[G.2. Approve the wastewater portion of Edwards Road W/WW Expansion Project and associated Post Budgeted Project/Budgeted Request in the amount of $250,000.]

NICE PRESENTATION. >> THANK YOU.

THE NEXT ITEM REQUEST APPROVAL FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE WASTEWATER PIECE FOR FLEED FLEETWOOD ACRES. JOSH WILL MAKE THE PRESENTATION. THANK YOU MR. TOMPECK.

GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

AS THE PART OF FPUA FIVE-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN, WATER AND WASTEWATER ENGINEERING STAFF IDENTIFIED PROJECT LOCATIONS THAT WILL INCLUDE INSTALLATION OF WATER MAINS, SANITARY SEWER MAINS.

SURFACES AND FIRE HYDRANTS IN ORDER TO WORRY MUNICIPAL WATER AND WASTEWATER TO EXISTING HOMEOWNERS WITHIN OUR SERVICE AREA. IN FISCAL YEAR 2019.

STAFF IDENTIFIED THE NEIGHBORHOOD LOCATED JUST SOUTHEAST OF THE INTERSECTION OF EDWARD ROAD AND 25TH. THIS NEIGHBORHOOD CONSIST OF 83 SINGLE FAMILY HOMES THAT WERE CURRENTLY SERVED BY PRIVATE WELLS AND SEPTIC SYSTEM.

THAT WOULD BE WASTEWATER EXPANSION PROJECT OR KNOWN AS FLEETWOOD ACRES. IN LATE 2019 BLUE GOOSE CONSTRUCTION STARTED THE WATER MAIN AND COMPLETED THIS PART OF THE PROJECT IN FEBRUARY OF 2020.

ALTERNATE THAT TIME THE SEWER WASN'T CONSTRUCTED.

FPUA WAS LOOKING AND WORKING WITH THE PARTNER AGENCY STAFF AND CONTRACTOR TO DEVELOP THIS NEW PROCESS AND PROCEDURES. LOW PURSUER SYSTEM ALLOWS EACH HOMEOWNER TO HAVE PALM STATION TO DELIVER WASTEWATER DIRECTLY TO ALL WASTEWATER SYSTEMS. THIS COST EFFECTIVE WAY TO SUPPLY WASTEWATER SERVICE TO OUR SERVICE WITHOUT THE HIGH PRICE TAG.

A BUDGET TRANSFER OF $250,000 IS BEING REQUESTED.

TOTAL CONSTRUCTION COST APPROXIMATEBLY 240,000 WITH REMAINING 10,000 TO FUND STAFF COST AND INSPECTIONS.

FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE ON THIS EXISTING PURCHASE ORDER OF THE CONTRACTOR WHICH CAN BE TRANSFERRED TO THIS PROJECT.

THE USE OF OUR YEAR TO PRICE CONTRACTOR WHICH THERE IS

[00:35:01]

MOST COST EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT METHOD TO CONSTRUCT THE IMPROVE. IF BOARD HAS ANY QUESTIONS I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.

>> ANY QUESTIONS? >> I HAVE A QUESTION.

IS THIS -- THIS THE ONE WE GOT A GRANT FOR; ISN'T THAT

RIGHT, MR. TOMPECK? >> RIGHT.

>> THIS THE GOOD PROJECT. >> THANK YOU.

ABSOLUTELY. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.

MR. CHAIR? >> YES.

>> MR. MILLER, YOU MENTIONED THAT IT'S A GREAT SEWER COMPARED TO GRAVITY SEWER. AND THEN WHAT THE PROS AND

CONS OF EACH SYSTEM ARE. >> ABSOLUTELY.

THE COST IS 2 TO 3 TIMES. GRAVITY SEWER YOU HAVE TO GO INTO THE ROAD. YOU HAVE TO DO REPAIR THE ROAD. THERE'S A LOT OF HIGH COST IN THAT. WITH THIS SYSTEM WHICH FPUA WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO FOR QUITE SOMETIME.

AND THANKS TO GRANT WE WERE ABLE TO PUSH FORWARD ON THIS PROJECT HERE. BECAUSE WE WANT TO EXPAND THIS INTO OUR SYSTEM AS WELL.

THIS ALLOWS US TO GO THROUGH AND DRILL IN THE RIGHT OFWAYS. LESS INVASIVE AND THE TIME FRAME. TIME FRAME OF GRAVITY SYSTEM COULD TAKE 6 TO 8 MONTHS. WE CAN DO THIS IN THREE

MONTHS AND BE IN AND OUT. >> VERY GOOD.

>> VERY GOOD. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

>> I MOVE APPROVAL. >> SECOND.

>> >> PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.

[G.3. Approve the Grant Agreement with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) for the South Hutchinson Island Low Income Sewer Infrastructure Reconstruction Grant, in the amount of $900,000. The grant will be effective upon execution and end on March 31, 2024.]

>> AND SPEAKING OF GRANTS. THE NEXT ITEM REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL OF THE GRANT AGREEMENT WITH THE DEP FOR SEWER LINING WORK ON SOUTH HUTCHINSON ISLAND AND BEAU HUTCHINSON WILL MAKE THE PRESENTATION.

>> THANK YOU MR. TOMPECK. GOOD AFTERNOON, MR. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. I PUT THIS MAP UP HERE AS THE VISUAL REFERENCE BUT I PROMISE IT'S NOT OUR POINT.

YOU WILL NOT HAVE DEATH BY POWER POINT TODAY.

FIRST OFF I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS A LITTLE BIT OF SOME CON FOOULGS IN -- CONFUSION IN THE GRANT TITLE.

THIS LISTED AS LOW-INCOME GRANT.

IT'S NOT A LOW-INCOME AREA AND YOUR STAFF DIDN'T REPRESENT THAT TO THE STATED.

THAT IS MORE REPRESENTATIVE OF OVERALL PROJECT AND ALSO THE STATE ASKED WHEN THIS WAS AWARDED TO OR THEY ASKED BUT THEN THEY DID IT. THEY TACKED THIS ON FLEET WOOD ACRES GRANT. IT'S THE SAME GRANTED A MINUTE ADMINISTRATOR. THAT'S THEIR SUGGESTION.

THIS PARTICULAR GRANTS AWARDED FOR ENVIRONMENTAL REASONS. WE TALKED ABOUT THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF THE STORMWATER THAT GETS INTO THE WASTEWATER SYSTEM. AND CAUSES POTENTIAL OVERFLOWS AT PLANTS AND LIFT STATIONS.

THAT PROJECT WORKS IN REVERSE AS WELL.

WHEN YOU'RE IN AREAS SUCH AS SOUTH BEACH TIDAL INFLUENCE AND THE WASTEWATER FLOWS ARE HIGH.

WATER WASTE CAN GET OUT OF THE PIPES GO INTO THE ENVIRONMENT. AND ENDS UP IN THE LAGOON OCEAN AND WE KNOW THAT'S A BAD THING.

JUST A QUICK MOMENT FOR THOSE IN TV LAND.

