STAFFO HELP EXPAND AND BROADEN THER

HORIZONS. >> IN EACH DEPARTMENT THEY HAVE MANY, MANY LAYERS PROFESSIONALS THAT WORK WITH THEM AND THAT OPERATE OTHER VENUES.

THEY WILL BE LOOK AT OUR MARKETG PLANS AND HELP US TO ANALYZE THEM AND SEE WHAT IS WORK CURRENTLY.

>> HAVE TRACKED SHOWS ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

>> AND KNOW WHERE THEY DO WELL. >> WHAT FINANCIAL NUMBERS THAT THEY PRESENT AND WHAT MIGHTE COULD PITCH IN HERE AT OUR THEATER. I THINK IT'S MANY, MANY DIFFERET WAYS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO E ABLE TO ASSIST US NOT JUST N MARKETERRING BUT IN OPERATIS AND IN OUR FINANCIALS.

>> WE ARE CURRENTLY THE WAY WE OPERATE LIKE A CITY.

WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT EXACTLY THE LINE ITEMS THAT WE ARE USING AS A CITY. WHAT DO THEY MEAN TO THE THEATER OPERATION? BECAUSE QUITE FRANKLY IF WE WERE TO SHOW OUR BUDGET TO ANOTHR VENUE THAT'S NOT A VENUE --

THEY COULDN'T COMPREHEND IT. >> I THINK THAT'S A BIG PART TRYING TO MANAGE A BUDGET TT ISN'T EXACTLY IN FINE TUNE WITH A THEATER OPERATION IS DIFFICULT.

SO, I'M CONSTANTLY CALLING OVERO FINANCE AND SPEAKING TO THE CHIEF ACCOUNTANT SAYING WHAT IS THIS LINE ITEM AND WHY AE YOU PUTTING THIS MONEY HERE AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN.

AND IT DOESN'T ALWAYS JIVE. IT'S NOT ALWAYS THE SAME. I THIK THEY WILL GIVE US A BROAD UNDERSTANDING.

MAKE ATE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER RUN LIKE A PERFORMING ARTS CENTER BUT OWNED BY A CITY. DO YOU REMEMBER THE CONTRACT

NUMBERS? >> A MONTH?

>> YES. >> IT'S $10,000 A MONTH.

>> THEY WILL ANALYZE, THEY WILL REVIEW.

THEY WILL OVER SEE BUT DO A CURSORY REVIEW AND GET IN-DEPTH INTO SOME PARAMETERS.

ARE THEY GOING TO -- THEY GET IN THE TRENCHING WITH US.

>> WITH THE GRANT THERE'S ALWAYS CONDITIONS.

WHAT IS THE CONDITION OF THE GRT THAT I SHOULD BE.

>> THE PURPOSE OF THE SHUTTERED VENUES OPERATOR'S GRANT WASO ASSIST THE ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS WITH CONTINUING.

THE ONLY PARAMETER IS THAT WE HE THE INTENT TO REOPEN IN ORDR TO TAKE THE MONEY. THERE IS NO -- AND FOR THE TIME THAT WE DO OPERATE ALL OF TE RECORDS DURING THAT TIME WE SAVED FOR A PERIOD OF FOUR D FIVE YEARS SO WE CAN REPORT THEM IF WE ARE AUDITED FOR E MONEY.

THE ONLY CONDITION IS THAT WE HE THE INTENT TO REOPEN.

>>> THANK YOU.% >> SO, I HAVE A COUPLE OF

QUESTIONS. >> IT'S INTERESTING TO ME THAT E FOUNDATION AND THE ADVISORY BOARD WERE OPERATING IN SILS IT REMINDS ME OF THE PREP 9/11, CIA AND FBI DIDN'T SHE INTELLIGENCE AND LEARN THE HARD WAY WHAT THAT MEANT BY NOT SHARING INTELLIGENCE. GOOD FOR YOU FOR MAKING SURE THT THAT HAPPENED. USUALLY A FOUNDATION MEANS IS CE IF YOU SEE THEM COMING THEY WANT MONEY.

>> ITEM ASSISTANCE FUND RAISING ACTIVITY FOR THE MOST PART.

[00:20:01]

THERE HAS TO BE A REAL DEDICATIN FROM THE COMMUNITY I RECEIVD LOT OF E-MAILS BEGGING ME TO KEEP THE SUNRISE THEATER OPEN. I BELIEVED THIS COMMISSION HAD NEVER REALLY SAID WE WILL ST IT EVER.

WERE UNWILLING TO SEND TAX DOLLS BELIEVE WHAT WE SHOULD SPEN.

I AM SPEAKING FOR MYSELF. I NEVER INTENDED.

I NEVER THOUGHT THAT THIS THEATR WOULD BE A MONEY MAKER.

I NEVER ENVISIONED THAT IT WOULD RAISE SO MUCH MONEY THAT IT WOULD GIVE BACK TO THE CITY. I UNDERSTAND THAT IN THE PERFORMING ARTS I KNOW THIS LITTLE BIT OF KNOWLEDGE THAS A DANGEROUS THING. I HAVE START TALKED TO OTHER CITIESES. I TALKED TO THOSE WHO HAVE

THEATERS AND HOW. >> AND WHEN THEATER IS OWNED BYA CITY THE CITY IS ALWAYS UNDR WRITING IT.

THE CITY HAS TO UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH THEY WILL BE ABLE TO

TOLERATE IT TO UNDER RIDE I. >> MANY PEOPLE COMPARE IT TO PAS AND SAY YOU DON'T EVEN THINK OF THE MONEY YOU SPEND ON PARKS. WELL, YOU DON'T.

EVERYBODY CAN USE A THEATER. IT'S A PRICE.

IT'S A PRICE. ANYBODY CAN USE A GOLF COURSE BT YOU HAVE TO PAY A PRICE EVEN THOUGH IT'S A PUBLIC AMENITY AND OWN BID THE CITY. I BELIEVE IN THE SUNRISE THEATER AND BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE SUPPORTED AND BELIEVE WE SHOULD GET BACK TO THAT TIME WHEN THERE WAS A HUGE COMMUNITY SUPPORT FOR THE THEATER AND A HUGE APPRECIAE APPRECIATION FOR HOW IMPORTT IT WAS TO FORT PIERCE.

I ALSO KNOW THAT YOU HAD THE LARGEST VOLUNTEER FORCE AND THAT VOLUNTEER FORCE SHOULDE ENCOURAGED AND USED AND APPRECIATED. I THINK YOU HAVE DONE A PRETTY GOOD JOB AT THAT BUT THEY ND TO BE ON THE SAME TEAM.

A PERFORMING ARTS DOESN'T SIT IA CITY BUDGET.

IT'S ANTITHETICAL BECAUSE YOU'RE DEALING WITH ARTISTS AND YOU'RE DEALING WITH A LOT OF THINGS THAT A CITY DOESN'T USUALLY DEAL WITH. ESPECIALLY ARTISTS WHO REQUIRE A LOT OF PAMPERING. WHEN WE'RE IN GOVERNMENT.

>> PAMPERING IS EVERY CITIZEN IS TREATED EQUALLY.

WE ALL TRY TO TREAT THEM WITH RESPECT.

IN THE PERFORMING ARTS BUSINESS% NOT SO MUCH.

IT'S BEYOND THAT. WE NEED LOOK AT WHAT THINGS ARE COSTING AND WHAT THE WHOLE - I HEARD YOU SAY THIS.

>> THE RISK BENEFITS. THAT'S THE WAY YOU LOOK AT THINGS. AND SO, I THINK THIS IS ALL VERY

[00:25:03]

AND I WAS REMEMBERING THAT THE SHUTTERED VENUE GRANT IS THE ONE THAT IS GOING TO BRING N THE NOUN PAY FOR PFM.

AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE BADLY NEED.

AND I THINK THAT THE SUNRISE THEATER HAS BEEN HURT BY CORONAVIRUS MORE THAN ANY OTHER DEPARTMENT AND BECAUSE IT'S JUST THE NATURE OF THE BEAST.

YOU KNOW IF ANY PERFORMING ARTS THEATERS ARE BACK IN BUSINES IN TERMS OF IN THIS STATE OR ON BROADWAY OR ANYWHERE?

>> MADAME MAYOR. BROADWAY IS OPEN WITH STRICT PROTOCOLS IN PLACE FOR THE ARTIST THEM THEMSELVES.

THE PERFORMER, THE BACKSTAGE CRW AND THE AUDIENCE MEMBERS.

>> AS FAR AS FLORIDA THEATERS AD PERFORMING ARTS CENTERS.

THEY ARE OPEN TO THE DEGREE THEY ARE ABLE TO OPEN.

ARTISTS ARE SENDING US ADDENDUMS TO THEIR CONTRACTS THAT ARE REQUESTING PROTOCOLS BEING N PLACE FOR THEM TO BE ABLE FR THEM TO EVEN COME TO THE THEATER.

>> SO WE ARE LOOKING AT THOSE AD SEEING WHAT WE CAN HONOR AND WHAT WE CANNOT HONOR. THIS MORNING, WITH THE CEO OF TE BROWARD CENTER. HE SAID SHARON EVERY VENUE IN TE WORLD IS FACING THE EXACT SE THING.

SO WE ARE NO DIFFERENT RIGHT NO. >> THAN ANY OTHER BROWARD CENTE.

>> WE ARE ALL LOOKING AT THIS AD NO ONE HAS A CRYSTAL BALL.

SO NO ONE KNOWS WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WITH CORONAVIRUS AND THE NEXT SIX MONTHS. CAN WE PLAN FOR IT?

WE CAN. >> IF WE COULD YOU WOULD NOT BE HERE. IT WOULD BE CORRECT IN THE CABIS -- IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY AS A LIFELINE TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE PLANNING. IT'S THE AMOUNT THAT WE ALREADY RECEIVED. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE WORKING ON AND HOPEFULLY WE WILL KNOW WITHIN NEXT FEW WEEKS IF WE'LL BE RECEIVING THAT.

>> GOOD. >> TELL ME WHAT THE 50/50 PARTNERSHIP IS. YOU HAD THAT ON THE SCREEN AT OE

TIME. >> THOSE ARE -- SO THOSE ARE --

>> IS THAT WITH A SPONSOR PUTS STPHUP.

>> IT'S WITH ANOTHER PRESENTER O THAT THEY WOULD SHARE PART F

THE RISK. >> IT WOULD BE MYSELF. IT WOULDE WORKING WITH AEG WHO BRING N SOME OF THE BIGGER NAMES.

WE WOULD SHARE IN THE RISK BUT ALSO SHARE IN THE PROFIT.

IT WOULD BE PERFORMANCES THAT WOULD ATTRACT A LARGE AUDIENCE. YOU TALKED ABOUT OTHER PARTNERSHIPS. ARE YOU TALKING WITH PARTNERSHIS

WITH BUSINESSES AND BANKS. >> YES, CORPORATE SPONSORSHIPS.

GETTING IT OUT MORE TO THE COMMUNITY.

WORKING WITH THE FOUNDATION AND REBUILDING A LOT OF THOSE RELATIONSHIPS AND STARTING W ONES WHICH AGAIN HASN'T BEEN

HAPPENING LATELY. >>> AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT U HAVE TO OVER COME I BELIEVES BECAUSE I HEARD THIS.

SAID TO ME. WHY SHOULD I SUPPORT THE SUNRISE IN TERMS OF DONATION NOT IN TERMS OF TICKETS WHEN MY TAX DOLLARS ARE ALREADY GOING TO THE SUNRISE? I THINK THAT'S A BIG HURD TOLL OVER COME.

AND WE ALL AND NOT JUST YOU BUT ALL OF US UP HERE NEED TO CONSIDER A WAY TO COUNTER THAT.

AND I'M ANYING ONE THING IN TERS OF THE SUNRISE DID WITH THE PART IS DOING WITH THE PART BECAUSE IT'S A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN A CLUB AND THE CITYO BRING THE PART TO A WONDERFL STATE OF WHERE IT'S WELCOMIG TO ALL PEOPLE INCLUDING PEOE WHO ARE PHYSICALLY WHEN DO YOU START PLANNING FOR

[00:30:38]

ON THIS. >> WE CANNOT SIT THERE AND MUDDE ALONG AND SAY ALL OF A SUDDN LET'S GO BACK TO WORK.

WORK IS NOW. YOU NEED TO LOOK AT THIS AND SEE WHAT'S STARTING TO HAPPEN AD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THOSE OPPORTUNITIES THAT TURN INTO REVENUE BUILDINGS.

>> I THINK THAT'S REALLY IMPORTT THAT WE NEED TO GO FORWARD

WITH THAT. >> THAT HAVE'S WHY I SAY THE IMPORTANCE OF SIGNING IN THT CONTRACT.

THE LONGER WE WAIT THE SOONER WE SIGN UP FOR THOSE SERVICES.

CORONAVIRUS HAS CHANGED A LITTLE BIT OF THOSE NATIONWIDE.

TESTIFY WHOLE WORLD WAS AFFECTED BY THIS.

NOT EVERYBODY HAS THE SHUTTER VENUES GRANT.

SHARON AND HER TEAM WROTE THAT D NOW HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY.

A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T. AGAIN.

I THINK I PERSONALLY KEEP GOING BACK TO YES IT'S STILL A VEY CRAZY TIME. WE DON'T WITH CORONAVIRUS BUT WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY HERE TOT LEAST TRY WHERE A LOT OF OTR PEOPLE DON'T. THE QUEEN CON SEATER COUPLE WEES AGO DOWNTOWN WAS PACKED. IT WAS A SOLD OUT PERFORMANCE.

I THINK YOU MADE 8,000 -- -- YOU MENTIONED 10,000 A MONTH FOR PFM. WOULD THAT ALLOW YOU TO SHORE UP STAFFING AND WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW AND DO YOU HAVE A

PLAN FOR THAT? >> LIT ALLOW FOR STAFFING COSTS.

ONCE WE GET BACK TO A MORE NORML LIFESTYLE.

I SAY NORMAL. WHO KNOWS WHAT THAT'S GOING TO .

THE INCREASE OF STAFFING IS SOMETHING THAT IS OF CONCERN FOR ME. WE NEED THAT.

WE NEED SUPPORT FOR THIS YEAR. PFM IS GOING TO PROVIDE THAT.

I'M GRATEFUL FOR THAT. >> THEY ARE PROFESSIONALS.

THEY WILL BE ABLE TO HELP US WIH THAT.

THE MOST IMPORTANT COMMISSION IS THAT BOX OFFICE MANAGER

[00:35:03]

>> SO WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME IS RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THEIR SHOS ARE COMING UP HERE IN ANOTHR MONTH OR SO.

I HEARD CONCERNS FROM CITIZENS ABOUT THE CHALLENGES THAT TY ARE HAVING WITH TICKET SALE. THAT'S HAPPENING NOW.

AND WE ARE HAVING CHALLENGES WIH PEOPLE PURCHASING TICKETS FR SHOW RIGHT NOW. AND WE HAVE STAFF SHORTAGES DOWN THERE. THAT'S OF A CONCERN TO ME.

THAT SEND ASSISTANCE SIGNAL THAI WASN'T HAPPY TO RECEIVE THAT PHONE CALL. I CAN TELL YOU BUT WHAT IS SIGNALING TO ME NOW IS I HAE BEEN WATCHING THE PAST TWO SATURDAYS. IF WE WANT TO MAKE MONEY AND SEL

TICKETS. >> SOMEBODY SAID WHY CAN'T YOU SELL TICKETS ONLINE. THERE HAS TO BE A CUSTOMER SERVE TO PRINT THE TICKETS AND ANSWER QUESTIONS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. THAT'S A CONCERN AS WELL.

HOW WE ENGAGE IN OUR COMMUNITY. NOT WEST PALM.

THIS IS FORT PIERCE. PRAOEPL HERE ARE ACCUSTOMED TO A COUPLE THINGS. PEOPLE WHO PATRON.IZE THESE VENS VENUES. WE HAVE TO MEET THEM THERE AND E PREPARED FOR THEM SO WE CAN MAKE THOSE TWO SENDS MEET.

>> >> COMMISSIONER CORONA.

>> IN 2019 WE HAD MOMENTUM BUILDING IN.

SUNRISE. THINGS WERE STARTING TO HAPPEN.

>> IN 20 WE HAD CORONAVIRUS AND EVERYTHING STOPPED.

NOW WE GOT BACK IN THIS MODE WHE WE HIT THE PAUSE BUTTON.

THE -- WE HAVE HIT THE PAUSE BUTTON.

>> BECAUSE OF THAT, WE DON'T HAE THE PROPER COMMUNICATION, TE PROPER FUNDING, THE PROPER SOURCES MOVING OUT IN A WAY THAT SHOWS AN ACTIVE ON GOIG BUSINESS.

AND THAT'S PROBABLY THE BIGGEST REASON WHY WE ARE AT WHERE E ARE AT RIGHT NOW. HALF THE COMMISSION HASN'T COMEP WITH THE CONSENSUS SOMEWHERE WHERE WE WILL GO YET.

WE WILL TRY TO WORK THROUGH ALL THAT.

>> IF WE TOOK A POLL NOW YOU WIL FIND FOUR DIFFERENT IDEAS.

SO THERE'S NO WONDER THAT WE ARE HALF HAZARD AND WE ARE LACKG FOCUS. WE NEED TO GET THAT TOGETHER AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN ACCOMPLISH THAT IN THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS. WE KNOW THAT IT'S TIME TO START PLANNING FOR NEXT YEAR. IF YOU HAD -- WE HAVE MONEY IN E TILL. WE WERE SUCCESSFUL WITH THE GRANTS. -- ALL WE NEED TO NOW DO IS NOW SAY LET'S MOVE MAKE THE COMMITMENT, MOVE FORWARD.

LET'S PLUG IN THE DOLLARS WHERET NEEDS TO BE.

