[00:05:02]
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIPS ARE SECOND TO NONE. I'M PROUD OF THEIR LEADERSHIP ABILITIES. SHARING OUR MISSION AND VISION AND INITIATIVES WITH THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE AND ST. LUCIE COUNTY. WE WANT THAT TO HAPPEN. (LAUGHTER)>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND SUPPORT. I WILL ALLOW TYLER AND SYDNEY TO SHARE WITH YOU. THANK
>> GOOD EVENING. I'M TYLER AS ADRIANA INTRODUCED.
I'M STUDENT PRESIDENT FOR STUDENTS4H20.
>> GOOD EVENING. I'M SYDNEY DANIEL. BECAUSE SHE TALSEKED A LOT ABOUT ME I WANT TO INTRODUCE ADRIANA AS OUR FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT OF STUDENTS4H20. SHE BECAME PASSIONATE ABOUT ENVIRONMENT, ADVOCACY AND WATER CONSERVATION IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. (INAUDIBLE) UNITED NATIONS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGE IN 2016. ADRIANA IS AN AMAZING ADVOCACY AND INFLUENCE FOR THE MEMBERS OF STUDENTS4H20. I VERY MUCH LOVE BEING IN HAD THIS CLUB WITH HER. SHE'S VERY INFLUENTIAL AND YEAH.
HERE ARE SOME OF HER ONE OF MANY OF VERY MUCH CREDENTIALS.
HERE ARE HER AWARDS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
>> I'M TYLER DANIEL. I'M THE IMB PRESIDENT STUDENT FOR STUDENTS4H20. MY PASSION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ADVOCACY STARTED IN THE THIRD GRADE. I WAS BORN AND RAISED FOR EIGHT YEARS IN MIAMI. WHEN I MOVED TO THE COAST, IT WAS THE PEAK OF ONE OF THE ALGAE BLOOMS. IT NOT ONLY PIQUED MY INTEREST AND I WAS CONCERNED. SO IN THIRD GRADE I WROTE AN ESSAY ABOUT MY THOUGHTS AND PERSPECTIVE ON THE CRISIS AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT IT HAD ON OUR COMMUNITY. I WON FIRST PLACE IN MARTIN COUNTY AT THAT TIME. NOW I'M THE STUDENT PRESIDENT OF STUDENTS4H20. I STARTED IN SEVENTH GRADE. I'M ALSO AN INTERNATIONAL BACK LORE RECEIPT STUDENTS AND DUALLY ENROLLED IN STATE COLLEGE. MY MAIN FOCUS WITH STUDENTS4H20 -- THIS ALLUDES TO LATER ON OUR PRESENTATION BUT WE WORK ALONGSIDE WITH THE UNITED NATIONS GOAL. I'M VERY PASSIONATE. STUDENTS4H20 WAS ESTABLISHED IN MARTIN COUNTY. SINCE THEN WE HAVE GROWN TO HAVE A DIVERSE MEMBER BASE. SO WE HAVE STUDENTS FROM DIFFERENT SCHOOLS, DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS. SOME OF WHICH ARE HOME SCHOOLED.
WE HAVE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS, ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS. AGAIN, WE'RE VERY DIVERSE MEMBER BASE. THROUGH STUDENTS4H20 WE'RE ADVOCATING FOR STUDENTS TO NOT ONLY ADVOCATE FOR OUR ENVIRONMENT BUT TO BECOME CITIZENS, STEWARDS AND EMPOWER AND SAVE THE EARTH ONE STUDENT AT A TIME. THAT IS OUR MAIN GOAL THROUGH THIS ORGANIZATION.
HERE IS A LIST OF OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS. IT'S A DIVERSE GROUP WITH TEACHERS AND STUDENTS. WE ALL COME TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE THAT STUDENTS4H20 IS A VERY, VERY GOOD ORGANIZATION. THIS YEAR I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO START A STUDENTS4H20 CHAPTER AT LINCOLN PARK ACADEMY. I KNOW THE SLIDE SAYS 20 MEMBERS BUT WE HAVE 24 MEMBERS SIXTH TO 12TH GRADE. THEY'RE EAGER TO CREATE A CHANGE IN THE WORLD AND SHARE THEIR PASSION ABOUT IT. OF THE SO OUR MAIN OBJECTIVE TO DO SO IS ADOPT VETERAN'S MEMORIAL PARK. THIS WILL NOT ONLY EXPAND OUR PASSION BUT EXPAND OUR
[00:10:02]
ENVIRONMENTAL REACH INTO ANOTHER SECTOR OF OUR COMMUNITY. SO THROUGH THIS, WE PLAN ON NOT ONLY IMPLEMENTING THE UNITED NATIONS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS BUT WE PLAN ON PARTICIPATING IN COMMUNITY EVENTS, INITIATIVES LOCALLY AND GLOBALLY AND THEREFORE EXPAND OUR IMPACT NOT ONLY ON A LOCAL LEVEL ON THE TREASURY COAST BUT GLOBAL LEVEL AND SHOW THAT STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO TAKE ACTION, TAKE INITIATIVE, AND STRIVE FOR THE WORLD THAT WE WANT.SO HERE IS JUST SOME IMAGES OF OUR COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT. I KNOW IN MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, I'VE BEEN TO A LOT OF FESTS AND VOLUNTEERING. I REALLY ENJOY IT. TI ENJOY SPEAKING TO PEOPL, TEACHING, EDUCATING PEOPLE ABOUT THE WATER, LAND AND ADVOCATING FOR OUR PLANET. THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS, PRINCIPALS AND LEADERS OF MARTIN COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT, WE TRY TO ADVOCATE FOR CITIZENS AND PLANET AND ENVIRONMENT TO ENSURE ONE UNIFIED NATION TO THINK GLOBALLY.
THESE ARE THE UNITED NATIONS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS I ALLUDED TO PREVIOUSLY. SEPTEMBER 2015, 193 LEADERS AMONG THE UNITED NATIONS AGREED TO ESTABLISH THE 17 SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS. NUMBER THREE, GOOD HEALTH AND WELLBEING IS THE ONE I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT AND MENTIONED EARLIER. THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THE GLOBAL GOAL SOCIAL SECURITY WORK TOGETHER TO END POVERTY, REDUCE INEQUALITIES AND PROTECT OUR PLANET BY 2030.
WORKING IN CONJUNCTION WITH THESE GOALS AND IMPLEMENTING THEM INTO NOT ONLY OUR MEETINGS BUT ALSO WHAT WE DO OUTSIDE OF THE CLUB IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE ALSO VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT.