THE LINING WHERE YOU HAVE YOUR OLD CLAY PIPES WITH CRACKS AND LEAKS AND STUFF. IT'S A PROCESS WHERE YOU CAN EFFECTIVELY CONSTRUCT A NEW MAIN INSIDE OF THE EXISTING MAIN WITHOUT HAVING TO TEAR UP THE STREETS.

AND IT IS ABOUT 10% COST. IT'S A GREAT VALUE AND TECHNOLOGY FOR ACCOMPLISHING THIS MISSION.

I WANT TO TAKE A SECOND TO GIVE YOU A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF ALL OF THE GRANTS THAT WE HAVE GOING ON RIGHT NOW.

FIRST OFF IS THE SANARY SEWER IMPROVEMENT.

THAT'S A DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY GRANT.

THIS IS THE ONE THAT THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL HELPED US WITH AND BOTH PETE AND JOE REALLY KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK FOR US. THAT WAS A WIN FOR US.

THAT'S UNDER CONSTRUCTION NOW.

FLEETWOOD ACRES MR. MILLER HAD MENTIONED THE GRANT PORTION OF THAT IS 550,000. THAT'S USED TO HELP THE HOMEOWNERS COST ON THAT. THAT'S 550.

THAT'S LAST DEP FUNDED GRANT.

[00:40:02]

IF YOU LOOK AT THE MAP, WE HAVE OUR AREA ONE OR OUR CENTRAL SERVICE AREA OR THE DOWNTOWN LINE PROJECT.

THAT'S A DEO FUNDED PROJECT AT 3.8 MILLION DOLLARS.

WE HAVE THE GRANT OF THIS PRESENTATION THE SOUTH BEACH LINING WHICH IS 900,000. WE ALSO HAVE A REQUEST IN WITH THE DEP FOR THIS YEAR FOR ANOTHER 900,000 FOR WHAT YOU SEE ON THE MAP HERE AS FPUA AREA THREE.

WHEN YOU TOTAL ALL THOSE UP. WE END UP 7.2 MILLION OF GRANTS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN ALLOCATED OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS WITH THE POTENTIAL OF GOINGOR 8 MILLION A LITTLE BIT LATER ON THIS YEAR.

AND THESE GRANTS I HAVE TO SAY ARE BECAUSE OF OUR FEARLESS LEADER MR. TOMPECK. HE RECOGNIZED THE OPPORTUNITY OUT THERE. AND MORE IMPORTANTLY AND MORE DIFFICULT HE FOUND A TOOL TO GET THE GRANTS FOR US. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT. WITHOUT FURTHER ADO STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE RECONSTRUCTION GRANT.

IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS, I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER

THEM. >> LET ME ADD ONE THING.

THE FPUA 3. THAT'S RECURRING APPROPRIATION. SO WE EXPECT THAT TO HAPPEN WITHIN THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS IF WE'RE LUCKY.

>> MR. CHAIRMAN, ARE ALL OF THESE FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE A I -- ALL THESE THE SAME INFRASTRUCTURE?

GRANTS? >> YES, MA'AM.

THESE ARE ALL FOR EVERYTHING YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN HERE IS ALL FOR LINING. THESE ALL FOR LINING.

THE FIRST ONE I MENTIONED -- >> BUT THIS ONE IS.

>> AND WHEN YOU SAY RECURRING, MR. TOMPECK, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? DOES THAT MEAN YOU GET A DIFFERENT AREA? OR --

>> IT'S IDENTIFIED AS RECURRING WITH THE STATE.

AND AS A RESULT WE JUST GO IN AND GIVE THEM THE NEXT

AREA THAT WE WANT TO DO. >> OKAY.

THE PROCESS IS MUCH EASIER IT'S RECURRING APPROPRIATION

THAN IF NOT. >> ABSOLUTELY.

THANK YOU. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

>> MR. CHAIR? >> AFTER ALL THREE OF THESE AREAS HAVE HAD THIS SEWER MAINS LINED WHAT PERCENTAGE OF OUR SYSTEM ROUGHLY WOULD STILL BENEFIT FROM LINING OF

SEWER MAINS. >> ONCE THESE AREAS ARE DONE. WE'LL BE SOMEWHERE AROUND THE 50%. PLUS OR MINUS.

HOPEFULLY IF WE GET REOCCURRING THAT WILL HELP QUITE A BIT. THERE'S OTHER OPPORTUNITIES OUT THERE AS WELL. THE LINING IS A VERY GOOD RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT FOR US AND THE STATE.

WE'RE ABLE TO SPEND ALL OF THIS MONEY.

AND THAT REALLY LOOKS GOOD FOR THE STATE.

THE STATE LIKES TO DO THAT. THEY DON'T LIKE TO HAVE GRANT FUNDS LEFT OVER. THEY WANT TO SEE THEM UTILIZED. IT'S A TURN KEY PROCESS FOR US TOO AS FAR AS STAFF OVERHEAD.

>> >> WHAT IS LIFE SPAN ON THE NEW LINE THAT YOU PUT IN THE PIPES?

>> WE'RE EXPECTING IT 100 YEARS.

THAT'S WHAT THEY CALL IT FOR PBC.

PBC OR HDP ANY OF THE OTHER TECHNOLOGIES.

TO MY KNOWLEDGE THE ONLY THING THAT DEGRADES THIS OTHER THAN STRONG CHEMICALS WHICH WE SHOULDN'T HAVE IN OUR WASTEWATER SYSTEM THEY WILL NOT GET ULTRAVIOLET BELOW GROUND. HOW MUCH DISRUPTION IN THE STREET CONSTRUCTION IS THERE?

FOR THIS? >> VERY LITTLE.

IF PROCESS INVOLVES TWO TRUCKS.

ONE TUCK THAT PULLS AND THE OTHER TRUCK THAT FEEDS.

BASICALLY WHATEVER THAT RUN IS IN BETWEEN MANHOLE TO MANHOLE. YOU WOULD HAVE A TRUCK ON BOTH SIDES AND USUALLY IT AMOUNTS TO A COUPLE FLAGGERS AND YOU KNOW ROUTING PEOPLE AROUND.

>> IT DOESN'T EFFECT THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE STREET

AT ALL? >> NO, MA'AM.

NOT AT ALL. >> THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF THIS. IT IS.

EXACTLY. WE ACTUALLY USE THIS PROCESS AS WELL WHEN THERE'S A CITY ROADWAY PROJECT.

IF THERE'S NOTHING TO EXTENSIVE THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO SEWER SYSTEM. WE'LL USE THIS PROCESS PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION. IT'S OBVIOUSLY MUCH EASIER.

IT DOESN'T COMPLETELY FALL APART WHEN THEY RUN THE

COMPACTORS OVER IT. >> THE OTHER THING WE BEEN BUDGETING ABOUT 500,000 A YEAR FOR THIS SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT THE GRANTS HOW MUCH QUICKER WE'RE ABLE TO GET TO

IT. >> RIGHT, RIGHT.

AFTER YOU APPLY FOR THE GRANT, WE DON'T HAVE TO

REAPPLY AGAIN. >> YOU STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF APPLYING FOR APPROPRIATION.

IT'S MORE EASY. IT'S MORE EXPEDITIOUS?

