[1. Call to Order]
[a. Presentation of St. Lucie Public Schools Community & School Planning]
[00:01:28]
>>> EVERY YEAR THE SCHOOL LOOKST DEMOGRAPHICS.
WE ADOPT OUR BUDGET FOR THE FOLLOWING HERE BUT WE ALSO LOOK AT WHAT ARE THE FACILIY NEEDS WE ALSO LOOK AT PERIOS BEYOND FIVE YEARS. WE LOOK AT MUCH AS 20 YEARS DEPENDING ON WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE COMMUNITY.
WE LOOK HARDER. AS YA'LL ARE AWARE WE HAD CONSIDERABLE GROWTH IN OUR COMMUNITY IN THE LAST 5-10 YEARS COMING OUT OF THE RECESSION.
SO, WE LOOKED AT DEMOGRAPHICS FR THE NEXT 20 YEARS AND AS ITE PUT TOGETHER A FIVE YEAR WOK PLAN FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRIC.
HERE IS A SNAPSHOT OF GROWTH. BASICALLY LOOKING AT THE DATA AT WHERE WE WERE GROWING AND AT WHAT RATE.
WESTERN FORT ST. LUCIE ALMOST 11,000 NEW IN SOUTHWEST FORT ST. LUCIE. YOU CAN SEE 2/3 OF THE GROWTH HE BEEN IN THE AREA. TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF OUR RESIDENTIAL INVENTORY AS WE TALK ABOUT GROWTH.
WE LOOK AT WHAT OUR RESIDENTIAL INVENTORY IS.
WHERE CAN WE GROW. YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE STAPLE DEVELOPMT
IN FORT PIERCE. >> CELEBRATION POINT AND THIS IS WHERE WEAR AT. WE HAVE OTHER HAS ARE COMING ON PRESITE AD ANOTHER ONE AT THE POINT AND IN SEDONA.
OTHERS ARE COMING ONLINE TO SEE THE COUNTY AND ON FARMS ABOT 500 UNITS. THE BROTHERS IS PROPOSING 400 UNITS OFF THE ROAD. AND EAGLE BEN AND VICTORIA OAKSI THINK IS ABOUT 1,000 UNITS. THAT COMES BACK FOR SOME OF FINL DEVELOPMENT OR APPROVAL AND COKE NOT COVE UP IN THE BRAH YOU MAY RECALL IN 2008 OWE - OR '09 THEY BUILT A BRIDGE O GET TO THEIR PROPERTY. THAT WAS ORIGINALLY 999 UNITS.
[00:05:01]
I THINK NATIONAL HOME BUILDERS PWOUGTS THAT -- BOUGHT THAT.IN THE NORTHERN END OF THE COUNTY.
WE HAVE ABOUT 9 KHR-RBGZ 9,300 UNITS FAIRLY ALONG. YOU CAN SEE THERE'S ACT ABOUT 6,700 UNITS IN THERE.
THERE'S OTHER PLACES THAT ARE VY SMALL THAT ARE MOVING ALONG THAT I DIDN'T INCLUDE THAT E ABOUT 6,700 UNITS IN PORT LUCY. THAT'S THE HIGHEST GROWTH AREA.
THERE'S STILL 1,400 TO BE BUILT ON.
THEY THEY NEVER MATERIALIZE BECAUSE THEY RAN OUT OF LAN.
PLANNING AREAS NORTH AND SOUTH. YOU CAN SEE THERE'S -RPBGZ,100 - 5,1000 UNITS IN THE SOUTH AREA.
OVER 9,000 UNITS CAN BE BUILT IN THAT ZIP CODE.
SOMEBODY JUST WALKED IN THE BUILDING TO GET A PERMIT.
>> WHAT WE ARE SEEING RIGHT NOWS THIS -- THE DEVELOPMENT YOU HAVE WESTERN GROVE. ABOUT 5,600 UNITS AVAILABLE IN THERE. THERE'S 21,000 UNITS AVAILABLE ENTITLEMENTS AVAILABLE DOWN THERE.
THAT'S AGAIN A 20 YEAR PROJECT T IT'S CONTINUING.
I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT NUMBERS T FOR 3,000 OR 4,000 UNIT AS YEAR PROBABLY INTO THE MIX D THEN IS CONTINUING SOUTH THE CANAL UP UNTIL RECENTLY MOST OF THAT HAS BEEN AGE RESTRICTED OR AGE TARGETED O WE HAD LOWER KIDS LIKE THE AREA NORTH OF THE CANAL. WE HAD ALMOST 900 UNITS BUILT THERE. LAST TIME I CHECKED WE HAD 12 STUDENTS SO VERY AGE TARGETED.
COPPER CREEK IS ALMOST BUILT OU. IT 175 UNITS LEFT.
A NEW DRI IS NOT NEW. IT'S BEEN IN THE WORKS SINCE 205 OR SO. THE LATEST THING ON THE BOOKS COMING UP IS THE OAKRIDGE RANCH IS THE OLD EVELYN STAK RANCH.. CULTURE HAS PURCHASD THAT.
THEY FILED A FUTURE LAND USE AMENDMENT IN THE COUNTY FOR 9,700 UNITS. YOU CAN SEE THERE'S PLENTY OF AVAILABLE INVENTORY. ABOUT 58,000 UNITS.
>> THAT ALLOWED A LOT OF MILLENNIALS TO HAVE DOWN PAYMENTS FOR HOME BUYING. YOU SAW A MONTH OR SO AGO THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF LISTINGS WERE NINE DAY THEFT ST. LUCE
COUNTY. >> THEY GO REALLY FAST.
>> HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR SUPPLY SHORTAGES.
[00:10:04]
EVEN APPLYING -- I HEARD THE STY THAT THE VICE PRESIDENT COMS TO SOMEBODY AND SOMETHING AD THEY SEND THEM ON A SHOPPING TRIP AROUND THE COUNTRY TO Y APPLIANCES SO THEY CAN CLOSE ON THE HOMES THAT ARE FINISHED. IT'S NOT BAD MODERATING. NEW RESIDENTIAL BUILDING NOW. U CAN SEE BACK IN 2005 WE HADA QUARTERLY BUILDING ABOUT 270 UNITS. YOU SEE THE SECOND QUARTER OF TS YEAR. WE ARE ALMOST BACK TO THAT LEVE.LOOK AT OUR LONG RANGE PROJECTI. OUR STUDENT ENROLLMENT.
WE ALSO GET DATA FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA.
THE ECONOMIC AND BUSINESS RESEARCH.
THEY HAVE LONG BEEN THE STANDARD IN POPULATION IN THE STATE.
THEY DO A LOW, MEDIUM AND HIGH. WE USE THE MEDIUM NUMBERS TO PROJECTION FOR 2045. THROUGH 2025 ALMOST 2800 DWELLIG UNITS IN THE COUNTY. WE USE THESE NUMBERS FOR OUR PROJECTIONS TO SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
>> APPLYING THAT TO OUR PROJECTIONS.
KNOWING WHAT OUR STUDENT GENERATION RATES ARE AND THN BREAKING THAT. RIGHT NOW WE ARE JUST UNDER 22,0 STUDENTS. WE EXPECT TO BE ALMOST 29,000 IN 2030. THAT IS THE GROWTH OF 5600 STUDENTS IN THE NEXT TEN YEARS.
THEN THE HIGH SCHOOL ESTIMATES SOMEWHERE ARE WELL OVER 10,0 GROWING BY ABOUT 2300 STUDES AND IN THE TEN YEAR PERIOD.
>> THEY APPLIED TO GROWTH AND HW T'S DONE AND SIMILAR THINGS. WE LOOKED AT THE GROWTH RATES IN THE SAME THREE REGIONS THATI SHOWED YOU EARLIER. I THINK LIT GROW FASTER THAN IT DID IN THE PAST TEN YEAR PERIOD.
THEY START WITH A LOWER COST AS WELL.
>> YOU SEE THE SPANISH LAKES IN PORT ST. ST. LUCIE.
YOU SEE KING'S AISLE. ALL OF RIVER LAND GROVES TODAY S BEEN RESTRICTED HOUSING. 100% OF IT.
IN SOUTHERN GROVE, DEL WEBB HASN AGE RESTRICTED HOUSING IN TE FIRST PHASE OF ANATOMY. THEIR FIRST PHASE WILL BE
[00:15:16]
RESTRICTED. YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE STUFF.THAT'S ITALIA IN TRADITION. >> WE KNOW FROM TALKING TO THE DEVELOPERS THAT WE'VE GOT SE ADDITIONAL AGE RESTRICTED HOUSING HERE. GOOD NEWS IS THE VALUE GOES UP.