DESPITE THE NAME STUDENTS4H20 WE DO INCORPORATE OTHER INITIATIVES AND OTHER ISSUES THAT ARE GOING ON, AND LEARNING ABOUT THEM AND ADVOCATING FOR THEM AS WELL AND SPREADING AWARENESS. AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THIS IS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL NUMBER 6, CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION. SO 785 MILLION PEOPLE LACK ACCESS TO CLEAN DRINKING WATER WHICH IS OVIOUSLY A BIG PROBLEM. WE'RE HERE TO TRY TO CHANGE THAT. MANY GIRLS IN DEVELOPING NATION SACRIFICE THEIR NATION TO COLLECT CONTAMINATED WATER FOR THEIR FAMILIES. EVEN WHEN THEY SACRIFICE EDUCATION, IT'S NOT EVEN FOR CLEAN AND SAFE DRINKING WATER. THIS GOES BACK TO THE OTHER GLOBAL GOALS LIKE NUMBER 4 AND 5, GENDER EQUALITY AND EDUCATION. THEY WALK 3-5 MILES DAILY CARRYING CANS THAT ARE 40 POUNDS WHEN FULL. WE'RE HERE TO TRY TO SPREAD AWARENESS AND TRY TO CHANGE IT SO WE CAN GIVE PEOPLE ACCESS TO DRINKING WATER THAT IS SAFE AND CLEAN. ONE WAY THAT AIDED IN SPREADING AWARENESS ABOUT THE GLOBAL WATER CRISIS AS SYDNEY MENTIONED IS BY PARTICIPATING IN A LONG WALK TO WATER FUND RAISING CONTEST. 20 SCHOOLS IN MARTIN COUNTY, THEY UNITED TO FUND FOR A WELL TO BE BUILT IN SOUTH SUDAN. AS A RESULT, WE HAD $21,000 RAISED.
THE WELL AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURE WAS FILLED IN SOUTH SUDAN. IT WAS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE BEING A PART OF IT.
IT WAS TRULY AMAZING. SEEING OUR WORK ACTUALLY COME TO LIFE WAS SOMETHING BEYOND BELIEF. IT WAS GREAT TO SEE THAT OUR WORK DONE HERE LOCALLY HAD AN IMPACT GLOBALLY, SOMEWHERE WHERE I'M SURE MANY OF US HAVE NEVER BEEN TO. BUT OF COURSE WE'RE MAKING AN IMPACT JUST FROM HOME. SO TRULY AMAZING. IT WAS VERY, VERY EXCITING TO WITNESS THAT, HOW WE ACT GLOBALLY AND IMPACT GLOBALLY. HERE IS (INAUDIBLE) HELD ON MAY 22ND, 2021.
(INAUDIBLE) AND CHIEF STRATEGY DIRECTOR OF WFSS SHARED A STORY OF FLEEING CIVIL WAR IN SOUTH SUDAN AND HOW HIS EXPERIENCE LED TO THE MISSION OF BRINGING CLEAN DRINKING WATER TO HIS HOME COUNTRY. I MYSELF WROTE "A LONG WALK TO WATER", THE BOOK INSPIRED BY THIS. I WAS ABLE TO READ INTO HIS EXPERIENCE. IT WAS REALLY COOL TO -- AND REALLY INTERESTING TO READ ABOUT WHAT
[00:15:02]
THIS WAS AND HOW I WANT TO BE ABLE TO HELP WITH THIS.THIS STORY IS A BEST-SELLER. (INAUDIBLE) HERE IS ONE OF OUR NOTABLE INITIATIVES. THIS IS THE CIGARETTE RECYCLING PROGRAM IN COLLABORATION WITH THE CITY OF STEWART AND TERRA CYCLE. STUDENTS4H20 RECEIVED A KEEP MARTIN BEAUTIFUL CHAMPIONSHIP AWARD FOR INVOLVEMENT IN THE INITIATIVE. FOR EVERY ONE POINT OF CIGARETTE BUTTS RECYCLED, THE KEEP AMERICA BEAUTIFUL FOUNDATION WILL DONATE $1 IN TERMS OF MAKING SURE OUR LAND IS CLEAN AND OUR ENVIRONMENT STAYS AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE. SO THE TERRA CYCLE CIGARETTE BUTTS WHICH I'M SURE MANY OF YOU HAVE SEEN IN THE ROAD OR SIDEWALK, THIS WAY THEY ARE RECYCLED AND NOT LEFT IN THOSE AREAS BUT ARE PROPERLY DISPOSED OF. HERE IS A VIDEO ORIGINALLY CREATED BY ADRIANA AT WATER FEST. THE.
(CHUCKLING) >> SORRY ABOUT THAT. WE'RE
TRYING TO PULL IT UP. >> SORRY.
>> COMPUTERS GOT A CASE OF THE MONDAYS. HERE IT IS.
[00:21:06]
>> SO THIS IS ANOTHER ONE OF OUR NOTABLE INITIATIVES. WE ARE PARTICIPATING IN A PLASTIC BAG INITIATIVE IN OUR SCHOOLS IN MARTIN COUNTY. AND WE HAVE PLASTIC BAG RECEPTACLES WHERE STUDENTS, TEACHERS AND STAFF PUT THEIR BAGS. MANY MEMBERS PICK THEM UP. WE'RE PARTNERED WITH PUBLIX. WE DISPOSE OF THE PLASTIC BAGS CORRECTLY THERE. IT'S NOT ONLY CONVENIENT FOR STUDENTS TO BRING IN THEIR PLASTIC BAGS TO SCHOOL AND HAVE A RECEPTACLE TO PUT THEM IN, BUT IT'S ALSO VERY ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY THE WAY WE'RE DISPOSING OF THEM INSTEAD OF THROWING THEM IN THE TRASH OR NOT EVEN COLLECTING THEM AT ALL BECAUSE I'M SURE MANY OF YOU HAVE PROBABLY SEEN PLASTIC BAGS LITTERED OUT IN THE STREETS OR IN THE WATER. THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF LITTER THAT WE ARE SPREADING AND HAVE A POSITIVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT.
