          [00:06:49]
          >> SOMEBODY WHO HAVE DOES ASK FR PEOPLE LIKE EVERYTHING LIKE 
          [00:06:53]
SOCIAL SECURITY. ANY NUMBER OF THINGS THAT I DONT HAVE TIME TO TELL YOU ABOUT RIGHT NOW. 
          FOOD STAMPS AN THE HOLE GIG. ANYBODY CAN COME IN HERE IS FROM THE CITY AND CAN GET HELP. WE HAVE SNAP APPLICATIONS BUT TE BEST PART THAT WE TOOK PEOPE OFF OF THIS STREET BECAUSE PEOPLE HAD ISSUES WITH OUR HOMELESS. 
          SINGLE UNACCOMPANIED PROFESSIONL EVALUATION AND REFERRAL IS PROVIDED RIGHT ON THE SITE. HERE WE GO TO COURT DIVERSION. 
          ON THE SITE OF THE HOUSING HUB E HAVE HAD SIGNIFICANT SUCCES. 
          WE'VE MOVED ON TO THAT. WE HAVE FOR ST. LUCIE COUNTY. 
          AS YOU CAN SEE SO FAR HE SENT US 434 CASES. 
          THAT IS SUCCESSFUL. THAT'S THE BEST WE CAN DO. 
          IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT ONE. IT STARTED IN FEBRUARY. 
          WE HAVE DONE 239 PEOPLE. RENTAL ASSISTANCE, DOCUMENTATION OF SERVICES, APPLICATIONS FR MEDICAL SERVICES REFERRALS. 
          THIS IS SINCE FEBRUARY. THIS IS FOR THE LOCAL POPULATIO. 
          WE DID ASK FOR PEOPLE WHO WALK N AND WE ALSO DO THIS FOR PEOE IN THE PROGRAM. WE ARE ACTUALLY IN THE TRANSITIONAL PROGRAM. YOU SEE WHAT'S ON THE NEXT SLID, 
          PLEASE. >> THE HUB HOUSING PROGRAM IS 
          RESIDENTIAL AS WELL. >> THIS IS BASICALLY ALONG TERM OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE SOMEBODY OUT OF THE WOODS AND PUT THM PLACE AND STRAIGHTEN THEM OT AND HOPEFULLY MOVE THEM ON O THEY GO IN TO HOUSING AS WELL. 
          THEY DON'T JUST GET DUMPED SOMEWHERE. 
          SO BASICALLY WHOD THAT NON-APPRE FOR EMERGENCY HOUSING VOUCHS FROM THE FORT PIERCE HOUSIN. IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE MUCH. 
          YOU TRY IT. IT'S VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE. 
          WE HAVE VOUCHERS WHICH MEANS THT THEY HAVE WILL HAVE THEIR STUFF PAID FOR. SO THEY CAME LITERALLY OUT OF TE WOODS. WE WENT AND TOOK PICTURS OF EVERYBODY. GET CAMERAS WHAT YOU WILL NEED D WHAT IT WILL TAKE. AND NINE OF THEM SO FAR BECAME ACTUALLY GOT MOVED BECAUSE S RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL O THE STREET. HE'S JUST AN EXAMPLE. 
          PEOPLE GET RELEASED FROM HOSPITS DIRECTLY TO THE STREET IN TS COUNTY. AND WE PICKED THEM UP AND DRAGGD THEM IN THERE. SO AS YOU CAN SEE 49 MINUTES WEE SERVED AND 28 WAS SUCCESSFU. USUALLY THE SUCCESS RATE IS 10%. 
          [00:10:04]
WE ARE PROUD OF THAT. IT'S A LOT OF WORK REQUIRED TO KEEP PEOPLE. THEY ARE THREE 3-6 MONTHS SOMETIMES LONGER. THERE'S PRESCREENING. 
          CAN YOU SEE WHAT'S NEXT? >> THIS PROJECT INCLUDES EVERYBY THAT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DG IN WITH CONTRIBUTIONS AS YOU CAN SEE. THERE'S FROM SALVATION ARMY AND THIS IS THE NURSES. THEY BRING FOOD, THEY DO SCREENINGS EVERY DAY. THEY HAVE TO GET IN AN OFFICE. 
          ST. LUCIE PROVIDED $250,000 SO R AS THE TREASURE COAST. 
          KEY FACTOR IS THAT THE SUCCESS T THIS -- IT'S NOT A SHELTER. 
          IT'S CALLED ADAM'S PLAY AND IT'A RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM. 
          EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE GUYS N THE STREET GET OPPORTUNITY. 
          GET PSYCHIATRIC EVALUATION, DRUG SCREENING ET CETERA AND AT SOME POINT THEY GET IN AND E HAVE DONE FAIRLY WELL CONSIDERING THAT THE 28 OR 0 OF THEM HAD ACTUALLY EXITED AND FOUND HOUSING AND JOBS. SO I THINK SINCE I ONLY HAVE ONE MINUTE -- THE NEXT SLIDE. THERE YOU GO. THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS APPROVED $110,000 TO CONTINUE THE PROJECT WHICH WAS REALLY COOL. 