YOU HIRE WHO YOU NEED TO HAVE. WE FIX THE PROBLEMS WHO WE ARE HEARING FROM OUR COMMUNITY. WE GO ON WITH BUSINESS.

WE GO ON THAT THREE YEAR PLAN AD 3-5 YEAR PLAN AND WE MAKE SE THAT WE'RE DOING EVERYTHINGE POSSIBLY CAN TO MAKE THIS SUCCESSFUL. WE ARE WE ARE NOT STARTING FROM SCRATCH, FOLKS. THIS HAPPENED 20 YEARS AGO.

THE THEATER IS IN ITS 99TH YEAR.

1922. >> IT SAID 22 YEARS.

>> IT'S ONLY ONE YEAR' DIFFERENCE.

>> YOU SHOULD HAVE THIS HIGH ON YOUR LIST RIGHT NOW.

>>> SIT HIGH IN MY LIST. I'M LOOKING FOR SOMETHING FROM

1922. >> ALL RIGHT.

SO THIS IS WHERE IT'S ALL AT. IN OUR PERCEPTIONS NEED TO BE BK WITH FACT. WE NEED TO MOVE FORWARD.

WE NEED TO COME UP WITH ONE IDEA AND MOVE FORWARD.

WITHOUT IT, WE ARE GOING TO BE L OVER THE PAGE AND WE WILL BE DOING THE SAME THING WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW.

YOU CAN TELL I'M A LITTLE PASSIONATE ABOUT IT.

I GOT TO SIT ON THE SUNRISE ADVISORY BOARD.

>> THERE WAS A 50/50 MOVE ON HOW THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO TURN

OUT. >> THIS WASN'T SUPPOSED TO

[00:40:02]

>> YES. >> IT'S 100%.

>> AND BELIEVE ME, THE BEST THIG I EVER DID WAS RESIGN AS CHAIRMAN AND GIVE IT -- BECAUSE SHE'S JUST TAKING

OFF. >> THAT WAS MY CONTRIBUTION.

>> I KICKBACK AND I LISTEN TO TE FOLKS AND THEIR DYNAMIC FOLS THAT ABSOLUTELY HAVE SKIN IN THE GAME AND ARE MOVING THIS THING FORWARD. IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS WE NEED TO BE ALL IN OR NOT. THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGO

MOVE THIS FORWARD. >> THE FIRST THING WE NEED DO IS ALL OF US BE MEMBERS. I THINK I AM.

>> I AM RECRUITING TO BE MEMBERS OF THE SUNRISE NAP SHOWS

SUPPORT. >> YOU HAVE A FROWN ON YOUR FAC.

>> I'M CONFUSED. I THOUGHT WE WERE ALL IN.

>> WE HAVE A PLAN. THE SHUTTERS VENUES GRANT.

I'M LOST. I THINK WE ARE ALL MOVING FORWARD. THERE'S NO WAIVERING HERE AS FAR AS LET'S MOVE THE PLAN AND T IT MOVING.

WE NEED TO HIRE CUSTOMER SERVICE NOW FROM WHAT I'M HEARING.

WE NEED SOMEBODY DOWN THERE TAKG TICKETS.

IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY, LET'S ACT ON GETTING THAT PERSON IN THERE SO WE CAN SELL ITS THT ARE ON THE SHOW RIGHT NOW.

>> I HAVE NOT HEARD NEXT YEAR'S PLAN.

>> WELL THAT'S THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

>> WE HEARD NEXT YEAR'S PLAN INA WAY.

>> WE DIDN'T HEAR IT THOUGH. THAT'S THEN GETTING -- AND GETTG WITH THE SHOWS IS AND SEGMES AND WE HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT

THAT YET. >> WE WILL NEED PROBABLY SOME PERIODIC REPORTS AND SO WE N STAY ON TOP OF THIS.

>> IT'S FAIR ENOUGH. >> I THINK THEY TOLD US AS MUCH.

>> I COMMIT AS IT'S SIGNED AND SIGN BID ACT 1ST.

WE HOPE TO COME BACK BY TEND OF JANUARY WITH THE FIVE YEAR

PLAN. >> OKAY.

>>> >> COMMISSIONER JAY JOHNSON.

>> THAT SOUNDS GREAT. >> THAT'S WHERE I AM AND COMMISSIONER -- I AGREE WITH YOU 100%.

>> IF WE OH ON DIRECTION AND WE NEED TO MAKE A DECISION TO MAKE A MOVE THEN I'M GOOD WH MAKING THE DECISION TO MAKE THE MOVE AND TO DO EXACTLY WHAT YOU JUST JUST SAID IS O GET THE CONSULTANT ON BOARD. MOVE THEM FORWARD WITH ACTION ITEMS AND HAVE A PLAN FAR DY CERTAIN WHATEVER THAT DATE S FOR YOU ALL WITH OUR ADVISOY BOARD AND WITH STAFF TO BRIG A STRATEGIC PLAN FORWARD. AND WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THAT. OTHER FACTOR AND I WANT TO GO BK TO IT AND I WILL NOT HARP ON IT IN A NEGATIVE WAY BUT LIT COME OFF NEGATIVE IS THE FOUNDATION PART.

WE HAD FORCE PIERCE PAL. IT'S -- IT IS THE SHERIFF DEPARTMENT OF ST. LUCY COUNTY.

MY WORDS ARE THE NAME WAS REMOVE MOVED AND NOW ALL OF A SUDDN IT'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT WIH ANOTHER ENTITY OUTSIDE OF TE CITY OF FORT PIERCE SO IT'S CONFUSING.

COMMON SENSE SAYS IT'S CONFUSIN. >> SO WHEN I HAVE A FOUNDATION I TRY TO GO TO THE WEB-SITE BT IT'S NOT WORKING.

IT MIGHT BE MY INTERNET CONNECTION.

IT'S CONFUSING TO FOLKS TO SAY E HAVE A THEATER FOUNDATION BT WE ONLY DRIVE FOCUS TO CHILDREN'S PROGRAMMING.

THAT'S CONFUSING FOR ME. THAT'S JUST WRONG.

SO IF ANYONE IS OUT THERE THAT'S ON THE FOUNDATION THAT CAN MAKE AN INFLUENCE AND MAKE N IMPACT TO ENGAGE WITH STAFF AND THE ADVISORY BOARD LIKE YOU'VE COMMITTED I HOPE WE N MAKE THAT EFFORT. LET'S NOT MAKE IT CONFUSING FOR FOLKS WITH A DIFFERENT COMMISSION AND DIFFERENT OBJECTIVE. FROM AROUND THE UNITED STATES WH MY EXPERIENCE. WHEN YOU HAVE A FOUNDATION IT'SO

SUPPORT THE ORGANIZATION 10. >> I WANTED TO SAY IT FROM THIS MORNING -- BECAUSE THAT'S AN IMPORTANT PART OF THIS ENTIE THING. AND WE HAVE TO BE UNIFIED.

THE COMMISSIONER AND I SPOKE IT VERY WELL.

WE HAVE TO BE FOCUSED IN EVERY STEP HAS TO BE TAKEN FORWARD WITH INTENT, WITH PURPOSE, WITH THE KR*EUF DRIVEN MIND SET THAT WE'RE IN IT TO WINT TOGETHER AND WE ARE GOING TO DO IT TOGETHER AND I THINK YOU'RE HEARING THAT FROM UP HERE. WE ARE JUST HEARING THE OTHER SE AND GETTING THE E-MAILS ALWS FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS NOT JUST THE LAST SIX MONTHS BUT FIVE YEARS FROM ME THAT SAYS

[00:45:04]

>> SO I APPRECIATE THE COMMITMENT.

THOSE ARE MY WORDS TO IT. THOSE ARE MY COMMITMENTS TO YOU.

>> I PROBABLY BEEN ONE OF THE BIGGER CRITICS AND I'M OKAY WITH THAT. AT THE SAME TIME.

30,000 VIEW SAYS JAREMIAH YOU HE TO BE CRITICAL.

YOU HAVE TO BE A CRITIC. MY JOB IS TO BE A CRITIC AND TOE MINDFUL OF THE MONEYS THAT E BEING BROUGHT IN BY THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK.

THANK YOU FOR THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK. AND THINK FOR STICKING WITH IT D MOVING FORWARD AS MUCH AS YU CAN EVERY SINGLE DAY.

BECAUSE IT IS. IT'S AN EFFORT THAT CAN'T SIT IDLE. IT CAN'T.

SO I APPRECIATE THE ENERGY AND ENTHUSIASM.

THANK YOU. >> I THINK WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE. I LOVE YOUR ENTHUSE ENTHUSIASM.

I BELIEVE THAT IS WHAT TINKER BL SAID IN PETER PAN SO MAGIC

THINGS HAPPEN. >> WE HAVE HAD PEOPLE IN YOUR POSITION THAT DO BELIEVE THT ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT IT AS E COMMISSIONER SAID. I THINK THIS COMMISSION NEEDS TO BE SUPPORTED IF WE'RE GOING DOWN THIS ROAD.

I PERSONALLY WANT TO OFFER MY HP IN ANYWAY I CAN.

I WANT TO BE SUPPORTIVE. I WANTED TO SUCCEED.

I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE INVESTED IN THIS.

AND HAVE INVESTED IN THE PAST EMOTIONALLY AND SOME FINANCIALLY. SO, AND IT IS HISTORIC.

AND IN 1923 I WANT TO BE ABLE TO CELEBRATE THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SUNRISE HERE IN THIS CITY.

1923, I SAID, RIGHT? I CAN'T BELIEVE I SAID THAT.

BUT I DID. >>

>> I WAS THERE. ANYWAY.

THAT CONTINUES TO TRACKING. MAYBE SOMEBODY WHO KNOWS ABOUT TECHNOLOGY AND HELP YOU FIGE THAT OUT.

>> IT'S NOT A CRITICISM BUT IT S SOMETHING THAT I KNOW ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I HAVE OBSERVED IS PEOPLE REALLY FL RESPECTED IF THEY GET A CALL BACK OR THEY GET AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT YOU KNOW THAT THEY CALL AND WHEN I GT E-MAILS I TRY TO RESPOND TO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM EVN IF I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER BECAUSE I WANT THEM TO KNOW THAT I READ THE E-MAIL AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT. I DON'T ALWAYS AGREE BUT BEFOREI WRITE TO MAYOR IS VERY FRUSTRATING.

YOU DON'T KNOW IF IT GOT LOST. THEY ARE JUST NOT PAYING ATTENTION. YOU JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENED. YOU DON'T WANT TO PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

EVENTUALLY THAT'S WHAT YOU DO. IF YOU FIGURED OUT THAT ONE SIME THING THAT WOULD REALLY HELP WITH GOING FORWARD.

>> I THINK YOU HEAR WHAT THE COMMISSIONER IS READY TO GO FORWARD OR HAVE ANYTHING THT YOU WANT TO SAY.

IT DETAILS FPR. FUNDS. . THE ASSESSMENT.

THEY WERE BOOKED AND SCHEDULED D SHARON WILL BE PREPARING FOR THEIR STAFF OF HAVE A SUCCESSFUL SEASON.

WE NEED PFM TO ENGAGE AND BELIEE IN THE CONVERSATION WITH THM

[00:50:02]

>> WHEN WILL THAT HAPPEN? >> SEPTEMBER 20TH.

>> >> IT'S OKAY.

I WANT TO KEEP UP MY ENTHUSIASMO I'M DEPENDING YOUNG TO HELPS DO THAT. AND COMMISSIONER PERONA.

ALSO. ANYTHING ELSE ON THIS SUBJECT?

>> ALREADY. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOU FOR YOR HARD WORK.

>> THANK YOU. >> THEY'RE COMING BACK.

THAT'S A GOOD THING. YOU'RE EXCUSED.

>> HOW MUCH IS THE MEMBERSHIP TO THE THEATER.

>> IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE PAID IT.

I THINK IT'S $60. NOT MUCH.

I JUST PAID MY -- >> GOOD JOB, GUYS.

THAT THAT'S IT? >> ARE WE READY FOR THE NEXT

ITEM? >> YOU CAN TAKE YOUR CONVERSATIS OUTSIDE. THANK YOU.

[b. Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC) Initiatives]

INITIATIVE. >>> MADAME MAYOR.

WE DO HAVE OUR DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND WE ALSO HAVE A SPECIAL GUEST DR. DELANY IS GOING TO GIVE US AN OVER VIW OF THE MANY CONSULTING SERVICES THAT ARE BEING ASKD OF HER TO HELP US NAVIGATE THROUGH OUR DEVELOPMENT AND ALSO OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH FPUA.

>> THANK YOU. >> WHO GOES FIRST?

>>> I JUST WANT TO LET YOU ALL KNOW I KNEE WE HAD DR. KIM DELANEY HERE A TKPHUPLER OF TIMES TALKING ABOUT THE AGEY IS GOING TO HELP US WITH. THIS MORNING SHE WILL DIVE IN DEEPER WITH THE LOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THE WASTE WAR TREATMENT PLANT AND IN THE D TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR ANNEXAION AND LOCAL AGREEMET THAT WE ALSO ASKED TREASURE COAST TO HELP US WITH WITH REGARD TO THE COUNTY AND THE

CITY'S COLLABORATION. >> OKAY.

TWO BIG SUBJECTS. WELCOME.

>> WELL, GOOD MORNING AND THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMEN

TO SPEAK WITH THE COMMISSIO. >> THIS IS A FOLLOW UP TO SOME PRIOR PRESENTATIONS WE'VE ME AFTER HAVING A CHANCE TO WOK IN GREAT DETAIL WITH THE STF AND ALSO COORDINATE IN ADVAE WITH THE FPUA STAFF AS WELL. IT'S A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT THAT ALWAYS TAKES MORE COORDINATN NOT LESS.

SO WE TRY TO GET THE PROJECT IN MOTION.

THE FIRST TASK OVER TIME BETWEEN THE CITY AND FPUA.

IT REALLY SEEMS THAT IS THE RIGT FIRST STEP RELATED TO SOUTH BEACH. SO TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BREAKDOWN MANY PIECES OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CIY AND THE PUA AND THE COME OWN COMPONENT PARTS.

WORK THROUGH EACH OF THOSE AND BRING TO YOU IN A SERIES OF PUBLIC DISCUSSIONS A TERM SHEET THAT DETAILS THE COMPONENT IN DRAFT AND FINAL FORM.

THAT PROCESS IS GOING TO TYKE A COUPLE MONTHS AND THERE'S A DRAFT INNER LOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND PRESSUE COAST THAT DETAILS A SCHEDUE AND THE COMPONENT OF THOSE TASKS. WHAT WE WOULD SUGGEST TO YOU -- THE PROCESS HAS WORKED WELLN OTHER COMMUNITIES WHEN WE WK ON PROJECTS LIKE THIS IS A CHANCE FOR US TO BEGIN WITH PUBLIC OUTREACH. TO BEGIN DUE DILIGENCE TO WALK THROUGH ALL THE VARIOUS DOCUMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH HW THE FPUA DOES BUSINESS WITH RESPECT TO THE WATER TREATMT PLANT. HOW IT DOES BUSINESS WITH THE CITY. HOW THE CITY DOES BUSINESS WITH FPUA AND THE CITY'S OWN BACKGROUND DOCUMENTS.

WE WOULD SUGGEST PART OF THAT DE DILIGENCE AND BACKGROUND

[00:55:03]

SO COUNCIL UTILIZES KEITH DAVIS WHO IS AN ATTORNEY WHO HAS 0 YEARS AMONG HIS STAFF. 100 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND AGENCIES.

>> SO WE WOULD UTILIZE THAT LEGL ASSISTANCE TO HELP US BE SUE THAT WE UNDERSTAND THE LEGAL RESPONSIBILITIES THAT EMPOWS THAT ARE AFFORDED TO BOTH ENTITIES.

THAT SEEMS TO BE A CONTINUING POINT OF DISCUSSION AND SO THAT OBJECTIVE EVALUATION SEEMS TO BE BENEFICIAL AND O ALSO REACH OUT TO LOOK AT OTHER PEER AGENCIES TO UNDERSTAND HOW THEY HANDLE RELOCATION PROJECTS LIKE THIS. THAT WILL ALL BE PART OF THE DUE

DILIGENCE. >> WE THINK THAT WILL TAKE ABOUT

TWO MONTH. >> IF WE ARE ABLE TO HIT THE GROUND RUNNING NAP PORTION F THE PROJECT WOULD INCLUDE INDIVIDUAL MEETINGS WITH THE STAFF FOR BOTH THE CITY AND FPUA. WE FIND WE WE FIND WE GET BETTER INFORMATION TO UNDERSTAND TE PERSPECTIVES AND BRING FOLKS TOGETHER TO WORK THROUGH THE DETAILS COLLABORATIVELY.

THAN PROCESS WILL TAKE 6-8 WEEK. >> A SERIES OF STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS. FPUA, COUNTY STAFF.

STAFFS WITH BOTH AGENCIES. UNDERSTAND DETAILS.

PURE REVIEW AS NEEDED TO UNDERSTAND AS OTHER ENTITY HAVES WORKED THROUGH THESE TYPES OF PROCESS AND DEVELOA TERM SHEET BRING BACK TO BOH BOARDS END PENT DISCUSSIONLY AND THAT TERM SHEET WILL BRG US A CHANCE TO DEVELOP THE

INNER LOCAL AGREEMENT. >> THAT WOULD BE JANUARY FOR OUR FIRST READING AND PROBABLY FEBRUARY OR SO FOR THE SECOD READING. THAT'S A REASONABLE TIME FRAME NAP'S A COMPLEX CHALLENGE AT HAND.

IT HAS SIGNIFICANT IMPACT TO BOH ENTITIES.

WE WANT TO BE SURE THAT WE REALY UNDERSTAND ALL THE PIECES TT WE CARRY THEM. THROUGH THAT AGREEMENT.