[00:45:02]

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. >> I THINK WE HAVE TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ENTERTAIN THE CONTRACT.

MOVE APPROVAL. >> SECOND.

>> PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.

[G.4. Amended employment agreement for John Tompeck.]

>> THANK YOU. THE NEXT ITEM IS THE AMENDED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT FOR ME. I THOUGHT KOBE WOULD BE HERE TO PRESENT THAT. I CAN GO THROUGH IT.

THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENTS DATED BACK ON SEPTEMBER THE 5TH, 2017. AND THAT CONTAINED ALL THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR MY EMPLOYMENT.

THIS AMENDED AGREEMENT CONTAIN ADDITIONAL TERM UNDER SECTION 9-B ALLOWING FOR SEVERENCE PAY TEN WEEKS ON RETIREMENT. TO ACKNOWLEDGE PERFORMANCE AND TO ASSIST FROM THE EXPEDITED TRANSITION PROCESS TO NEW DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES.

IN ADDITION I THOUGHT WORTHWHILE TO MODIFY SOME OF THE OLD LANGUAGE IN 9-C. ONE OF THE SENTENCES IN 9-C WAS ONE THAT CAUSED US SOME DIFFICULTY WITH M MR. LINSTROM. THE LAST SENTENCE NEEDED TO COME OUT. I THOUGHT WE TAKE IT OUT AS WELL. THAT'S THAT'S ALL THE

DETAILS OF THE CHANGES. >> WE'LL OPEN IT UP FOR DISCUSSION. ANYONE HAVE ANY DISCUSSIONS.

ANYONE WANT TO DISCUSS A LITTLE BIT FURTHER?

>> MR. CHAIRMAN? >> MR. TOMPECK, WHAT IS THE

DATE OF YOUR RETIREMENT? >> WELL I HAD SOME DISCUSSION WITH HARVEY. I THINK A COMFORTABLE DATE FOR BOTH OF US WOULD BE JANUARY THE 1ST.

>> >> WHEN YOU MENTION TO ASSIST WITH THE FACILITATION OF THE TURNOVER.

DOES THAT MEAN YOU WILL STAY ON TO COOPERATE FOR A PERIOD OF MONTHS JUST TO HELP BUY SOME COUNCIL FOR THINGS YOU ONLY HAD PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE OF.

OF COURSE I WILL BE AVAILABLE.

I THINK WE CAN DO IT VERY SUCCESSFUL TURNOVER IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS. I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

I WILL BE AROUND. >> I DEFINITELY FEEL BETTER ABOUT HAVING SOMETHING MAYBE A SHORT EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT HANG AROUND FOR THREE MONTHS, TO BE MADE AVAILABLE IN THE EVENT THERE'S A QUESTION CONCERNS SOMETHING THAT ONLY YOU WOULD HAVE PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE ABOUT.

>> I WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR THAT.

THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM. >> I DON'T THINK THAT'S

ITEMCALLY HOW A SEVERENCE. >> GENERALLY SPEAKING IF I WERE TO BUY A NEW BUSINESS I WOULD WANT ADVICE AND COUNCIL THAT THEY ONLY HAVE PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE ABOUT.

I WOULD FEEL BETTER WITH TRANSFER IF WE DID THEM AROUND THAT HE WOULD MAKE HIMSELF AVAILABLE IF WE HAD SOME SORT OF QUESTION THAT JAVIER NEEDED ANSWERED VERY

QUICKLY. >> I'M IN INVESTED IN THE 11 SUCCESS OF FPUA.

I WILL MAKE SURE HAVI HAS THE INFORMATION HE NEEDS.

AND IF HE QUESTIONS HE WILL KNOW HOW TO REACH ME.

>> YOU HAVE TWO MONTHS AND YOU HAD TIME ALREADY.

EXACTLY. >> I PERSONALLY I THINK THIS IS A BETTER METHOD THAN A BONUS.

WE WERE ALREADY TALKING THAT MR. TOMPECK WAS NOT EVEN DISCUSSING RETIREMENT UNTIL MAYBE THE BEGINNING OF MARCH. THIS LENDS TO THAT AND GETS US IN PLACE SOONER. AND DOESN'T ALLOW FOR ANY KIND OF MIXED FEELINGS OR WORDS IN BETWEEN.

WE'VE GOT QUITE A BIT OF TIME BEFORE THAT WOULD

HAPPEN. >> I AGREE.

WHAT'S THE TURN OVER DATE? I THINK YOU SAID JANUARY

3RD? >> 2 ON 3RD.

HAVI WOULD TAKE OVER JANUARY 3RD.

THIS THERE WOULD BE A COOPERATION CLAUSE.

MR. TOMPECK SAID I CAN'T BE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION. I THINK IT WOULD BE NICE TO BE ABLE TO PLEASE. ANSWER THE QUESTION.

>> HE'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE BECAUSE I KNOW HE HAS A JOB

THAT HE CAN'T GO ANYWHERE. >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION?

>> GIVEN A LITTLE BIT OF THOUGHT TO A LOT OF THOUGHT TO THIS TRANSITION. AND MR. CHAIR, I AGREE WITH

[00:50:03]

YOU WE NEED TO MAKE THE TRANSITION AS SMOOTH AND AS SEAMLESS AS POSSIBLE. ONE OF THE IDEAS I HAD.

I'M INTERESTED TO SEE WHAT THE REST OF THE BOARD THINGS. FOR JAVI TO TAKE OVER FOR ACTING FOR MAYBE ONE BOARD MEETING WHILE MR. TOMPECK IS STILL EMPLOYED AND AROUND. TO ADVICE ON THINGS HE WOULD CONSIDER DOING DIFFERENTLY. WOULD THAT BE DECEMBER YOU WOULD LIKE FOR HIM TO DO THAT?

>> I DON'T HAVE ANY SPECIFIC DATES IN MIND.

THAT IS THE GENERAL IDEA THAT AT LEAST FOR ONE MEETING MAYBE A COUPLE OF WEEKS THAT JAVI HAS TAKEN OVER AS DIRECTOR WITH JOHN RIGHT THERE.

AVAILABLE FOR ANY GUIDANCE. >> WE DISCUSSED THAT.

I'M TAKING A SEA CRUZ AFTER THANKSGIVING.

WEEK WILL BE PREPARING BUDGET.

THE AGENDA SO JAVI WILL BE IN CHARGE.

I DON'T THINK THERE'S A REASON WHY HE SHOULDN'T RUN THAT PARTICULAR MEETING. HE WILL RUN THAT IF THAT

WORKS FOR YOU. >> ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OR

DISCUSSIONS? >> SECOND MEETING OF DECEMBER. YOU CAN SAY ALL THE NICE THINGS WE WANT TO SAY ABOUT YOU AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF. AND GIVE YOU A GOOD SEND OFF. I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? I WOULD MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE AMENDED APPOINTMENT AGREEMENT BASED ON THE FACT THAT MR. TOMPECK RETIRING ON JANUARY 1ST.

INTO MAYBE A IS IT DAY OR SOMETHING OR HOLIDAY.

THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF MR. CISENEROS WOULD BE

JANUARY 3RD AS THE DIRECTOR. >> THAT'S MY MOTION.