          FROM MAY THROUGH SEPTEMBER. THAT'S ACTUALLY BEEN IDENTIFIED AND PROVED AND OUR ANNUAL BUDGET REQUEST WILL BE $250,000 TO ST. LUCIE COUNTY AND MUNICIPALITIES INVOLVED. 
          THERE'S A LOT THAT GOES INTO KEEPING PEOPLE THAT ARE MENTALLY ILL THAT ARE IN THE WOODS AND HAVE BEEN IN THE WOODS FOR TEN YEARS DRAGGING THEM OFF SO THEY DON'T WALKN YOUR STREETS. NOT EASY. 
          HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THE MERCHANTS HAPPY AND THE POLE DEPARTMENT HAPPY SO THAT'S WHAT WE DID. 
          >> WE HAVE MORE IN THE PRESENTATION. 
          YOU WANT TO WAIT? YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION? 
          ES. >> I HAVE QUITE A FEW BUT DO I 
          HAVE MORE TO PRESENT. >> CAN I GET YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD. I THINK YOU SAID LUIS -- LOUISE 
          HUBBARD. >> BRUCE KATIE IS A SPECIAL PROJECTS COORDINATOR FOR THE HOMELESS SERVICES COUNCIL AD HE'S SPECIFICALLY HAS BEEN MANAGING MOST OF THE ASPECTS OF THE PILOT PROGRAM. SO, MOST OF THE WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE IN FORT PIERCE HAVE BEN NEXT TO HAZEL'S PLACE NEXT 
          DOOR. >> THE HOUSING AUTHORITY HAS THE OLD HOSPITAL AND THEN HAZELS IN ANOTHER BUILDING AS WELLS THIS -- IS THIS THE ONE THAT USED TO BE RESTORATION HOUS? 
          YES IT DID. >> I WILL SPEND FEW BUCKS TO PUT IT BACK TOGETHER. WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK AND IT LOS NICE. THE HOUSING HUB TURNED OUT TO BE THE COMMUNITY'S PIECE SO YOU HAVE A SHELTER PIECE AND A COMMUNITY PIECE. BACK IN THE DAY PEOPLE WILL DROP PEOPLE OFF. IT'S BEEN BEAUTIFUL. 
          BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED. BRUCE HAS BEEN THERE HALF THIS LIFE. BUT TO DATE WE WANT TO BE SURE THAT YOU HAVE NO PROBLEMS AD TO DATE YOU HAVE THEM. 
          IT'S NOT LIKE NOISE WHICH IS REALLY IMPORTANT. 
          IT'S LIKE A THREE OR SIX MONTH LENGTH OF STAY THERE. 
          WE DO SPEND OUR OWN MONEY. NOT THE BUDGET HERE. 
          DRUG SCREENING OF COURSE. THEN WE BRING IN PEOPLE WHO ARE APPROPRIATE TO THIS POPULATION. 
          WE'VE GOTTEN JOBS FOR PEOPLE NAP WHOLE THING REALLY WORKED WELL. SOMETIMES IT KEEPS PEOPLE -- THE PEOPLE CAN GET A JOB. WE ARE TRYING TO A NEW WAY DO TS 
          WITHOUT THE OLD SHELTER. >> YOU HAVE MORE? 
          >> IS THIS IT? >> YES. 
          [00:15:07]
          >> BUILDING ON WHAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT. 
          WHAT WE'RE DOING IS A VETERAN'S COMMUNITY VILLAGE. 
          THIS ALL STARTED WHEN OUR COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR TASKED US TO START OUR HOMELESS PROJECT FROM THE POINT IN TIME. 
          SH VETERAN'S VILLAGE WILL HOUSE VETERANS. 
          THEY WILL BE THERE FOR A 12-24 MONTH PERIOD. 
          WE WILL DO MORE JOB TRAINING AND THOSE KINDS OF THICK TO HOPEFULLY MOVE THEM. SO THE SITE THAT IT'S PART OF TE OLD COMPOUND AND IF COUNTY COMPOUND AND IT'S BEEN ON TE AVENUE.  THE FIRST SECTION S THE TOP WHERE THE SIX UNITS ARE. THEY ARE GOING TO BE TINY HOMES BUT GOING TO BE APPROVED FOR THE VOUCHER PROGRAM. 
          IT WILL BE THE CENTER FOR MORE CASE MANAGEMENT FOR VETERANS OR WILL ALSO BE A PICK UP FR VETERANS THERE.  THEN THE OTHER SECTIONS BELOW ARE GOG TO MOVE WHEN WE GET THE 6 DONE. THE OTHER SECTIONS WILL HOUSE FEMALE AND VETERANS ALSO. . SO THESE ARE THE TYPES OF HOMES THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT. THIS IS OUR BUDGET FOR THE THREE PHASES.  NO ONE EVER HAS ENOUGH MONEY. 
          WEAR ALSO LOOKING TO FIGURE OUTA WAY TO FUND THIS. 
          WE FEEL LIKE ONCE WE GET UP AND RUNNING WE WILL SEE A LOT OF INPUT. DONATIONS FROM THE THE COMMUNIT. 
          WE ALREADY HAD PRIVATE DONATIONS BUT DON'T HAVE PLACE TO LOOK TO SEE. BUT I'M CONFIDENT THAT ONCE WE O HAVE THAT WE CAN MAYBE DO CAMPAIGN OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. WE HAVE TO TAKE BABY STEPS HERE AND TAKE THIS PART. THAT IS THE VETERAN'S VILLAGE. 