YOU GET THE STUDENT IMPACT. >> WE APPLIED THE NUMBERS FROM E UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA AND SD WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? THE OLD LOTS HAS OUT PACED THE GROWTH IN TRADITION IN THAT AREA. A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK DOWN IN TRADITION BUT YOU DRIVE UP D DOWN THOSE ROADS AND SHE KNS AN YOU LOOK DOWN THE STREET YOU CAN SEE THE PORTAL WHERE THEY'RE BUILDING NEW HOUSES. YOU CAN'T SEE THE HOUSES NOT UNR CONSTRUCTION BUT YOU CAN SEE AND GET A FEEL FROM WHAT IS
GOING ON. >> TWO STUDENTS MAY TAKE A THAT
HAVE LOAD. >> SIMILAR WITH THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT. >> WE HAVE SOME IN ENROLLMENT AD OTHERS IN THAT NATURE NOT ALWAYS A ONE TO ONE RATIO TO ENROLLMENT AND FULL-TIME EQUIVALENT LENT.
>> THOSE ARE COUNT -DZ AS PART F OUR.
>> YOU CAN SEE OUR FTE WERE ALMT THE SAME.
>> YOU CAN. >> THAT HAS CAUSED THEM NOT TO E COUNTED BUT STILL PART OF I. YOU CAN SEE HOW OUR SCHOOL BOARD BUILDING HAS PLATEAUED A LITTLE BIT.
>> YOU CAN SEE THAT GREEN SHRINE WHAT WE GET.
>> THE OTHER ENROLLMENT THAT IS STARTING TO IMPACT THE SCHOL BOARD ENROLLMENT IS THE VARIOUS SCHOOL RARSHIPS THE STATE HAS ALLOWED WITH FAMIY ENVIRONMENT SCHOLARSHIPS THT THEY CAN GO TO A VARIETY OF PLACES WHERE THEY ARE PRIVAE
SCHOOLS. >> MORE STUDENTS THAN WE HAVE SEATS AND SOME OF YA'LL ARE FAMILIAR WITH PLACES LIKE PLACES LIKE GAINSVILLE. IT GREW RA PITLY ON THE WEST SIE
[00:20:05]
OF TOWN. >> YOU HAVE PLENTY OF CAPACITY.
>> WE HAVE PEOPLE WANTING TO BE CLOSER TO THEIR HOMES.
>> SEE MOST OF THE AREA WHERE PEOPLE ARE COVERED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SOUTH ST. LUCI. THIS IS PALM POINT. YOU MAY RECALL THE OPEN IN 2009 I BELIEVE. IT WAS COLLABORATIN WITH FLORIDA ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY.
IT PROVIDED $15 MILLION-DOLLARS FOR CONSTRUCTION.
>> WE DON'T HAVE ANY SCHOOLS IN THE SOUTHWEST AREA HERE.
>> WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO NEGOTIAE SCHOOL SITES THAT THE DEVELOPER HAS TO DESIGNATE SCHOOL SITES THEN WE ENTER N IMPACT IN THE AGREEMENT. WE DON'T BUY THEM BUT WE GIVE TM AN IMPACT CREDIT FOR THE SCHOOL SITES.
>> WE HAVE A LOT OF OPTIONS. IS TWO MILES.
IN THE PROCESS AND WE HAVE MOSTF THE COUNTY PRETTY WELL COVERED. AND THE HIGH SCHOOL SITES WE HAE RESERVED AND IN RIVER LAND, AND RANCH DRIS.
>> SO WE BELIEVE THAT WE CAN BUD A HIGH SCHOOL IN VERANO ANDI WILL WILL GO INTO THAT IN A MINUTE AND WE HAVE THESE OTR
TWO SITES AS WELL. >> YOU CAN SEE AS THAT AREA DEVELOPS WE HAVE GOOD SCHOOL COVERAGE AND PUT THE SCHOOL THEFT PROXIMITY WHERE WE LIVE.
>> SO, LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS FR DWELLING UNITS AND OUR POPULATION GROWTH. WE APPLIED THAT TO OUR STUDENT ENROLLMENT. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN 2030 IF WE GROW LIKE THAT IN THOSE AREAS.
YOU CAN SEE IN NORTH FORT PIERC, NORTH ST. LUCIE COUNTY WILL GROW BY 1200 STUDENTS IN THE K8 BUT WE STILL HAVE ABOUT 2700 SEATS AVAILABLE. OVER ALL, WE ARE STILL ABOUT 1,0 SEATS SHORT OF THE OVER ALL CAPACITY.
HIGH SCHOOLS ARE A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN THE K-8.
THEY CAN JUGGLE THINGS A LITTLE BETTER AND HAVING MORE THAN
[00:25:01]
100% ENROLLMENT IS NOT THE BEST THING BUT IT IS CAPABLE WITHOUT TOO MUCH PAIN IN THE HIGH SCHOOL.SO WE PUT TOGETHER A PLAN FOR ENHANCED CAPACITY IN SERVICE AREA. ONE OF HIS GOALS AND THE BOARD'S GOALS IS WHAT CN WE DO? OUR OLDEST HIGH SCHOOL IS COMPETING WITH THE NEWER HIH SCHOOLS AND IT NEEDS SOME ENHANCEMENT. SO WE ARE GOING TO PERFORM WHAT THEY CALL -- IT'S BASICALLYA REPLACEMENT ANALYSIS.
SHOULD WE GIVE ATE FACE-LIFT AND NEW SYSTEMS AND EXISTING BUILDINGS OR SHOULD WE TEAR THAT BUILDING DOWN AND BUILA NEW ONE? WE BELIEVE THAT BECAUSE OF THE E AND THE TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION AND HOW IT IS CONSTRUCTED TE PLANNING. THAT IT'S GOING TO BE APPROPRIAE TO TEAR THAT DOWN AND DO A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT.
>> >> THAT IS THE BEST PLACE TO SEE THE NEED OF THE STUDENTS IN THE GROWTH THERE.
IN DOING THAT, WE CAN SEE ALL AREAS WE MEET THE CAPACITY NEEDS. WE STILL HAVE ABOUT 400 CAPACITY IN SOUTHWEST --. TWO OTHER SITES.
PART OF IT IS MAKING SURE THAT E DEVELOPER CAN DELIVER.
THEY HAVE TO EXTEND BY A MILE AD A HALF AND WE GOT TO CONFIRM THE DEDELIVERY OF THAT ROADY BEFORE WE MAKE A FIRM COMMITMENT. AND WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE MET ALL THE STUDENT GROWTH NEEDS IN THE HIGH SCHOOLS BY DOING
THAT. . >> WE ARE ACTUALLY LOOKING AT TE WESTERN GROVE SITE AS WELL. THEY HAVE VARIABLE OF FUN SOURCE. THEY CANNOT DO MORTGAGES BUT THY HAVE A SIMILAR POOL CALLED CERTIFICATE OF PARTICIPATIO.
>> WE GUT LEAST PURCHASE IN PLAE THAT ALLOWS US TO BORROW MOY AND PAY DOWN IN THE EVENT. THE LEND HER TAKE THE PROPERTY.
WE WILL USE SALES TAX AND IMPACT FEES FOR ABOUT $50 MILLION F THE FUNDING AS WELL. IN HAG AT IT.
[00:30:08]
>> IT'S NOT LIKING OPENING A NEW SCHOOL.
KIND OF LIKE OPEN AT A WAL-MART. YOU CAN OPEN ANY DAY OF THE YEA.
IF LAST SCHOOL AGAIN IN 2027. THIS WILL MEET ALL OF THEIR GROH
PROTECTIONS THROUGH 2032. >> IF ARE WE DOING THE RIGHT THG TO 2030. WERE ON TARGET.
WE ARE WORKING ON SELECTING THE ARCHITECT NOW AND WILL DEVEP PRAPLTS FOR SPECIFICALLY THE HIGH SCHOOLS LIKE WHAT'S IMPORTANT PROGRAMMING AND HH SCHOOL.
WE KNOW WEST WOOD HAS A LONG STP HISTORY OF AGRICULTURE.
WE JUST CREATED WITH THE VISUAL ARTS.
WE WILL BE WORKING WITH THE ACADEMIC TEAM.
CURRICULUM AND OTHERS TO DEVELOP THOSE PROGRAMS. YOU ARE GOOD FOR ACADEMIES. IT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT ALL
THOSE PROGRAMS. >> WE WORK WITH WORK FORCE DEVELOPMENT AND LOOK AT WHAT ARE THE TARGETED ENTITIES AD WE DEVELOP THOSE CAREER ACADEMIES FOR BOTH POSTS SECONDARY AND FOR CAREER WHETHER IT'S CULINARIRY ART.