ANOTHER ONE OF OUR INITIATIVES IS BUDDY BUNCH CONTEST. ON THE LEFT IS PARTICIPATING SCHOOLS TO DATE IN THE MARTIN COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT. THIS CONTEST IS WITH TWO SCHOOLS COLLECTING PLASTIC BAGS WITH THE MINIMUM OF 4,000 EARNING A BUDDY BENCH AT SCHOOLS. STUDENTS, STAFF, TEACHERS CAN BRING IN BAGS AND DISPOSE OF THEM AT THE SCHOOL'S RECEPTACLE. THE COLLECTION WILL BE DELIVERED TO PUBLIX. THEY'RE BEING DISPOSED CORRECTLY AND ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY. SO THIS IS A LIST OF OUR ADOPT A ROAD CLEANUPS IN MARTIN COUNTY FOR THIS SCHOOL YEAR, WHICH TRICKLES INTO NEXT YEAR. BUT WE ARE LOCATED ON GEORGIA AVENUE, WHICH IS IN STUART, AND THAT'S BETWEEN STUART AND MEMORIAL PARK AND STUART MIDDLE SCHOOL. THROUGH THE ADOPTABLE CLEANUPS AND BEING A MEMBER FOR FOUR YEARS NOW, I HAVE SEEN SOME VERY QUESTIONABLE ITEMS ON ALONGSIDE TE ROAD OR IN THE WATER.
NONETHELESS, OUR MEMBERS ARE MORE THAN EXCITED TO HELP OUT IN ANYWAY THAT THEY CAN, FISHING PLASTIC BAGS OUT OF THE NEARBY POND, TRYING TO REACH PLASTIC BOTTLES UNDERNEATH CARS. SO FOR ANY MEANS NECESSARY, OF COURSE, DOING SO IN A SAFE MANNER, WE ARE ALWAYS HAPPY TO CLEAN UP THE ENVIRONMENT IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. AS YOU COULD SEE, WE HAVE MEETINGS APPROXIMATELY EVERY MONTH OR SO -- OR EVERY OTHER MONTH RATHER. BY ADOPTING VETERAN'S MEMORIAL PARK, WE HOPE TO EMULATE A SIMILAR SYSTEM AT FORT PIERCE WITH STUDENTS FROM LINCOLN PARK ACADEMY AND ST.
LUCIE COUNTY AND OTHER SCHOOLS AS WELL. RIGHT NOW, OUR 24 MEMBERS ARE BEYOND EXCITED TO GET STARTED. WE HAVE OUR FIRST CLEANUP, FINGERS CROSSED, SCHEDULED NOVEMBER 27TH. SO WE ARE READY TO KICK START THAT AS SOON AS THAT DATE COMES AROUND.
AGAIN, THIS IS NOT ONLY A WAY TO TAKE OWNERSHIP IN OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR ACTIONS, BUT TO SAVE THE EARTH. AND EVEN PICKING UP TRASH ONCE A MONTH OR ONCE EVERY OTHER MONTH, IT'S MAKING A HUGE IMPACT BEYOND BELIEF. IT'S REALLY, REALLY INSPIRING TO NOT ONLY BE A PART OF THIS ORGANIZATION BUT TO BE PART OF THE INITIATIVE AND EXPAND OUR VISION AND MISSION TO OTHER PEOPLE. THANK YOU. WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. WE APPRECIATE YOU HAVING US HERE TODAY.
[00:25:01]
>> WE THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION? YES, SIR.
>> JUST A COUPLE. NOVEMBER 27TH, YOU SAID?
>> YES, THAT'S CORRECT. >> YOU'RE GOING TO HOST THAT
WHERE, THE PARK? >> VETERAN'S MEMORIAL PARK,
>> 10:00 A.M. >> I SAW SOME SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS IN THE VIDEO OR IN THIS PRESENTATION. SO YOU'RE SOCIAL
MEDIA? >> YES, INSTAGRAM, FACEBOOK AND YOUTUBE CHANNEL ALL AT STUDENTS4H20.
>> IT'S ON OUR BROCHURE. >> THERE YOU GO. TOKENS OF OUR
APPRECIATION. >> EXCELLENT. YOU SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THIRD GRADE. A TEACHER MADE AN IMPACT ON ME AS A YOUNG INDIVIDUAL, MAN IN THIRD GRADE TO REDUCE, REUSE AND RECYCLE. AND SO I'M WITH YOU. SO I COMMITTED MYSELF AND MY FAMILY TO RECYCLING AS MUCH AS WE CAN. ACTUALLY, OUTPRODUCING OUR RECYCLABLES RATHER THAN THE TRASH. I COMMEND YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS. VERY GOOD WITH YOUR OUTREACH. VERY GOOD JOB WITH EVERYTHING. WHAT IS YOUR FIRST STEP OUTSIDE OF THE 27TH? WHAT OTHER GOALS DO YOU HAVE? WHAT OTHER SCHOOLS DO YOU NEED TO REACH? WHAT HELP CAN WE PROVIDE TO YOU?
>> AS OF RIGHT NOW, WE ARE DEFINITELY TRYING TO EXPAND OUR SCOPE OF REACH. EREACHING OUT O ANY AND ALL SCHOOLS. THEY'RE A DIVERSIVE GROUP OF PEOPLE. WE'RE OPEN TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS, HIGH SCHOOL SCHOOL STUDENTS. OF COURSE I HAD MY START IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WITH THE ENVIRONMENT. IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOUNGER STUDENTS AND HELP MENTOR THEM THROUGHOUT THE PROS SEAMARKS AS WELL AS SEEING OLDER STUDENTS BECAUSE IN LPA, WE HAVE A FEW SENIORS, SO THEY'RE OLDER THAN ME. IT'S GREAT TO SEE THEM STILL BE PASSIONATE ABOUT WHAT THEY WANT TO ADVOCATE FOR IN THE ENVIRONMENT, WHICH IS TRULY IMPORTANT. ANY HELP WE WOULD NEED FROM YOU IS ESSENTIALLY SPREADING THE MESSAGE ABOUT NOT ONLY -- EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT A PART OF STUDENTS4H20 BUT SPREADING THE MESSAGE HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO PROTECT OUR ENVIRONMENT AND DOING ANY LITTLE THING WE CAN. WHETHER THAT'S NOT USING A PLASTIC WATER BOTTLE, AND CHANGING TO A REUSABLE ONE. OR USING REUSE ARABLE BAGS WHEN YOU GO TO THE STORE. ANY LITTLE THING YOU CAN DO. EVEN SPREAD THAT MESSAGE TO STUDENTS AND PEERS IN MY SCHOOL. EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT PART OF STUDENTS4H20, DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN'T HAVE AN IMPACT ONE SHAPE OR FORM. YOU CAN DO LITTLE THINGS. AND EVEN TWEAK YOUR DAILY ACTIVITIES MAYBE A LITTLE BIT TO INCORPORATE A FEW ACTIONS THAT ARE MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY. RIGHT NOW, BEYOND THE 27TH, WE'RE WORKING WITH THE KEEP FLORIDA BEAUTIFUL YOUTH COUNCIL. APOLOGIZE. THAT'S A TONGUE-TWISTER SOMETIMES. WE'RE WORKING WITH THEM TO PARTICIPATE IN A TRASH OR TREAT INITIATIVE. THAT INITIATIVE WE HAVE SCHOOL-WIDE AT LINCOLN PARK ACADEMY RIGHT NOW TO ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO RECYCLE THEIR MATERIALS. WE'RE HAVING A SCHOOL-WIDE CONTEST. WE'RE HOPING THAT IT NOT ONLY GENERATES INTEREST NOW BUT DOWN THE LINE STUDENTS ARE MORE RECOGNIZANT OF RECYCLING MORE MATERIALS AND NOT THROWING THINGS IN THE TRASH, RECYCLING THEM AND HOPEFULLY EXPANDING
THAT REACH ONCE MORE. >> TYLER I'M GOING TO ECHO YOUR SENTIMENTS REALLY QUICK. I THOUGHT YOU WERE SPOT ON.