          ALSO DIGSLY AT THE SAME LOCATION FOR THE VETERAN'S VILLAGE WE ARE GOING TO DO SPEAKING IN MILITARY PERMS A GENERAL POPULATION AREA WITH MORE TY TYPE HOMES FOR OTHER HOMELES OR OTHER PEOPLE AND SHE CANT FIND A PLACE SO WE'RE TRYING TO WORK TOGETHER SO WE HAVE OTHER HOUSING THAT'S SET UP. 
          THIS IS LOOKING AT A 12-24 MONTH PERIOD. 
          TO TRY TO GET HOUSING THE VOUCHS AND ALL THOSE THICK INS 
          PLACE. >> SO THE NEXT THAT WE ARE LOOKG AT WOULD BE AND NICK WAS AT THE GROUND BREAKING FOR BLUE SKY. WE'RE DOING 176 ROUND UNITS THERE. THAT WAS A PIECE OF PROPERTY THT WAS TO THE COUNTY AND WE PUT AN RFP OUT AND HAD DEVELOPER AT BLUE SKY COMMUNITIES CAME IN. 
          THEY RECEIVED FINANCING THROUGH HOUSING FINANCE CORP RIGHTS AND SOME DISASTER RECOVERY MONEY. 
          THEY ARE FULLY FUNDED AND WE ARE STARTING THE 176 UNITS. 
          SO, AGAIN THIS IS AOPLT ANOTHR TIER. 
          THE LAST TIER IS TO PURCHASE A HOUSE OR THE TO BE A HOMEOW. 
          WE JUST PURCHASED 2.2 ACRES AND WILL BE DOING OUR TEN HOMES. 
          IT'S KIND OF LIKE WE ARE LOOKING AT A HABITAT MODEL FOR THIS LOCATION. AND THAT AGAIN WOULD BE LIKE THE FINAL TIER WHICH WOULD BE HOMEOWNERSHIP. 
          THAT'S PRETTY LEGIT I WENT FAST. THE LAST THING IS WE NEED TO DOA HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT. WE ARE TALKING TO FORT ST. LUCIE 
          [00:20:05]
AND FORT PIERCE STAFF. NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND WE ARE SEARCHING FOR THE MONEY TO T THAT DONE. 
          BUT I THINK IT'S PRETTY CRITICA. WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT WE'RE DEALG WITH AND HOW TO AND WHERE TO GO. 
          WE NEED SOME ROAD MAP AND WE NED ALL THE CITIES THE INCLUDEDO WE'RE NOT JUST PIECEMEALING. I THINK THAT'S IT. 
          >> QUICK QUESTION. CAN GRANT FUNDING BE USED FOR TT 
          ASSESSMENT? >>> IF YOU HAD A GRANT SPECIFICO DO THIS. WE WERE UNSUCCESSFUL LAST TIME. 
          WE WILL TRY TO GET IN THE HOUSING -- 
          >> HOW ABOUT THERE THE VILLAGE ITSELF. 
          I KNOW THERE WAS A SHORT FALL THERE, TOO. 
          >> OH, YES. THERE'S VERY MUCH A SHORT FALL.. 
          THE UNITS APPROXIMATELY 968 IS R BUDGET FOR 6: -- 605 RIGHT . 
          THAT'S THAT'S FOR THE ENTIRE PROPERTY THAT YOU SEE RIGHT THERE. YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBERS ITSELF. 
          THE COUNTY HAS ALLOCATED $500,00 FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT. 
          IT'S THE REST FOR DONATIONS AND CONTRIBUTIONS TO GET THE 
          PROJECT GOING. >> THIS IS IN THE COUNTY BUT THERE'S ONE PARCEL I THINK S IN THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE. 
          THESE FOLKS WOULD NEED PE PEDESTRIAN ACTIVITY. 
          >> THE TRANSIT STANDPOINT FOR AL BUSES. 
          THE SIDEWALKS. THERE'S NO SIDEWALK INS THAT SECTION. AS WE PRESENTED THIS TO THE BOAD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. NEED TO COME BACK AND HAVE A CONVERSATION ON SINCE THAT PROPERTY IS WITHIN THE CITY. 
          THAT'S THE SMALL SQUARE ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER THAT'S IN E CITY. SO THE COUNTY MAY WANT TO DO THE ANNEX THING. YOU WANT THE COUNTY STAFF TO DO SOME REVIEW AND MAYBE SOME COUNTY STAFF AND PROVIDE SOE INPUT. I JUST BROUGHT THIS UP A COUPLE MEETINGS AGO. IF IT'S IN THE CITY THERE'S NO SURCHARGE IN THE UTILITY MONTHLY BILL BECAUSE YOU WOD BE WITHIN THE THINK IS LIMIS OF FORT PIERCE. 
          THERE'S SOME PARAMETERS IN. >> WE DEFINITELY HAVE A LOT MORE 
          WORK TO DO. >> OH, YEAH. 
          >>> THIS IS JUST GETTING US GOING. 
          >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK TT YOU'VE DONE. SOME IS NOT SOMETHING THAT'S JUT HAPPENED AND WILL NOT GO AWAY. 
          IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S -- WE HAVE SO MANY INITIATIVES OUT THEE THAT ARE TRYING TO DEAL WITH THE THE HOMELESS. 
          EVERYBODY IS NOT JUST DOING THER OWN THING. 
          YOU HAVE SOMEBODY CLOTHING FOLK. SOMEONE FIGURING OUT HOW TO HOUE THEM HERE. A BIG COMPONENT IS TO IDENTIFY D 
          [00:25:01]
ORGANIZE ALL OUR EFFORTS SO WE'RE NOT JUST WASTING EFFOS AND MONEY AND EVERYTHING ELE LIKE THAT TOO. 
          THE CITY OF FORT PIECE PIERCE WE TACKLE IT ON OUR OWN. 
          WE HAVE YOU FOLKS COMING IN HERE WITH A WELL THOUGHT OUT INITIATIVE THAT APPROACHES T DIFFERENTLY THAN EVERYBODY ELSE. I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS FROM A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DIMENSN BUT I THINK THERE NEEDS TO E EFFORTS TO ORGANIZE THE CHURCHES, THE ASSOCIATIONS, ALL THE DO GOODERS. 
          ALL THE PEOPLE OF FORT PIERCE AD ST. LUCIE COUNTY HAVE COME TOGETHER WE HAVE ADOPTED THS WAY OF APPROACHING THE HOMELESS ASPECT OF IT. RATHER THAN US DO OUR OWN THINGE WILL HELP CONTRIBUTE TO THI. YOU ARE LOOKING FOR MONEY. 
          YOU ARE LOOKING FOR ALL THESE THINGS. 
          I THINK THEY ARE ALL THERE. WE JUST HAVE TO GET THEM 
          TOGETHER. >> I BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL SEE SOME OF THOSE EFFORTS TO OCR TO TRY TO BRING EVERYBODY TOGETHER. WE KNOW THAT LOUISE IS OUR PRIMARY. WE NEED TAKE INTORY ON WHAT'S OT THERE. INVENTORY ON WHAT'S OUT THERE. 
          I KNOW THERE'S PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT KNOW WHERE THOSE GAPS ARE. WE WANT TO BRING THOSE PEOPLE IN SO WE BETTER UNDERSTAND WHEE THOSE GAPS ARE AND HOW WE BRING EVERYBODY TOGETHER SO WE'RE ALL WORKING ON THE SAE AGENDA. WE HAVE A LARGE GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO DO A LOT OF VOLUNTEER WK ON THAT DAY AND ARE OUT IN E WOODS AT 4:00 A.M. IN TERMS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE BEING DOING ALL THOSE THINGS WILLE GOING TO ALL OF THOSE SITESO WE CAN INTERVIEW FACE-TO-FA. IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU KNEW PT OF THAT HAVE IS STEP ONE IS REVISING AND CONTINUING TO REVISE THIS PLAN. WHEN YOU'RE ON THE TASK FORCE AD I HOPE YOU ARE YOU CAN SAY LIKE WHAT WE DID. 
          WE PICK THE STREET PEOPLE THAT U WERE TALKING ABOUT OR ARE 
          CONCERNED ABOUT. >> WE DON'T HAVE A MILLION DOLLS SO WE HAVE A PLAN. THIS IS A LONG TERM PROCESS THAT IF YOU PARTICIPATE YOU USUAY DO. 
          FORT PIERCE IS GOOD WHEN IT COMS TO THEM. 
          WE HAVE A LOT OF COOPERATION. PEOPLE GO TO THE STREETS AND ASK PEOPLE WHERE DID YOU SLEEP LAST NIGHT? WHY ARE YOU HOMELESS? WHAT IS YOUR ADDRESS? TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE TALKING FORT PIERCE AND NOT TALKING KENTUCKY SHOWED UP HERE YESTERDAY. 
          SO WE ARE ALL HAPPY TO HAVE YOU PARTICIPATE LIKE YOU ALWAYS. 
          WE DON'T RUN FOOD BANK. THIS IS A PLANNING ORGANIZATION WHICH PROVIDES PREVENTION AD REHOUSING. 
          NONE OF THOSE OTHER THINGS ARE OURS. 
          JUST SO YOU KNOW. WE DON'T DO THAT AND NEVER HAVEN 19 YEARS. THOSE DO HAPPEN. 
          SOME OF THE HOMELESS CAMS THAT HAVE BEEN TAKEN DOWN AND CLEARED OUT WERE UNOPENED BOXES OF CLOTHING AND FOOD. 
          ALL THESE RESPONSES ARE GOING. WE ARE DOING WHAT WE THINK IS RIGHT. IT ISN'T REALLY THE CURE. 
          AND SOMETIMES THESE TYPES END UP CREATING A DIFFERENT TASK TO THE APPROACH OF THE PROBLEM. YOU ARE PREACHING TO THE CHOIR. 
          WE HAVE NO JURISDICTION AUTHORIY TO DO THOSE THINGS THAT I'D LOVE TO DO.  YOU SHOULD BE N THE TASK FORCE.  THERE IS NO 
          [00:30:02]
REAL ANSWER THAT ANY OF US HAVE COME UP WITH SO FAR. 