AND OTHER CAREER TECHNOLOGY PROGRAMS. I'M WORKING ON DEVELOPMENTS FOR THE SCHOOL SITES AS WELL.
SO WITH THAT ANY QUESTIONS. NOW SEE THE IDEAS BEFORE THE CRS WAY EXTENSION. NOW THE RANGE LINE.
IT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE TO HAVE THAT INTERCHANGE BUILT IN CONJUNCTION WITH WHAT THEIR PLANNING EFFORTS ARE RATHER THAN EVEN MORE SOUTHERN OR SOUTHWEST WITH THE AGE RESTRICTED COMMUNITIES THAT ARE FORECASTED.
SO JUST TYING ALL THOSE PIECES TOGETHER. IT'S NEED FOR ME O
TIE THIS ALL TOGETHER TODAY. >> OUR INTERCHANGE WAS TAKEN.
IT'S ON THE RADAR BUT NOT AS SON AS YOU PREDICTED.
>> I LOOKED ON INDIAN RIVER DRIE MIDWAY FOR THE LAST 30 YEAR.
THE NEXT PHASE IS NOT TOO FAR BEHIND WHICH WILL INCLUDE TE
BRIDGE OVER TURNPIKE. >> IT WORKS WELL FOR US.
[00:35:24]
LET EVERYBODY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING.THERE WAS ENOUGH MONEY THERE THT CAME IN.
IS THERE ANYMORE PLANNED WITH TE DISTRICT TO CONTINUE THAT PROCESS AND THE PROCESS THAS ALREADY BEEN STARTED FOR WET
CERTAINLY. WE SAW THOSE -- THE CURRICULUM FOLKED AT THAT ONE AND APPLD FOR THE GRANT.
FOR THE SAME FACTORS. WHAT'S THE WORK FORCE NEED.
WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT INTERES THE STUDENTS AND HOW CAN WE BRING THE SCHOOL ON AND THOE ARE THINGS THAT THEY WILL EVALUATE THE PROGRAMS AND THOSE THAT ARE SUCCESSFUL.
THEY ARE SERBLY -- CERTAINLY GOG TO CONFUSE THOSE FOR THE NEW
SCHOOL. >> AND I WILL TELL YOU THAT I'M EXCITED BECAUSE LOOKED AT A NEW HIGH SCHOOL LAST WEEK.
AND THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO WITH BETTER SPACE.
>> ESPECIALLY IF YOU'VE GONE TO WEST WOOD.
480 IN THE AUDITORIUM FOR A PLAY AND IT'S A HIGH BACKGROUND.
YOU GET A FULL STAY OH. A AND 25TH STREET.
IT WENT FROM CHANGE YOUR CULTUR. THE STUDENTS, THE STAFF, THE WORKER CENTRAL IS ONE OF THE BEST PERFORMING SCHOOLS WE HAVE IN THE DISTRICT. THAT INVESTMENT IN THE INFRASTRUCTURE CREATES BETTR PROGRAM, BETTER PERFORMANCES WELL. SO WE'RE EXCITED. MORE WERE BUILT. I WANT TO GO BACK TO YOUR COMMET AND FOLLOW WITH COMMISSIONE. AND MY CONCERN WAS WHEN THEY MAE A PRESENTATION IN THAT AS WL AS THAT WHOLE THE NUMBERS TY PRESENT IS SHOCKING. DO YOU SHARE YOUR PROJECTED POPULATIONS TO GET TO THAT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT COMMENT AND WILL BE WATCHING THAT VY CLOSELY.
[00:41:24]
SNIPE WAS WONDERING HOW YOU BRIE THAT GAP.>> THAT PROJECT HAS BEEN PULLED FOR 15 YEARS.
WE HAVE BEEN GENERATING MONEY. AS A RESULT WE ARE ABLE TO PAY F SOME CERTIFICATES OF PARTICIPATION FROM OTHER SCHOOLS OVER THE TIME. THE CERTIFICATES OF PARTICIPATIN WILL HELP US BRIDGE THAT GA. THESE ARE BUILT FOR 50 PLUS YEARS. CERTIFICATE OF PARTICIPATION ARE 20 YEAR PERIODS OR SOMETHING WE HAVE TO DEPEND FOR THE INDICATORS TO BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY.
YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO MAKE ANY REL MISTAKES.
YOU JUST CAN'T DO THAT. IT'S A BIGGER PROCESS THAN THAT.
WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER ENROLLMENT.
THEY DECIDE TO GO TO A CHARTER SCHOOL.
THEY CHANGE THEIR MIND NEXT WEE, TOMORROW.
IT'S A LOT OF MOVING PARTS THATE DON'T HAVE CONTROL OVER. -Z AS WELL AS DEVELOPMENT IN 2005.
BUT WE DON'T DO THAT. . WE KNOW 25% IS AGE RESTRICTED.
WE TAKE THOSE OUT OF THE EQUATION.
WE DO HAVE A LITTLE CONTROL OVER THAT.
WE HAVE AGREEMENTS WITH THEM THT THEY CAN'T CHANGE THAT WITHT OUR APPROVAL AND MANY OF THE AGREEMENTS THE SCHOOL IMPACT FEES ARE IN FULL IF THEY RELEASE THE AGE IMPACT FEE RESTRICTIONS AND THEN WE MAY HAVE TO NEGOTIATE FOR A SCHL SITE AS WELL IF THEY DO THA. --
[00:45:18]
>> IT'S VERY IMPORTANT I THINK N OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS AS
WE MOVE FORWARD. >> WHAT ARE WE DOING WITH THE
PROPERTY? >>> WE DON'T HAVE ANY PLANS.
>> A HANDFUL OF OFFERS BUT MOST HAVE BEEN INSULTING.
IF THINGS CHANGE AND WE NEED A SCHOOL SITE IN FORCE PIERCEE WILL BE OUT AT 11-MILE ROAD. OKEECHOBEE AND MIDWAY IF WE DONT HAVE THE SCHOOL SITE HERE. IT WOULD BE FOR THE COMMUNITY.
ONCE WE GET THAT SITE UP. IT'S GONE FOR EVER.
WE ARE GOING TO BE STUCK WITH WONDERING WHY WE BUILT A SCHOOL TEN MILES WEST OF FOT PIERCE.
THE WHOLE CHANGE OF THE DYNAMIC. A LOT OF OUR FORCE PIERCE GO TO WEST WOOD. THE WAY THAT WEST WOOD IS DESIGNED. WE HAVE NO EXPOSURE.
>> THIS IS A MONUMENT OR A PLACE MAKER IN THE COMMUNITY IS SO IMPORTANT. WE HAVE LIMITATIONS IN THE SHAPE AND SIZE OF THE PROPERTY IN THE CANAL IN THE EASTSIDE AD POWER LINES ON THE WEST SID. WE WILL FIGURE SOMETHING OUT.
WE ARE EXCITED TO DO THAT. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I APPRECIATE YOU SHARING THIS INFORMATION.
VERY INTERESTING THE WAY YOU PLANNED.
[b. Port Property Transfer Discussion]
>> THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA S THE PORT PROPERTY TRANSFER
DISCUSSION. >> YES, MA'AM, MADAME MAYOR.
WE ARE GOING TO GET A LITTLE SML PRESENTATION CUED UP FOR YO.
[00:50:33]
CURRENTLY USED IN PARKING. THEY ARE BOTH ZERO 0.77 ACRES IN SIZE. THE ONE ON THE EASTSE OF SECOND STREET. NOW THE WEST PARTIAL COULD POSSIBLYF IF ASSUME BID THE CITY OF FT PIERCE COULD BE USED FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TO INCLUDE INCREASED PARKING FR THE AREA. IT WILL NEED TO ETRANSFERRED FOR OWNERSHIP. >> IF THIS DOES OCCUR.
SO WE PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION O YOU AND THIS OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUR FEEDBACK AND IF YOU DO HAVE A GENERAL CONSENSUS OF POSITIVITY THEN WE SHALL MOE FORWARD.
>> SO AVENUE M. >> YES, MA'AM.
DISCUSSION? ASK A LOT OF QUESTIONS IN FRONTF THE TASK SPECIFICALLY ON THE BOAT RAMP PORTION.