>> MAKE SURE YOU'RE TALKING IN THE MICROPHONE, PLEASE.
>> CAN YOU HEAR ME? >> MAYOR HUDSON: WE CAN HEAR YOU. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THE RECORDING GETS IT.
>> CAN EVERYBODY HEAR ME? >> MAYOR HUDSON: YES.
>> WHAT I WAS SAYING, TYLER, I ECHO YOUR SENTIMENTS. WE WANT ALL SCHOOLS TO BE PART OF OUR MISSION, ESPECIALLY EMULATING THE GLOBAL GOALS, BECAUSE THERE'S A GLOBAL GOAL FOR EVERYONE AS YOU MENTIONED. SOMETHING THAT I WOULD ALSO ADD IS TO SAVE THE DAY FOR WATER FEST. THIS YEAR'S WATER FEST IS MARCH 26, 2022, 10:00 A.M. TO 2:00 P.M. AT STUART MEMORIAL PARK. . WE'RE HAPPEN TO PARTNER WITH STUART ONCE AGAIN TO PLAN AND BE PART OF THEIR WATER CONSERVATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL FESTIVAL. THAT'S SOMETHING I WOULD ADD AS WELL. WE HOPE THAT YOU'LL SAVE THE DATE AND POSSIBLY ATTEND THIS INSPIRING
AND EMPOWERING EVENT. >> MAYOR HUDSON: MARCH 26TH, I HOPE THAT DOESN'T CONFLICT WITH THE GREAT AMERICAN CLEANUP. I THINK IT'S CLOSE IN MARCH. THE ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM
[00:30:01]
COMMISSIONERS? >> MAYOR, IF I COULD, I WOULD SAY THANK YOU AGAIN AND GOOD JOB AND GOOD JOB ON YOUR LEADERSHIP AND EFFORTS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. IT REALLY WILL HAVE AN IMPACT. LIKE I SAID EARLIER, SOME FOLKS MADE AN IMPACT ON MY LIFE FOR SURE YEARS AND YEARS AGO, AND IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE. IT REALLY DOES. SEEING YOUR PICTURES HERE, IT'S AWESOME. I CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU TO BE IN FORT PIERCE MORE AT ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS, VETERAN'S MEMORIAL PARK. THANK YOU FOR ADOPTING THE PARK AND TAKING THAT INITIATIVE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR COMMUNITY. GOOD JOB.
>> MAYOR HUDSON: GOOD JOB. COMMISSIONER.
>> I WANT TO QUICKLY ENCOURAGE THAT YOU CONTINUE ON THAT PATH.
PLEASE KEEP US IN MIND WHEN YOU KICK OFF THELING AT LINCOLN PARK AS FAR AS THE RECYCLING IN THAT AREA. THEN, ALSO YOUR GOALS THERE FOR 2030 TO END HOMELESSNESS AND ADDRESS THAT.
YOU KNOW, I KNOW THE COUNTY AND CITY WERE LOOKING AT THIS TASK FORCE. I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE HEARING FROM YOUNG PEOPLE. THEY MAY HAVE GREAT, CREATIVE IDEAS. I THINK CERTAINLY HOMELESSNESS IMPACTS NOT ONLY OLDER PEOPLE BUT YOUNGER PEOPLE, FAMILIES, SO WE MAY NEED TO HEAR FROM MAYBE SOME OF OUR YOUNGER VOICES AND THINKING HOW WE ADDRESS THIS AND APPROACH IT, SINCE THAT WAS PART
OF THE GOAL AS WELL. >> MAYOR HUDSON: THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YES, WE APPRECIATE VERY MUCH YOU COMING.
YOU HAVE A LOT OF PRESENCE, AND YOU REALLY IMPRESSED US. YOU'VE DONE A LOT WITH THE CITY OF STUART. WE HOPE FORT PIERCE CAN KEEP UP WITH THE CITY OF STUART AND HELPING YOU.
WE HAVE SOME INITIATIVES. OUR KEEP FORT PIERCE BEAUTIFUL. WE HAVE THE BLUE TUBES ALONG THE RIVER FRONT AND THE BEACH. AND THOSE ARE FOR PLASTIC BAGS. WE HOPE PEOPLE USE THOSE PLASTIC BAGS TO PICK UP THE GARBAGE AND PUT IT IN THE GARBAGE. THAT'S NOT REALLY RECYCLING BUT IT'S KEEPING THE BAGS OUT OF THE OCEAN AND OUT OF THE INLET. THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR US HERE AS I KNOW IT IS IN STUART. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR
EFFORTS. >> WELL, THANK YOU. WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND SUPPORT.
>> THANK YOU. >> I THINK WE HAVE ANOTHER
MEMBER OF YOUR TEAM. >> YES, HERE WE HAVE ANNA ROSE, ONE OF OUR MEMBERS FROM THE STUDENTS4H20 CHAPTER. IF YOU WOULD LIKE, ANNA ROSE, YOU CAN SAY A FEW WORDS IN REGARD TO YOUR PASSION ABOUT JOINING STUDENTS4H20.