          THE THINGS THAT WORK IN ADAM'S PLACE. 
          THAT'S PRIVATE MONEY. BECAUSE WE SAID WE WILL NOT MAKA SHELTER. WE NEED TO KNOW. 
          WE HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING AND WE CAN'T CONTROL PEOPLE WHO DO WHAT THEY DO. WERE NOT IN CHARGE OF THAT.  NO 
          DOUBT. >> THANK YOU MADAME MAYOR. 
          >> SO, I JUST WANT TO GET A COUE THINGS STRAIGHT FOR MYSELF HERE MAKE SURE I'M UNDERSTANDING THE WHOLE PLAN HERE. SITE THAT WEAR LOOK AT NOW IS LOOKING AT VETERANS AND APPROACHING THATTISH OF HOMELESSNESS THAT WILL BE PEOPLE WHO ARE VETERANS AND WOULD QUALIFY FOR SERVICES IS. 
          THAT FAIR? >> THAT IS THE INITIAL. 
          SO WE DIDN'T REALLY HAVE A PICTURE. 
          SO THE FIRST PHASE SO THERE'S THREE PHASES AND IN THE FIRT PHASE THERE'S -- THERE'S THE SECTIONS IN THE FIRST PHASE. 
          THE FIRST ARE THE SIX UNITS AND OUR PRIORITY I WILL SAY IT THAT WAY ARE MALE TESTIMONY VETERANS. 
          SO IT WILL BE SET UP IN A WAY TT WE CAN ACQUIRE VOUCHER FOR THEM AND WE WILL HAVE A STEY INCOME STREAMING AND IT WILL BE SUSTAINABLE. THE SECOND SECTION IS 8 MORE UNITS. WE DO WANT TO INCLUDE FAMILIES. 
          WE KNOW WE NEED TO DO THAT. WERE TAKING THESE BABY STEPS AND WE HAVE A LITTLE OF A GAP IN THE FUNDING. 
          THAT'S THE ULTIMATE GOAL. >> FROM THERE WE CAN MOVE ON TO 
          THE HOUSING PROJECTS. >> THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO SUSTAIN AND LIVE THERE IN THAT COMMUNITY. 
          >> GOT IT. >>> SO WHERE I THOUGHT I UNDERSTOOD TO BE. THAT THAT IS PERFECTLY FINE. 
          >> SOME WOULD BE PERMANENT RESIDENCY AT THIS COMPOUND S WELL AS TEMPORARY TRANSITIOL TO A PERMANENT TYPE HOUSING. 
          >> CORRECT. >> THIS IS A 12-24 MONTH AND THN THAT 12-24* MONTHS WE WILL E LOOKING AT SOME PERMANENT HOUSING. WE WILL BE LOOKING AT THE MORE ACCLIMATED AND MORE SUSTAINABLE TO MOVE ON. 
          >> >> WE WELCOME THAT AND HAVE SOME PROJECTS AND WE WOULD LOVE O FILL UP WITH HOUSES THAT PEOPLE ONCE THEY HVE THE CAPACITY TO MAINTAIN HOUSES AND THAT TYPE OF DISCIPLINE THAT'S REQUIRED FOR THAT. 
          >> PART OF MY CONCERN WOULD BE E NUMBERS. 
          I'M GLAD TO SEE THE TWO ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE WORKG UP. I CAME ON LAST YEAR WHERE THE COUNT WAS BEING CONDUCTED. I WOULD BE INTERESTED TO SEE WHE WE ARE OVER THE PAST COUPLE YEARS. 
          ARE THEY GOING UP OR DOWN? IS IT MORE IN CERTAIN POPULATIOS TO GET AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT OUR CURRENT STRATEGIES ARE. WILL THEY MEET AND KEEP. 
          WILL THEY ADDRESS WHAT'S OUT THERE? WHAT'S GO E AND ARE WE ON THE RIGHT PATHWAY TO ADDRESS THT BASED ON WHAT I'M SEEING. WE ARE HENFUL. 
          WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE HOUSING HUB. 
          WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THIS PERMANT HOUSING. 
          THAT'S THE MOD THAT WE'RE TRYING TO HAY PROEFP. 
          HOPEFULLY WHAT THIS IS TASKS WE HAVE SOME CONCRETE 
          [00:35:01]
RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ARE PUT IN PLACE IN ORDER TO MOVE THESE ITEMS FORWARD. IT DOES TAKE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. IT DOES TAKE FUNDING. 
          WE ALL RECOGNIZE THAT. I TRULY BELIEVE THE MOMENTUM IS HERE. YOU SEE SOME GREAT PROJECTS THAT HAVE COME OUT AND SOME GREAT THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN HAPPENING HERE. EVEN DURING THIS TIME YOU SAW A LOT STEP UP IN REGARD TO ANALYZE ACY STANCE -P. 
          >> ALONG WITH THAT. I HOPE THAT WE WILL ALSO INCLUDE IN OUR STATE DELEGATION TEA. I HAD A CONVERSATION THE NIGHT ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AND WHT IS NOT ON THIS RADAR IS THANASIS ANTETOKOUNMPO IS CONFUSING TO ME AND VERY CONCERNING IS WHILE THIS IS LOOKING AT VETERANS AND TRANSITIONING WE HAVE MORE F AN IMMEDIATE SITUATION NOW WITH PEOPLE THAT ARE ON THE STREETS AND WE'RE COMING TO THE COLDEST PART OF OUR YEA. THAT THAT IS MY -P CONCERN. 