>> SO THAT'S A DETAILED PROPOSAL THAT'S IN YOUR AGENDA PACKAGE. WE HAD A CHANCE TO MEET WITH STF ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS TO WORK THROUGH AND REFINE THAT APPROACH. WE'VE ALSO HAD A CHANCE TO CHAT

WITH FPUA STAFF. >> .

THE COUNCIL -- AND THE COUNCIL ATTORNEY WITH SAVING US IN E LEGAL REVIEW. IF YOU'D PREFER IT'S LARGER ONE.

>>> THIS IS VERY INTERESTING TOE BECAUSE YOU MADE A PRESENTATION TO US A FEW MEETINGS BACK ABOUT SOUTH BEACH AND ABOUT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

SO, THAT'S THE PIECE THAT I SEE ONE OF THE MAJOR PIECES.

ONE OF THE MAJOR REASONS FOR THS IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY WANTS THIS WASTE WATER TREATMNT PLANT HAS BEEN MOVED WHICH IS WONDERFUL TO BE ABLE TO BE TALKING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THE IT JUST APPROVED A DESIGN

BUILD. >> IT STARTED AND AND HOPEFULLY THE FIRST AROUND SPRING OR APRIL OR SOMETHING LIKE THA.

>> I KNOW THAT A NUMBER OF TIMES IT HAS BEEN ASKED FOR PARTICULARLY IN CONVERSATIOS WITH MR. TOM -- I WANT TO KW WHAT THE CITY SKIN IN THE GE IS FOR THIS.

I WANT TO KNOW WHAT PARTICIPATIN THEY HAVE.

IN TERMS OF THAT. DO YOU SEE THAT FLUSHING THAT

OUT? >> THAT IS WHAT YOU CONSIDER THE WORK TO BE. WHAT IS THE CITY'S SKIN IN THE GAME. WHAT ARE THE CITY'S

[01:00:01]

RESPONSIBILITIES? >> WHAT ARE THE REVENUES THAT CE

BACK TO BOTH ENTITIES? >> WHAT ARE THE COMPLICATIONS THERE? AND IN TERMS OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT THERE. THAT IS INFORMATION THAT I THINK YOU NEED HAVE. WE WOULD SUGGEST AS A COUNCIL.

IT'S A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT ASSET THAT THE REDEVELOPMENT OF SOUTH BEACH AND THE REDEVELOPMENT OF WATER TREATMENT PLAN. THAT'S THE LARGER OUTCOME.

THIS IS WHAT PIECE OF THE PUTTED -Z.

FLUSHING OUT HOW THIS PIECE FITS IS AN IMPORTANT FIRST PIECE AND THEN WITH SOME PROGRESSN THE WATER TREATMENT PLAN AND IF I CAN ZOOM OUT FAR MOMEN. EVERY ORGANIZATION HAS A FINE AMOUNT OF ENERGY. KIT PUT ON THE THING IT UNDERTAKES. I HAD A CHANCE TO WALK THROUGH E CITY'S TRA STRATEGIC PLAN AD GET BETTER PREPARED FOR MY CONVERSATION THIS MORNING. I WAS EXHAUSTED.

>> WE ARE TOO. >> IT'S REMARKABLE HOW MUCH THE CITY HAS UNDER WAY AND EVERY CITY IN THE REGION IS IN MOTION IN WAYS THAT THEY HAVEN'T BEEN PREVIOUSLY.

THE PACE OF DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY AND ALL THAT GOES ALONG WITH IT IS REMARKABLE. AND ALL THE IMPACTS IT HAS ON WK FORCE HOUSING AND ON CITY INFRASTRUCTURE AND PROVIDING CITY SERVICES AND MAINTAINIG LEVELS OF SERVICE AND TRYING TO HOLD BUDGETS IN A POSTURE AND THEY ARE COMFORTABLE.

>> SO THE PRESSURE ON LOCAL IS TREMENDOUS.

>> IN READING YOUR STRATEGIC PLN AND TRYING TO ABSORB ALL THT THE CITY IS TRYING TO UNDERTAKE AT THE SAME TIME.

>> EVERY ORGANIZATION HAS A FINE CAPACITY.

YOU CAN ONLY DO SO MANY THINGS WELL.

SO IN TALKING WITH YOUR STAFF I THINK THE CONCLUSION THAT WE CAME TO COLLECTIVELY WAS YOU KIND OF HAVE TO FIGURE OUT E THING AT A TIME WITH RESPECT TO SOUTH BEACH.

THAOR THERE'S A LOT OF PRESSUREN YOU FOR COMMUNITY TO DEAL WH ALL THE ISSUES THAT ARE RELATIVE TO SOUTH BEACH.

>> THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT ISA 900-POUND GUERRILLA IN THE ROOM. GET WORKING ON THAT PIECE AND AL THE COMPLEXITY THAT COMES ALONG WITH THAT AND GET THAT PIECE MOVING FORD MOVING TOWARDS RESOLUTION UNDER AN AGREEMENT AND WITH GOOD PROG REGSZ ON THAT.

I WORK WITH THE ORIGINAL PLANNIG COUNCIL.

I ALWAYS HAVE TO BE AN OPTIMIST. >> .

THAT'S WHAT WE'VE DONE WITH THE HISTORY OF OUR AGENCY.

SO WITH GOOD PROGRESS IN THE WAR YOU THEN WE WOULD SUGGEST HAVE E CAPACITY AS A CITY AND AS A STAFF TO GET MOVING ON THE NEXT BIG PIECE AND THE NEXT CHALLENGE THAT'S GOING TO TE A LOT OF ENERGY AND THAT IS WILL YOU HAVE THE REGULATIOS AND IT OVER LAYS DOWN FOR SUBACROMIAL.

THERE'S INCON SIS STANDSLY WITH WHAT WE KNOW BETWEEN THE MASTER PLAN. IN CHATTING WITH YOUR STAFF IF U WILL WHAT WE SUGGEST IS -- E WOULD LOVE TO ASSIST YOU OR ANY ENTITY BUT WHATEVER YOUO AS AN ORGANIZATION MOVING ON THOSE TERMS REL RELEVANT TO THE WATER TREATMENT PLAN AND AFTER THAT, IF I MAY, TASK O EARTH WITH THE COUNCIL ASSISTANCE OR WHOM EVER ASSISTANCE THAT YOU WANT TO OUTLIZE AS A CITY START WORKING ON THE OVER LAY ZONE AND THE AMENDMENTS THAT YOU NEED TO ADDRESS TO RECALIBRE THOSE REGULATIONS WITH RESPT TO YOUR EXPECTATIONS.

YOUR EXPECTATIONS ARE DEFINED IN THE CITIZEN' MASTER PLAN BUT YOUR RULES AND REGULATIONS AREN'T CONSISTENT THERE.

>> WHAT WE WOULD SUGGEST. I JUST HAPPENED TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO DROP IN YOUR STRATEGIC PLAN.

JUST TAKE A DEEP BREATH. THAT IS A LOT OF WORK FOR A CITY THAT HAS A FAIRLY SMALL STAF SPECIALERRIVE TO OTHER COMMUNITIES THAT WE WORK WIH AND PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO.

>> SO WITH THAT SAID. >> ONE OF THOSE GOAL, GOAL NUMBR 13 IS THE SUBACROMIAL OVER Y PROCESS AND DIRECTION IF YOU WILL. WE WOULD SUGGEST THAT WATER TREATMENT PLANT IS THE FIRST PIECE OF THAT AND THEN THE SECOND PIECE OF THAT UNDERSTANDING THE UPDATED FA

[01:05:02]

AS YOU MENTIONED, INCREASING PRIVATE SECTOR INVESTMENT AD ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. AS THE DRIER AND AS TO WHY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCIES ARE N PLACE.

ACCOMPLISHING THAT GOAL AND ALSO THE DIRECTIONS IN THAT PLANO FOR THE FPRA TO WORK WITH TE CITY TO RATIONALIZE YOUR PLANNING YOUR REGULATORY DOCUMENTS.

COME PLAN AND ZONING. THERE'S OTHERS THAT MIGHT HAVE E RELATIONSHIP TO WHAT HAPPENS ON SOUTH BEACH.

WE WOULD THEN SUGGEST THE PROCES THAT AGAIN WOULD BEGIN AFTER THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT AD OUR LOCAL AGREEMENT IS UNDER WAY. SO, PRESUMING WE HAVE AT LEAST PROGRESS. I WILL SAY PROGRESS IN SOME CAPACITY WITH THE WATER TREATMENT PLAN.

THEN ALLOWING YOUR COMMUNITY TO BEGIN THEN THE PROCESS OF GETTING INTO THE NEXT TRICKY SUBJECT WHICH IS THE OVER LY ZONE. WHATEVER ELSE IS NECESSARY TO SYNCHRONIZE THE VISION, THE EXPECTATIONS AND YOUR REGULATIONS. THIS SCHEDULE LAYS OUT THAT APPROACH WHICH WOULD BE STARTING IN THE FOURTH QUARR WITH THE FIRST STPHEP ANY PROPER PLANNING PROCESS.

DUE DILIGENCE AND BACKGROUND ASSESSMENT.

IDENTIFY WHICH ARE THE PIECES IN PLAY.

THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PAR SALS THAT ARE SIGNIFICANT REDEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES. SOME ARE PRIVATELY OWNED.

SOME ARE PUBLICLY OWNED. UNDERSTANDING THOSE PIECES.

HOW THEY FIT IN TO THE ECONOMIC PROFILE OF THE CITY.

UNDER UNDERTAKING PUBLIC OUT REACH.

MAYBE IN THE FIRST QUARTER. PUBLIC STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS WITH YOU AS BOARD MEMBERS. WITH REALTORS.

BROKER, DEVELOPMENT INDUSTRY REPRESENTATIVES.

CITIZENS. COMMUNITY GROUPS.

UNDERSTAND THOSE SPECIALERRIVES. THE COUNTY OWNS SOME LAND THAT MIGHT BE IN THE MIX. THEIR ENTITY IS OPERATING.

MUSEUMS AND OTHER USES ON THOSE LANDS THAT MIGHT BE IN THE MIX. SO CONDUCTING THE STAKE HOLDER MEETINGS THAT ARE NECESSARYO UNDERSTAND THE BACKGROUND AD EXPECTATIONS. UNDERSTANDING WHATEVER ARE APPROPRIATE. WE WOULD SUGGEST AS A PUBLIC AGENCY. WE ALWAYS FEEL AS THOUGH YOU HAE MORE INFORMED DECISION-MAKIG OPPORTUNITIES WHERE THERE'SA CHANCE TO HAVE PROPER PUBLIC OUT REACH IN THE FORM OF INTERVIEWS, STAKE HOLDER INTERVIEWS AND COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS AND THAT IS SOMETHING THE COUNCIL IS WEL EXPERIENCED IN AND THAT'S TE NATURE OF OUR WORK AS AN AGENCY TO ADD THAT TRANSPARENCY SO WHEN YOU GET TO THE POINT WHERE YOU HAVE DECISIONS TO BE MADE.

YOU CAN FEEL CONFIDENT THAT THEY ARE THOROUGHLY VETTED AND TY ARE WELL INFORMED. SO YOU HAVE THAT INFORMATION.

CITY COMMISSION PRESENTATIONS TAKING PLACE.

PROBABLY IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF NEXT YEAR AND HAVING AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT THE DISPOSITION AND RELOCATION F THOSE REDEVELOPMENT SITES. THIS WOULD EUB INCLUDE A STRATEY

FOR HOW TO UNDERTAKE THAT. >> AT THE COMMISSION TO DESIRE.

>> WE CAN ALSO INCLUDE A FINANCL ANALYSIS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT LEVEL OF REDEVELOPMENT IS REALLY NECESSARY TO JUSTIFY THE REJUSTIFICATION OF A USE OR COMPEL AN OWN TORE

REDEVELOP A SITE. >> WE HAVE BEEN INCLUDING THAT TYPE OF INFORMATION THAT WEO FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.

IF YOU ARE AT THE TABLE AT A PUBLIC/PRIVATE AGREEMENT.

YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE PRIVE SIDE OF THEATER FOUNDATION

KWAEUGS. >> TO GIVE YOU MORE INFORMATION

WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR DECISION. >> SO, THEN, FOLLOWING THAT WORK WE WOULD SUGGEST IN THE FIRT QUARTER MAYBE IN THE SECOND QUARTER. BRINGING FORWARD THE RECOMMENDED AMENDMENTS OVER LAY ZONE OR ZONING AMENDMENTS OF WHATEVR

FORM. >> AS WELL AS THOSE STRATEGIES O RELOCATE USES TO OPEN UP REDEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY.

>> THAT IS A PERSON WE HAVE TALD TO WITH OUR STAFF AS WELL.

>> YOUR STAFF FELT AS THOUGH SEQUENCING THOSE TWO ACTIVITIES MADE SENSE FROM A STAFF CAPACITY STANDPOINT FM A COMMUNITY STANDPOINT. THERE'S A LOT TO DO.

AND BRING YOU THROUGH CONCLUSION OF THOSE PROCESSES NEXT YEA.

AND SO THAT'S AN OVER VIEW OF THOSE TWO APPROACHES.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS IF THERE ARE ANY IN WORKING WIH YOUR STAFF. THE FIRST AGREEMENT TO ENGAGE TE PLANNING COUNCIL IS IN YOUR AAGENDA PACKAGE FOR TODAY.

STAFF SERGEANTED MAYBE THAT'S APPROPRIATE FOR YOUR NEXT ON MONDAY SO YOU CAN GET STARTED.

>> WE HAVE BEGUN SOMERING *R EAY COORDINATION TIME.

AS A SERVICE WE WANT TO TRY TO FACILITATE THOSE DIALOGS SO

THEY WERE IN PROCESS. >> SO THOSE ARE TWO PIECES OF WORK. THE OTHER ONE THAT'S RELATED TO

[01:10:02]

WITH RESPECT TO ANNEXATION. >> SO AT YOUR STAFF'S REQUEST.

AS YOU KNOW WE HAD A CHANCE TO PRESENT AN OVER VIEW OF ANNEXATION ISSUES AT THE JOT CITY COUNTY MEETING A COUPLE MONTHS AGO. WE HAD A FURTHER OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH YOUR STAFF AND TE COUNTY'S STAFF AT A PLANNING LEVEL. TRYING TO AOEU IDENTIFY ANNEXSATION ISSUES AS PART F OUR REGULATION COORDINATION WORK. WE HAVE MET WITH THE COUNTY ON L ISSUES RELATED TO THE COUNT. IT'S ONE OF THE ISSUES THE COUNY ADMINISTRATOR NOTED AND EXPRESSED THE STRONG SUPPORT AT A COUNTY STAFF LEVEL FORA PROCESS TO BE CARRIED OUT BY THE COUNCIL OR WHOM EVER TO WORK THROUGH AN ANNEXATION AGREEMENT. PARTICULAR ISSUES.

ROADWAY DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE.

DELIVERY OF SERVICES LIKE GARBAE COLLECTION.

MAYBE WATER SEWER COMES INTO THAT.

THERE MAY BE OTHER ISSUES THAT COME TO THE SURFACE.

WERE IN A DIALOG WITH YOUR STAFF AND THE COUNTY STAFF TRYINGO UNDERSTAND THOSE ISSUES. WE'RE HAPPY TO BRING FORWARD AN AGREEMENT AT THE COMMISSIONS DIRECTION TO PICK THAT BALLP AND START ROLLING. TOM THE COUNCIL'S EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND I THEREBY THRED STAFF ON ANNEXATION ISSUES.

I WOULD BE THE LEAD STAFF ON SUBACROMIAL OVER LAY.

I SO I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT. I WANT TO CALL THAT OUT.

I NEED THE POINT OF CONTACT FOR THE MOST PART.

YOU SEE ME OFTEN AT THE PODIUM F YOU WANT THE DOWN STOEUL ASSIST ALONG WITH OUR OTHER TEAM MEMBERS.

I WANT TO BRING THAT ISSUE TO TE SURFACE AS WELL BECAUSE AGAN IN REEDING YOUR STRATEGIC PN WHEN I RECOVERED I WANTED TO

BE SURE THAT ADDRESSED THAT. >> HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS OF

THE BOARD IF YOU WANT. >> OKAY.

ANY QUESTIONS. ANY DISCUSSION?

>> THERE ARE A FEW THINGS. >> I'M GLAD WE DIDN'T LET THE

ANNEXXTION ONE THAT DAY. >> IT WENT POOF.

>> . I'M STILL IN POOF LAND.

>> THANK YOU FOR FOCUSING IN ON THIS AND BRINGING IT FORWAR.

BECAUSE WE DO NEED AND THIS IS N OUR STRATEGIC PLAN.

THE STRATEGY IN PLAN AND PLAN IN PLACE.

HOW WE ARE GOING TO ACCOMPLISH E MISSION OF DEFINING OUR BOUNDARIES AND SQUARING THEM OFF AND WHAT I SAID IN THAT MEETING THAT DAY WAS HOW DOE TRANSFER THE ROADS.

AND COUNTY THANK YOU VERY MUCH WE'LL TAKE IT BUT WHAT WE WT WE WE DONE TO IT IN THE LAST 25 YEARS.

PLEASE TELL US THAT. THERE'S A FEW COMMISSIONERS THAT ARE ADAMANT THAT IF WE ANNEX THAT WE TAKE OVER EVERYTHING AND MY QUESTION IS. THAT'S PART OF MY ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF WHY WOULD WE ANX PROPERTIES.

IF THE ROAD IS FAILING. WHY DO WE WANT TO TAKE OVER THE ROAD AND THEN WE HAVE TO SPD VALUABLE RESOURCES ON REDEVELOPMENTING OR IMPROVIG OR REPAVING THE ROAD.

>> SO ANYWAY. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT.

>> BACK TO THE ISLAND AND BACK O THE WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANT. I GET PICKY.

ARE WE GOING TO CALL IT WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLAN OR AREE GOING TO CALL IT? THE ISLAND WATER FACILITY.