>> AS TYLER MENTIONED, I AM AN 11TH GRADER AT OUR LINCOLN PARK ACADEMY CHAPTER OF STUDENTS4H20 STARTED BY TYLER AND SYDNEY DANIEL. I FOUND OUT THEIR IMPACT HAS BEEN VERY SIGNIFICANT. THEY'RE SPREADING ENVIRONMENTALISM, ESPECIALLY THEIR EFFORTS TO GET THE STUDENTS TO RECYCLE. AND BE MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS IS VERY SIGNIFICANT, ESPECIALLY HOW THEY'RE ABLE TO REACH AND TALK TO THE STUDENT BODY BY MEANS OF SOCIAL MEDIA AND IN-PERSON. IT'S IMPORTANT FOR OUR YOUNGER GENERATION TO BE ABLE TO BE MORE INVOLVED, AND ESPECIALLY IN OUR CITY OF FORT PIERCE TO INSTILL THAT VERY IMPORTANT SENTIMENT OF BEING ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS BECAUSE IT'S SO IMPORTANT FOR OUR FUTURE. THANK YOU.
>> MAYOR HUDSON: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> THE THREE OF YOU STAND THERE, SO I CAN GET THE SEAL
THERE. I'M TAKING YOUR PICTURE. >> THE FOUR OF YOU.
>> THERE'S FOUR. >> COMMISSIONER: ALL RIGHT. GO AHEAD. I GET ONE. SORRY. GOOD JOB.
>> MAYOR HUDSON: YOU WANT US TO STAND UP? THEY WANT TO GET A
PICTURE HERE? (INAUDIBLE) >> SURE. SURE.
>> YOU ARE IN GOOD HANDS. (LAUGHTER) (SIMULTANEOUS SPEAKING) (LAUGHTER)
>> SLIDE OVER MORE, LADIES. ARE THEY CENTERED?
>> A LITTLE BIT MORE. PERFECT. >> CAN WE HAVE ONE WITHOUT THE
>> GOOD PROUD, MAMA. GOOD FOR YOU.
>> MAYOR HUDSON: GREAT. THANK YOU.
>> KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. >> MADAM MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS, I'LL BE BRIEF. I HOPE YOU ALL WERE AS IMPRESSED WITH THESE YOUNG PROFESSIONALS AS I WAS. WE FOLLOWED EMAIL CHAINS FOR QUITE SOMETIME ABOUT THIS GROUP OF YOUTH THAT WANTED TO ADOPT
[00:35:01]
OUR PARK. WHEN WE MET THEM WE WERE BLOWN AWAY. THESE FUTURE LEADERS HAVE NO IDEA THE IMPACT THEY'RE GETTING READY TO MAKE ON THE WORLD. I WANTED TO GET THEM BEFORE YOU ALL SO YOU HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET THEM AND HOPEFULLY SOME OF YOU CAN GET OUT AND PARTICIPATE IN A CLEANUP OR TWO. AS YOU HEARD THEIR REACH IS FAR BEYOND VETERAN'S MEMORIAL PARK. WE'RE EXCITED TOHAVE -- >> MAYOR HUDSON: KEEP US POSTED ON THE DATE. I WROTE THE DATE DOWN. I WANT TO BE KEPT IN THE LOOP OF THEIR ACTIVITIES. SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S THROUGH YOU
OR THEM. >> ABSOLUTELY. WE'LL MAKE SURE YOU ALL ARE AWARE WHENEVER THEY HAVE SOMETHING GOING ON. AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH. THE PROFESSIONALISM AND PUBLIC
SPEAKING, MY GOODNESS. >> MAYOR HUDSON: YEAH, EXACTLY.

WE CLEANED IT UP. CURRENTLY, THE ZONING IS LIGHT INDUSTRIAL WITH FUTURE LAND USE, WHICH IS ALSO LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. WE WE WILL CHANGING THIS TO HAVE A FUTURE LAND USE AND ZONING WITHIN THE CITY THAT IS COMPATIBLE. THESE ARE THE SAME REGULATIONS THAT WE LOOKED AT WITH THE LAST 27, AND THIS PROJECT ALSO MET ALL OF IT. IT'S CONTIGUOUS AND REASONABLY COMPACT. THE PETITION BEARS SIGNATURES OF ALL OWNERS.

[a. Resolution No. 21-R66 requiring electronic filing of campaign finance reports for all local candidates and political committees utilizing the Supervisor of Elections' electronic filing system.]
BECAUSE I WON'T HAVE A VOICE. >> SO WE HAVE RESOLUTION 21-R 66 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF FORT PIERCE, FLORIDA, IMPLEMENTING PROVISIONS TO FLORIDA STATUTES REQUIRING ELECTRONIC FILING OF CAMPAIGN REPORTS AND LOCAL CANDIDATES, ESTABLISHING A FILING SYSTEM AND REGARDING CERTAIN MATTERS PERTAINING TO THE ELECTRONIC FILING SYSTEM AND PROVIDING FOR
EFFECTIVE DATE. >> MAYOR HUDSON: THIS IS YOURS.
>> THIS MINE. THIS IS A RESOLUTION FORMALIZING THE REQUIREMENT OF ALL CANDIDATES AND COMMITTEES TO USE ELECTRONIC FILING SYSTEM. WE'VE BEEN DOING IT SINCE 2016. BUT IT JUST IS IMPORTANT THAT THERE'S NO QUESTION AS TO WHETHER YOU HAVE TO USE IT OR DON'T HAVE TO USE IT. THIS MAKES IT CLEAR THAT YOU WILL -- ALL CANDIDATES AND COMMITTEES ARE REQUIRED TO USE AN ELECTRONIC FILING SYSTEM, AND THAT SYSTEM IS THAT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS. WHICH WE ARE ALLOWED TO DO UNDER THE FLORIDA STATUTES, AND MANY OTHER COUNTIES DO THE SAME THING.
>> MAYOR HUDSON: ANY QUESTIONS? IF
>> SO I'M CLEAR, BY THEM FILING THROUGH THE LINK ON THE PORTAL,
THAT SUFFICES FOR RECORDS? >> YES, SIR. IT DOESN'T REMOVE MY RESPONSIBILITY AS THE FILING OFFICER. I STILL HAVE TO GO ON THAT WEBSITE WHENEVER THOSE REPORTS ARE DUE. I HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN FILED TIMELY. IF THEY HAVEN'T BEEN FILED TIMELY, I HAVE TO ASSESS THE PENALTIES. IT DOESN'T ABSOLVE ME OF MY RESPONSIBILITIES. IT'S JUST THE TOOL I USED TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS OUT THERE.
>> MAYOR HUDSON: THE TOOL THAT THE CANDIDATES USE.
>> CORRECT. >> MAYOR HUDSON: YEAH.
>> CORRECT. >> MAYOR HUDSON: ALSO.