          AN IMMEDIATE CONCERN WITHIN THE NEXT 90-120 DAYS AND HOW WIL WE ADDRESS THAT. SO WE DON'T HAVE THE MOST VULNERABLE LIVING IN WOODS. LIVING ON THE STREETS NOT SUFFERING FROM THAT WHICH CAUSES COMPLICATIONS TO OUR 
          HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. >> LET ME START OFF BY SAYING WN YOU LOOK AT A DRAFT HOME TOGETHER PLAN WHICH WE HAVET REALLY LAID OUT ALL THE DETL INS THAT PLAN BECAUSE WE STL NEED COMMUNITY FEEDBACK. IT IS ABOUT COLLABORATION ADDRESSING THOSE ISSUES. WE ALL RECOGNIZE IN THIS PARTICULAR COMMUNITY HOW THE COLD WEATHER SHELTER CAME ABOUT. I AM NOT SAYING THAT IT'S RIGHTR WRONG. WE ARE TO SIT DOWN AND FIGURE OT HOW WE ADDRESS THAT FAMILIAR SITUATION. 
          THAT MEETING WILL BE HAPPENING. LOOK AT THESE RESPONSIBILITIES O TRY TO FIGURE OUT THIS PARTICULAR SOLUTION. 
          WE WILL SEE WHAT OUR NEXT STEPS ARE MOVING FORWARD. 
          >> I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THAT THE COLD WEATHER SHELTER AND IT COSTS MONEY TO RUN A SHELTER. 
          AND THE HUD DOES NOT RECOGNIZE Y TRANSITIONAL SHELTER. 
          DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY FUNDING. SO EVERYTHING YOU SEE HERE IS CENTERED AROUND WHERE OUR FUNDING COMES FROM. 
          SO UNFORTUNATELY WE DON'T HAVE Y GRANTS OR WHATEVER THAT WE N APPLY FOR A SHELTER FOR COLD WEATHER SHELTER. 
          NORMALLY WE IN THE PAST RELIED N IMANALYZE OF CHRIST AND ALSO DID PARTNERSHIP WITH RED CROSS. 
          THAT'S PROBLEMATIC FOR OUR DOES NOT ADDRESS IT. 
          SO THEY IN LINE SOME ISSUES. WE HAVE A WEALTH OF IDEAS AND UD TO BE AT THE TABLE. THEY HAD THE HISTORY. 
          AS WELL AS THE SHELTERING. I STRESS SOMETIMES I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO UNDERSTD WHAT THE SOLUTION SHOULD BE AND THEN WE COME TOGETHER AD TALK ABOUT -- I WANT TO FOCS ON THE SOLUTION COMPONENT MEANT OF IT AND COME BACK AD SAY OKAY THIS IS WHAT WE BELIEVE THAT WE CAN DO AS FR AS THE COLD WEATHER SHELTER. . 
          HERE'S WHAT IT'S GOING TO COST R IT TO HAPPEN. . 
          THAT SHOULDN'T COST US. >> I THINK THOSE ORGANIZATION CS 
          [00:40:05]
          BRING RESOURCES. >> THERE COULD BE ASETTLES. 
          THAT COULD BE USED IN TRANSITION ING FROM THE IMMEDIATE SITUATION.  I HAD A HUGE LEARNING CURVE. 
          WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THISS A CITY FAR WHILE. 
          THIS A NATIONAL PROBLEM AS WELLS A STATE. 
          I ALWAYS HEARD THAT THE AGENCY S IN INDIAN RIVER COUNTY. 
          >> I'M JUST SAYING YOU'RE LOCATED. 
          >> WE ARE NOT LOCATED. WE HAVE PEOPLE LOCATED IN EACH COUNTY. THAT'S WHAT I'M TELLING YOU IS Y LEARNING CURVE. I'M TRYING TO LEARN. 
          I'M TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT. I THINK WE WILL ALL BE DISCUSSIG THAT LATER AND WE WILL BE AN THOUSANDS TO BE PART OF THI. 
          WE ARE ALL FACED WITH THIS HEREN THE CITY. 
          WE KNOW WE HAVE THE TWO DIFFERET KINDS. 
          >> WE ALSO KNOW THAT THERE'S DEGREES OF HOMELESSNESS. 
          THERE'S FAMILIES. THERE'S INDIVIDUAL MEN AND INDIVIDUAL WOMAN AND THERE E A LOT OF DIFFERENT REASONS R IT. I READ A LOT OF THEM. 
          DO I NEED TO LEARN A LOT ABOUT WHAT WE'RE THINKING ABOUT. 
          I WAS CONFUSED BETWEEN THE HOUSG HUB. 
          WHERE IS THAT PHYSICALLY? IS THAT ADAM'S PLACE OR IS THAT 
          SOMEPLACE ELSE? >> THAT'S THE HOUSING HUB. 
          >> THAT'S IN THE SAME PLACE. >> THAT IS NOT MEANT TO BE PERMANENT BUT TRANSITIONAL. HAVE I GOT THAT RIGHT? 