>> I WILL SECOND. PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.

[Additional Item]

G-5 WHICH IS THE PRESENTATION BY DR. KIM DELANEY OF THE TREASURE COAST REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL. ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN FPUA AND THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE ON THE WRF RELOCATION.

>> GOOD AFTERNOON. THANKS FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO

INTRODUCE MYSELF. >> GO AHEAD.

>> HI, THERE. KIM DELANEY FROM TREASURE COAST REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL.

THANKS FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS THE BOARD.

WE'VE BEEN ASKED BY THE CITY TO ASSIST IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE FPUA BOARD FOR THE RELOCATION OF THE WATER RECLAMATION FACILITY. AND LET'S SEE.

REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL FOR THOSE WHO AREN'T FAMILIAR ARE PUBLIC AGENCIES.

THEY ARE TEN IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA CHARTERED IN STATE STATUTE. THEY ARE DESIGNED TO ASSIST LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND AGENCIES WITH REALLY WHATEVER IS NECESSARY. BUT PARTICULARLY, FACILITATION OF AGREEMENT AND INTERLOCAL AGREEMENTS, VISIONING MASTER PLANNING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES AND THE WHOLE HOST OF OTHER STATE AND FEDERAL RESPONIBILITIES WHERE IT IS MORE EFFICIENT TO UTILIZE TO ASSIST IN THE DISCUSSION ESSENTIALLY.

AND SO AGAIN THERE'S TEN IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

AND OUR BOARD HAS 28, WE HAVE 28-MEMBER COUNCIL.

14 ELECTED OFFICIALS INCLUDING COMMISSIONER SESSIONS AS ONE OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS.

AND JOHNSON. AND TEN GUBERNATORIAL APPOINTEES. 28 MEMBERS ON THE COUNCIL.

WE ONLY DO WORK FOR PUBLIC ENTITIES.

ROUTINELY LOCAL GOVERNMENT ASK THE COUNCIL TO ASSIST WITH DISCUSSIONS LIKE THE RELOCATION OF THE RECLAMATION FACILITY. REGIONALLY SIGNIFICANT IMPLICATION AND INVOLVES MULTIPLE JURISDICTIONS.

AND SO OUR OFFICES ARE IN STEWART.

WE WORK WITHIN THE TREASURE COAST AS WELL AS STATEWIDE.

WE HAVE A LONG HISTORY OF A I ASSISTING THE CITY OF FT.

[00:55:05]

PIERCE. IN REDEVELOPMENT EFFORTS.

IT'S VISITING OVERTIME. JUST IMAGES TO ILLUSTRATE SOME OF THE WORK THAT'S TAKEN PLACE WORKING PARTICULARLY IN THE DOWNTOWN AND TAYLOR CREEK AREA AS WELL AS MORE RECENTLY WE ASSISTED THE CITY IN AGREEMENT, THE EVALUATION AND ULTIMATELY SELECTION AND AGREEMENT WITH FOR THE KINGS LANDING PROJECT.

AT THE HD KINGS SITE WHICH HAD ASSISTANCE FROM THE COUNCIL OVER THE PAST DECADES OR SO.

WE WORK WITH THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION TO BRING IN DOLLARS AS WELL AS EPA FOR BROWN FIELD REMEDIATION. TO CARRY OUT ENVIRONMENTAL PHASE ONE AND FACE TWO WORK AS NECESSARY.

AND THEN ASSIST WHERE DESIRED WITH ULTIMATELY THE DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT OF PARCELS LIKE THAT. THAT WORK WAS COMPLETED ABOUT THE YEAR AGO AS YOU KNOW THE PROJECT IS UNDERWAY. THE WORK THAT THE COUNCIL WAS ASKED TO ASSIST WITH APPROVED BY THE LAST MONTH.

AND THAT'S TO ASSIST IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE FPUA.

FOR ULTIMATELY THE DISPOSITION IF THAT IS THE CONCLUSION BY YOUR BOARDS OF THE WATER RECLAMATION FACILITY AND ADDRESS THE ISSUES THAT -- THE CHALLENGING ISSUE BETWEEN THE TWO ENTITIES? THE FIRST PIECE OF THAT WORK WOULD BE DUE DILIGENCE ANALYSIS TO WALK THROUGH THE DOCUMENTS THE DOCUMENTS FOR THE CITY. DO A LEGAL REVIEW TO UNDERSTAND WHERE THE RIGHT AND RESPONSIBILITIES LIGHT BETWEEN THE ENTITIES SO WE UNDERSTAND THAT.

AND THEN UNDERSTAND WHERE THE DISPOSITION HAVE TAKEN PLACE. OR DIFFERENT LEVEL OF CONTROL HAVE TAKEN PLACE. HOW HAVE THOSE AGREEMENT BEEN CARRIED OUT BETWEEN UTILITY AUTHORITY AND THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS UNDER WHICH THEY EXIST? WE CAN LEARN FROM PURE EXAMPLE AROUND THE STATE.

AND THEN TO WORK WITH YOUR BOARD DIRECTLY AND YOUR STAFF AS WELL AS THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY STAFF TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THE TERMS. AND THE CONDITIONS THAT ARE PRESENT BASED ON OUR REVIEW OF HOW THE DOCUMENTS EXIST. TO WORK OUT A TERM SHEET BETWEEN THE TWO AGENCY TO BRING IN A PUBLIC WORKSHOP.

TO FIND CONSENSUS. ON THE DIFFERENT TERM AND BRING FORWARD INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT.

THAT WORK AGAIN WAS JUST APPROVED BY THE CITY.

LAST MONTH WE DEVELOPED THE APPROACH IN CONJUNCTION WITH MR. TOMPECK AND YOUR STAFF. EVERYONE IS AWARE OF THE PROCESS WE WANT TO CARRY OUT.

EVERYTHING IS TRANSPARENT. WE'RE A PUBLIC AGENCY.

OUR ONLY VESTED INTEREST IS THE SUCCESS OF THE CITY AND OUR MUNICIPALITY. AND THE PUBLIC THAT EXISTS IN A REGION. AND SO THOSE ARE OUR ON OBLY GA GA GA GAIGSS OBLIGATIONS TO RESPONSIBILITY. OUR WORK WOULD BEGIN WITH DUE DILIGENCE. THAT WOULD TAKE 2-3 MONTHS.

INCLUDING INTERVIEW WITH YOU AS BOARD MEMBERS AND STAFF AS WELL TO UNDERSTAND WHERE THE SPEAKER SUSPECTIES.

WE CONDUCTED PEER REVIEW. WE BRING FORWARD DUE DILIGENCE MEMO FOR EVERYONE REVIEW AT THE END OF THE TIME PERIOD. AND THEN BEGIN INTERVIEWS WITH YOU AS UTILITY BOARD MEMBERS LIKELY IN JANUARY.

TO AGAIN YOUR PERSPECTIVE. DEVELOP THE TERM SHEET TO BRING THAT BACK IN PUBLIC WORKSHOP.

LIKELY JANUARY OR FEBRUARY OR SO.