>> OKAY. GOT IT. >> ONE OTHER QUESTION. JUST CLARIFICATION. MY MEMORY IN GOING THROUGH THIS, DOES THE SUPERVISOR OR DOES YOUR OFFICE PROVIDE NOTIFICATIONS TO THE CANDIDATES? IN DOES THEIR SOFTWARE DO THAT? OR HAVE THEY
CHANGED SOFTWARE OR THE SAME? >> I DON'T HAVE ACCESS. I MEAN, I CAN'T SEE WHAT A CANDIDATE SEES. I SEE BASICALLY
WHAT THE PUBLIC SEES. WILL >> HOW DO YOU GET NOTICE IT WAS
FILED? >> I PHYSICALLY GO IN AND LOOK.
I HAVE TO PHYSICALLY GO IN AND LOOK. I DON'T RELY ON ANY NOTIFICATIONS OR ANYTHING. THAT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY AS THE FILING CLERK. THIS IS JUST THE TOOL. IT'S NO DIFFERENT THAN IF WE HAD PURCHASED THE SOFTWARE. I WOULD STILL HAVE TO GO IN AND LOOK AND MAKE SURE IT WAS FILED TIMELY.
>> OKAY. >> THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR, TIME STAMP WHEN IT WAS FILED?
>> CORRECT. WHEN IT'S ONLINE, YOU HAVE UNTIL MIDNIGHT TO FILE.
>> AND EVERYBODY WAITS UNTIL MIDNIGHT AND ONE MINUTE AFTER AND IT'S LATE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
>> MAYOR HUDSON: NOT IF YOU HAVE A GOOD TREASURER.

MOTION? >> MADAM MAYOR, I MOVE FOR A

[15. COMMENTS FROM THE CITY MANAGER]
THE PUBLIC HEARING. WE'LL MOVE ON.[01:15:01]
>> COMMENDS FROM THE CITY MANAGER.
>> MADAM MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COMMISSION, WE HAD A SUCCESSFUL WEEK LAST WEEK. WE HAD A NEW DEVELOPER MOVE INTO OUR COMMUNITY. COMMISSIONER CURTIS JOHNSON AND I WERE IN AATTENDANCE FOR BLUE COUNTY. THEY ATTRACTED A RESIDENTIAL MULTI-FAMILY AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT TO COME INTO FORT PIERCE. THAT IS NESTELED BETWEEN WALMART AND SABLE CHASE.
IT'S 164 UNITS. I BELIEVE THEY WANT TO DO MORE IN FORT PIERCE, WHICH IS ENCOURAGING. WE NEED AS MUCH DECENT HOUSING STOCK AS WE CAN GET FOR OUR WORK FORCE. IN ADDITION, ON SATURDAY, MAYOR, YOU JOINED MYSELF AND COMMISSIONER JOHNSON, AND WE WERE HANDING OUT 500 TURKEYS. I GOT COMMISSIONER JOHNSON TO DO SOME WORK. YEAH, I GAVE HIM -- HE ONLY HANDED ABOUT TWO OR THREE OUT. STILL HE WAS THERE. (LAUGHTER)
>> A LITTLE SUPPORT. >> MAYOR HUDSON: DID HE DO HEAVY
LIFTING? >> HE DOESN'T LIKE THAT KIND OF STUFF. (LAUGHTER)
>> BUT IT WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL. VERY WELL DONE. AND IT WAS QUICKLY COMPLETED. SO WE HAD A LOT OF POSITIVE COMMENTS, A LOT OF SMILING FACES. IT WAS A SUCCESSFUL DAY.
THEN, I WANT TO UPDATE YOU. THIS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18TH, WE'RE HAVING A JOINT MEETING WITH ST. LUCIE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS IN HAD THEIR CHAMBER. THE AGENDA, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S COMPLETED YET. I KNOW ALL OF THE ITEMS AND BACKUP DOCUMENTATION HAS BEEN PROVIDED. IT WILL PROBABLY BE PUBLISHED
TOMORROW. >> TOMORROW. YEAH, I'M WAITING
TO MAKE SURE I HAVE EVERYTHING. >> MAYOR HUDSON: DO THEY PUBLISH
IT? >> I THINK WE'RE BOTH GOING TO
PUBLISH. >> MAYOR HUDSON: AS SOON AS YOU GET NOTICE, YOU'LL PUBLISH FOR US?
>> I THINK THERE'S ONE THING I'M WAITING FOR. I'LL PUBLISH
IT ON OUR SITE. >> MAYOR HUDSON: 9:00, RIGHT?
>> YES, MA'AM. >> 9:00 TO 11:00. RESTRICTED TIME FRAME, TWO HOURS. IN THOSE TWO HOURS, WE'RE GOING DISCUSS FOUR TOPICS, THE PORT OF FORT PIERCE ZONING AND FUTURE LAND USE, ANNEXATION THAT WE SEE WE OBVIOUSLY NEED A CHANGE. ALSO, OUR IMPACT FEE AND MOBILITY PLAN UPDATE AND TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS. SO WITHIN THOSE TWO HOURS, I BELIEVE THAT WE CAN SUCCESSFULLY TALK ABOUT THOSE FOUR ISSUES. AND THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF BACKUP DOCUMENTATION FROM BOTH SIDES THAT ARE GOING TO BE AVAILABLE FOR YOU TOMORROW.
>> WILL THAT BE TELEVISED? I KNOW LAST TIME WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT BEING TELEVISED, SO THE PUBLIC CAN WITNESS AND BE
PART OF IT. >> TRUTHFULLY, I DON'T KNOW.
>> CAN YOU CHECK? >> PART OF THE PROBLEM IS THAT BECAUSE IT'S NOT LOCATED FROM THE DAIS, YOU'LL BE SITTING DOWN
HERE. >> MAYOR HUDSON: IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE. THERE'S NOT ENOUGH ROOM.
>> IT MAKES TELEVISING IT A CHALLENGE.
>> I DON'T KNOW. >> WE'RE NOT SITTING WHERE WE
SAT LAST TIME? >> WERE YOU UP THERE LAST TIME?
>> WE WERE ALL UP THERE. >> WE WERE ALL UP THERE.
>> WE WERE ALL UP THERE. >> CAN YOU CHECK ON THAT?
>> I WILL. I'LL GET AN UPDATE. >> I THINK IT WILL BE FOR THE
PUBLIC. >> MAYOR HUDSON: IT'S NOT TELEVISED BUT AUDIO PERHAPS. SOME OF OURS WE DO AUDIO, RIGHT?
>> YES. I BELIEVE THE COUNTY IS KEEPING THE MINUTES AS THEY
>> MAYOR HUDSON: OKAY. >> I WILL CHECK ON THAT.
>> MAYOR HUDSON: ANYTHING ELSE? >> NO, MA'AM, THAT'S IT.