I WANT TO BE CONSISTENT. >> IWRF.

>> IWITH ALL OUR DOCUMENTS MOVIG FORWARD.

>> ABSOLUTELY. >> IT'S NOT CRITIQUE.

>> LET'S MAKE IT CONSISTENT. >> WE WILL ALL SPEAK THE LONG G.

>> I SAID ON THE TPO I COME FROM THE LAND OF OCRONYMS. THAT'S A DIFFERENT THING. THEY SPEAK IN DITCH LANGUAGES THERE AND I HAVE TO LEARN OR AND OVER AGAIN.

IT'S SICKLE SINGLE SPACE. >> I DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT

DOCUMENT. >>> ONLY WHEN I HAVE TO.

>> YOU BROUGHT UP THE FPRA WHICH WE WEAR THAT HAT.

HOW WILL IT BENEFIT AND IMPLEMET THE COMMISSION OF THE FPRA.

[01:15:02]

I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU MAE SURE THAT'S ONE OF OUR MAIN BULLET POINTS AND IN OUR DISCUSSION POINTS. THE OVER OVERLAY DISTRICT WERE BEING CHALLENGED.

IT WILL BE CHALLENGED IN THE NET FEW YEARS.

WITH IF FOLKS COMING IN TO MOVEO THE CITY OF PORTER PIERCE AD DEVELOP TO THE CITY. DOES THAT MEET WHERE WE WANT TO BE? IT'S OLD.

WE NEED TO RELOOK AT IT AND SEE HOW IT DOES MOVE IN STEPS WH WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH.

OUR MAJOR PROPERTY OWNERS YOU AE ON TARGET WITH THAT.

YOU HEARD ME TALK ABOUT THOSE MAJOR PROPERTIES ON THE ISLAND. SOME OF THEM BEING GOVERNMENT AD

COUNTY OWNED. >> SOME AGREEMENT.

I REMEMBER SOME DOCUMENTS FROM E 40S AND 50S THAT SAYS THESE LANDS SHALL BE USED FR THE SOLVE BENEFIT AND THE UE BENEFIT OF THE FORT OF FORT PIERCE WHICH THE CITY USED O CONTROL BUT NOW THE PORT IS CONTROL BID THE CITY AND THE COUNTY COMMISSION. THERE'S HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS THT WE NEED TO LOOK INTO. SO WHEN WE MET WITH THE BOARD AD HAD OUR JOINT MEETING THAT Y I WAS FRUSTRATED THAT DAY WN I LEFT THAT MEETING TOO. ONLY BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE THERE E A FEW FOLKS THAT WANTED TO BUILD SOME SILOS LOS IN THE ROOM. I DON'T WANT TALK ABOUT THAT'S R PROPERTY AND THIS IS OUR NAE ON IT.

I DON'T CARE. AT THE END OF THE DAY IT'S FOR E BENEFIT OF THE CITY OF FORT FORCE.

SO, IF WE CAN IRON THOSE DETAILS OUT WITH THE INNER LOCAL AGREEMENTS THEN THAT'S WHATE SHOULD BE DOING.

I FEEL LIKE THAT'S OUR MISSION D OUR OBJECTIVE TO TAKE A POSITIVE STEP FORWARD. I ONLY MENTIONED IT BECAUSE IT S A RUBBING POINT FOR ME THAT DAY.

I'M JUST -- IT'S NOT A BIG THIN. IT REALLY ISN'T.

TO SOME FOLKS IT IS. TO ME IT WASN'T.

I DON'T KNOW WHY WE GOT CAUGHT P IN THAT CONVERSATION BUT WE DID. FOR THE INNER LOCAL AGREEMENT.

LET'S GET IT MOVING FORWARD. BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK BACK AT THE CHARTER PRIOR TO 1972 THE CY RESIDENTS OWNED ALL OF THESE THINGS. THEY OWNED THE UTILITIES AND THN THEY VOTED AND SAID LET'S CREATE A BOARD AND WE PUSH T TO THE SIDE AND WE WILL ALLW THIS UNIT TO OPERATE.

THIS IS JUST SKWRER MIA SKWRER MIA'S VERSION OF IT.

I WASN'T BORN IT. IT'S GOING TO TAKE A MASSIVE EFFORT. IT WILL TAKE A MASSIVE EFFORT AD COMMITMENT AS A CITY COMMISSION MEMBER AND YES I WILL COMMIT THAT WE ARE GOIG TO PROVIDE FUNDING OR FOLKS SAY WHAT'S THE SKIN IN THE GAME? YOU SAID? RIGHT? I'M OKAY WITH THAT BECAUSE I REALIZE THAT FOR FPUA TO OPERATE OR THE CITY TO OPERE AND TO BOND THIS WORK WE HAE TO COMMIT TO REVENUE. WE HAVE TO SHOW THAT WE WANT TO TAKE THE LOAN AND BY THE WAY WE CAN PAY YOU BACK.

WE TALK ABOUT THAT ALL THE TIME. WE WILL PAY YOU BACK I PROMISE.

SO WE HAVE TO COMMIT TO THAT. WHETHER IT'S A CITY COMMISSIONER OR BOARD MEMBER. I'M READY FOR THAT.

AND THANK YOU FOR THE INNER LOCL AGREEMENT.

I THINK IT'S SHORT AND CON SIS. STRAIGHTFORWARD.

YOU HAVE SOME MILESTONES AND DAS OF WHERE WE WANT TO BE AND TARGET DATES TO ACCOMPLISH. SO I'M GOOD.

>> GOOD. >> COMMISSIONER -- I TOO AT THAT MEETING. THE JOINT MEETING WITH THE YOU TILL THINK AUTHORITY. WE HAVE TWO ATOM MOUSE BOARDS MOVING IN SUPPOSED TO BE THE SAME DIRECTION.

AND OUR ROAD MAP IS OUR CHARTER. AND BECAUSE THAT CHARTER CAN BE INTERPRETED MANY DIFFERENT WAYS.

AND INSTEAD OF STAYING ON POINT WE'RE WIGGLING OFF IN

[01:20:01]

I THINK THAT'S WHERE MY FRUSTRATION CAME FROM.

SO THE INNER LOCAL AGREEMENT NES TO HAPPEN.

SO WE STAY IN OUR LANE. WE SUPPORT THE ACTIONS OF EACH E AND MOVE FORWARD TO THE COMN GOAL AND WITHOUT THAT YOU CN ADD 3-5 YEARS TO THIS PROJET BECAUSE WE'RE STUMBLING BLOCK. WE LEFT THERE GOING WE MEAN WHO OWNS THE PROPERTY. WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHO OWNS THIS? WHO GETS TO MAKE THAT DECISION? WE ALL GET -- AND THIS WILL BE THE -- THIS WILL BE THE ACTL SEED THAT WILL HELP US GO THROUGH THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMT OF SOUTH BEACH OVER LAY AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DOING E RIGHT THING.

WE NEED THIS. WE REALLY HAVEN'T HAD TOO MUCH INTERACTION WITH THE UTILITY AUTHORITY.

WE LET THEM DO WHAT THEY DO. WE DO WHAT WE DO AND EVERYTHING TIME WE COME TO THE SAME ROM WE ALWAYS HAVE A PROBLEM BECAUSE WE LOOK TO OUR CHARR FOR DIRECTION AND THE CHARTR ISN'T THAT EXPLICIT. IT DOES GIVE US THE OUT ONE.

SO WE NEED TO GET EXPLICIT AND E NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HE A BETTER ROAD MAP THAN WHATE HAVE IN THE PAST.

>> DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING? >>> THANK YOU FOR THE WORK THAT

YOU I'LL BE DOING. >> I LOOK FORWARD TO IT.

>> SO ANYTHING ELSE YOU NEED? >> NO MA'AM.

>> THANKS FOR BEING HERE DR. DELANEY.

WE WILL BE HAPPY TO SEE YOU MORE OFTEN.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD IT TO AND THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.

>> ALL RIGHT. >> THE NEXT TIME ON THE AGENDA S

[c. Board and Committee Structure Overview ]

>> IS THIS YOU MS. COX? >> YES.

>> I'M GLAD YOU HAVE A BIG CHART FOR US.

>> THERE'S TWO SECTIONS TO US NAP'S THE MEETING REQUIREMES AND THE DUTIES OF THE BOARDS JUST TO HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED IF YOU HAVE THEM. SO BASICALLY AFTER OUR LAST MEETING I WENT THROUGH ALL F OUR BOARDS AND COMMITTEES.

WE HAVE MANY AND TRY TO DO A SUMMARY OF HOW THEY WERE ORGANIZED. WHAT THEIR STRUCTURE LOOKS LIKE.

WHETHER OR NOT THERE'S RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS.

THE LENGTHS OF THE TERM AND WHAT THE ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS ARE AND WHAT THE PROCESS IS FOR REMOVAL IF THE ATTENDANE REQUIREMENTS AREN'T MET. I INCLUDED FINANCIAL REPORTING JUST BECAUSE IT'S INTERESTING.

SOME PEOPLE GET ON A BOARD AND THEY DON'T REALIZE FINANCIAL REPORTING IS PART OF THAT. SO, BASICALLY WHAT I HIGHLIGHTED THE ONES THAT ARE A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

THEY ARE NOT FOLLOWING OUR EXISTING OUR NEW STRUCTURE WHERE EACH BOARD IS INDIVIDUALLY HAS AN INDIVIDL APPOINTMENT AND THEN SOMETIS IT'S AT LARGE AND SOMETIMES IT'S JUST A BOARD OF FIVE. THIS ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE TOWARDS AS WELL. WHEN YOU HAVE AN INDIVIDUAL APPOINTMENT. THOSE TERMS RUN WITH YOUR TERMS BECAUSE IT GETS AWKWARD AND CONFUSING.

>> WHY? >> BECAUSE SOME DO AND SOME DON'T. IN TERMS MAY RUN OVER WHEN SOMEBODY LEAVES OFFICE IT DOESN'T HAVE TO HAPPEN.

IN ORDER TO BE CONSISTENT THAT WOULD BE MY RECOMMENDATION.

I'M OPEN TO ANY YES, SIR. I HADN'T PLANNED ON GOING THROUH EACH INDIVIDUALLY. THE ADVISORY BOARD WITHIN THE RESOLUTION THAT FORM THE BOARD. .

THE STAFF MEMBER THAT IS THE BOD THAT THEY HAD MISSED TO.

ANY MEMBER MAY BE REMOVED. THEY ARE FOR NON- -- AND ANY COMMITTEE THAT WE. AT SOME POINT.

THE CITY COMMISSIONERS. THAT'S DETERMINED BY STATE STATUTE. THAT'S GOING TO BE FOUND IN

[01:25:03]

CHAPTER 112. >> IT'S ALSO IN OUR CHARTER I

THINK. >> I BELIEVE SO.

I DON'T WANT TO TELL YOU INCORRECTLY.

>> I THINK IT IS. >> OKAY.

>> BUT THE FPUA IS DEFINITELY IN OUR CHARTER.

AND WE WOULD HAVE TO OBVIOUSLY AMEND THE CHARTER TO CHANGE

THAT. >> YEAH.

>> I THEY TEASE QUESTION. ARE WE LOOKING AT ALL OF OUR BOARDS TO HAVE THAT SAME TYE OF HRAPBL WANT.

ARE YOU GOING TO GET BACK TO USN THEN?

>> I'M BRING NAG UP AS A POSSIBILITY.

SOMETHING WE SHOULD CONSIDER. YES, SIR.

>> SO I LIKE IT. SOMETIMES LESS IS MORE THOUGH.

>> IT'S UP FOR DISCUSSION. >> SOMEONE IS AGAINST THEIR

REMOVAL. >> RIGHT?

>> I THINK RIGHTS NOW. IF YOU WOULD LAYER IN.

>> THAT'S A GOOD POINT. >> I'M GLAD I BROUGHT IT UP FOR

DISCUSSION AND NEVER MIND. >>>

>> JUST SO I'M CLEAR. >> SO THEY DO SERVE AS THE PLEASURE OF THE COMMISSION T THIS POINT.

THEY DECIDE NOT TO RESIGN. >> WHAT DO THEY DO?

>> THOSE ARE THINGS I'M THINKING ABOUT, RIGHT?

>> IF WE HAVE OUR POINT SOMEONEO A BOARD AND WHATEVER HAPPENS ARE JUST NOT GOING TO CALL Y INCIDENT.

>> IT'S HEADLINE GRABBING OR WHATEVER AND I GO TO AN INDIVIDUAL AND I WOULD LIKE YOU TO RESIGN ON LIGHT OF WHAT'S GOING ON HERE AND WHATEVER AND THEY REFUSE TO AND WHAT DO WE DO? THAT COMES IN PROCEDURES, PROCE.

>> I WOULD LIKE SOME CLARIFICATN ON THAT.

I THINK WE ARE -- THIS BRINGS ABOUT A CONVERSATION TO THAT THERE HAS BEEN MANY CASES RIGHT NOW EVEN IN HEADLINES WHERE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN REMOD BASED ON THINGS THEY ARE POSTERIORING ONLINE. SOCIAL CONDUCT.

ALL OF THESE THINGS COME IN TO PLAY WHERE IT IT ASSOCIATES WITH THE ENTITY THAT TIES BK TO THE CITY.

AS MUCH AS PEOPLE HAVE YOUR FREEDOM TO EXPRESS WHATEVER

ULTIMATELY COMES BACK. >> I THINK WE NEED TO THINK ABOT

THAT. >> THESE ARE SOME OF MY CONCERN.

THE WORLD IS CHANGING AND PEOPLE HAVE BECOME VERY OPINIONUATED. THAT'S FINE.

>> OF EXPRELSZ THEM AND GO FROM THERE.

>> THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD WAS- THE TERMS NOW DO LINE UP WIH THE COMMISSION. THERE'S TWO YEAR TERMS.

>> YOU APPOINT BUT THERE HAVE A TWO YEAR TERM.

I THOUGHT IF WE HAD AN APPOINTE. >> THAT'S TELLING YOU THAT'S NOT WHAT WE SAID FOR THE POLICE ADVISORY BOARD?

>> I DON'T BELIEVE SO. I WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT.

USUALLY WHEN WE ADOPT A RESOLUTN APPOINTING SOMEBODY.

THEIR TER HAS AN EXPIRATION BUT THERE'S ALWAYS A CLAUSE THAT SAYS OR UNTIL REPLACED. IT IT WILL STAY SEATED UNTIL SUH

[01:30:18]

>> . >> I THINK THE STAFF PERSON REQUESTS TRAINING FOR THAT BOARD.

>> WHENEVER A PERSON IS APPOINTD TO A BOARD.

I MAILED THEM A COPY OF THE SUNSHINE GUIDE.

I GIVE THEM THAT SO THEY ARE AWARE.

I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU DO IT FOR ALL OF THEM.

I DO THINK IT'S AT THE REQUEST F STAFF.

I'M GLAD SOMEBODY IS THINKING ABOUT THAT.

>> TO YOUR QUESTION ABOUT HOW PEOPLE ARE REMOVED.

>> WHAT WE HAVE DONE IN THE PAST IS WE APPOINT BY RESOLUTION AND WE HAVE REMOVED PEOPLE Y RESOLUTION.

>> THANK YOU. I'M HAPPY THAT WE ARE GETTING ORGANIZED ON THIS. I DO HAVE A SITUATION ON THE

PARKING COMMITTEE. >> THEY BRING BENEFIT TO THAT.

TWO OF THE MEMBERS -- WE ARE WORRIED ABOUT MEETING.

THEY ARE OFF THE BOARD. THERE IS SOME DISCUSSION TO HAVE SO THAT BOARD CAN MAKE SURE THAT PERSON ISN'T REMOVED FM THEM. WE HAVE TO IDENTIFY THAT THEY AE VOLUNTEERING. ONCE ESTABLISHING AND ONE OF THE ISLANDS AND THE OTHER ONE IS OVER IN SWEDEN AND THEY ARE VERY ACTIVE IN WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO.

I DON'T LIKE EXCEPTIONS BUT I THINK IF WE HAVE SOME FORM F AN ULTIMATE APPEAL THAT CAN PUT SOME THEM AUTOMATICALLY REMOVED. IF THEY WANT TO CONTINUE SERVIN.

THEY HAVE A LIFE PICK SOMEPLACE ELSE BUT ARE INTERESTED IN .

I DON'T WANT TO MAKE AN EXCEPTION.

I DO THINK IF WE HAVE A SPECIFIC APPEAL KIT COME TO THIS COMMISSION FOR THAT APPEAL O THAT BOARD MEMBER IS NOT REMOVED. .

IT'S ONLY AUTOMATIC IF YOU KNOW ABOUT IT.

>> SO YOU'RE TELLING US NOT TO INFORM THE CLERK'S OFFICE.

>> I THINK IT'S UP TO THE STAFF AND COMMITTEES TO MAKE A DETERMINATION IF IT'S REAL PROBLEM.

>> THEN THEY SAILY REPORT YOU. >> THERE ARE SOME BOARDS THAT ALLOW EXCUSED ABSENCE ABSENCES.

WE HAVE SOME CONDITIONS. I DON'T REMEMBER THE LANGUAGE HW

[01:35:02]

>> IF IT WERE TO BE THREE CONSECUTIVE UNEXCUSED AND MAYBE THERE'S SOME THAT WE WANT TO ALLOW THE BOARD TO Y WE KNOW THE EXTENSION WAITIG CIRCUMSTANCE.

THEY HAVE TALKED TO US ABOUT THR CIRCUMSTANCE.