          >> THAT IS THE POINT ITSELF.  HD WILL NOT GIVE US ANY MONEY R 
          THIS. >> THAT THEY WILL FOR THE VOUCHERS. WERE BUILDING THE PLAN AROUND TT CRITERIA SO WE CAN HAVE AN INCOME STREAM AND BE 
          SUSTAINABLE. >> RIGHT. 
          I GOT THAT NOW. >> NOT PERMANENT HOUSING. 
          >> SO, YOU WENT OVER QUICKLY SOMETHING ABOUT THE FORT PIERCE HOUSING AUTHORITY. I THOUGHT YOU SAID IT WAS KIND F IMPOSSIBLE TO GET IN THE FOT PIERCE HOUSING OR VERY DIFFICULT. DID YOU SAY THAT OR NOT? THERE A'S WHY I'M SAYING MY LEARNING CURVE IS VERY STEE. 
          INDIAN FOR RIVER COUNTY HAS 30. IT IS CALLED EMERGENCY HOUSING VOUCHER FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE AT OR BELOW 50% OF THE 
          [00:45:01]
AREA AND INCOME WHO ARE AT R HOMELESS ORTHOS WHO ARE AT RISK. THEY HAVE TO BE APPROVED BY THE HOUSING AUTHORITY. WE MAKE THE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ALL THREE COUNTIES WHEN PEOE CALL US. 
          WE THINK YOU SHOULD GIVE THIS PERSON A VOUCHER BECAUSE THY MAKE $700 A MONTH. THEY ARE 60 OR 70 YEARS OLD. 
          >> WHO DETERMINES THE NUMBERS OF EHB. 
          EMERGENCY HOUSING VOUCHER? >> THE FED. 
          BASED ON -- >> YOU KNOW --FY KNEW THE ANSWER TO THAT. OKAY. 
          >> SOME MYSTERY TO YOU, TOO.  IS BAD AND GOOD BECAUSE IT'S A KEY CRITICAL VARIABLE. IS THAT GOOD OR BAD? WE GET HURT. WE ALL DO IN THIS AREA. 
          >> OKAY. WHAT IS HAPPEN -PING IN LEON AVENUE? 
          >> THAT IS 2.2 ACRES AND IT WAS PREVIOUSLY ALREADY AND THERS 10 LOTS AVAILABLE FOR SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. 
          SO WE PUT THE RFP OUT DEDEMAND STAR. 
          WE ARE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO CE IN AND DEVELOPER OR LIKE A HABITAT TYPE MODEL. AND THEY ARE GOING TO BUILD HOUSING AND THERE'S GOING TO BE CERTAIN INCOME CRITERIA THAT HAVE TO BE AVAILABLE FR PEOPLE TO PURCHASE HOMES. 
          WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IS THE MODEL IS THEY PROVIDE THE MORTGAGE MONEY AT 0% AND HABITAT DOES THOSE. 
          >> WE ARE HOPING EVERYBODY CAN N A HOME. 
          SOMETIMES IT'S BETTER TO RENT. THAT IS ONE COMPONENT. 
          AS YOU STAY MODEL IS BECOMING SUITABLE FOR SOME PEOPLE. 
          P-FP I READ A LOT ABOUT THE TINY HOUSES. 
          I THINK IT'S A VERY AMBITIOUS PLAN. 
          I'M GLAD YOU CAME TO US AND PRESENTED IT. 
          YOU WILL NEED EVERYBODY'S HELP. IT'S VERY AMBITIOUS. 
          I HOPE WE ARE NOT REINVENTING TE WHEEL. 
          WE ARE TAKING FROM OTHER PLACES WHERE THEY EVE HAD SUCCESSE. 
          WE CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO BE A MECCA FOR HOMELESS PEOPLE. 
          THAT IS WHAT IS CRITICIZED IN SE OTHER AREAS. 
          IT'S BEEN WHAT'S BEEN ALLOWED TO HAPPEN. 
          FLORIDA IS THE SUNSHINE STATE. THERE WERE PEOPLE WHO DO COME DN FOR THE SEASON WHO ARE HOMELESS. 
          THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT PEOPE FOR BEING HOMELESS. 
          IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO O AND I'M WILLING TO LEARN A T

          [b.  Chamber of Commerce Development Review Task Force Recommendations]
          >> THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA S THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TASK 
          VIEW. >> NOT MUCH OF A LEAD IN. 
          WE HAVE OUR LOCAL SHRERTY IS GOG TO GIVE US AN UPDATE UPDATEN 
          [00:50:03]
THE ST. LUCIE COUNTY DEVELOPMENT REVIEW TASK FORE AND TALK ABOUT HOW WE CAN POSSIBLYSTREAM LINE OUR DEVELOPMENT PROCESSES AND WK WITH OUR PRIVATE DEVELOPERS. 
          >> WELCOME. >> THANK YOU MADAME MAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS. THANK YOU FOR INVITING ME TO BE PART OF THIS. I'M FROM THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE REPRESENTING THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW TASK FORCE TODAY. 
          THE JUST AS A QUICK REAR FROM HB IS A GROUP OF STAKEHOLDERS HERE IN ST. LUCIE COUNTY THT INCLUDES THE BUILDERS ASSOCIATION, THE EDC, REALTOR'S ASSOCIATION AND TN SOME SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTSN THE REGULATORY PROCESS. 