>> MAYOR HUDSON: ALL RIGHTY. >> NO, THANK YOU.
>> MAYOR HUDSON: YOU GET TO DO THIS, READ THIS AGAIN NEXT TIME,
RIGHT? >> EVERY YEAR I SAY I'M GOING RECORD MYSELF. MAYBE BOBBY IS LISTENING AND WILL COME UP WITH
A MAGIC SOLUTION NEXT TIME. >> MAYOR HUDSON: MAYBE YOUR
DEPUTY CLERK MIGHT RELIEVE YOU. >> THERE YOU GO.
>> IT'S SO NEW. >> MAYOR HUDSON: ANYWAY...
>> I THOUGHT ABOUT THAT. IF I HAD-- I'D ASK FOR HELP.
[16. COMMENTS FROM THE COMMISSION]
>> MAYOR HUDSON: YOU COULD. >> COMMENTS FROM THE
COMMISSION? >> MAYOR HUDSON: ANYBODY LIKE TO
GO FIRST? COMMISSIONER PERONA? >> BRIEFLY, FIRST OF ALL, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THE CLERK DID AN EXCELLENT JOB. I KEPT THINKING DESPITE THE DISCLAIMERS ON THE TWO GOOD TO BE PRODUCTS, YOU BLEW THROUGH THEM. I UNDERSTAND EVERY WORD... ALMOST.
BUT GOOD JOB WITH THAT. (CHUCKLING)
>> THANK YOU. >> I SPENT THE WEEKEND IN ST.
PETERSBURG. WE WENT TO PARKS AND DOWNTOWN AND ENJOYED A LOT OF WHAT IS GOING ON. I TOOK PICTURES OF A LOT OF THINGS THAT THEY'RE DOING OVER THERE. I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, THEY'RE NOT THAT MUCH AHEAD OF WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT HERE. VERY PROUD OF WHERE WE'RE AT. IT'S A VERY ACTIVE COMMUNITY OVER THERE.
[01:20:06]
YOU THINK REAL ESTATE PRICES ARE HIGH IN FORT PIERCE RIGHT NOW, YOU NEED TO GO THERE. THERE'S EIGHT DIGITS IN MOST OF THE WATER FRONT PROPERTY. IT'S RIDICULOUS.>> MAYOR HUDSON: WERE YOU LOOKING FOR A HOUSE?
>> I WAS NOT. I WAS AT A PARK WATCHING A HOUSE BEING BUILT NEXT TO THE PARK AND GOT ON THE WEBSITE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT WAS. THEY WANTED $11 MILLION FOR THAT.
>> WOW. >> ANYWAY. BUT IT'S INTERESTING TO GET OUT OF OUR FISH BOWL ONCE IN AWHILE TO LOOK AND SEE WHAT'S GOING ON. ACTUALLY, I TOOK A PICTURE OF A WATER FOUNTAIN THAT I LIKED THAT LOOKS LIKE IT COULD STAND THE TEST OF TIME AND ABUSE. THINGS LIKE THAT WERE A LOT OF FUN TO DO. HAPPY WITH THE THINGS ARE ROLLING IN HAD FORT PIERCE RIGHT NOW. AND LOOK FORWARD TO THAT MEETING WITH THE COUNTY. I WOULD JUST SAY IF THE MAYOR, PLEASE TRY TO KEEP -- MAKE SURE THEY STAY ON POINT, IF YOU CAN.
>> MAYOR HUDSON: I WILL. THANK YOU FOR --
>> WE WEREN'T PREPARED FOR IT THE LAST TIME. IT WENT DOWN A
COMPLETE DIFFERENT AVENUE. >> MAYOR HUDSON: YEP.
>> AFTER WE HIT THE AGENDA, GOING THROUGH IT, IF ANY OF US HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL, LET'S WORK WITH STAFF BEFORE WE GET IN THERE TO SEE IF WE CAN MAKE SURE WE ARE ON POINT. TWO HOURS IS NOT ENOUGH TIME TO GET DONE WHAT WE GOT TO BE DONE. IF WE'RE PREPARED AND GET IN, WE CAN GET IT DONE.
>> MAYOR HUDSON: WE WANT IT TO BE AN EFFICIENT MEETING.
>> I DO. >> MAYOR HUDSON: OKAY. WE NEED
TO READ OUR BACKUP. >> RIGHT. READ OUR BACKUP AND
BE PREPARED FOR ANYTHING. >> MAYOR HUDSON: BE PREPARED.
>> MAYOR HUDSON: YOU'RE WELCOME. >> COMMISSIONER C JOHNSON.
>> I WANT TO ECHO SENTIMENTS OF OUR CITY MANAGER. THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING COULDN'T BE MORE TIMELY TO SEE THE PRICE POINTS THEY'RE BRINGING IN IS $400 TO $900 ADDRESSES THE GAP AND CONCERN IN OUR COMMUNITY NOW. I'M EXCITED FOR THAT AND EXCITED FOR THE DEVELOPER AS HE CONTINUES TO LOOK FOR THESE TYPES OF PROJECTS IN OUR AREA, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE HAPPY, OF COURSE TO HAVE MINIMUM WAGE GO UP TO WHERE IT'S GOING TO GO TO AT $15 AN HOUR, IT NEEDS TO BE MORE. BUT IN MY OPINION, STILL PRESENTS A CHALLENGE FOR THOSE LIVING WORKING WAGE PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY. I'M SENSITIVE TO THAT. IT WAS GREAT TO GO AND SEE AND BE PART OF THAT. ALSO, MAYOR, IT'S GREAT BEING A PART OF THE TEAM SATURDAY. I WANT TO COMMEND YOU AND STAFF, IT WAS AN EFFICIENT OPERATION. AS ALWAYS, IT'S AMAZING TO ME WE GET THAT MANY CALLS ON SERVICE AND DIDN'T HAVE INCIDENTS OR ACCIDENTS.
PEOPLE WERE COOPERATIVE. THE EXPRESSIONS OF JOY NEVER LEAVE YOU WHEN YOU SEE THAT AND PEOPLE FROM ALL OUT THERE.
THEY WERE GREATLY APPRECIATIVE. THERE WERE PEOPLE THAT EXPRESSED THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO. THE PRICE OF TURKEY HAS GONE UP REAL HIGH. IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THAT FORT PIERCE AND THIS COMMUNITY STEPPED UP TO DO THAT AND WISH PEOPLE A GREAT THANKSGIVING AS WE EMBARK UPON HOLIDAYS. THE OTHER RITUAL IS THE CLASSIC BETWEEN FLORIDA -- YOU PRAY FOR OUR CITY COMMISSIONER HE HAS A GREAT OUTCOME. WE WANT TO WISH THE RATTLERS AND WILD CATS A SAFE TRAVEL TO AND FROM ORLANDO.