AS THE HOLIDAYS KIND OF GET IN THE WAY OF GETTING INTO PEOPLE'S CALENDARS BUT WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO MOVE AS QUICKLY AS QUESTION. AND THEN WITH THAT INPUT.

FROM YOU AS BOARD MEMBERS, AS THE BOARD COLLECTIVELY, AND YOUR STAFF TO BRING THAT -- TAKE THAT TERM SHEET AND CARRY FORWARD TO INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT.

TO BRING THAT BACK TO YOU IN PUBLIC MEETING.

THAT'S PROBABLY ABOUT MARCH GIVEN THE TIME FRAME FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. AND APPROVAL LIKELY IN THE MONTH OF APRIL. ABOUT SIX MONTH PROCESS.

IT WOULD BE THE POINT OF CONTACT ALONG WITH TOM AS THE EXPECTY DIRECTOR. COUNCIL'S ATTORNEY KEITH DAVIS, HAS HIS FIRM HAS FOUR DECADES BODY OF EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND AGENCIES LIKE THE UTILITY AUTHORITY. AND THEN THAT WORK WOULD IDEALLY BE COMPLETED PROBABLY THE BEGINNING OF SECOND QUARTER OF NEXT YEAR. IN ADDITION COUNCIL HAS BEEN IN DISCUSSIONS WITH THE CITY ABOUT THE SOUTH BEACH REDEVELOPMENT AREA. JUST FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE, WE

[01:00:04]

HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE STAFF TO UNDERSTAND THE DEVELOPMENT CONDITIONS. THERE'S A RELATIONSHIP TO THE DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL OF SOUTH BEACH AND THE RECLAMATION FACILITIES. I WANT YOU TO BE AWARE THAT WORK IS IN DISCUSSION. HASN'T BEGUN YET.

EVERY ORGANIZATION CAN HANDLE SO MUCH IN THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS. I THINK RECLAMATION FACILITY WILL TAKE A LOT OF ENERGY AND ATTENTION TO WORK THROUGH AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT.

OUR SUGGESTION IS TO GET THROUGH THE BULK OF THAT DISCUSSION FIRST AND THEN CARRY ON WITH THE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE SOUTH BEACH AREA AND THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATION THAT ARE APPROPRIATE FOR THAT PORTION OF THE CITY. THAT WORK WOULD WOULD BEGIN WE THINK LATER NEXT YEAR IF THE CITY WOULD LIKE US TO.

CARRYING OUT A MAJOR COMPONENT OF THE CITY STRATEGIC PLAN. WHICH IS TO EVALUATE AND ADDRESS INCONSISTENCY BETWEEN THE PLAN AND OVERLAY ZONE THAT EXIST IN THAT AREA.

ASSIST WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CITY'S REDEVELOP AGENCY. AND CORRESPONDINGLY THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PORT PROPERTY AS WELL.

ALL THOSE THINGS TIE TOGETHER.

AGAIN, THAT WHERE IT TAKES PLACE SEPARATELY FROM THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT.

AND SO WITH THAT, HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE THEM. THE PURPOSE OF TODAY WAS JUST TO SIMPLY INTRODUCE MYSELF AND LET YOU KNOW THE WORK WE'VE BEEN ASKED TO UNDERTAKE.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU AS THE BOARD AND WITH YOUR STAFF AS WELL. AND HAVE HAVE HIGH DEGREE OF OPTIMISM THAT WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT THAT WILL COME TO YOU IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS THAT WILL WORK FOR

EVERYONE'S INTEREST. >> OKAY.

MY CONTACT INFORMATION IS HERE.

AND AGAIN WE'VE BEEN IN COORDINATION WITH YOUR STAFF AS WE'VE DEVELOPED THE APPROPRIATE.

HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE THEM.

IN QUESTIONS OF THE BOARD? >> I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS.

PROCESSES LIKE THIS WE HAVE SELECTED A PLAN AND WE HAVE TARGET DATES OF WHEN WE LIKE TO GET THINGS ACCOMPLISHED.

AND I AM CONCERNED WITH TIME LINES BEING MUDDIED AND SLOWED. HAS THAT BEEN TALKED ABOUT? WITH ANY OF THE STAFF OR WITH THE CITY?

>> WE TALKED ABOUT THE NEED TO MOVE QUICKLY THROUGH THE PROCESS. THIS -- WE ALSO UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF THE ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES AND OBLIGATIONS BOTH OF THE CITY AND THE FPUA. THAT'S PRIORITIZED THAT'S WORK THAT WILL BE UNDERTAKING IN THIS NEXT MONTH. BY THE END OF DECEMBER I'M HOPEFUL WE'LL HAVE CLEARER PICTURE TO PRESENT BACK TO YOUR STAFF AND THE CITY STAFF.

AS TO WHERE THE RULES AND OBLIGATIONS LIE.

WE'RE KEENLY AWARE OF THE PRESSURE ON THAT SITE.

AND THE OPPORTUNITY IT REP SENLTS FOR NOT JUST CITY AND FPUA AND THE LARGER REGION. IT'S REGIONAL PRIORITY FOR US TO ASSIST IN THE SITE TO BE -- IF THE USE TO BE RELOCATED AND THE SITE TO BE DEVELOPED WE WANT TO HELP THAT HAPPEN AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

>> SO WITH AN INTERLOCAL. I THINK WE HAD KIND OF GONE DOWN THE PATH OF US JUST GOING AHEAD AND YOU KNOW HANDLING THAT. OBVIOUSLY THERE'S OTHER THINGS WE NEED TO DISCUSS IN SOME OUTLETS ALONG THE WAY.

HOW WOULD INTERLOCAL. HOW WOULD THAT BE ABLE TO HELP OUR RATE PAYERS KEEP THOSE RATES DOWN AND

EVERYTHING AS WELL? >> IF THE PROPERTY HAS VALUE IN A DIFFERENT USE. THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO GAIN REVENUE. FROM THAT SITE.

THAT CAN HELP REDUCE THE RATES OF YOUR O FOR YOUR

RATE PAYERS OVER TIME. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.

>> MR. CHAIR? >> CAN YOU DESCRIBE TO ME OTHER PROJECTS THAT YOU OR THE PLANNING COUNCIL TREASURE COAST PLANNING COUNCIL HAS BEEN INVOLVED WITH THAT ARE SIMILAR TO THIS THAT WERE A GREAT

SUCCESS? >> LET ME THINK OF RELEVANT.

WE'VE DEVELOPED INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN LOCAL GOVERNMENT DURING WITH MULTIJURISDICTIONAL ASSETS OVER TIME. LET ME THINK OF SOME PARTICULAR EXAMPLES. IN WEST PALM BEACH WE ASSISTED WITH THE DISPOSITION OF PUBLICLY OWNED PARCELS. THAT HAVE GONE INTO REDEVELOPMENT. THE CITY HALL PROMPT IN DOWNTOWN WEST PALM, WE ASSISTED WITH EVALUATIONS OF

[01:05:02]

THAT SITE OVER TIME. THAT LED TO THE DISPOSITION OF THAT ASSET. THIS CITY'S EVALUATION OF THE KING SITE AND PROPOSAL THAT CAME IN FOR THE DISPOSITION OF THAT SITE. WE ASSISTED THE SFRTA IN THE EVALUATION OF PROPOSE ALES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BOCA TRI RAIL TRAIN STATION. MULTIJURISDICTIONAL RESPONSIBILITY BETWEEN THE CITY OF BOCA AND SFRTA AS THE OWNER OF THE LAND. THOSE ARE SOME EXAMPLES.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> ONE MORE.