THEY HAVE NOT WORKED ELSEWHERE. WERE NOT GOING BACKWARDS BECAUSE THIS PESON IS NOT HERE NAP'S USUALLY FOR ME IT'S USUALLY- COMES DOWN TO THE BUSINESS F THE FORT PIERCE LIKE THE PLANNING BOARD. THE PLANNING BOARD IS VERY CRITICAL TO OUR ACTIONS BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE STEPS OF APPROVE TOLL GET IT TO COME TO THIS COMMISSION. THE PARKING COMMITTEE IS NOT GOG THROUGH KWAU STKAOEU HEARINS AND JUDICIAL HEARINGS AND THOSE TYPES OF FORMALITIES O BRING SOME RECOMMENDATION TO US. THOSE ARE CONVERSATIONS OF INFLUENCERS AN PEOPLE IN THE BUSINESS THAT ARE TRYING TO HELP US MAKE WELL EDUCATED DECISIONS ON WHERE OUR CITY NEEDS TO GO. SO IS THAT AN OPTION? MAYBE THE BOARD HAS THE ABOUT TO EXCUSE SOMEONE.

OR JUST VOTE OR JUST TO SAY WE UNDERSTAND THE CIRCUMSTANCE.

>>> COMMISSIONER, THAT WOULD FIX IT.

BUT AGAIN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MAKING EXCEPTIONS.

SO IF THIS IS THE EXCEPTION THAT WE CAN MAKE AND THAT WE WILL ADD IT TO THOSE BOARDS WHERE WE DO HAVE ISSUES I'M ALL FR THAT. I'M JUST -- I JUST KNOW THAT WHN WE START THROWING EXCEPTIONS OUT TO OUR RULE.

I'M NOT FOR EXCEPTIONS. WE GET OURSELVES INTO TROUBLE.

I STILL THINK. I THINK WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL AA COMMISSION WITH THAT. WHAT I'M SAYING TOO.

THIS IS A GROWING CITY. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE. MAYBE WE HAVE TO WORK TO SERVE N ONE OF THESE BOARDS. A COUPLE DO HAVE EXCEPTIONS.

THE POLICE COMMITTEE ADVISORY BOARD.

THAT ARE ALLOWED BY THE BOARD OR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR.

>> AND ALSO THE ARTS AND CULTUR. SO, WE DO HAVE THOSE ON OTHER ENTITIES. ARE WE GOING TO REMOVE THOSE?

>> IT'S BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT. CONTRACTORS.

PLANNING BOARD. WE ALWAYS WENT THROUGH ROLE CALL OR EXCUSED OR NOT. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY STILL DO I.

I THINK THEY DO. >> IN THAT WAY THAT BOARD ITSELF CAN IDENTIFY THE FACT OF THT BOARD MEMBER CALL IN AND GIE AN EXCUSE AND IF SO IS THAT BOARD MAKES THE DECISION THT THIS PERSON SHOULD CONTINUEO BE A BOARD MEMBER OR NOT AND I'M OKAY WITH THAT IN FACT N THAT.

THEY WILL HAVE THAT PAR TES PASSION I WITH THEM.

THAT REMOVES THEM NO MATTER WHAT AFTER THREE CONSECUTIVE

MISSES. >> THAT IS ON THE FMIT BOARD.

WE JUST REMOVED SEVERAL PEOPLE BECAUSE OF NON-ATTENDANCE.

SO IT WAS CLEAR THEY'RE NOT INTERESTED OR NOT COMMITTED

ENOUGH TO SHOW UP. >> LOOKING OVER ALL.

I JUST COUNTERED. THERE'S SEVERAL OF THESE BOARDS THAT ALLOW A VOTE BY OR AN EXCUSE ALLOWED.

THERE'S SEVERAL OF THESE BOARDS THAT ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE AN

[01:40:03]

>> SO, YOUR POINT IS WE SHOULD - >> YOU SUGGEST OF HOW IT SHOULDE

CONSISTENT? >> TO ME WE ADDRESS IT.

WE TAKE CARE OF THE ONES SAYING NOT ADDRESSED.

>> WE VOTE TO ALLOW THE EXCUSE R VOTE TO NOT.

>> ONE OR THE OTHER. >> YES.

BY VOTE OF THE BOARD OR NO. RIGHT?

>> RIGHT. >> AND I'M OKAY WITH THE YES.

I HAVE SAID ON THE BOARD WOULD U ALLOW IT.

THERE'S REASONS FOLKS DON'T COM. >> MARKETING DOME MAYOR?

>> YES, SIR. >> THERE'S ALSO A POSITIVE POSSIBILITY OF AN EXCUSE BEG ALLOWED BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE SUNRISE THEATER AND I DEFINITELY THK

THAT SHOULD BE REMOVED. >> ME TOO.

>> I NOTED THAT. >> THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT

UP. >> I THINK SO TOO.

>>> I LIKE TO WHERE THIS IS GOIG GOING.

>> WHAT WE COULD DO FROM A COMMISSION SPECIALERRIVE ISE ABLE TO GIVE A CERTAIN STANDARD BY WHICH EXCUSES AE GIVEN OR NOT. DESCRIBE EXACTLY WHAT THE PROCES IS AND OFFER THAT TO THE BOARD.

SAY LOOK -- HAVE YOU RECEIVE THE NOTICE FROM YOUR MEMBER?

>> NUMBER ONE. IS THE MEMBER IN GOOD STANDING?

>> THAT TYPE OF THING. AND THEN IF IT GOES THROUGH THAT PROCESS IT'S VOTED ON BY THT BOARD AND I'M HAPPY WITH THT

DECISION. >> I BELIEVE IF WE CAN COME UP WITH A CRITERIA THAT EACH BOARD WILL EVALUATE THAT MEMBER. AND THAT ABSENCE.

>> COMMISSIONER JAY JOHNSON. >> I DON'T HAVE A WHRAPBLG TO GT THERE. I THINK OUR STAFF SHOULD SHOULD

WORK ON THE LANGUAGE. >> THEY HAVE A LIFE OR BUSINESSO WORRY ABOUT. THEY CAN.

>> IT SAYS FOR THE PARK COMMITTE ALREADY.

>> THREE CONSECUTIVE -- >> OR 2/3.

SOME OF THEM NOT ALL OF THEM. AGAIN IT'S SOME AND NOT ALL.

I'M JUST TRYING TO MAKE IT SO TT EXCUSED ABSENCES ARE ALLOWAE @ BECAUSE THEY ARE EXTENSION WAITING CIRCUMSTANCES AND AO THERE'S A MAXIMUM OF IF IT'S 50% I'M GOOD WITH THAT.

THAT'S A STRICTER NUMBER. >> HAVE YOU GOT A SENSE OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT? STAFF?

>> I WOULD LIKE TO GO BACK TO YR THOUGHTS OF HAVING THE TERMS

CONCUR RANT. >> THAT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING

ANYWAY. >> THE ONLY OTHER ITEM IS THE TM LIMITS. I KNOW WE'VE HAD SOME CHALLENGES WITH THERM LIMITS. SOMETIMES TERM LIMITS ARE GREAT.

OTHER TIMES YOU GET A COMMITTEE THAT'S JUST REALLY GOING AND DOING GREAT THINGS AND THEN THEY TERM OUT.

SO I THINK FROM A CONSISTENT STANDPOINT I WOULD PREFER TT WE DON'T HAVE TERM LIMITS AD THAT YOU GET TO MAKE THE APPOINTMENT AND IT'S UP TO U TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THE TERMS ARE UP. THAT'S MY OWN PERSONAL THOUGHT.

[01:45:06]

THE COUNTY. >> THEN, YOU KIND OF WANT NEW BLOOD. EXCEPT THE FUA BOARD.

THAT'S PART OF THE CHARTER, ACTUALLY.

>> THE ONES AT THE BOTTOM. THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT.

BROAD OF EXAMINERS. THE PRESERVATION.

ALL OF THOSE ARE DONE BY ORDINANCE.

>> IT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT PROCESS.

>> THE OTHERS ARE ALL DONE BY RESOLUTIONS.

>> THAT A VERY SIMPLE -- WE REDO THE RESOLUTION AND FIX ALL E ELEMENTS IN THERE THAT NEEDO BE MADE CONSISTENT.

THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS AND THE BOARD OF EDUCATION BOARD.

IF YOU GET A BOARD THERE THAT WS IN STEP STEP WITH ONE ANOTHER -- WHETHER GOOD, BAD OR INDIFFERENT, THEY CONTROLLING THE DIRECTION OF WHATEVER IS HAPPENING OR BEG

BROUGHT. >>> ALMOST INTIMIDATION.

AND TKWRAPB CAN PROBABLY GIVE US MORE INPUT THAN NOT.

I HAVE HEART BURN WITH NOT HAVIG TERM MINUTES ON THOSE TWO

BOARDS. >> WHICH ONE?

>> HISTORIC PRESERVATION. I FEEL LIKE TURN OVER IS A GOOD

THING FOR THOSE. >> SOME FOLKS INTERPRET THE DIRECTION OF THE CITY. SOMETIMES YOU NEED NEW IDEAS.

>> I KNOW HISTORIC PRESERVATION. >> I'VE HAD A CONVERSATION WITH ONE MEMBER WHO FEELS STRONGY THAT IT'S A GOOD WORKING

GROUP. >> I SEE THE DANGER YOU ARE

TALKING ABOUT. >> SOME TIMES THAT HAPPENS ON TE

PLANNING BOARD, TOO. >> SOMETIMES A PLANNING BOARD

NEEDS TO BE ADDING TO THAT. >> THERE'S A RUT THAT'S CREATED SOME DAYS AND IT'S ALSO A -- NOT A RUT -- WHO'S THE OPPOSITE OF A RUT? POSITIVE?

>> THAT WOULD BE ONE WAY TO DEAL WIT PERHAPS.

>> COMMISSIONERS. >> LINDA, YOU TALKED ABOUT THE PLANNING BOARD AND WE MADE ADJUSTMENTS.

ARE YOU JUST SAYING JUST BY A CHANGE IN THE COMMISSION THT THE MEMBERSHIP MAY CHANGE. WE DON'T NEED TERM LIMIT?

>>> I THINK BECAUSE THEY'RE INDIVIDUAL INDIVIDUAL APPOINTMENTS. IF YOU THINK SOMEONE HAS BEEN THERE TOO LONG AND NOT DOING THE WORK THAT YOU WANT THEMO AND YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO NOT REAPPOINTMENT.

BECAUSE THEY SURVEY YOUR PLEASU. >> I PUT SOME PEOPLE ON HERE WHO PROBABLY WOULD NOT AND THEY HAVE GROWN AND THEY WILL LEARNING FROM THE PROCESS. YOU A BETTER OPPORTUNITY TO ENGE

[01:50:14]

SURE. >> TPWHAUS BOARD HAS BEEN SITTIG FOR A WHILE OBVIOUSLY AND THERE'S NO TERM LIMITS.

I THINK WE NEED TO EXAMINE THAT. >>>

>> AND THEN THE OTHER ONE WAS BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT.

IS THAT RIGHT? >> THAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT?

>> IT'S OUR THREE. >> I THINK THE COMMISSIONER JAY JOHNSON. THIS IS SOMETHING WE CAN FLUSH T IN THE FUTURE. OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

IF YOU HAVE INDIVIDUAL APPOINTMENTS AND THEY ARE AT WILL, THAT FEEDS BACK TO THE INITIAL POINT TO DO WE WANTO CHANGE IT TO MATCH UP FOR OR REQUIREMENTS NAP'S WHERE THT IS NOT A GREAT IDEA. YOU REMOVE THEM.

NO QUESTIONS ASKED. >> I THINK THAT'S WHAT'S NEEDEDN THE HRABLG WANTING HERE. INSTEAD NONE.

I THINK THIS IS AT THE WILL APPOINTMENT FOR THE COMMISSION. THAT'S A TRIGGER FOR US TO KNOW THAT WE NEED TO CONSTANTLY LOOK AT OUR BOARDS AND THE PERFORMANCE AND HAVE UPDATES AND IF WEAR NOT HAPPY WITH WHAT WEAR GETTING I THINK WE NEED TO CHALLENGES OURSELVES TO FIND OTHER PEOPLE TO SERE ON THESE BOARD.

>> MAYBE WHAT WE COULD DO IS AT THE CONFERENCE AGENDA ON A QUARTERLY BASIS IS HAVE A REPORT OF THE COMMITTEES THT HAVE MET IN THE ATTENDANCE. I DON'T KNOW HOW THOSE COMMITTES ARE GOING UNLESS THEY CALL ME.

WHAT WOULD YOU THINK ABOUT THATS TO BEAR AN ATTENDANCE REPOR.

WE NEED A CONSTANT REMINDER. AT SOME POINT WE NEED TO HAVE AN UPDATE OR A MOMENT FOR US TO REFLECT.

I WOULD BE REOPEN TO THAT. THEN THERE'S A CAPACITY DATABASE IN THIS FORMAT THAT SHOWS INFORMATION THAT'S THE SAME THING. IT PUTS EVERYONE ELSE ON NOTICE,

TOO. >> RIGHT.

>> IT' IMPORTANT TO YOU AS A BOD TO KNOW THAT PEOPLE ARE

WORKING IN. >> BUT THE COMMITTEES ARE FUNCTIONING AS THEY SHOULD FUNCTION.

>> I KNOW THE STAFF REPORTS TO MR. MIMS BUT IT'S NOT HIS JB TO SAY GUESS WHAT. ARTS AND CULTURES COULD MEET THS

[01:55:04]

>> HE'S NOT GOING TO REMEMBER THAT.

. I WILL WORK WITH THESE THAT WE HAVE THREE CONSECUTIVE UNEXCUSED ABSENCES. ALLOW ABSENCES BY THE BOARD.

WE WILL DEVELOP SOME ACCEPTABLE CRITERIA FOR AN EXCUSE.

THE OTHER ABSENCE IS 50% OF ALL REGULAR MEETINGS.

WE WILL GO TO CONCURRENT TERMS D NO TERM LIMIT.

>> WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE HISTOC PRESERVATION BOARD.

>> AND ANYTHING ELSE? >> ANYBODY CAN THINK OF?

>> . >> OKAY.

COMMISSIONER JOHNSON WILL HAVE O CATCH UP IF HE DOES HAVE SOMETHING ELSE. ALL RIGHT? WE WILL MOVE ON. .

[d. Presentation regarding the establishment of a Fort Pierce Utilities Authority advisory board.]

>> THANK YOU. WERE ALSO LOOKING TO SEE IF THE CITY COMMISSION WOULD LIKE O PARTICIPATE IN THE CONCEPT T ANY LEVEL. WITH THAT I WILL HAVE JAVI RUN THROUGH THE DETAILS WITH YOU AND OPEN UP THE DISCUSSION.

>> GOOD MORNING. MADAME MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSIO.

TODAY WE WILL BE TALKING ACT THE UTILITY ADVISORY BOARD.

AND THE DETAILS ASSOCIATED WITH IT.

DARE I ADD ANOTHER ACRNYM. THE UAB.

PROVIDE A FORM WHERE CITIZENS CN IDENTIFY ISSUES WITH POLICIS AND PROCEDURES. THE CONCEPTS AN OPEN DIALOG TO TALK ABOUT ISSUES THAT AFFECT THE RATE PAIRS SUCH AS PUBLIC RELATIS AND ANY KIND OF BUSINESS CONCERNS AND COMMUNITY OUT REACH AND ANY TOPIC OF SPECL INTEREST.

A AND ALSO TALK ABOUT POTENTIAL POLICY CHANGES AND HOW THOSE ARE IMPLEMENTED HELP WITH TE EDUCATION OUT REACH FOR THOE CHANGES THAT THEY BROUGHT TO THE FPUA BOARD.

I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE UAB SHALL NOT HAVE ANY AUTHORITY OVER THE FPUA. THEY ARE NOT A POLICY MAKING BODY. THEY ONLY PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIOS FOR ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY AD PROCEDURES FOR THE FPUA BOA.

THE UAB WILL BE MADE UP BY NINE MEMBERS.

THE MAYOR SERVES AS THE FPUA BOD AND CITY COMMISSION.

FOUR FROM THE CITY COMMISSION AD FOUR FROM THE UTILITY BOARD.

>> AS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT HERE TODAY.

THE TERM LIMIT SO I THINK IT WOD BE IMPORTANT TO IDENTIFY TEM LIMIT SPECIFICALLY THOSE RELATED TO THE CITY COMMISSIONER. ALL MEMBERS MUST BE AN ACCOUNT

[02:00:02]

WE WILL ADDRESS THAT WITH ANY FEEDBACK THAT WE GET FROM MS. COX. TESTIFY LAST BULLET ITEM IS TO ENSURE THE SUSTAIN ABOUT OF THE UAB.

IF THERE ARE ANY SRAEU VACANCIES TO SEE THAT THEY ARE BUILD O THEY CAN CONTINUE TO FUNCTION.

THE ORGANIZATION HOUSES WILL RUN AS OF TODAY UNTIL THE UAB

ACTUALLY MEETS. >> EVEN OTHER MONTH AND *EPBDS P WORKING WITH THE UAB. I NOTICED THE SECOND PARK CHAIR.

ANY UAB MEMBER WILL BE REMOVED R NON- -- IT'S SIMILAR TO THE FPUA BOARD REQUIREMENT. JOHN AND MYSELF WILL BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THE UAFB. IT WILL PARTICIPATE AS REQUESTED AND PROVIDE AS MUCH UTILITY INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE.

SO WHAT ARE THE RESPONSIBILITIE. I MENTIONED THEM IN THE FIRST COUPLE OF SLIDES. IT'S TO HAVE AN OPEN DIALOG TO TALK ABOUT ANY AOEPL TIMES O BUSINESS KERPS AND COMMUNITY OUT REACH. I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT.

>> ANY OF THOSE THINGS THAT THEY LEARNED THAT THEY ARE ABLE O IMPLEMENT RECOMMEND FOR POLY CHANGES.

THE OTHER PART OF THAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR EDUCATION OUT REACH. THAT HAS TO BE PART OF THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BOARD BECAUSE THAT'S REALLY AFTERNOON IMPORTANT PIECE OF THE PUZZLE.

IT WILL BE WHATEVER DISCRETION TIME FRAME.