ENJOY THE GAME. WE'LL SEE WHO WINS THE GREAT BATTLE THIS
>> WE'RE GOING TO NEED LUCK. >> MAYOR HUDSON: IS THERE A
THAT'S THE FAVORITE. >> EVERY YEAR.
>> THEY BEAT US NINE YEARS IN A ROW. WE GOT TO GET A GET-BACK
THIS YEAR. >> MAYOR HUDSON: MR. J. JOHNSON.
>> THANK YOU, MA'AM. HE WAS EXCITED TO SEE THE BLUE SKY COMMUNITY ALSO. IT'S FUNNY TO WATCH THE PUBLIC. THERE'S MIXED EMOTION ABOUT THE PROCESS AND HOW IT'S MOVING FORWARD. THAT'S OKAY. IT'S JUST PEOPLE'S PERCEPTION AND THEIR TAKE ON THE INFORMATION THAT'S OUT THERE. IBLE AUTO IT'S A VERY POSITIVE EXPERIENCE, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO WHAT THEY BRING TO THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE. THE OTHER ITEM I WANTED TO START THINKING ABOUT BECAUSE IT'S THE HOLIDAY SEASON, I WAS THINKING ABOUT OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT NOT TOO LONG AGO. I WAS THINKING ABOUT CALLS FOR SERVICE. WE HAD A REPORT FOR CALLS FOR SERVICE.
AND SO, NICK, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A WAY TO DIAL IN. I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT IT A LITTLE BIT. I'M NOT SURE I GOT ALL THE NUMBERS ON THE CALLS FOR SERVICE AT OUR LARGE RETAILERS AND HOW THAT IMPACTS OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT, WHETHER IT'S, YOU
[01:25:05]
KNOW, FOR SHOPLIFTING-TYPE THINGS. YOU SEE WHERE I'M GOING WITH THAT? WITH THE ELEMENTS AND WHAT THE CHIEF IS DOING, WHAT OUR PROGRAM IS TO HELP REDUCE SOME OF THOSE, THE OFFICERS' RESPONSE, HOURS SPENT OR TIME. I JUST THINK THAT'S AN ELEMENT OF THAT DATA THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT WE SHOULD HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON IF WE COULD. JUST SOMETHING THAT CAME TO MIND AS WE ENTER THE HOLIDAYS. BECAUSE UNFORTUNATELY, BAD THINGS START TO RISE DURING THE HOLIDAY TIME.>> MAYOR HUDSON: THAT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO KNOW IF IT'S
DIFFERENT AT HOLIDAY TIME. >> YEAH, THAT'S ANOTHER DATA
ELEMENT. >> MAYOR HUDSON: YEAH. IF IT
INCREASED OR WHATEVER. >> RIGHT. SO IF WE CAN JUST GET SOMETHING TOGETHER ON THAT. AND THEN -- YES.
>> I WAS WONDERING WHAT TYPE OF PRODUCT, DELIVERABLE THAT YOU MAY EXPECT? ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A REPORT?
>> WHAT DOES THE CHIEF HAVE IN STORE? WHAT HAS SHE IMPLEMENTED? AND WHAT IS THE PROGRAM SHE HAS IN PLACE. MAYBE SOMETHING YOU CAN SHARE WITH THE COMMISSION. SHE SHARED SOME INFORMATION WITH ME. I DIDN'T KNOW IF THERE WAS ANOTHER STRATEGY WITH YOUR OFFICE AND THE CHIEF OR NOT. THANK YOU.
THE OTHER ELEMENT WAS FOLKS AND STUDENTS FOR H 20, VERY UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY WITHOUT A DOUBT. I'M GLAD TO HEAR IT. I WAS LOOKING THROUGH THE CALENDAR. NOT TOO LONG AGO, THE SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT, COMMISSIONER HUTCHINSON WAS AT THE DISTRIT MEETING. WAS ONE OF YOU THERE? I WASN'T. I READ ABOUT IT. IN THE PROGRAMS GOING FOR WATER QUALITY WITHIN THE COMMUNITY, WITHIN THE TREASURE COAST, C-44 RESERVOIR, LOOKS LIKE THERE'S AN EVENT COMING UP. I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY SOME OF THE CONSTRUCTION AND MAYBE THE RIBBON CUTTING, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN OF THE C-44. THOSE ARE ELEMENTS OF IMPACT FOR US IN THE TREASURY COAST AND CITY OF FORT PIERCE. I WAS ENCOURAGED TO HEAR HTHOSE ELOQUENT SPEAKERS TONIGHT. IT WAS EXCITING. I THINK JACK WAS EVEN SMILING.
IT'S GOOD. THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU.
>> MAYOR HUDSON: ALL RIGHT. >> MAYOR HUDSON? EXCUSE ME.
>> MAYOR HUDSON: YES. >> WE GOT WORD THE JOINT MEETING IS GOING TO BE TELEVISED.
>> MAYOR HUDSON: OKAY. THANK YOU.
>> I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW. AND THE PUBLIC KNOWS.
>> MAYOR HUDSON: SOMEBODY MUST HAVE BEEN WATCHING OUR MEETING.
>> MAYOR HUDSON: YEAH, SO WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SAY IS OUR NEXT MEETING IS DECEMBER 6TH, IS THAT RIGHT?
>> MAYOR HUDSON: WE'VE GOT THANKSGIVING IN THERE. SO I WANT TO WISH EVERYBODY A HAPPY THANKSGIVING AND SAFE THANKSGIVING. AND TRY TO GET THE BEST TURKEY YOU CAN FOR THE BEST PRICE. THEN, ALSO, WE'RE GOING HAVE SIGHTS AND SOUNDS, RIGHT? BEFORE THE NEXT MEETING. SO THAT'S DOWNTOWN FORT PIERCE SUNDAY. THERE'S OTHER THINGS DECEMBER 4TH DOWNTOWN THAT WE'RE NOT SPONSORING BUT DIFFERENT GROUPS ARE SPONSORING, TOY
GIVEAWAYS ET CETERA. >> I THINK ALMOST EVERY
WEEKEND, DECEMBER 4TH, 11TH. >> MAYOR HUDSON: EXACTLY.
EXACTLY. SO WITH THAT, THAT'S ALL I HAVE. SO I THINK WE'LL ADJOURN IF EVERYBODY WOULD LEAVE THE CHAMBER. WE'RE GOING TO BE