AND I THINK THERE'S SOME OPPORTUNITY THERE FOR THE E PANGS OF THAT BOAT RAMP ARE. THAT'S JUST THAT NEXT PICTURE WS A PICTURE BEFORE THIS ONE. THEY WERE RESPONSIBLE FAR LOT OF
RIGHT OF WAY. >> AS HE GOES EAST AND THEN BENS TO THE NORTH NAP WAS MY QUESTION TOO.
>> A RAILROAD THERE THERE A THEY HAD TO GO UP OVER.
>> COMING FROM AVENUE O BUT THAT IS NOT PROPOSED AT THIS TIM.
>> WHO R WE BELIEVE THAT PARKING IS IN ASSOCIATION WITH FISCHERMAN'S WAR WARF BOAT RAMP.
SIT PROPOSING TO RELOCATE THAT BOAT RAMP.
>> DO I BELIEVE PARKING IS A MAR CONCERN.
THEY PROPOSING THE EAST PAR PACCEL.
THAN IS SOMETHING I BELIEVE THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE CAN GREATLY BENEFIT FROM. WE HAVE A BUSINESS OPERATOR THEE
[00:55:49]
THAT HAS NO IDEA WHERE HIS FUTURE IS SUPPOSED TO BE.WE NEED TO NAIL SOME DOWN. >> THERE'S A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY.
THE PROPERTIES WE WERE CONSIDERG THAT WE WERE CURRENTLY ON.
THE CITY PROPERTY TO THE SOUTH. >> IT COULD IF THEY WANTED THAT.
WE COULD ENTER INTO SOMETHING WH THAT IF THAT'S THERE OR HOWO WE SEE FIT? ?
>> YES. >> WE HAVE BEEN AWAY FROM THIS R WHILE. EVER SINCE IT MADE THE DECISION.
IT'S A BIG DEAL TO US. >> WHAT IS THE IMPLICATION OF TE STORM WATER ISSUE. DOES THAT MEAN IT CONSUMES THAT RESPONSIBILITY AND ARE THEY CLEAR ON THAT? THAT BECOMES THIS ST. LUCIE COUY RESPONSIBILITY IF THAT
TRANSFER WERE TO OCCUR. >> THE ONLY THING THEY HAVE TO Y IS THIS SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO E TRUE.
>> THEY JUST REALLY WANT THE LA. >> I THINK WE GAINED SOMETHING O THAT. IF WE CAN GAIN ACCESS TO THAT PK RIGHT THERE. THAT TIES IN THE DEVELOPER THATS GOING IN HERE. IT GIVES IT A COMPLETE FEEL ANDI AGREE THE NEXT TEN YEARS I WOULD THINK.
THESE TWO CRITICAL AREAS THAT WE REALLY NEED TO THINK ABOUT BECAUSE YOU REMEMBER WE HAVE DIRECTOR THERE AND A NUMBERF OTHER THINGS HAPPEN IN THIS AREA.
>> I THINK IT IS POSITIVE BY THS COMMISSION.
ARE YOU CLEAR? >> I AM CLEAR AND WE SHALL MOVE FORWARD AND COME BACK TO YOU IN THE FUTURE WITH A
[c. Proposed Parking Ordinance]
FORMALIZED AGREEMENT. >> THE NEXT ITEM IS A PROPOSED
[01:00:04]
PARKING ORDER. OUR PARTICPANTS WILL BE JOININGUS BY TELEPHONE. >> WE DO HAVE OUR SPECIAL PROJES COORDINATOR AND COMMUNITY RESPONSE COMING TO TALK ABOT PARKING IN FORT PIERCE AND MORE SPECIFICALLY WE WILL HE OUR PARKING CONSULTANTS GUIDING US THROUGH A PRESENTATION ON THE REVISIOS FOR THE PROPOSED FOR THE PARKING ORDINANCE THAT WILLE PRESENTED TO YOU IN A FORMER
CITY MEETING. >> I'LL HAVE TO LEAVE EARLY TOD.
THERE'S A LOT TO TALK ABOUT TOD. >> GOOD MORNING MADAME MAYOR.
TODAY STAFF IS HERE TO PRESENT O YOU A PROPOSED PARKING OR ORDINANCE. THE UPDATED RESULTS OF THE STUD.
THERE ARE SOME ADDITIONAL AREAS THAT WE KNEW NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED. STAFFING, OUR COMMUNITY RESPONSE DIRECTOR AS WELL AS THE POLE DEPARTMENT DEPUTY CHIEF WAS ALSO A PART OF THAT TEAM AS WELL AS REACHED OUT TO DEANT THE MARINA. WHAT I DISTRIBUTED TO YOU BEFORE THE MEET RELIGION PRELIMINAY RESULTS OF THAT SURVEY. .
>> I SENT THE E-MAIL TO ABOUT 10 BUSINESSES WHO PROVIDED E PHRAEULS E-MAILS THAT HAD ACTIVE BTRS TO GET THEIR INPUT. . THAT IS ALSO FOR YOUR REVIEW.
AND WITH THAT, THAT SETS THE GROUND.
TOM AND JIM ARE YOU READY? WE ARE GLAD TO BE WORKING WITH E CITY STAFF AS WELL AS THE PUBLIC.
[01:05:34]
>> IT PROVIDES THE GOOD BASIS ON WHO WE SHOULD CONSIDER IN TE DOWNTOWN AREA. WE LOOK AT PAID PARKING PROGRAM.
WE WANT TO VALUE THE PRIME REAL ESTATE SO TO SPEAK.
>> WANTING TO PUT IT DOWN AS YOU CONSIDER ALL OF THIS.
NOT ONLY DOWNTOWN AND CREATED TE PROGRAM THAT WAS ADEQUATELY
WITH THE GROWTH OF FORT PIE. >> BRIEFLY IT IS ADMINISTRATIVE AND THIS IS THE ABILITY FOR THE CITY ITSELF TO EXPAND AD GOVERN A PARKING PROGRAM. THE AUR AUTHORITY ASSOCIATED WIH THE PROGRAM. 8 PARKING REGULATIONS OR PARKING PERMITS ARE TWO SEPARATE WAS OF LOOKING AT THE PROGRAM ITSELF. SO IF WE CAN JUMP TO SLIDE NUMBR SIX. THIS IS WHAT IS BEING THE GOVERR IF YOU WILL TO ADAPTING A PARKING ORDINANCE WITHIN THE CITY CHARTER. IT HAS ALL THE DEFINITIONS WE SE ASSOCIATED WITH THE PARKING PROGRAM.
THINGS THAT WHAT IS A COMMERCIAL VEHICLE.
WHAT IS A PAID STATION. WHAT A PARKING VIOLATION AND A PAID PARKING SPACE. IT LAYS OUT THE DESCRIPTION OF E PROGRAM AN PUTS NIT MORE LAYMAN TERMS SO WE CAN UNDER STAND HOW THE VARIOUS OPPONENTS ARE APPLIED.
[01:10:36]
SLIDE NUMBER 7. THIS IS WHERE THE CITY COMMISSIN WOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY BASED ON STAFF RECOMMENDATIS TO ESTABLISHISH FEES FOR PAD PARKING AREAS.THESE COME AS WELL AS PERMIT FE. THEY ARE A LIVELY COMPONENT OF Y PARK ORDINANCE. IT WILL NOT BE ABOUT SHORT-TERMR IT COULD BE A LONGER TERM EMPLOYEE PARKING OR BUSINESS PARKING. WE WILL TALK ABOUT THAT AS WELL.
THAT WILL CAPTURE THAT VIOLATORO THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'A PROGRAM IN PLACE. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE RECOMMEND THAT THE CONSISTEY FACTORS REMAIN IN PLACE.
YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE VISITORS COMING DOWNTOWN TRYING TO GUESS WHAT THE HOURS OF OPERATION ARE BASED ON CERTN DAYS OR TIMES OF YEAR OR THINGS LIKE THAT. YOUR SMAL
BUSINESSES AS WELL. >> THIS IS HOW THE CURVE IS MANAGED NOWADAYS NOT JUST PK UP AND DELIVERY OF PASSENGES AND GOODS BUT ALSO DELIVERYF GOODS FOR SUPPLIERS TO SMALL BUSINESSES. SO IT AOS' BIG COMPONENT THERE S
WELL. >> THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGIN.
>> IF STH-B A CITY WIDE FESTIVA. YOU CAN ESTABLISH CERTAIN FEES R RATES OR HOURS OF OPERATION FOR SPECIAL EVENTS.
THIS IS REALLY A ONE DAY VENT OA MULTIPLE DAY EVENT.
IT GIVES THE CITY THAT ABILITY O OVER RIDE THIS SHORT-TERM PARKING NEEDS. NEXT SLIDE IS SLIDE NUMBER NINE.