WE WILL REPORT THE MEETINGS BECAUSE THERE'S A COUPLE OF STATUTES THAT TALK ABOUT THE IMPACT THAT THEY HAVE AND TE DECISION-MAKING PROCESS. MAKE SURE THEY ARE PUBLIC TO PUBLIC MAKING REQUESTS. THE NEXT IS THE FEEDBACK FOR THE CITY COMMISSION TODAY AND FINALIZE THE RESOLUTION AND OBVIOUSLY WE WILL HAVE TO WT UNTIL WE GET MORE DETAILS FM MS. COX ON SOME OF THE PARAMETERS FOR ATTENDANCE.

WE WILL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

>> MADAME MAYOR. JUST A COMMENT.

THANK YOU MR. TOM PECK. THIS HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMIN.

>> AS YOU KNOW I WAS RUNNING FOR THE SEAT.

THIS WAS ONE OF THE CRITICAL THINGS THAT I HEARD A LOT ABOUT. THE STUFF I HEARD WAS UNBELIEVA.

THE ONLY WAY WE WILL GET GET THIS.

[02:05:01]

AND I JUST SEE THE POTENTIAL HEE IF WE DO THIS RIGHT TO BRING IN THOSE PARTS OF OUR COMMUNITY THAT THEY HAVE CONCERNS BUT THEY TONIGHT KW HOW TO VOICE THEM AND FORM THAT SO WE GET THAT FEEDBACK AND UNDERSTAND THAT.

WE NEED TO GET THAT INFORMATION OUT ABOUT FPUA AND COMMUNITY SERVICES. SOME OF THE STUFF AND SOME OF TE PERCEPTIONS ABOUT DEPOSITS R LIGHT BILLS. IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE THE STUFF I HEARD.

THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO MAE THOSE COMMENTS.

STAUPBDZING THE CONTACT WAS NOT CURRENT OR CUSTOMERS SAW THT THE FUA WAS CALLING AND DIDT WANT TO CALL BACK BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR ANY BAD NEWS.

AND ALL KINDS OF THINGS THAT QUESTION CAME FACE-TO-FACE LAST YEAR. AND I TOO HEARD DURING THE CAMPAIGN. I REMEMBER SPECIFICALLY SOMEBODY SPECIFICALLY ASKING ME FOR THIS VERY THING AND SO, I KW THAT YOU BROUGHT IT UP TO MR. TOM PECK AND HE BROUGHTT UP TO ME EARLY ON IN 2021. TY WAS SO GLAD THAT YOU WERE RECOMMENDING THAT AND HAVING THE CON SERVICE.

ANY OTHER COMMENT? ES.

>> . WHEN I LOOKED AT THIS.

I HAD A PROBLEM OF HAVING CITY COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS.

HAVING SAT ON THE UTILITY BOARD AND WILL HAVE AN ADVISORY GROUP AND MORE OF MY POSITIN WOULD BE VALUABLE.

>> THEY WILL HAVE ALL THOSE FOLS TOGETHER.

I'M TRYING TO THINK WHAT ARE WE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH THERE? THE SAME MEMBER THEY WOULD SO -- THE APPOINTMENT ON THE UTILY AUTHORITY. KEEP GOING.

YOU'RE DOING WELL. I DO UNDERSTAND AND HAVE A LOT F FOLKS REPRESENTED ON THIS BOARD TO BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD. IS THIS SOMETHING THAT YOU BELIEVE? BASED ON THE DISCUSSION.

[02:10:24]

IT WILL BE A VERY BASIC AGENDA.T WOULDN'T BE DETAILED.

ESPECIALLY FOR THE FIRST COUPLEF PLEATINGS.

>> THEY WILL DEVELOP THE AGENDA. . I WILL PROBABLY GO TO THE FIRT MEETING MAYBE TO HELP A LITE BIT WITH THE ORGANIZATION.

BUT AFTER THAT. THEY TELL US WHAT THEY WANT.

WE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS INTERNALLY.

WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT AS WE MOVE FORWARD IS THE DISCUSSION ON ITEM TWO TODAY ON THE RELOCATING FACILITY BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF INFORMATION THAT'S GOING TO COME OUT AND THEY WILL NEEDO UNDERSTAND THAT AND WHAT WE WOULD LIKE THEM TO UNDERSTA. WHAT THEY WANT FOR US IN TERMS F INFORMS. A.

THE BOARD ITSELF WILL SETUP A CRITERIA AN ISSUES THAT THEY NEED SUPPORT WITH. THAT'S WHERE WE NORMALLY START WHERE WE START TALKING AMONT OVERS AND WE ARE TRYING TO GUESS WHAT THE COMMUNITY REALLY WANTS.

THIS WOULD FILTER DOWN FROM YOUR UTILITY BOARD.

YOU GUYS LIKE TO STAY IN YOUR ON LANE.

YOU HAVE FOLKS HELPING MAKE DECISIONS BASED ON YOUR MISSION STATEMENT AS IT MOVS THROUGH THE UTILITY AUTHORIY AND ITS BOARD MEMBERS. IT MAKES MORE SENSE TO ME.

I'M GETTING A FEELING THAT THISS A LITTLE BIT BIGGER THAN THAT. IT'S GOING TO HANDLE A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS. IT HAS DIRECTION THAT WILL BE ST

FOR BY THE BOARD ITSELF. >> I THINK ORIGINALLY WHY WE DISCUSSED THE COMPOSITION OF THE GROUP IS THAT BASED ON E INPUT WE GOT FROM CURTIS THT IT LOOKED LIKE THE CITY COMMISSION WANTS TO BE INVOLVED IN THIS.

THAT'S WHY WE SUGGEST THRAD YOU EACH HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO APPOINT SOMEBODY. YOU DO IT ANYWAY YOU WANT.

I THINK IT WOULD WORK GREAT IF E CITY COMMISSIONERS ALSO HAD SOME FOLKS. SO YOU'RE YOU'RE ALLOWING TO US PUT MORE FINGERS IN YOUR RECIPE?

>> I DON'T LOOK AT IT THAT WAY. FIVE IS OPENING UP SOME DIALOG.

I THINK YOU HAVE SOME MORE REPRESENTATIVES SEEING WHAT THEY LIKE. THAT'S WHY WE THINK 9 AND 12 MIT

[02:15:02]

BE A GOOD NUMBER. >> JUST FROM MY EXPERIENCE WORKG FROM THE BOARDS AND COMMITT. IF YOU ALLOW THE BOARDS TO DEVEP THEIR OWN AGENDAS. I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT WORKS WITHOUT A SUNSHINE VIOLATIO. YOU WILL NEED STRONG STAFF SUPPT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE PROTECTED.

I WISH EVERY CITIZEN IN FLORIDA WOULD UNDERSTAND WHAT THE SUNSHINE LAW IS ABOUT. WHEN YOU TELL THEM THEY CAN'T BELIEVE THE THINGS THAT WE CAN'T DO.

>> I THINK IT HAPPENED A LOT WIH THE POLICE ADVISORY BOARD.

YOU WILL HAVE TO PROVIDE A LITTE BIT OF DIRECTION BECAUSE YOU WILL FIND OUT WHAT PEOPLE DON'T KNOW.

YOU DON'T WANT TO BE DICTATING THEIR AGENDAS.

YOU WILL HAVE TO PROVIDE STRONG STAFF REPORT.

BECAUSE IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TT THEY HAVE THE RIGHT.

I ALSO WANT TO TALK ABOUT HAVING THE CITY COMMISSION.

I FEEL LIKE THIS IS REALLY GOOD THING.

I SIT OP BOTH BOARDS SO THERE FR I'M SCHIZOPHRENIC.

SOMETIMES MY FELLOW COMMISSIONES ARE THINKING ABOUT.

I DON'T REPORT EVERYTHING TO THS BOARD ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON.

THERE'S NOT ENOUGH TIME TO DO T. YOU HAVE PLENTY OPPORTUNITY TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. IT'S NOT LIKE YOU EXTRA TIME IN THE DAY. THIS IS NOT A FINGER IN THE PIE BUT A CHANCE TO HAVE AN EYEA VIEW OF PEOPLE'S PERCEPTIONS OF THE FPUA AND HOW WE CAN HELP CORRECT IT.

IN THE END WHAT YOU END UP DOING IS ONCE SOMEBODY UNDERSTANDS EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS. THEY MAY NOT LIKE IT.

THERE'S A REASON FOR EVERY SINGE POLICY.

THEY MAY NOT LIKE IT AND MAY DISAGREE QUIT BUT AT LEAST THEY KNOW A REASON FOR IT. THAT MAKES THEM ALMOST AMBASSADORS. ALMOST PEOPLE WHO SAY I CAN TELL YOU WHAT THAT IS OR I CAN TL YOU WHO TO CALL IF YOU HAVEA PROBLEM THIS. HERE'S WHO YOU SHOULD CALL.

IT CREATES A CUSTOMER SERVICE AM WITHOUT BEING CONTROLLED BY THE FPUA. I THINK IT CREATE ASSISTANCE SEE OF TRANSPARENCY. WE ARE GOING TO GO IN THE COMMUNITY AND TALK TO THEM D WHO BEST TO HELP THEM THAN E PEOPLE IN THE KPHAOUB COMMUNITY.

WHEN HE SHOWED UP TO MY MEETING THAT NIGHT WE HAD QUITE A FW QUESTIONS THAT RAN OVER THAT NIGHT.

THERE WERE TOO MANY QUESTIONS. BUT THE PEOPLE IN THAT ROOM WHO I'M THINKING ABOUT WHO WOULD BEST SERVE CAN BETTER SERVE THEM AND GET INTO MORE CORNS OF OUR COMMUNITY THAN I CAN

[02:20:03]

HOW DO WERE TALK TO THE SIT SCENES? YOU CAN BOUNCE YOUR POWERPOINT F OF THEM.

THEY TELL YOU AND GIVE YOU FEEDBACK.

YOU GOT TO BRING IT DOWN A LITTE BIT.

>> SO I THINK THIS IS A TREMENDS OPPORTUNITY.

THAT'S HOW WE SHOULD LOOK AT THIS.

I DON'T NEED ANYMORE CONTROL. DON'T WANT ANY CONTROL OF THE FPUA. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE STKEUPBS OF FORT PIERCE WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND FPUA.

IT'S FURTHER CONCERNING TO ME TT THIS IS A TREMENDOUS MARKETG OPPORTUNITY. THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT AS WE ME FORWARD WITH THE PROJECT THT WE HAVE ON THE AOEU RAND

ISLAND NAP'S MY COMMENT. >> I THINK THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY HERE. I CAN SEE SOME INITIATIVES DEVELOPING OUTSIDE OF WHAT U JUST TALKED ABOUT.

IF YOU CAN GO BACK. I WANT TO BE CLEAR ON HOW THE APPOINTMENT REMOVAL PROCESS. I DON'T CARE IF IT SAYS XAVIER SINCE NARROWS IS THE ONES WO REMOVES BOARD MEMBERS.

I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD BE THE ONE.

I THINK THAT BULLET POINT IS SUBJECT TO REMOVAL IS DEFIND BY IT. I THINK THAT'S TOUGH.

I THINK THAT'S A VERY DIFFICULT HUE MAP LEVEL.

I THINK THAT'S DIFFICULT FOR AN ADVISORY TYPE BOARD.

AT THE OTHER END OF THE SPECTRUI FEEL LIKE THE CITY COMMISSIN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REMOVAL AND THE ULTIMATE RESPONSIBILITY LIE ON THE COMMISSION'S SHOULDERS TO REMOVE SOL ONE BECAUSE SIT POLITICAL.

IN THIS COMMISSION -- I'M OKAY WITH THAT.

I DON'T WANT THE OPPORTUNITY. IT'S PROBABLY WHERE IT SHOULD LIE. SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT'S CLEAR ON WHO IS DOING THAT T ALSO WANT IT TO BE CONSISTET WITH WHAT WE JUST TALKED ABT UTIN THE PREVIOUS ITEM THATS JUST AT THE DISCRETION OF TE UA BOARD AND CITY COMMISSIO.

IT COULD BE CHALLENGING. >> WHATEVER THE OUT COME IS OF E PROCEDURES. BEFORE IT GOES TO THE BOARD.

TO MAKE SURE THEY ALL LINE UP. STUFF TO PROVE.

ONE OF THOSE THREE WORDS. >> EARLIER WHAT WE SAID IS WEAR

NOT GOING TO GO THERE. >> WE SERVE AT WILL.

>> >> .

SEEING PRIOR TO PRESENTING THIS. >> I'M GLAD YOU ARE HERE HEAR OR DISCUSSION. I THINK THAT WILL PROBABLY HELP.

>> THE OTHER ELEMENT THAT I WOUD LIKE TO MAKE SURE.

I CAN SEE THIS MORE -FPING INTO SOMETHING VERY BENEFICIAL IN ADDITION TO WHERE IT'S GOING TO GO AT FIRST.

[02:25:03]

OWE. >> CITY STAFF IS READY AT SOME POINT TO PROVIDE SOME INPUTN ADDITION TO THE STAFF.

I CAN SEE THIS COMING IN TO SOME KIND OF A TRA TEE JURY PLANNING. I CAN SEE OTHER IDEAS THAT THIS BOARD WILL TALK ABOUT. IF WE GROW THE UTILITY HERE.

WHAT DOES THE CITY COMMISSION THINK ABOUT THAT FROM A ZONG AND PLANNING PERSPECTIVE. YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING.

>> THAT IS AN EASY COMMENT TO ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MEETIN.

I DON'T KNOW. CITY STAFF IS NOT HERE.

>> I THINK WE HAVE TO ADOPT ADOT AND PROVIDE INFORMATION AS NECESSARY. THAT'S GOING TO COME UP.

>> THE STAFF WILL GET A LOAD FIRST.

>> SO THE RESOLUTION THAT WE'RE PREPARING DOES TALK ABOUT FA UTILITY OPERATIONS AND NOT E CITY.

THERE COULD BE SOME CROSS OVER THERE.

>> I WILL BECAUSE IF YOU GROW TE UTILITY IT IMPACTS.

>> IF THEY START TO GO OUTSIDE F THE AREA THAT YOU WANT THEMO FOCUS ON THEN YOU COULD TELL THEM THIS IS MAYBE OUTSIDE E AREA. I'M HAPPY TO PROVIDE ANY -- I THINK THE DEVIL WILL BE IN E DETAILS AS COMMISSIONER.

>> AS COMMISSIONER JOHNSON JUST POINTED OUT.

THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS WE HAVEO CONSIDER.

I DON'T KNOW IF THEY ARE LEGAL ISSUES AS THEY ARE ISSUES OF WHAT'S GOING TO BE MOST EFFICIENT AND WHAT IS PAL ABOUT TO THE COMMISSION ANDO THE PORT.

THIS IS HOW WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS.

WE WILL JUST FOLLOW THE CITY'S GUIDELINE OR APPLICATION STANDARD AND BRINGING THAT FORWARD.

THAT JUST NEVER HAPPENED UNLESS IT'S HAPPENED AND I DON'T KW ABOUT IT. IT'S THE SAME AS A REMOVAL.

>> YOU NEVER HAD AN ADVISORY BOD AS FAR AS I KNOW.

>> STAFFING THE CHARTER REVIEW D A COUPLE OF OTHER ORGANIZATIONS IS -- OBVIOUSY YOU WANT THE PEOPLE NOT TO FEEL LIKE YOU'RE STUFFING ANYTHING DOWN THEIR THROAT.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME SOMETIMES THEY NEED GUIDANCE BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BEN TOO.

>> THE BOARD HAS A LARGE RESPONSIBILITY AS WE TALKED ABOUT. THEY ARE VOTING ON ITEMS LIKE TS IS HOW WE'RE GOING TO PLAN. THIS IS HOW WE ARE GOING TO

SPEND. >> YOU'RE VOTING ON ITEMS THAT

SPEND A LOT OF MONEY. >> SOMETIMES YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO THINK ABOUT THOSE OTHER ITEMS LIKE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. LIKE WHAT THE COMMISSIONER IS

TALKING ABOUT. >> .

>> SOUNDS TO ME THAT IT SOUNDS GOOD.

EVERYBODY HAPPY? THANK YU VERY, VERY MUCH.

EVERYBODY CLEAR ON WHERE WE'RE GOING?

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA S

[e. Discussion of SHIP funding allocation cap for home rehabilitation projects led by Director of Finance]

>> WE DO HAVE OUR DIRECTOR OF FINANCE AND OUR ADMINISTRATN DIVISION MANAGER TO DISCUSSN OUR SHIP ALLOCATION WITH REGARDS WITH HOUSING AND REHABILITATION PROGRAMS. AS YOU KNOW THE COST OF MATERIA, LABOR AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS INCREASING AND WE HAVE A CURRENT CAP.

WHO IS GOING FIRST? >> I'LL START.

[02:30:06]

SOME OF THOSE PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE STARTED ONCE YOU GET IN AND THE PROJECT STARTS. WE ARE BOUND BY HUD THAT ONCE WE START THE PROJECT WE HAVE TO BRING IT UP TO CODE.

AND SO WE'LL HAVE TO COME BACK D IT'S A $10,000 INCREASE.

IT'S WITHIN THE SCOPE OF HIS APPROVAL BUT WE'RE COMING BK BECAUSE OF THE CHANGE ORDER. IF WE ARE ALLOWED TO CHANGE THAT PROVISION IN OUR -- AND SAY $50,000 WHICH AGAIN IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE TIGHT BUT IT WILL ALLOW US TO DO SOME WOK FOR SOME OF THE PROJECTS THT WE ARE COMING UP AGAINST.

SHE LA WILL GIVE A BRIEF OVER VW OF SOME OF THOSE ISSUES THAT WE HAD SO YOU CAN SEE FIRSTHAND WHERE THE PROJECT STARTS WHERE WE WALK INTO AD WHAT HAS TO BE DONE.