>> I MEAN I ASKED YOU ABOUT YOU KNOW SITUATIONS WHERE YOU HAD A REALLY POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE PROJECT.

HAVE THERE BEEN PROJECTS THAT YOU YOU'VE BEEN INVOLVED WITH WHERE THINGS DIDN'T GO QUITE AS WELL AS

YOU WOULD HAVE HOPED? >> SURE.

THE BOCA TRY RAIL STATION IS GOOD EXAMPLE.

WE EVALUATED THE PROJECT FOR THE CITY AND SFRTA IN THE CONCLUSION WAS THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT TO RTA WAS NOT SUFFICIENT. THAT PROPERTY WAS REPACKAGED AND RELEASED BACK TO RFP PROCESS THAT'S CURRENTLY UNDER EVALUATION BY SFRTA BOARD.

THE MOST RECENT ACTION ON THAT BOARD BECAUSE THE PROPERTY HAS ACTUALLY INCREASED IN VALUE OVER TIME DURING RFP PROCESS IS FOR THE RESPONDENTS TO PROVIDE FINAL AND BEST OFFERS THAT ADDRESS THE INCREASED VALUE OF THE SITE. THE BOARD DECISION IS EXPECTED NOW IN THE NEXT TWO MONTHS.

>> WHAT DOES SFRTA STAND FOR?

>> SOUTH FLORIDA REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY THAT OPERATES TRI-RAIL IN CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENT WITH THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION.

SOUTH FLORIDA REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY, A SEPARATE BOARD AND THE CITY OF BOCA WHICH HAS LAND USE

JURISDICTION OF THE SITE. >> WHAT YOU SAY WHEN IT CAME TIME TO MAKE A DECISION THE SFRTA DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THEY WERE GETTING THE VALUE THAT

WAS APPROPRIATE. >> SO ADVISED AGAINST THE TRANSACTION. I HAVE A QUESTION.

AS FAR AS THE COST TO THIS. IS THERE A COST FOR THESE

SERVICES? >> NOT TO THE FPUA IN THE COST IS FOR THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE HAS SECURED THE SERVICES OF COUNCIL TO ASSIST IN THE FACILITITATION OF THAT INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT.

MR. CHAIRMAN. >> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I KNOW THE COUNCIL HAS DONE HAS HELPED US IS WHEN WE -- WHEN WE WENT THROUGH THE RFP PROCESS FOR THE KINGS LANDING -- FIRST OF ALL, YOU HELPED OUT -- YOU HELPED WORK WITH US WHEN WE CLEANED UP THE PLANT SITE.

THEN WE WERE PICKING WHO WAS GOING TO HAVE THE DEVELOPMENT RIGHT, WHAT THE TREASURE COAST.

DR. DELANEY HELPED US MAKE A DECISION NOT BY MAKING THE DECISION FOR US. THROUGH THE COUNCIL THEY DEVELOPED INFORMATION AND BACKGROUND ABOUT EACH OF THE PRESENTERS AND THEY DEVELOPED PROS AND CONS.

SO THAT TRULY WAS A FACILITITATION AS OPPOSED TO A ANY KIND OF DESTRUCTION OR INTERFERENCE.

LIKE GIVING YOU THE INFORMATION YOU MAY NOT LIKE YOU HAD OR MAY NOT FEEL YOUR OWN STAFF MAY BE ABLE TO DIG AS DEEP. THEY WERE ABLE TO KIND OF HAVE A BROADER AND DEEPER WAY TO HELP US MAKE A DECISION. AND THEY INTERVIEWED FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS. AND ANYWAY THEY PROVIDED INFORMATION TO US THAT HELPED US MAKE A DECISION.

AND I THINK THAT, THAT'S KIND OF WHAT THE ROLE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NOW IN TERMS OF AND YOU HELPED US WITH OTHER THINGS. OTHER PROJECTS.

AND ALL IT'S REALLY WHAT SIT.

IT'S A COUNCIL THAT CAN LOOK AT THE BROADER PICTURE AND BRING BROGDER KNOWLEDGE TO YOU BEYOND YOUR OWN BORDERS OF YOUR CITY. IT'S NOT INTERFERENCE.

IT'S LIKE AN ADD ON AS OPPOSED TO A COMPLICATION.

>> HOW DID WE MOVE THE PLANT?

>> MR. TOMPECK WAS REALLY INVOLVED IN IT.

[01:10:03]

THEY HELPED WITH THE FUNDING AND THE PLANNING AND WHAT DO

YOU CALL THAT -- >> GOING BACK AFTER THE PLANT WAS DEMOLISHED THEY GOT US INTO THE GROUND FIELD

PROGRAM. >> 10 MILLION IN FUNDING BROUGHT INTO THE HD KING SITE IF I RECALL CORRECTLY.

>> EVALUATION AND CLEANUP DOLLARS.

>> AND THEN TO MAYOR'S POINT, WE DEVELOPED THIS SELECTION MATRIX AND HECHED THE CITY THROUGH IT EVALUATION PROCESS. WITH THE SELECTION MATRIX TO OBJECTIVELY EVALUATION THE DIFFERENT REDEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS THAT CAME IN. THE CITY COMMISSION MADE ITS DECISION AND THEN WE ASSISTED THE CITY AND NEGOTIATING THE PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT WITH THE DEVELOPER WHO HAS BEEN SELECTED.

>> SHE SAID IT MUCH MORE CLEVER THAN I DID.

>> AGAIN TO THE CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED.

THE COUNCIL HAS A LONGSTANDING INVESTMENT IN THE REDEVELOPMENT AND SUCCESS OF THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE IN PARTICULAR AS A UNIQUE EXAMPLE.

A SMALL CITY THAT'S POSITIONED WITH INCREDIBLE ASSETS. THE POTENTIAL REDEVELOPMENT OF THE RECLAMATION FACILITY AGAIN ISN'T JUST A BENEFIT TO FAU FPUA. IT'S A SIGNIFICANT DESTINATION. WE'LL USE ALL THE RESOURCES WE HAVE TO ASSIST IN WORKING OUT WHATEVER THE DETAILS ARE THAT NEED TO BE WORKED OUT. SO THE PRIVATE SECTOR CAN MAKE THE INVESTMENT THE COMMUNITY DESERVES IN THAT SITE IF THAT'S ULTIMATELY THE DECISION THAT'S MADE.

>> JUST FOR CLARITY DO YOU WORK FOR THE CITY?

THE UA OR BOTH? >> WE ARE UNDER CONTRACT TO THE CITY. OUR RESPONSIBILITY IS TO WORK WITH YOU AS THE BOARD DIRECTLY AS WELL AS YOUR STAFF AND WORK WITH THE CITY COMMISSIONER DIRECTLY AND

THE CITY STAFF. >> YOU WERE ENGAGED BY THE

CITY? >> CORRECT.