PARKING PERMITS. SPOKE BRIEFLY ABOUT THIS.
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT PERMITS THAT THE CITY COULD RECOMMEND, INITIATE, IMPLEMT BASED ON CERTAIN SPECIFIC NEEDS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.
AND WE RECOMMEND STARTING SLOW N THIS PROCESS AND AS THE PARKING PROGRAM EVOLVES YOU CERTAINLY WANT TO CONSIDER DIFFERENT NEEDS FOR PERMITS FROM VARIOUS USER GROUPS.
THE FOUR LISTED ON THIS SLIDE THERE SPEAK TO A BUSINESS PARKING PERMIT. THIS COULD BE IN THE FORM OF EMPLOYEE PARKING OR SPECIAL BUSINESS NEEDS.
THEY HAVE TO HAVE ACCESS TO IN STREET LOCATIONS.
CONTRACT PARKING. DOWNTOWN HAVE REDEVELOPMENT THAT
[01:15:01]
ARE IN PLAY. YOU NEED TO HAVE A RESOURCE TO A CON TRACK TO BE ABLE TO ACCS BUSINESSES WHETHER IT BE NON-TPRAOET SPACE TO BE ABLE TO PERFORM THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS OR MOVE THE PROGRAM ALONG.IT'S SOMETHING YOU SEE VERY. PEW *R POPULAR AS A LOT RAN TO E STATE OF FLORIDA AS VERY WEL THERE.
THERE ARE PERMITS THAT PEOPLE DO WISH TO PURCHASE FOR LONG TM MARINA PARKING. CLEARLY THAT'S SOMETHING YOU WIL WANT TO ADDRESS. AND WE TALK ABOUT THIS PROCESS F WHAT TO DO AT THE BEACH. AND THE SLIDE IS -- IT'S AN ENFORCEMENT THAT IS SLIDING- AND THAT IS THE BEGINNING TE NARRATIVE HERE. IT'S HOW YOU REGULATE THE PARKIG PROGRAM ITSELF. AND THIS SPEAKS TO THE CITATION
>>> TO THIS POINT. >> TO STAY PARKING COMMITTEE HAS GONE THROUGH THIS AND MADE COMMENTS.
I THOUGHT THEY DID -- WE DID A REALLY GOOD JOB OF IT.
>> I BELIEVE IT HAS. I KNOW PEGGY HAS BEEN INSTRUMENL ALSO IN THOUSAND REALITY ESPECIALLY IN THE VIOLATION FORMAT PORTION OF HOW IT DOS FIT.
>> CHANGE IS HARD. IT TAKES QUITE A BIT TO GET PEOE TOOK SEPTEMBER CHANGE. THIS IS HUGE AND NOON TEN TALL - MONUMENTAL FOR FORT PIERCE. I'M LOOKING AT SOME OF THE COMMENTS. I KNOW PARKING COMMITTEE HAS WORKED REALLY HARD. WE HAVE DOWNTOWN BUSINESS OWNER.
WE HAVE VERY LIMITED PARKING NOW.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE MY COMMENTS ARE.
[01:20:02]
WHAT HAPPENED IN THE DISCUSSION. SOME OF THE RESIDENTS THAT MAYBELIVE DOWNTOWN IN FORT PIERC. >> WE HAD NOT SPECIFICALLY LOOKD AT IT. IT WAS COMMENT MADE T THE UBIC HEARING.
THAT IS OVER SIX NOW. THAT'S ONCE A WEEK.
SIT A DISCUSSION THAT WE WANTEDO HAVE WITH THE COMMISSION IS DID YOU WANT US TO LOOK FURTHER INTO PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY LIVE IN DOWNTOWN AREA. .
THAT IS IN THE PARKING OR VISITR PARKING OR ANYTHING LIKE TH.
>> THAT IS PART OF THAT HAVE CHANGE.
SIT HARD. I HAVE BEEN DOING IT FOR 20 OR 0 YEARS BUT NOW WITH THE GROWH OF DOWNTOWN AND NEW DEVEOPMENT COMING IN. DOWNTOWN.
WE KNOW THAT. OUR PARKING GARAGES WILL MAKE F.
>> ARE YOU TALK ABOUT THE NEW PARKING LOT THAT WE'RE LEASG RIGHT NOW. THAT WAS NOT CONSIDERED IN OUR PROPOSAL. ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT BEACH ACCESSES?
>> THINKING ABOUT THE -- >> AND IN PREVIOUS REITERATIONS.
WE HAD 9-5. IS IT BECAUSE WE ARE PEOPLE WORKING DOWNTOWN AND THEN PY AND PART OF DOWNTOWN. IF YOU ARE COMING DOWNTOWN TO GRAB YOUR BREAKFAST SANDWICH YOU WOULD HAVE TO PAY BECAUSE YR TIME WOULDN'T START UNTIL 90
[01:25:04]
A.M. >> THE 9:00 P.M. WAS BECAUSE ACTIVITIES WERE HAPPENING THROUGHOUT THE EVENING AND
MORE ACTIVE. >> YOU GO TO THE SHOW AND WHATER
EVENTS IS HAPPENING. >> A LOT OF DISCUSS.
WE TALKED ABOUT THE 5:00 END AND TAKING 10:00 AT NIGHT BUT TE 12 HOUR 9:00-9:00 SEEMED EAY TO REMEMBER.
>> IF YOU WANT TO PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION.
>> THEY PRESENT THE PROPOSAL OR THE REPORT TO THE CITY.
>> IT WAS ALSO PUT INTO THEIR CE PLAN.
>> IT WAS BEFORE THE PANDEMIC. SO THAT PORTION OF THE REPORT WE
SHELFED. >> WE HEARD EARLIER FROM MR. SANDERS ABOUT TKPWHRO*UT ST. LUCIE COUNTY.
>> WHEN YOU START TO THINK ABOUT IT, 10,000 OF THESE HOMES BEING BUILT OVERNIGHT AND WE ARE THE BEACH FOR PORT
ST. LUCIE. >> THE RESIDENTS -- I ALMOST FEL LIKE SOMEBODY FROM OUR STAFF OR SOMETIMES I THINK
[01:30:06]
COMMISSIONER JOHNSON STPHAOS TO HAVE WITH THE DOWNTOWNBUSINESS. >> I WOULD LIKE A LOT OF INPUT WITH THEM BEFORE WE ENACT TS ORDINANCE.
>> I LAST WEDNESDAY PRESENT -- >> IT WAS DURING THE MEETING. IT WAS ALL POSITIVE FEEDBACK. I DID NOT RECEIVE ANYING IN TIFF FEEDBACK DURING THAT MEETIN. SO IT WAS ALREADY PRESENTED.
NEXT GOOD THAT'S GOOD ORGANIZATION, THANK YOU.
WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO MAKE SOE MISTAKE.
WE KNOW THAT. ARE WE GETTING FEEDBACK BASED ON WHAT WE ARE DOING IN THE EMPLOYEE PARKING. THAT WAS E BIGGEST PART OF THAT. WE WOULD ENCOURAGE THEM FOR EMPLOYEES NOT TO PARK IN THE PREMIUM SPACES AN KNOW WHERE WE ARE WITH THAT. I THINK WE NEED TO BE REAL CLEAR ON WHAT WE HAVE IDENTIFIED N WHAT WE COULD HAVE PAID VERS
NON-PAID PARKING IN DOWNTOW. >> THAT'S STILL UNCLEAR.
PEOPLE HEAR WHAT THEY WANT TO H. WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
UNDERSTAND THAT. >> MADAME MAYOR.
YOU AND I BELIEVE COMMISSIONER JOHNSON NOTED THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO GIVE FEEDBACK PREVI. THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO SEE THEM UNDERSTAND THEM AND THEIR CONCERNS BECAUSE THEY ARE TRYING TO GET MORE PEOPLE IN BY TURNING INVENTORY.
I WON'T COME DOWN AND SUPPORT YOU.
WE NEED TO GET THOSE TWO PARTIES IN THE SAME ROOM.
THE ONLY THING WE DO IS WE INVIE THEM IN MY OPINION.
>> THEY HAVE A MONTHLY MEETING D WE ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO VISIT THEM AT THEIR MONTHLY MEETING AND PRESENT ANY BRIE IN A SHORTER VERSION OF OF THIS AND GET THEIR FEEDBACK.
>> I THINK WE OUGHT TO MAKE THAT EXTRA STEP.
SOMETIMES WHEN THINGS GET HEATE. NOBODY TOLD ME.