>> GOOD MORNING, MAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS.

WE HAVE COMPETED NINE SHIP PROJECTS BETWEEN 2022 AND TS YEAR. AND OUT OF THOSE NINE THREE OF THEM OF THEM HAVE GONE OVER BUDGET DUE TO THE PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE ENCOUNTER ENCOUNTERED ONCE WE STARTED PROJECT. THIS SLIDE IS SHOWING A FEW OF E HOMES THAT WENT OVER BUDGET. WE WENT IN TO DO WINDOWS.

TO TO DO DOOR. WE HAD PIPES THAT HAD ROTTED.

TREES HAD GROWN OVER THE PIPES. SO WE HAD TO PUT IN CHANGE INCREASE TO DO THE UNDER GROUND PIPING.

WE PUT AC IN THE HOME BECAUSE TE PERSON WAS ELDER ELDERLY.

>> WE HAD TO DO UNDER GROUND REPIPING WHICH WAS AN INCREE OF ABOUT $12,000. THIS IT WAS BATHROOM IN THE HOM.

YOU CAN SEE ON THE RIGHT HERE. THIS IS THE NEW BATHROOM.

IT WAS BEFORE OR AFTER OF THE SE HOUSE.

NEW DOORS. THIS HOME HERE.

THIS HOME WAS A PARTICULAR SITUATION WHERE THE HOMEOWNR WAS NOT ABLE TO RETURN TO TE HOME UNTIL THE HOME WAS REABILL TATED BECAUSE THE HE WAS SO DAMAGED.

IT HAD BEEN VANDALIZED WHEN SHE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR A PERIOD OF ALMOST TWO YEARS. A HOSPITAL AN REHAB.

WINDOWS COULDN'T SHUT. DOORS WERE HOLES IN THE TKRAORS.

WE PUT IN A HANDICAP. A WHEELCHAIR RAMP SO SHE COULD T OUT OF THE CAR AND COME IN O THE HOME ON A WHEELCHAIR.

WE FILLED IN THIS AREA THAT WAS DIRT.

WE FILLED IT IN WITH CONCRETE. SO THERE WILL BE ONE SMOOTH EVEN PATH FOR HER. YOU SEE THE WINDOWS.

THEY WERE IN POOR CONDITION. WE AL PUT HURRICANE SHUTTERS WHH THE HOUSE DID NOT HAVE. THE KITCHEN WAS BADLY DAMAGED FM MOLD AND WET THAT IT HAD TOE COMPLETELY RIPPED OUT.

[02:35:03]

THIS WAS A NEW COUNTER. NEW COUNTER TOP.

SINK BUT THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE INITIALLY.

>> THIS SHOWS THE CONTRACTORS TE REMODELING OF THE HOME.

HERE WE COMPLETELY GUTTED THE BATHROOM.

MADE IT HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE. SO THE RESIDENT COULD STEP IN TE SHOWER AND INSTEAD OF THE TB WHICH SHE INITIALLY HAD.

SO $35,000 IS NOT ENOUGH. WE HAD TO PUT IN A NEW WATER HEART. A NEW AC-FURNI KR*E.

EVEN A NEW MAILBOX. IT HAD BEEN HIT.

IT WAS OLD. WE FIXED THIS SLIDING DOOR WHICH COULDN'T CLOSE. ARE YOU PROPOSING SOMETHING

TODAY? >> I'M PROMOTION AND ASKING IF E WOULD BE ALLOWED TO INCREASE THE $35,000 THAT'S ALREADY A LOTTED TO AT LEAST $50,000. THAT WAY WE'RE NOT COMING BACK D TO GET IN $35,000. THEY START AND LIKE THIS KITCHE.

YOU GO IN AND ONCE YOU GET IN TY ARE OLDER PIPES.

SO NOW THERE'S A CONSIDERATION F SOME THINGS THAT HAD NOT BEN CONSIDERED BY THE CONTRACTOR ONCE THEY GET IN AND SEE --I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS GOG TO BE THIS BUT NOW WE HAVE O

ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. >> IHAVE . HEARD OF A REHAB THAT

DIDN'T HAPPEN. >> BECAUSE THIS IS THE OLDEST -- THESE HOMES THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THERE.

SOME OF THE OLDER STOCKHOLMS. WE SET THAT LIMIT.

YOU ARE ASKING FOR A MINIMUM OF $50,000 DO IT FOR THE MOST F

THEM? >> IT WILL GIVE US A BETTER STAT WITHOUT HAVING TO COME BACK. LIKE I SAID, SOME OF THE HOMEOWNERS THAT WE HAD TO DY IN THE PAST IS BECAUSE WHEN THE INITIAL SAY SESZMENT IS GONE OUT WHEN BUILDING AND E CONTRACTS THAT GO OUT AND TY LOOK AND SAY THIS IS GOING O BE $50,000 WORTH OF WORK. IF WE ALREADY KNOW THAT 35 IS OR CAP WE'VE HAD TO TURN THOSE HOMEOWNERS AWAY.

THIS WAY WE CAN SAY WE CAN STAR. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO HELP AND

BENEFIT. >>

>> I JUST HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS.

MADAME MAYOR. >> JUST A PROXIMATE NUMBER.

>> HOW MANY PROJECTS HAVE WE DONE? WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT HERE? CAN YOU GIVE ME AN IDEA?

>> BETWEEN 2020 AND THIS YEAR, E ARE V DONE A TOTAL OF NINE PROJECTS. OUR SHIP ALLOCATION HAS DECREASED. ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS OUR SHIP ALLOCATION HAS FALLEN SO IS BECAUSE IN THE PAST WE HAVE NOT UTILIZED THOSE RESOURCES IN THIS.

WHEN THE STATE IS LOOKING AT TH, IF I'M GIVING YOU $250,000 D YOU'RE NOT USING IT WHY WILI GIVE YOU MORE WHEN I CAN SED IT TO ANOTHER CITY THAT IS MAXIMIZING.

WE ARE TRYING TO SET UP PROJECTS AND HELP OUR CITIZENS SO WE CAN GET MORE MONEY ALLOCATED TO US.

>> THAT IS FROM A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE.

GOING FORWARD. IN THESE CASES.

WE ARE NOT DEALING -- IT'S HOMEOWNERRED WITH IF HOMESTD EXCEPTION. IT HAS TO BE A HOME OWNER.

>> AND HOW MANY WOULD YOU -- WIH OUR CURRENT ALLOCATION IF WE WENT UP TO 50. HOW MANY WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO DO

ANNUALLY ABOUT? >> WHEN WOULD THIS KICK IN?

>> WHAT WOULD HAPPEN DIFFERENTLY AND WHEN?

>>> WE WOULD INCREASE ON THE HAB FROM $35,000 TO $50,000.

[02:40:06]

ACCEPT A REHAB THAT -- >> MAYBE SOMETHING THAT IS ALREADY APPLIED THAT YOU HAD TO TURN DOWN.

>> I USED TO REHAB HOUSES ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTH SECTION. WE WERE IN A BUSINESS.

I WILL TELL YOU MY EXPERIENCE IS THAT A LOT OF THE OLDER STOCK -- THEY DEALT WITH ORANGEBURG.

SOME OF YOU MIGHT LAUGH AT THAT. OR STKAPBLGBURG DID ITS JOB.

THEY TOOK FIBER PULP AND MIXED T WITH TAR AND STUFF LIKE THAT AND BECAME THE WASTE WATER PIPE FOR A HOME.

>>ER EVERYBODY HAD TO REPLACE THESE THINGS.

WHEN YOU WALKED IN AND TO* ACCES A HOME AND TOOK A LOOK AT I.

YOU DON'T GET TO SEE THESE THINGS.

THEY ARE NOT THERE. THERE ARE SURPRISES THAT COME DN THE LINE AND THEY ARE NOT CHEAP.

>> THE TPRO*L COPPER THAT WE HAA LONG TIME AGO.

>> 50 YEARS. IT'S OVER.

YOU WILL SPEND $15,000-$20,000 N THAT HOUSE AND NOT DO ANYTHG TO MAKE IT LOOK BETTER. I UNDERSTAND THAT PERFECTLY.

IT BECOMES OVERWHELMING WHEN YOU ARE IN THERE AND TAKING A LK AT SOME OF THE PICK PICTURES YOU HAD OF THE KITCHENS AND THE BATHROOMS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

>> YOU ARE GOING OH MY GOSH. BUT THAT'S -- THAT'S THE EASY WORK. THE HARD WORK IS UNDER THE GROUND. YOU HAVE TO MAKE THAT TO MAKE SE THE MONEY YOU'RE PUTTING IN THIS THING GOES FORWARD YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL E GOOD BONES OF THAT BUILDINGS THERE. SO I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT.

I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM AT ALL WITH MOVING THAT UP A LITTLE BIT KNOWING THAT'S WHAT YOUE TALKING ABOUT.

>>> >>> I AGREE.

I'M GOOD WITH THE NUMBER AND THE THE REQUEST.

WHEN YOU HAVE AN APPLICANT COME FORWARD AND THERE'S A NUMBER GIVEN OUT AND IT'S ABOVE 35R IN THIS CASE NOW 50 IF WE VE ON IT WHEN IT COMES BACK TOS FOR A VOTE.

THEY REDUCE THE SCOPE TO GET THM IN AND THRESHOLD.

>> IN WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE HE IF IT'S CRITICAL COMPONENTS YOU CAN'T. YOU JUST HAVE TO DENY THEM.

BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO GO IN AND SOME THINGS WHEN THERE A LOT OF CRITICAL THINGS. IF WE LEAVE THE HOME DOING HALF THE JOB AND THERE ARE OTHER CRITICAL THINGS THAT ARE LET UNATTENDED THEN WE ARE LIABE IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN.

ONCE WE -- >> I UNDERSTAND THAN PART.

>> LET'S SAY YOU GO IN AND WANTD DO THE KITCHEN AND THE BATHROOM AND AN AIR CONDITIONER.

ALL THOSE NUMBERS COME IN THAT'S OVER $50,000 AND SAY LET'S PULL BACK A LITTLE BIT AND ONLY DO THE AC SYSTEM.

IS THAT NOT AN OPTION? THAT DOESN'T DEAL WITH STRUCTURE AND DOESN'T DEAL WITH ELEMES OF A KITCHEN FOR INSTANCE.

>> I'M NOT SAYING WE SHOULDN'T O IT.

I'M ASKING. >> IT IS AN OPTION TO REMOVE SOE ITEMS ESPECIALLY IF IT'S JUT FOR AESTHETICS OFF OF THE SCOPE. MOSTLY WHAT WE HAVE COME IN CONTACT WITH AND IS JUST THE NUMBER OF ITEMS THAT ARE NECESSARY FOR THE HOUSE AND FOR THE HOMEOWNER TO OPEN TE HOME. I'M NOT ADVICING TO DO IT THAT WAY. I'M JUST ASKING THE QUESTION.

THIS IS GOOD. THEY JUST BUMPED MY NUMBERS. I WILL ADD AN EXTRA 5% ON MY NUMBERS.

THE? I BUILDING INSPECTORS GO IN FIRT AND THEY GIVE A COST ESTIMATE.

WE KNOW WE ALREADY KNOW WHAT IT SHOULD BE FROM THE CITY

INSPECTORS. >> THIS IS WHAT'S WRONG.

THIS IS WHAT WE WANT YOU TO LOOK AT.

>> IF THIS GOES BACK WAY OVER WT THE CITY'S BUILDING INSPECTR

COMES OVER. >> IT LIKES IF YOU HAVE

[02:45:17]

INSURANCE. >> LIT GO RIGHT UP UP THERE.

>> HOW DO WE GET MORE MONEY? DO WE HAVE PLAN FORWARD FOR THA.

>> THE NEED IS OBVIOUSLY THERE. >> .

>> IN SOME SITUATIONS WHERE PEOE HAVE NOT HAD SOME WATER IN E HOUSE. THAT'S A CRITICAL NEED AND IN

2021. >> HOW DO WE GET MORE MONEY FOR

THIS? >> I WILL LET SHIELA TALK ABOUT THIS, TOO. ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS IS LIKE I SAID PREVIOUSLY. MAKING SURE THAT THE FUNDS THATE

ARE ALLOCATED ARE USED. >> SO WE WILL NOT HAVE THAT PROBLEM. WE WILL SPEND ALL THE MONEY.

>> LIT TRY. COVID-19 DOESN'T COME UP OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. WE HAVE PLANS AND PROJECTS IN

PLACE. >> ALSO.

AND I WILL LET SHIELA TALK MORE ABOUT THIS.

WE WERE JUST AWARDED THE FLORIDA HOUSING COALITION GRANT.

THAT TECHNICAL ASSISTANT GRANT. >> IT'S GOING TO ALLOW US TO POSSIBLY WORK WITH SOME OF R SHIFT FUNDS AND OTHER AGENCS TO HELP CREATE PROJECTS AND SET US UP FOR A POSSIBILITYO GET MORE FUNDING AS WELL AS LONG AS THOSE PROJECTS ARE N PLACE. YOU CAN EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT MOE OF THAT. ONCE WE HAVE ROBUST NEW CONSTRUCTION GOING ON THAT'S WHEN WE RECEIVE MORE MONEY.

WE ARE USING THE FUNDS TO DEVELP NEWER HOME STOCK AND THE CONSTRUCTION IS A LITTLE MOE AGGRESSIVE THAN THAT'S HOW E

GET MORE FUNDS. >> WE KNOW THE NEED IS THERE.

>> YEAH. >> SO WE JUST HAVE TO BE ABOUT T TO CONSTANTLY KEEP SPENDING THE MONEY.

>> WE HAVE TO HELP THE CITIZENS BUT IF WE USE THAT MONEY TO BUILD A NEW HOUSE AND THEY E THAT TECHNICAL GRANT TO HELP THAT PERSON UNDER STAND HOWO FINANCIAL AND GET IN A HOUS.

. IT'S MAYBE DOING ONE TOTAL TEAR DOWN AND REBUILD IN THOSE AREAS ANNUALLY.

OF -- WE CAN CAP IT AT $150,000R SO.

WE SPOKE WITH MR. MIMS TO AN AWD OF.

>> TEAR IT DOWN FOR $150,000. >> THE $50,000.

>> . AND WE WANTED TO DEMOLISH.

WE KNOW A PLACE YOU CAN GO. . THE DIFFERENCE --.

WHAT'S OUR PROCESS. I THEY'S GREAT. .

IT ELIGIBLE -- AND THEN WE WILL COME TO YOU TO --.

AND AND WE WILL BE ABLE TO DO THAT. .

2021, '22 WIN. >> AND IT WILL BE THE '-RB '22 NUMBERS AND TAKE THE BUDGET OFF OF THAT.

>> . >> IT'S THAT WE CAN AND -- AND I

[02:50:12]

THAT'S ANY TIME. AND DIVERSITY AND -- AND IN OUR

[f. Diversity, Equity, and inclusion (DEI) Report]

THIS IS A REPORT AS TO OUR PROGRESS. .

AND PROVIDE ITS PRESENTATION. YOU LOOK SO DIFFERENT.

BUT BEFORE THAT WHEY WOULD LIKEO DO.

I AM CERTIFIED TO HAVE A CERTIFICATION. AND THE BOYS HAD 7 COMPONENTS. THAT'S TWO HOURS EACH. WE TALKED ABOUT MOTION INTELLIGENCE AD STEREOTYPES AND -- I WON'T O IN ANY OF THOSE DETAILS. . ONE ON THE INSIDE.

AND THE OTHER MUNICIPALITIES WIL BE DOING.

AND THEY TALKED ABOUT THAT --. THAT'S THE OH MOTIONS AND ALL TT GOOD STUFF. IT'S STEREOTYPES AND BIASES.

ONE OF THE THINGS ONE OF THE INSTRUCTORS. .

I DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE. BEFORI TOOK THIS COURSE ALL I THOUT IS HERE WE GO AGAIN. IT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING.

IT WILL BE ALL ABOUT RAISE AND WHAT WE HAVE TO DO FOR THESE PEOPLE AND HOW LIT LOOK. THT WAS WAY OFF. .

-- AND THAT'S TIMES AND WE WILL END UP LOOKING AT EVERYTHIN.

AND OUR DISABILITIES AND AND AND ALL OF THAT.

AND THE HORIZON AND WE TALKED ABOUT DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION. IT'S ALL THE WAYS THAT WE JUST MENTIONED THAT WHETHER YOU'E MALE OR FEMALE OUR SIZE OUR RACE AGAIN. IN REGARDS TO AND THE OPPORTUNIY AND VENTS MADE IT FOR ALL PEOPLE.

THE OPPORTUNITY WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE SOME AREAS OF OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE NEAT O ENGAGE IN.

AND YOU WILL SEE THE SURVEY AT E VERY END THAT WE DID WITH TE EMPLOYEES WHICH WAS REAL TEL TALE. .

OUR INCLUSION IS NOT JUST HAVING THEIR SEAT AT THE TABLE BUT HAVING THE VOICE. WHAT YOU TALKED ABOUT -- AND YOU HAPPEN IN THE AFTER WE SPEAK ABOUT CERTAIN SITUATIONS.

CHECK THE EXTRA BOX WITH -- WE COMPLETED THE SURVEY.

WE'VE DONE THIS CHECK. . AND THIS IS FOR THE LONG HAUL.

[02:55:06]

. IN ORDER FOR THIS TO STICK EVERYONE AND PARTICIPATE IN THIS. -- WE DO IT BY DEPARTMENT.

WE HAD ONE WEEK TO DO IT. AND I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED THAT WE LEAD MORE. AND IT HAS AN ENVIRONMENT FOR FE AND OPEN EXPRESSION. THAT IS ON THE NEXT PAGE.% MANAGEMENT DEMONSTRATES THE COMMITMENT TO MEETING THE NEEDS OF ITS EMPLOY KWRAOET. THE IDEAS AND OPINIONS.