>> I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION. MR. HUTCHINSON? DO YOU MIND COMING FORWARD FOR A SEC?

>> WHEN YOU MAILED YOUR PROPOSAL.

PROBABLY TWO MONTHS AGO. THERE WAS AN OUTLINE FOR INTERLOCAL AGREEMENTED THAT BUN DOCTOR FINANCING TOOK PLACE. IS THAT FAMILIAR? MAYBE A PERIOD THAT WE HAD TO GET AGREEMENT AND CONTRACTS IN PLACE. MY QUESTION IS DID THAT ENVISION INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY?

>> THAT WAS NOT ENVISIONED. YOU KNOW AS FAR AS TIME FRAMES GO EVERYTHING CAN TAKE PARALLEL PATHS AND I WOULD THINK WE SHOULD BE ABLE THE WORK SOMETHING OUT.

AT THE SAME SPEED AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH RELOCATING THE PLANT. PERFECT.

THAT'S THE ONLY QUESTION I HAD FOR YOU.

MR. TOMPECK, WHEN WE STARTED THIS PROJECT DID YOU ENVISION INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY CONCERNING THE REMOVAL OF THE PLANT?

>> NO. I DIDN'T ANTICIPATE ONE AT THE BEGIN OF THE PROJECT. I THINK YOU KNOW I THINK PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT OF AN OUTCROPPING FROM THE JOINT MEETING WE HAD BOARD HAD WITH THE CITY.

AND I THINK THERE ARE SOME ISSUES THAT ARE GOING TO REQUIRE SOME MUTUAL AGREEMENT DONE ON OUR SIDE AND WITH THE CITY COMMISSION AS WELL.

THAT SEEMS TO BE NARROW TO ME ABOUT THE USE OF THE LAND. I THINK THAT'S -- PREPARELY I THINK THAT'S THE MAIN ISSUE HERE.

>> THAT SEEMED LIKE A PRETTY LONG TIME LINE TO REALLY TALK ABOUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO USE THE LAND.

>> IT'S A COMPLEX ISSUE. BECAUSE IT'S DEVELOPMENT ISSUE AND OF COURSE WE TO BE HONEST WITH YOU FPUA DOESN'T WANT -- I DON'T MEAN IN THE BAD SENSE.

WE'RE NOT PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.

WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW LAND GET DISPOSITIONED AND HOW IT CAN BE DISPOSITIONED PROPERLY FOR THE -- FOR THE

BENEFIT OF OUR CUSTOMERS. >> INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BY

UA COUNCIL AND MANAGEMENT? >> YES.

>> IF YOU WERE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS, YOU DON'T SEE THE NEED TO HIRE OUTSIDE SPECIALIZED COUNCIL FOR IT;

CORRECT? >> I DON'T THINK SO.

I THINK WILL ARE BE HANDLED LIKE ANY OTHER INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WE HAVE. AND YOU KNOW WE'RE A LITTLE BIT AWAY FROM THAT. THE REASON I WOULD ASK DOLLAR DELANEY TO COME HERE. I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTOOD THE PROCESS. INTERLOCAL WILL COME TO YOU FOR YOUR APPROVAL EVENTUALLY.

EVENTUALLY. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

>> PERFECT. THAT'S VERY NICE PRESENTATION. THANK YOU.

[I.1. Approve Resolution 2021-11 and the FPUA Board Policies, Procedures and Rules of Order appended thereto.]

>> THANK YOU. THE FIRST RESOLUTION 2021-11

FOR THE BOARD POLICIES AND PROCEDURES.

YOU MAY RECALL WE PRESENTED THIS AT THE LAST MEETING BUT WE DELAYED THE DECISION O GIVE MR. LAMMERS HERE IN GENERAL. JOSH IS HERE TO MAKE THE PRESENTATION OR O WE CAN ENTERTAIN QUESTIONS AS YOU

DESIRE. >> ENTERTAIN QUESTIONS OR

HAVE HIM REPRESENT. >> IT'S THE SAME DOCUMENT AS LAST TIME. YEAH.

I'M OKAY UNLESS MR. LAMMERS HAS ANY QUESTIONS?

>> I'VE GOT SOME QUESTIONS, JOSH IF YOU ARE AVAILABLE.

YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT.

I'M LOOKING IN SECTION ONE BASIS OF AUTHORITY.

ITEM F, THE BOARD BY SHALL ELECT CHAIRPERSON TO PRESIDE OVER THE MEETINGS. AND VICE CHAIRMAN WHO SHALL ACT FOR THE CHAIRMAN IN THE EVENT OF THEIR ABSENCE.

AND A SECRETARY. AS LONG AS EYE BEEN ON THE BOARD. I DON'T THINK THERE'S EVER BEEN A VOTE TO WHO WOULD BE CHAIRMAN.

I JUST SHOWED UP ONE DAY AND THEY SAID I WAS IT.

BY D CONSENT. I'M LOOKING FOR NOMINATION AND SO ON. MAYBE IT OUGHT TO BE PUT IN THERE BY CONSENT AGENDA AND SHOULD BE MORE PRECISE.

WHEN I READ I'M LOOKING FOR FORMAL NOMINATION.

>> YEAH. IT'S JUST -- IT'S JUST ROTATING. IS THAT WRITTEN ANYWHERE OR

JUST TRADITION? >> IT'S NOT WRITTEN ANYWHERE. THE LANGUAGE COMES STRAIGHT

FROM THE CHARTER. >> THAT'S WHAT I FIGURED IT WAS. MY UNDERSTANDING THAT YEARS AGO THE BOARD HAS JUST PUT ITSELF TO -- INSTEAD OF HAVING COMPETING INTEREST. GOING ON.

IN THEY CAME UP WITH THE ROTATING SYSTEM.

>> IT'S CHARTER LANGUAGE. >> IT'S KIND OF CHARTER LANGUAGE THAT FOR THE FIRST MEETING THAT YOU HAVE MAYBE YOU OUGHTED TO START OFF WITH CHARTER LANGUAGE FILED BY SUBSEQUENT YEARS BY ROTATION BASIS TO BE

APPROVED BY CONSENT AGENDA. >> DOES THAT CONFLICT WITH

ANYTHING IN THE CHARTER? >> NO.

THE CHARTER. IT PROVIDES THIS LANGUAGE AND THEN ANOTHER SECTION THAT SAID THE BOARD IS TO COME UP WITH OWN RULES FOR THE MEETING WHICH IS CONCEPT

CAME THROUGH. >> THE BOARD WANT TO COME UP ORDER I WILL TRANSITION. AND PUT THAT IN HERE.

I DON'T THINK IT'S OVERLY CRITICAL.

I CRASHED MY HEAD THINKING WE SHOW UP AND DO IT BY CONSENT. THERE'S NOT A FORMAL.

WE HAVE FORMAL NOMINATION AND EVERYTHING.

I'M SO USED TO IT. EXACTLY.