[01:35:03]
>> BRING THEM HERE. >> ALL FIVE REQUEST PARTICIPATE LEER. WE DON'T WANT TO GET IN A SITUATION WHERE TWO OR THROW COMMISSIONS THAT GO IN THAT MEETING THEY SHOULD COME HERE.
AND INVITE THE PUBLIC LIKE WE ALWAYS DO.
>> SO THE NEXT STEP IS GOING TOA FINAL ORDINANCE ANY TIME SOON. IF WE ARE PROCEEDING UNDER THATI HONESTLY FEEL THAT WE NEED COMMISSIONER JAY JOHNSON INPUT. HE NOT AND THIS IS SO IMPORTANT.
I DON'T KNOW HOW WE DO THAT. I JUST FEEL LIKE HE NEEDS TO BE PAR OF THE DISCUSSION. I MYSELF PERSONALLY DON'T WANT TO RUSH INTO THAT. THAT WAS THE PARKING ECONOMY.
DO THEY HAVE THE TIME FRAME IN MIND FOR THIS ENACTING
DISORDERRIANS. >> WE WERE WAITING UNTIL WE GOT THROUGH PROCESS AND ASSURE THAT WE HAD MUCH INPUT AND CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR BEFORE WE BECAUSE THE NEXT STEP IF THIS ORDINANCE IS APPROVED WILL E FOR US TO MOVE FORWARD TO TO PUT OUR RFPS.
WE COMPLETED THE SCOPE OF WORK R THE TECHNOLOGY FOR PAY BY PHONE AND ALSO FOR MANAGEMET AND OPERATION.
SO THOSE ARE SITTING READY, WAITING UNTIL WE GET THROUGH THIS PROCESS AND ESTABLISH WHAT IT MEANS AND WHATEVER PERMITS THAT THE COMMISSION WANTS TO MOVE FORWARD.
>> SO SINCE THIS IS AN FPRA ARE. DOES THAT INCLUDE --
>> >> WHAT I WAS GOING TO QUESTION- JUST TO CLARIFY WHAT JOHNSON SAID.
>> THERE'S ENOUGH SPECULATION PULLED UP ALREADY.
LET'S TURN UP THE TEMPERATURE DN AND HAVE A CONVERSATION AND DEAL WITH FACTS, DEAL WITH DATA AND I HAVE TO AGREE WIH THE MAYOR ON THIS ONE IS THE DOWNTOWN BUSINESS PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO ALIGN WITHS AND THEY HAVE TO DO IT PUBLICLY BECAUSE WHEN THE HT GETS TURNED UP --
>> WE DON'T NEED THEM SAYING THY DON'T KNOW.
THAT'S WHERE I COME DOWN AND THAT'S WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO HAPPEN HERE TO MAKE SURE THY FULLY UNDERSTAND.
THIS IS WHAT WEAR DOING AND ALSO PRESENTING THE OTHER OPTIONS WHERE THERE WILL BE NO CHARGE.
MAKE THAT VERY CLEAR AS WELL. THAT'S IMPORTANT.
>> I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S TOO SOO. >> AREN'T WE HAVING AN FPRA
MEETING TOMORROW? >> IS IT TOO SOON ADD A DISCUSSN OF THIS AT THE MEETING BECAE COMMISSIONER JAY JOHNSON WIL BE THERE OR WILL IT BE BETTR HAVE IT AFTER THE DOWNTOWN
THEY TALKING ABOUT THAT IN THE FUTURE. THE DYNAMICS ARE GOG TO CHANGE WITH THE TIME AND WITH KINGS LANDING AND WITH OTHER DEVELOPMENTS. WE JUST NEED TO BE THINKING ABOT DOING THE BEST THING FOR THE FUTURE.
[01:40:05]
ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM THE COMMISSIONER?>>> I JUST WANT TO MAKE A COMMET TO COMMISSIONER AND THE REST OF THE PARK COMMITTEE. THANK YOU.
THIS IS NOT ELZ WORK. THERE'S A LOT THAT IS GOING INTO THIS. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE O WORKED ON THESE COMMITTEES D THANK YOU TO THE CONSULTANT. WE ARE NOT RUNNING AND STICKING OUR HEAD IN THE SAND. THIS IS A TOUGH DECISION.
WE WANT TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISN AND LIT TAKE A LITTLE LONGER THAT WE GET ALL THE KEY PLAYERS ON THE TABLE AND WE FLUSH EVERYTHING OUT AND HAE THIS CONVERSATION.

[d. Project LIFT Presentation]
A PROJECT PRESENTATION. >> I BROUGHT IT TO THEIR POLICE MEETING. HAVE ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THIS
PROGRAM? >> YES, I VISITED THEM.
>> I WAS BLOWN AWAY. IT IS AN AMAZING PROGRAM.
THERE'S SO MANY KIDS THAT DON'T WANT TO GO TO COLLEGE.
THEY DON'T LIKE TO GO TO COLLEG. THEY LOVE TO WORK WITH THEIR HANDS. AND PROJECT LIFT TEACHES THEM A
WHOLE REALM OF ACTIVITIES. >> THAT IS ALWAYS MY ATTENTION O MAKE SURE WE ARE REALLY FOCUSING ON THIS YOUTH THAT ARE UNREACHABLE. THEY ARE HEADING IN THE PROGRAMS THAT ARE THROWN OUT OF AND KICKED OUT OF AND ALSO INCLUDING LE CHARLIE JUST DID. AND DOESN'T HAVE A COLLEGE DEGR.
REALLY GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY AND EXPERT THEFT OUR AREA. AM I AIMING IT ATA CERTAIN AREA?
[01:45:15]
>> >> I'M ALSO A LICENSED PSYCHO THERAPIST. START STARTED AS AN EMOTIONAL PROGRAM. IN A CLINICAL OFFICE.
SOME OF YOU GUYS HAVE HEARD THIS STORY. STARTED TEACHING THE KIDS ON THE END OF A FISHING ROD.
I HAD NO INTENTION OF DOING TREATMENT. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT. IN TERM OF GETTING SOMEWHERE IN
THE CLINICAL OFFICE. >> PUT SOME TOOL THEFT THEIR HAS TO GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO LK FORWARD TO AND THAT'S WHEN E HOPE AND PRIDE PIECE COMES IN.
I VIEWED IT AS AN INCREDIBLE REPLACEMENT SO RESILIENCE MODELS AND BEHAVIOR THERAPY AND EMOTIONAL INTERVIEWING.
HIS REPLAGUESMENT BEHAVIOR. AN OPPORTUNITY.
IF YOU DON'T REPLACE THE ORIGINL BEHAVIOR.
THAT WILL GET WORSE. THAT IS THE GUARANTEE IN PSYCHO THERAPY. THEY DID A BUDDY OF MINE.
I ASKED THEM IF THEY WOULD COME DOWN AND TEACH AUTOMOTIVIVE REPAIR DOWN THE HOOD OF THE CAR.
THAT WAS 12 YEARS AGO. >> WITH A STAFF ARBDZ *F AROUND4 STAFF MEMBERS INCLUDING ALL LICENSED PSYCHO THERAPISTS..
ABOUT 30% OF THE TEENS THAT WE WORK. VOCATIONAL TRAINING.
WE ALSO KNOW THIS. IT'S DIEING IN OUR COMMUNITIES.
HAS BEEN FOR A LONG TIME. >> I'LL SAY IT THE WAY IT IS.
IT'S VERY THIN. IT SPREAD AND IT'S NOT LIKE WHEN WE WERE KIDS TALKING ABOUT AUTO REPAIR AND WIELDING AND
THOSE. >> WORK FORCE DEVELOPMENT ALSO N
THE WORK FORCE DEVELOPMENT. >> AND HELP THEM BE ABLE TO DEAL EFFECTIVELY INSIDE THE INDUSTRY ON THE SIDE OF THE INDUSTRY. WE HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO BE ABLE TO PUT SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING IN THE INDUSTRY ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THAT'S ONE OF THE GOALS.
>> EMOTION SMALL LEARNING. . OF PRICE THAT PEOPLE HEAR.
CAN YOU GIVE ME A DEFINITION ON WHAT I UNDERSTAND. I LEARND ABOUT PROJECT LIFT AT THE ROUND TABLE.
>> THEY USE THIS PHRASE ALL THE TIME.
GETS GROWN AROUND AND MAYBE OUR LISTENERS NEED TO KNOW WHAT
YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. >> SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING IS A BUZZ PHRASE THAT'S OUT THERE.
THAT GIVES IF MOST CLEAR DEFINITION.