WE HAD 47%. MOVE THEM OVER -- AND WHAT WE WL DO AND WE HAVE -- AND REAL QUICKLY GET THE PERSPECTIVE FROM DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND DIFFERENT VOICES.

SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT IT. . AND AS LONG AS IT DEMONSTRATES E WILL GO TO THE NEXT ONE. LET'S GO DOWN TO THE RACIAL AGEA AND ARE NOT TOLLLATED AT THS TIME.

WE DO HAVE A FEW EMPLOYEES THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A TRUE OR FALSE. WE WERE VERY FIRM.

AS FAR AS THE QUESTIONS ARE CONCERNED BECAUSE DOING RESEARCH IS SAID -- AND DISREGARD.

THE NUMBERS NEXT TO THE QUESTIOS THAT ARE HERE.

SO, IF WE CAN SEE LIKE A TOTAL RESPONSE IS 174, 175.

I'M GOING TO GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE.

WE HAD 179 EMPLOYEES THAT ACTUAY RESPONDED OUT OF 325 SO LETE BE A LITTLE -- WE HAD MORE THAN THAT.

AS FAR AS TURNING THEIR SURVEYSN A TIMELY MANNER WE HAD 179.

THE CUTOFF DATE WAS THE FIFTH OF AUGUST.

IF THAT'S THE CUTOFF DATE I HAD SOME SLIP UNDER MY DOOR THAT FRIDAY OR THAT MONDAY MORNI. IT'S NOT THAT SOME OF THEM DIDNT PARTICIPATE. IT'S THAT SOME OF THEM DIDN'T TN THEIR VARIES IN A TIMELY MATTER.

IT'S 55% OF THE EMPLOYEES THIS PARTICIPATED.

ACCORDING TO STATISTICS 30%-40*% IS -- WE'VE DONE A FANTASTIC JOB WITH GETTING PEOPLE TO TRUST THE SYSTEM AND TRUST THAT IT'S DEFINITELY ANONYMOUS.

THERE WERE NO NAMES ON THEM SO I THINK THAT AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE A PLACE WHERE IF THEY WANTED TO DISCLOSE THEY COUD HAVE. BUT THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE SO FAR.

SO THE NEXT STEPS AS I SAID WE WILL FORM THE DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND CHAMPION COMMITTS AND WE HAD 88 EMPLOYEES SAID THEY WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE.

[03:00:01]

THIS IS THROUGH FLORIDA LEAGUE F CITIES ANNEX VARSITY.

>> IS IT SCOTT? >>> .

HE'S EXCELLENT. >> YES, HE IS.

ANY QUESTIONS? THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT.

>> SO, CAN COMMISSIONERS COME DO THE NOVEMBER 10TH

TRAINING? >> ABSOLUTEPY.

>> IF WE WILL HAVE A UNCOMFORTAE DISCUSSION.

IT'S BEST IF WE ARE DEPARTMENT HEADS.

WE CAN DO SOMETHING FOR THE CITY COMMISSION IF YOU WOULD LIK.

YOU CAN DEFINITELY INVOLVE A SESSION SUCH AS THAT INTO YR

UPCOMING STRATEGIC PLANNING. >> LET ME APPLAUD FOR UNDERTAKIG THIS. THIS IS A VERY HOT TOPIC AND I'M GLAD THAT THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE IS BEING VERY PROACTE IN TAKING A HARD LOOK AT THIS.

THERE ARE MANY LAYERS TO THIS. LIT COME DOWN TO ALSO OUR INVESTMENT AND COMMUNITY BEYOND THIS AS A WHOLE FINANCIAL COMPONENT OF THIS BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE STARTING TO AT LEAST FROM AN INTERNAL STAKE HOLDER STANDPOINT UNDERSTAND WHEREE ARE IN OUR CITIZENS IN THE WORK COMMUNITY OF THE CITY F FORT PIERCE.

GETTING US PREPARED AND UNDERSTANDING WHERE THESE CHALLENGES MAY BE AND WORKIG THROUGH THAT.

THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS WILL BE BROUGHT BEFORE YOU TO MYSELF OR THE CITY COMMISSION FOR IMPLEMENTATION WITH THE REQUIRED RESOURCES OR FUNDING.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE KEEP THE CITY COMMISSION ADVISED AS TO WHAT THE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE.

YOU ALL NEED TO KNOW THE TEMPERATURE OF YOUR ORGANIZATION AND BEFORE WE EVEN BRANCH OUT IN THE COMMUNITY. WE NEED TO MAKE SURE OUR ORGANIZATION IS UP TO PAR AS FAR AS THE DELAWARE I IS CONCERNED. SO THAT'S HOW WE ENVISION THAT

WILL HAPPEN. >>> THAT'S GOOD.

SUNRISE THEATER YOU HEARD ABOUT THEM TODAY. THE ONE I THINK IS REALLY EYE OPENING WAS THE TDC. WE EXPECTED REVENUES TO BE DOWN AND TAX AND EUFR THING ELSE LIKE THAT AND ACTIVITIES.

WE ARE DUMBFOUNDED. WE EXPECT IT TO BE LOW.

THERE'S A COMPLETE REPORT ON IT. DO I NOT HAVE IT.

IT'S SOMETHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE.

>> WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT. >>LY GET THAT FOR YOU.

IT JUST TOOK OVER OUR WHOLE MEETING BECAUSE WE ALL ANTICIPATED THAT THIS YEAR S NOT GOING TO BE ONE THAT WOD BE RECORD BREAKING AND EVER SINCE WE HIT THAT APRIL, MAY AND JUNE TYPE EVERYTHING STARTED TO CHANGE.

>> FOLKS ARE IN THE COMMUNITY. THEY CONSTANTLY LOOKING AT THE VIDEOS, THE FACEBOOK, ALL OF THE DIFFERENT SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS. THEY ARE ALL ASKING QUESTIONS AD WE'RE VERY MUCH INVOLVE WITH MOVING FORWARD WHICH SHOULDE SOMEONE INDICATIVE OF THOUSD NEXT YEAR IS GOING TO BE.

[03:10:02]

>>> AND THAT'S ABOUT IT. >>> A COUPLE THINGS.

IF THEY CAN PARK THE MAIN STREEI MET WITH THEM THIS WEEK.

I THINK TOMORROW WE'LL BE MAKINA FINAL DECISION ON THE RESOLUTION FOR THAT. SO, THEY HAVE AN IMBENDING MOVE COMING UP THAT THEY WILL BE ACTUALLY PHYSICALLY RELOCATG FROM THE JACKIE BUILDING TO THE MEANS COURT.

SO THEY'VE SIGNED THAT CONTRACT AND AGREEMENT TO MOVE FORWAD WITH THAT. THAT COMMITTEE IS CONTINUED TO E VERY BUSY AND JUST GOT A NES LETTER FROM THEM UPDATING IN SOME ARTICLES FROM THE MAIN STREET.

IF YOU ARE NOT RECEIVING THAT LT ME KNOW AND I WILL LET THEM KNOW AND MAKE SURE YOU OWN A DISTRIBUTION LIST BECAUSE TY ARE PUT OUGHT THEIR LIGHTS N THE COMMUNITY.

>> AND SO YEAH WE ARE ANTICIPATG A BIG MOVE HERE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS TO PHYSICALY MOVE SO THAT'S CONSUMING A T

OF THAT. >> THERE ARE ALSO VERY EXCITED ABOUT BEING IN A THAT LOCATN BECAUSE IT GIVES THAT COMMITTEE AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT THE SERIES MAYBE DOG IT IN A SMALLER MORE CONDEND BECAUSE THERE'S OPEN SPACE THERE. SO PEOPLE CAN PROBABLY PARK AND LISTEN AN ENJOY THAT. THAT WAS A GREAT POINT OF DISCUSSION AND WE ARE LOOKIG AT SOME OTHER THINGS VIRTUAY AS WELL AS A RESULT OF THAT. SO, VERY ENGAGED THERE.

MADAME MAYOR YOU AND I SIT ON TE FIRE BOARD.

THINGS ARE ALWAYS INTERESTING THERE.

ONLY PIECE I ADD IS WE ARE IN BUDGET FAR FOR THAT AND BUDT HEARINGS. IT'S BEEN AN INTERESTING EXPERIENCE AND LEARNING EXPERIENCE NOR ME BUT I THIK MORE IMPORTANTLY UNDERSTANDG WHAT THEY DO AND HOW THEY DO IT IS PROBABLY SOMETHING THT THE FIRE BOARD NEEDS TO DO A BETTER JOB OF TELLING THEIR STORIES AND HOW WE KNOW -- E THINGS THEY DO TO PROVIDE SERVICES FOR THIS COMMUNITY.

LOOK FAR TO COME MORE. I HAD SOME CONVERSATION AND WILL HAVE SOME CONVERSATION ABOUT CHIEF ABOUT MAKING SURE THE PEOPLE AND THE COMMUNITY UNDERSTAND WHY THINGS ARE DE A CERTAIN WAY AND WHY THINGS ARE PUT IN PLACE.

FIRE BOARD IS MOVING ALONG PRETY WELL NO ISSUES THERE TO REPT AND TPO I MISSED THE LAST MEETING AND EVERYTHING REPOT

THERE. >> AM I MISSING ANYTHING?

I THINK THAT'S IT. >> IHAVE A QUESTION.

ON THE FIRE BOARD. DO THEY GIVE INFORMATION ABOUT

RESERVE ACCOUNTS? >>> I HAVEN'T HEARD A REPORT ON THE HAVE EVERYING FUNDING IA COUPLE YEARS.

I KNOW AT ONE POINT IT WAS GETTG PRETTY LOW.

>> WE TALKED ABOUT THAT. >>

>> THAT WAS IN THE LAST MEETING. >> I THINK ON WHAT THE FAST EXTD KHURS HAS COME TO AN END. SOME OF THE AGREEMENTS THEY WERE MAKING TO MAKE SURE THAT THY COULD PAY FOR CERTAIN SAY IS THEY WERE ACQUIRING. BUT THAT IS VERY MUCH SO IN THE FOREFRONT OF DISCUSSION THE OTHER DAY ABOUT RESERVES AND GETTING TO A POINT WHERE ITS GETTING PRETTY LOW AND THAT ALL RESOLVED AROUND THE -- E ARE HAVING THAT CONVERSATIO.

SO, I THINK GOING FORWARD IT'S ANTICIPATED THAT WE WILL ANTICIPATE BUILDING THEM BAK UP.

I THINK THOSE COMMISSIONER PEROA AND MAYBE THOSE GUYS WHO SERVED ON THERE BEFORE TO ME SURE THERE WERE RESERVES BECAUSE WITH F WE DIDN'T, WE WILL HAVE A PROBLEM OUT THERE. THEY ARE PRETTY LOW.

THEY ARE GETTING PRETTY LOW. >> I JUST KNOW THE NUMBERS THERE ARE CONVERSATION A COUPLE YEARS AGO THAT I REMEMBER HW TO OFFSET THE EXPENSES. ONE OF THE WAY WAS TO CREATE MOE BILLING SERVICES WHETHER ITS BILLING FOR THE RIDES OR THE

FIRE ALARM TYPE SERVICES. >> THOSE THINGS WERE ALL INCLUSE OVER THE YEARS AND THEY HAVE BEEN PAR CELLED OUT TO GAIN MORE REVENUE. I THOUGHT IT WAS UNIQUE.

>> THE EXPENSES VERSUS THE REVEE SIDE AND WHAT CREATIVE WAYS

WILL BRING IT. >> I THINK THEY ARE HOLDING THER OWN WITH THAT. I THIS *R THINK THE FIRE BUDGETS WE NEED TO LOOK AT QUITE FRANKLY WITH THAT.

WE ARE GOING THROUGH SOME EXPENSE.

THE COUNTY IS GROWING AND LIT REQUIRE FOR SOME ADDITIONAL EXPENDITURES FOR BUILDINGS D TRUCKS.

ONE OF THE THINGS I'M CONCERNED ABOUT TOO IS WE TALKED ABOUT IT BUT WE PICKED SERVICES TO THE TURNPIKE AT 95.

[03:15:13]

THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF ACCIDENTS OUT THERE ON THE 95 AND

TURNPIKES. >> THAT'S THE ONE THAT SHOULD BE

BILLED. >> SHOULD BE BILLING BUT YET

STILL -- >> THE STATEMENT --

>> THEY DON'T IMPACT THE HERE. SO THE CITIZENS IS THE MILL AND.

>> IF I MAY. IF I RECALL.

WITH ALL THE DEVELOPMENT THAT'S GOING ON ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTH END OF THE COUNTY -- E FIRE DISTRICT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT AND IT'S GOING TO E AT LEAST TWO YEARS BEFORE TY GET ANY TYPE OF REVENUES FRM THE TAXES ON THAT.

IT PUT ASSISTANCE LOT OF PRESSUE ON THE BUDGET GOING FORWARD.

>> . >> I THINK TO RESPOND TO THAT AD CHIEF BROUGHT THIS AND MADEE AWEAR OF IT.

THE ONE TKPWAPBLG THAT WE HAVE THAT MAY HELP US WITH HAVE EVERY IS OUR COMMERCIAL KWOP DEVELOPMENT AN MORE SO IN TE RESIDENTIAL. IS THAT IT? LY PICK UP ON THE FIRE BOARD THT I GET THE PRESS REHRAOEZS FM THE GOVERNOR. HE HAS APPOINTED SOMEBODY TO THE FIRE BOARD. IT'S TRAGIC LEONARD WITH A AND G POOLS. I JUST SAW THAT OVER THE WEEKEN.

THAT THAT'S EXCITING. WE WILL HAVE THE FULL BOARD NOW.

SO WE DID HAVE A PERSON SPEAKING IN PUBLIC COMMENT AT THE FIE BOARD ASKING TWO VERY COMMOY ASKED QUESTIONS.

SOMEONE WHY ARE THOSE TWO VEHICS HAPPENING IN ACCIDENT SCENE.

>> EVERYBODY WANTS TO KNOW THAT. >> I DID SEE ON SOCIAL MEDIA THY

POSTERIORED THAT. >> EVEN THOUGH IT'S PROPRIETARIRY. THEY HAVE TO -- THEY CAN'T FIND OUT EVERYTHING ABOUT IT BUT THEY ARE GOING TO BE AND WE ARE GOING TO GET IN DESIGN BILL WITH GLOBAL TECH AND WH HAS KEL AND WITH HASEN AND THEY HELP US WITH THE FINANCIAL PART OF IT AND AS WELL AS THE TECHNICAL PART F IT AND THEN AT THAT POINT WHICH IS SOMEWHERE IN APRILE WILL KNOW HOW MUCH IT'S GOIG TO COST FOR THE PROXIMATE CT FOR THE REGULAR PAIR. IF THERE IS A CHARGE IT WILL BE FOR WHAT THER AND WASTE WATR REPAIRS.

THAT'S VERY CONSENSUAL RIGHT NOW BUT THAT'S KIND OF WHAT IS PLANNED AND SO THAT WAS A BG DECISION THAT WE MADE AT THE LAST MEETING AT THE NEXT MEETING I'D ASK FOR US TO

[03:20:02]

THAT HAD BEEN ORIGINALLY TALKED ABOUT AS BEING ON AFTER THE NEW BOARD MEMBER WAS PINTED. AND I ASKED THAT IT BE BROUGHT P WITH THE CURRENT BOARD BECAE OF WE'RE NOT SURE WHEN THE W BOARD MEMBER IS GOING TO BEN AND I FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT THAT WE START THIS CONVERSATION AND GET THIS MOVING BECAUSE IT DOES -- IT ENDS TAKING A LOT OF TIME TO DO. HE SENT OUT TO OUR BOARD AND I BROUGHT IT UP AT THE LAST BOARD MEETING IN MY BOARD COMMENTS THAT I HAD READ THM AND I HAD SOME SERIOUS CONCERNS WITH SEVERAL OF THM INCLUDING THE MOST SERIOUS CONCERN I HAD WAS THAT IT WS SAID THAT THE DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES APPOINTS THE ATTORNEY FOR THE FPUA.

>> I SAID TO THE BOARD PLEASE RD THESE POLICIES AND PROCEDURS AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THT WE AGREE WITH THEM AND WE UNDERSTAND THEM AND THEY ARE CORRECT BECAUSE I FIND THATO BE ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE POSITIVELY NOT CORRECT.

I WANTED EVERYBODY TO HAVE THEIR EYES ON THEM.

I WANTED TO DISCUSS IT AT THE BOARD LEVEL.

THE DECISION IS YOURS ALONE. EVER IN THE END IT'S YOUR DECISION. SO I DON'T TAKE FOUR HOURS OF ETHICS EVERY YEAR FOR NOTHING?

RIGHT? >> WE LEARNED THAT.

>> SO THERE'S SOME THINGS I WAS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT IN THAT AND SO THAT IS GOING TO BE N THE NEXT FBUA BOARD MEETING.

>> DID THE BOARD TAKE THAT? >> IN THE POLICIES AND PROCEDURS IT'S RECOMMENDED BUT IT'S NT REQUIRED.

AND I TALKING ABOUT IT IN THE LT BOARD MEMBER.

IT'S NOT REQUIRED. I THINK IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD DO. THAT THE FPUA BOARD SHOULD DO.

ABSOLUTELY. AND SO, THAT'S ALL THE EXCITEMET I CAN HANDLE ON THE FPUA. AND THE TREASURE COAST CITIES IS -- THE LEGISLATURE IS GOG TO BE MEETING PRETTY SOON.

SO, THAT'S HAPPENING AND COUNSEL OF LOW LOCAL GOVERNMENTS HAA GOOD PRESENTATION ABOUT THE THING THAT WE JUST PASSED TE

[03:25:01]

SO, WE'RE GOOD WITH THAT. I THINK THAT IS ALL.

AND IF THERE'S NOTHING ARE WE READY FOR ADJOURNMENT?

>> OKAY. WE'RE ADJOURNED.