>> THE ONLY OTHER ITEM THAT I THOUGHT ABOUT WAS THE SUBJECT TO APPROVAL OF CONFIRMATION BY THE BOARD I'M DEALING WITH THE ATTORNEY YOU KNOW I THINK PROCEDURALLY I HAVE A PROCESS HOW YOU HIRED ATTORNEYS. HAS THE UA, YOU KNOW, PUT IT OUT THERE FOR SOME MIDDLE AND MANAGEMENT NARROW DOWN TO PROTECTIVE PERSPECTIVE ATTORNEYS AND SUBMIT THEM TO BOARD? OR DOES THE BOARD IT SELF GO THROUGH AN INTERVIEW BY THEMSELVES AND THE ATTORNEY

REPRESENT THE UA? >> IT'S BEEN A WHILE.

CODY HAS BEEN THERE SINCE 1995.

HE REALLY JUST TOOK IT FROM BUCK IS MY RECOLLECTION.

>> THE PROCESS I THINK WOULD BE THE SAME AS DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES. WOULDN'T BE ANY DIFFERENT.

>> ANYONE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT.

I LIKE THE LANGUAGE BEFORE THAT THE BOARD WILL CHOOSE THE ATTORNEY. WHO WILL ROW RELEVANT WHO WILL REPRESENT THE THE UA AND REPORT TO THE PLEASURE OF THE BOARD. IF IT'S GOING TO BE DONE JUST LIKE WE'RE GOING TO DO WITH THE DIRECTOR WHICH SOUNDS LIKE THE DIRECTOR POOL OF THE CANDIDATES AND SUBMIT THE CANDIDATES TO THE BOARD, THE BOARD WILL

INTERVIEW. >> WE CAN DO EXACTLY THE SAME WAY. YOU CAN DEVELOP THE PROCESS.

[01:20:01]

WHATEVER PROCESS YOU WANT TO DO TO HIRE A NEW ATTORNEY, YOU CAN DO IT. ANYBODY WANT TO DISCUSS THAT

FURTHER? >> WHAT LANGUAGE WOULD YOU

SUGGEST? >> I'M TRYING TO GET A FEEL FOR WHAT THE PROCESS IT. IT'S SUBJECT TO APPROVAL AND CONFIRMATION BY THE BOARD. DULY NOTICED PUBLIC MEETING.

THE DIRECTOR UTILITIES SHALL SELECT AN ATTORNEY TO

REPRESENT THE COMPANY. >> THAT'S THE WRONG VERSION.

>> LOOK ON THE LAST PAGE. >> THERE'S AN UPDATED ONE.

>> YOUR PRINT IS EVEN NICER THAN THE ONE I GOT.

>> I THINK THAT WILL WORK. IT'S STILL VAGUE AS THE PROCESS. THE PROCESS DETERMINED BY

MANAGEMENT. >> THE PROCESS TO BE DETERMINED BY THE BOARD. BUT THEN FROM MANAGEMENT.

AND IT CAN BE DONE IN ANY WAY THE BOARD CHOOSES.

>> IT SEEMS LIKE YOU HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY IN THERE FOR THE BOARD TO MAKE THE DECISION THE WAY IT'S

DRAFTED. >> SOME OF THE OPTIONS ARE PUTTING OUT FOR RFP. SEEING WHAT PEOPLE PROPOSE AND WHAT TYPE OF RELATIONSHIPS AND RATES OR SIMPLY DOING AN INTERVIEW PROCESS LIKE DONE FOR THE

DOE. >> THANK YOU.

THERE'S NO FORMAL LANGUAGE FOR IT.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. I THINK THAT SATISFIES MY ONLY TWO INQUIRIES. WE NEED A MOTION TO APPROVE

THE NEW POLICIES. >> READ THE RESOLUTION TITLE

FIRST. >> OKAY.

RESOLUTION 2021-11 RESOLUTION OF THE FPUA MUNICIPAL AUTHORITY CREATED BY THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE.

AMENDING RESCINDING AND ADOPTING POLICIES PROCEDURES AND RULES OF ORDER FOR BOARD MEETING REPEALING ALL RESOLUTIONS AND POLICIES IN CONFLICT HERE WITH AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE HEREOF.

>> I MOVE APPROVAL FOR RESOLUTION 2021-11.

>>> DO WE HAVE A SECOND? >> I WILL SECOND.

>> PLEASE CALL THE ROLL . BR

[I.2. Approve Resolution 2021-10 for the formation of a Utility Advisory Committee to insure transparency and adherence to all necessary state laws.]

>> NEXT ITEM RESOLUTION 2021610 FOR THE FORMATION OF THE UTILITY ADVICEREE COMMITTEE.

YOU'VE SEEN COUPLE OF PRESENTATION ON THIS SUBJECT OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS. THIS IS JUST TO FORMALIZE IT AND GET IT MOVING. THANK YOU MR. TOMPECK.

GOOD AFTERNOON. IT'S MY PLEASURE TO PRESENT UA2021-10 WHICH AS MR. TOMPECK MENTIONED FORMALLY ESTABLISHES THE FPUA UTILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE. AS MR. TOMPECK MENTIONED I PRESENTED THIS ITEM EARLIER THIS YEAR INFORMATION ONLY.

I FOLLOWED UP WITH THE CITY COMMISSION AS THE PRESENTATION FOR ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK.

TODAY I WOULD LIKE TO REVIEW THE MAJOR ITEMS OF THE RESOLUTION AND THE FEW IMPORTANT CHANGE AND REQUEST APPROVAL OF THE RESOLUTION. THE UTILITY ADVISORY BOARD WILL BE KNOWN AS UTILITY ADS VICERY COMMITTEE AND THAT WAS PRETTY STRAIGHT FORWARD. PROVIDE MORE CLEAR DISTINCT BETWEEN THE FPUA BOARD AND THE UTILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE. WE WERE KIND OF FUMBLING WORDS. COMMITTEE WILL BE 9 # MEMBERS. FOUR FPUA BOARD MEMBER AND FOUR CITY COMMISSIONER. THREE AT-LARGE MEMBER CAN BE ADDED TO THE UTILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE BY ITS MEMBERS BUT CAN'T XOOET 12 AT ANY POINT.

THEY MUST BE FPUA ACCOUNT OLDER AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE ELECTOR OF THE CITY. MEANING THEY LIVE OUTSIDE THE CITY AND STILL BE ON THE UAC.

UAC MEMBER SHALL NOT BE ELECTED OFFICIAL OR STAFF MEMBERS OF FPUA OR THE STILL OF FT. PIERCE.

THE UAC MEMBERS TERM TO SERVE ON THE COMMITTEE SHALL COINCIDE WITH THE TERM OF THE SPONSOR.

AT NO POINT BE MORE THAN FOUR YEARS.

THIS AN ITEM WE TALKED ABOUT THE UA BOARD AND THE CITY COMMISSION. WE MADE IT VERY SIMPLE.

ATTENDANCE IS REQUIRED. WITH THE LACK OF ATTENDANCE TO THREE CONSECUTIVE REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETING WOULD RESULT IN AUTOMATIC REMOVAL.

THAT SEEMED TO BE SIMPLEST VERSION TO PUT IN THE RESOLUTION FOR ADDRESSING THAT.