NOW LEARNING IS HOW DO I DEAL WH THAT EFFECTIVELY INSIDE OF A
[01:50:05]
COMPANY? WHAT WE DECIDED TO DO.WE ARE WAITING SLEEPING ON THE COUCH.
HAVE YOU EVER GOING TO GET OFF? >> LET'S DO IT WAY EARLIER.
THEY GET THE FIRST ISSUE. MAYBE THE FIRST ADJUDICATION.
NOW WERE IN. . >> HOW EDUCATION -- I BELIEVE TT EDUCATION IS DONE BEHIND WAS OF THIS SCHOOL.
THIS IS 2021. THERE ARE SO MANY PLATFORMS OUT
THERE. >> THERE ARE PLATFORMS AND A HIH SCHOOL -- NOT A GED BECAUSE HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMACY PROGRAM. THERE'S NO REASON WHY WE NEED TO BE DOING TKPW*E DS ANYMORE. ASK A PERSON THIS QUESTION.
YOU PROBABLY HEARD THIS. SO YOU HAVE A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA. NO I HAVE A GED. .
WE GOT TO CHANGE THAT STIGMA RELATED TO THAT PARTICULAR COME POM MEANT COMPONENT. WE HAVE HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAMS THT ARE OUT THERE AS THE GED PROGRAMS GET FASTER AND GET
PEOPLE TO FINISH LINE QUICK. >> THIS IS A GREAT PLATEAU. .
>> I'M THANKFUL TO HOPEFUL HELP WITH SOME OF THE SOCIAL ISS.
THE LIFE SKILLS AND THEY ARE ALL INCORPORATED TO EVERYTHING E
DO. . >> THEY ARE PRODUCTIVE -- AND TY GET SOME TO YOUNG MEN AND YOUNG LADIES TO A POINT WHEE THEY CAN'T REALLY FEEL LIKE THEY ARE CONTRIBUTING.
IT ACTUALLY HELPS YOU GROW. IT'S CONTRIBUTION. .
THERE ALLY IS BEING SUPER HUMBLE ON IT.
HE ACTUALLY DONATE THE PROBLEM R US TO PUT OUR HEADS DOWN AND BE ABLE TO DO EVERYTING THAT WE DO.
THAT'S SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING.
[01:55:17]
I LIVED IN ST. LUCIE COUNTY. MY CHILDREN PLAY SPORTS HERE.EVERYTHING THAT GOES ON AND WORD WITH THE DISABILITIES DURING THAT BUILDING. I DID A LOT OF WORK BEHIND SCREENS. MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE OPERATIOL
SUPPORT. A TON OF MOMENTUM. >> IT'S BEEN AN AMAZING PER FORPHAPBT FOR EVERYTHING THT WE'RE DOING.
SO I DON'T MESS UP HER LAST NAM. >> LET'S ALL WORK TOGETHER.
WE WILL FIGURE OUT THE OPERATIOL SUPPORT.
I THINK WE ARE DOING GOOD IN THT AREA.
WE ALREADY HAVE THE RELATIONSHIS WITH CERTAIN SERVICES COUNCIL. UNITED WAYS.
INDIVIDUAL DONORS ESPECIALLY CRS OVER DONORS.
SO OUR FLAG SHIP LOCATION IS IN PALM CITY.
WE HAVE ANOTHER SITE OUT. THE GREAT PART IS WE HAVE A LOTF CROSS OVER DONORS ALREADY. VERY INTERESTED IN MAKING SURE E INDIVIDUAL COME TPHOEPBTS AE COFFER COVERED HERE IN A VEY GOOD POSITION. NEXT SLIDE.
>> THIS IS JUST A PICTURE. VERYIED A ADMINISTRATIVE BUILDIG WILL BE ABLE TO DO A FEW THINGS RIGHT OFF THE BAT.
THE PROPERTY IS LARGE AS WELL. HAVE THE RESHRA*EUGSSHIP WITH CLEVELAND CLINIC. ALSO WANT TO HELP US WITH SOME INFRASTRUCTURE ON THAT PROPERTY AS WELL. .
>> THIS IS THE. I THINK IT DROPPED OFF PRETTY W.
IT'S A STRONG FOUNDATION INCLUDG ADMIN FINANCE OBVIOUSLY
DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATIONS. >> WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO START F ON JUST A LITTLE BIT. WE KNOW IT'S A PARK.
WE KNOW IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PARK AD DON'T WANT TO END UP BUILDIG FLATS OUT THERE AT 31 FEET D SO ON.
ON A SMALL LEVEL. >> AS PART OF THE SAILING.
WE HAVE VOLUNTEERS THAT COME IN AND WORK ON A REGULAR BASIS.
THAT'S ONE OF THE HARDEST PARTSF KEEPING THE FOUNDATION GOING IS TRYING TO FIND PEOPLE TO REPAIR OUR EQUIPMENT.
USING THIS STUFF HEIFER DAY ANDT BREAKS DOWN QUITE OFTEN.
WE FEEL LIKE OUR PARTNERSHIP WIL REALLY HELP.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT SOME LIGHT AND THE FINER GLASS WORK.
WE DON'T NEED TO DO A WHOLE -- WHICH IS WHAT MAVERICK AND PATH FOUNDER AND SOME OF THE OTHER SMALLER OR LARGER AND SMALLER ARE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO.
IT'S A SMOOTH CLEAN WAY OF DOING IT.
IT WILL BE PUT UP INTO THAT THAT AREA.
NEXT SLIDE. IT'S THE FOUNDATION THROUGH STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS. IF YOU LET THOSE BUILDINGS SIT Y
[02:00:30]
LONGER. YOU END UP SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL ISSUES WITHIN THOSE BUILDINGS.>> WITH THE PROJECT LIFT PROGRAMMING.
TO DO THINGS TO MAKE IT WORK INA WAY THAT'S BENEFICIAL FOR TE CENTER AND FOR PROJECT LIFT AND FOR THE CITY AS WELL.
IT'S APPROPRIATE FOR WHAT THEY E DOING.
NO WEEKENDS AND WE ARE ONLY GOIG TO BE OPERATING IN THE AFTER SCHOOL HOURS. WEEKDAYS AND AFTER SCHOOL HOURS.
BUT NO WEEKENDS. >> WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE ANY IMPACT ON THE TOURISM THAT'S THERE AND ALSO ON THE RESIDENTS OF OUR CITY WITH PARKING IN THAT WAY.
>> IT'S ACCESS TO A LOT OF PEOPE DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO.
[02:05:03]
THAT AOEFS WHAT WE WERE REALLY LOOKING FOR.>> I'LL NEVER USE THE WORD GOOD DRUG DEALER AGAIN.
I APOLOGIZE. I HAVE A CREATIVE LICENSE BECAUE
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. WE ARE REALLY TO OPEN.
THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS ABOUT PROJECT LIFT IN THINGS HOW E ARE FUNDED. I BELIEVE IT WAS ABOUT 2018 AND AIMED THE AGREEMENT TO PROVE THE PAVILION THAT THEY HOUSD AND DID SOME REMODELING ON D DID SOME TEACHING OUT OF.
THE REQUEST BEING MADE IS THAT YEAR 23 EXPIRATION IS EXTEND TO 2026. IS THAT CORRECT?
SO WE WANT THAT. >> AND IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE
CAN DO. >> WHAT I WOULD DO IS WORK WITH STAFF TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CRACK A LICENSE AGREEMENT TT IS A TRUE LICENSE AGREEMENT AND NOT ONE THAT IS A LEASE
BUT CALLED A LICENSE AGREEM. >> I WON'T GO THERE.
SO, WERE YOU FINISHED? >> UNLESS YOU HAVE ANYMORE QUESTIONS FOR ME. THANK YOU FOR THAT. IT'S A MART
[02:10:26]
POOL OPPORTUNITY THAT WILL CHALLENGE THE CURRENT NEGATE FORCES IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT TEND TO ATTRACT THE PEOPLE THAT EARLY ON GET IN TROUBLE AND IT GROWS FROM THERE. SI I AGREE WITH YOU. THE FURTHR PROGRESSION DOWN THAT PATH.IT'S SOMETHING LIKE THAT THAT WL BE POSITIVE.
I THINK OF IT AS OUR MARKETING E STREET VENDORS THAT ARE OUT THERE. WE WILL OUT MARKET THEM BY PROVIDING FINANCIAL INCENTIS BUT THE HOPE AND ASPIRATION.
I LOOKED AT THE CURRENT KPHAERTG AGAINST THE CURRENT STREET SEVEN DOORS ARE OUT THERE. THE THING THAT I WANT TO ASK ABT IS THE DELAWARE PROFIT. WE FIRST HAD THIS CONVERSATION T WAS ABOUT DELAWARE. HAVE WE LOOKED AT TRANSPORTATION
CHALLENGES? >> I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SURE.
WE HAVE A STRONG CONTINGENCY. THERE'S TWO WAYS TO TACKLE THIS.
I'M A BIG FAN OF THE DESTIGMATIZING MENTAL HEALT.
YOU DON'T DO IT BY PICKING THEMP IN A 12 PASSENGER VAN.
IT DOESN'T HAPPEN THAT WAY. THE 16-YEAR-OLD WILL NOT GET IN THAT CAR. THEY PICK UP THOSE FANS AND BRIG
THEM BACK. >> THIS IS PART TWO WITH YOU JUT REPAIRED THIS CAR AND YOU DD A GREAT JOB ON IT AND YOU ME A LOT OF GREAT SOCIAL E PHAOEGSAL GAINS.
THIS CAR IS FOR YOU. AND WHAT THAT DOES IS IT HELPS US ENR SEED ON THE POVERTY COMPONENTS.
WE GAVE WAY 151 CARS TO FAMILIES IN OUR COMMUNITIES THAT NEED CARS AND A GOOD PORTION OF THEM GO TO THE TEENS AND YOG ADULTS THAT WE WORK WITH. WE ARE NOT EVER GOING TO GET AWY FROM THAT MODEL. THAT'S HOW WE SOLVE OUR PROBLEM.
NOW IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT A GREATER PROBLEM RELATED TO E ENTIRE COMMUNITY. IT DOES HAVE TO DO WITH
DISTRIBUTION. >> HOW DO WE GET THIS PART WHERE WE ARE WORKING WITH THIS KI. THEY ARE TRAINED IN THE WAY THAT THE COMPANY WANTS THEM TRAINED.
NOW THEY WILL HAVE TO GET TO THT WORK SITE.
[02:15:29]
BESIDES THE -T 19TH CIRCUIT WHAT OTHER PASS WAYS WOULD A PERSON HAVE TO GET IN THE PROGRAM LIKE THIS.>> WE HAD SEVERAL MEETINGS WITH THE ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION PROGRAM DIRECTOR. KR-FP KHAULGS COVID-19 CHANGED EVERYTHING. THERE'S PREAND POSTS COVID-19.
MOST CAME FROM CIRCUIT 19. DEPARTMENT OF JUVENILE JUSTICE.
>> ANY FAN IS BEING BULLINGLIEDT SCHOOL.
SCHOOL DISTRICT SHUTDOWN. WHICH SAVED A LOT OF KIDS FROM BULLYING. BUT ALSO OPENED ANOTHER DOOR.
IT WAS SAFE FOR THIS GROUP TO GO TO SCHOOL AND IT WAS SAFE FR
THIS GROUP TO STAY HOME. >> THEIR PARENTS ARE BACK TO WORK. WE HAVE SEEN A HUGE UP TICK. .
>> WE ARE SERVING -- SOME OF THE OTHER PROGRAMS THAT ARE OUT THERE. WE HAVE SERVING THIS AREA FOR A
PRETTY LONG TIME. >> NOW COMING TOGETHER TO TWO RIVERS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN E ARE ALL JAMMED IN THE MIDDLE
OF IT. >> THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO EXPAN.
LAST YEAR I THINK OUR NUMBERS WE JUST OVER 70 FROM ST. LUCIE COUNTY. AGAIN INVOLVING TRANSPORTATION ISSUES SO PARTNERING WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO DRIVE THEM HALF WAY PW-P. MEET THEM AT THE MALL AND GO THE REST OF THE WAY IT WAS WELL WORTH IT.
WE SAW A LOT OF INCREDIBLE SUCCESSES AND IT'S TIME.
>> ACTUALLY RAN BY THE FACILITY THIS MORNING.
EVERY TIME I GO BY THE FOLKS STT TO LOOK A LITTLE SAD.
THE SAND HAS NOW WASHED UP ON TE SIDEWALK.
THE FACILITY AGAIN IS NORTH AND THE MAINTENANCE ROAD THAT WS DOWN THROUGH THERE. I'M ASSUMING WERE ARE TALKING ABOUT OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THEM.
AND PART OF THAT THING IS A LITE MORE SKOEPB TRAITED ON FOLKS THAT NEED THAT HELP TO JUMPO BE PRODUCTIVE.
YOU GOT TO DEAL WITH THEM ON A DIFFERENT LEVEL.
I AM LOOKING AT AS A PARTNER AT THE PARK.
YOU HAVE BOAT TRAILERS. YOU ARE USING THAT SERVICE ROADY ON THE NORTH END OF THE PAR. THEY ARE LOOKING TO UTILIZE THE PARK DURING THE WEEK. WE HAVE NOT HAD TOO MUCH DISCUSSION ON HOW THEY WOULD GET ON THAT NORTHWEST CORNER THERE. AND I BELIEVE THE STUDENTS CAN ACCESS THROUGH THE WALKWAY OPINION.
[02:20:07]
VEHICLES DON'T BECOME A PROBLEM. AND IN THE WEEK THEY ARE NOT THT BUSY. IF THEY WERE THERE ON THE WEEKED THAT IS A LITTLE BIT OF A CHALLENGE.I AM TRYING TO GET AHEAD OF THA. WE HAVE A LOT OF TIME GOING ON.
>> WHEN YOU HEAR FROM THE PADDLE BALL AND THE TENNIS PEOPLE D THE BASKETBALL AND THE PARK. PLAYGROUND.
WE KEEP GOING ON AND ON AND ON. AND YOU ARE JUST ANOTHER JEWEL N THIS CROWN. SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE AND IT
BECOMES A PROBLEM. >> WE GET A COUPLE CARS THAT ARE PARKED BY OUR BUILDING. I THINK A1A IS NOT REGULATED.
JUST THE LOGISTICS IS AN IMPORTT THING.
I CAN'T HELP IT. THERE'S A GENE INSIDE OF ME THAT HAS SOMETHING TO DO. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
I THINK THAT IS A GREAT IDEA. >> THERE'S SOME SORT OF PARKING
ISSUE GOING ON. >> I KNOW THAT THANK YOU VERY MUCH. . THE BUILDING I THINK AT THE GRET SPOT AND I'M GLAD THAT YOU'E MINDFUL OF EVERYTHING THAT GOES ON IN JC PARK BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT THAT GOES ON N JC PARK. AND JUST BEFORE THE COMMISSION BEFORE. YOU CAN'T EXTEND IT.
YOU CAN'T CHANGE IT. WE ARE ABLE TO GIVE THESE YOUNG FOLKS TO SEE, NUMBER ONE YOU GOT TO LIKE IT. YOU GOT TO LIKE IT. HERE IS SOMEONE ELSE..
>> THAT YOU WERE TRYING TO INSTL IN PEOPLE.
[02:25:02]
IT'S A PRIDE IN THEIR WORK ETHIC AND THEIR SENSE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT. SO I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS. AT SOME POINT. WE MIGHT HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT SOME COMPONENT. MOST OF THESE KIDS.I SHOULD SAY 99% OF THESE KIDS HAVE NEVER BEEN OVER THE BRIDGE. NEVER SWAM IN THE RIVER.
>> WONDERFUL. I WILL QUIT WORRYG ABOUT IT.
>> . AS WE ARE PLAGUE FOOTBALL AND UP AND DOWN SUCCESSFUL. THE DIVISION ONE COLLEGE.
SO SOME OF THOSE, HIS FRIENDS WK OUTS AND THEY WOULD NOT TOUH THE WATER BECAUSE THEY WERE AFRAID OF SWIMMING. IT IS A HOT BUTTON FOR ME. I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT CAN EASILY PUT INTO OUR LIFE SKL PROGRAMMING TO FIND OUT WHAT THE NEED IS --. AND THE CHAMPIONSHIP SWIMMING TM
EVERY YEAR. . >> WE HAVE ALL THESE DIFFERENT ENTITIES OFFER. HOW YOU GOG TO ACCESS THEM.
[02:30:32]
>> SO ANYBODY WANT TO ADD ANYTHG THAT'S REAL?
>> WE ARE HERE TALKING ABOUT JC PARK.
I HOPE THE COMMUNITY KNOWS WHATA BLESSING THIS IS.
WE HAVE TONS OF GREAT PROGRAM THEFT FORT PIERCE.
IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU GOT A PRETTY GOOD CONSENSUS TO MOVE FORW.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION.