          WE ARE CHARGED OR HAVE SELF CHARGED OURSELVES WITH GOING AROUND TO EACH JURISDICTION AND THE ENTIRE COUNTY ALL THREE JURISDICTIONS AND WORKING WITH THE JURISDICTIS TO STREAM LINE REGULATORY PROCESSES FOR BUSINESS. 
          I WANT TO STRESS THAT WE WORK WH THE JURISDICTIONS. 
          THIS IS REALLY FOR BOTH PARTS TE APPLICANT AND THE REGULAR REGULATORY AGENT TO USE THIS TASK FORCE TO REALLY EXAMINE THE BEST PRACTICE INS TERMSF GETTING BUSINESSES UP AND RUNNING AND EXPANDING AND BUILDING ALL THAT KIND OF 
          GREAT STUFF. >> WE BROUGHT BACK. 
          IN 2018 IT WAS REPORT PRESENTEDO THIS COMMISSION. 
          IN WHICH WHICH WE MADE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE REGULATORY PROCESS.  I'M HEE TODAY ALONE BEFORE WE BROUGT MANY PEOPLE BUT THAT SHOULDE EXHIBIT A IN WHY THESE CHANS NEED TO BE MADE. I APOLOGIZE BUT I'LL DO MY BESTO EXPLAIN THIS AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. 
          ORIGINALLY IN 2018 WE ASKED THE COMMISSION TO MAKE A POLICY CHANGE IN WHICH THERE WOULDE A $50,000 SQUARE FOOT THRESHOLD FOR STAFF REVIEW. WHEN WE SAY THAT IT MEANS WE ARE TAKING OUT A COUPLE STEPS IN THE PROCESS THAT WILL GET A PROJECT UP AND RUNNING MUCH SOONER.  THE CITY OF FORT LY -P HAS ANNOUNCED A $10,000 STPAF REVIEW PROCESS. 
          WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE CITY BE IN LINE WITH THE OTHER CITY HERE IN OUR COUNTY AND ADOPA 10,000 SQUARE FOOT STAFF REVIEW PROCESS. THERE'S LESS OVER SIGHT. 
          I DON'T FEEL LIKE THAT'S TRUE IN ANYWAY. 
          EACH PROJECT HAS TO MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA. 
          IF THEY DO NOT THEY CANNOT GO FORWARD. 
          THE STAFF IS HIRED TO EXAMINE THESE CRITERIA AND MAKE SURE THAT EACH PROJECT MEETS THA. IN MANY CASES THE COMMISSION OR THE EXTRA STEPS GOING THROUH PLANNING AND ZONING AND STAF AND THEN THE COMMISSION AND THEN BACK THIS IS REALLY JUT RUBBER STAMPING SOME THINGS THAT CANNOT BE DENIED BASEDN THE FACT THAT THEY MEET THER CRITERIA. 
          WE MOVED THIS APPLICATIONS ALON. WE GOT A LOT OF SMALLER PROJECT. 
          >> THESE ARE CONSIDERED VERY SML PROJECTS THAT WILL FILL SOME EMPTY BASE AROUND TOWN AND SOME OF THE PROJECTS ARE VEY COMMUNITY ORIENTED BUT BECAE OF THE BOOM THAT WE'RE EXPERIENCED RIGHT NOW AND BECAUSE OF THE STAFFING SHORTAGES THAT EVERYBODY IS EXPERIENCING RIGHT NOW. 
          A SMALL PROJECT LIKE THIS COULD TAKE UP TO A YEAR IF IT IS ASSEMBLY SPACE WHICH IS GOIG TO BE CONSIDERED A CONDITION USE. FOR INSTANCE WE HAD A REALTOR BRING FORTH THE PROJECT FOR SOME TRAINING FOR SOME MEDIL TRAINING AND UNFORTUNATELY THAT CANDIDATE THAT APPLICAT 
          [00:55:01]
MOVED ON BECAUSE IT WAS GOIG TO TAKE UP TO A YEAR TO GET THAT SPACE APPROVED FOR THE USE OF TRAINING. 
          THAT'S WHY THE ORIGINAL REPORT. IT WILL BE ASKING FOR THE LIGHTS REALLY ARE THE 3,000 ASSEMBY SPACE SQUARE FOOTAGE AND THE 10,000 SQUARE FOOT THRESHOLD FOR STAFF APPROVAL WHICH COD SAVE MONTHS ON ANY PROJECT. THERE'S A COUPLE OTHER THINGS ON THIS REPORT THEY WON'T PULL OUT. 
          THE REPORT WAS ORIGINALLY SEVERL PAGES BUT WE'VE MADE SUCH GREAT STRIDES THAT THE MAJORITY OF ITEMS THAT WE ORIGINALLY BROUGHT FORWARD N 2018 HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED AND RESOLVED AND WE ARE VERY HAY ABOUT THAT. 
          THIS IS NOW DOWN A ONE PAGER WHH IS IN ANY JURISDICTION GREAT 
          NEWS. >> ALL RIGHT. 
          YOU READY FOR QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION? 
          >> SO YOU HAVE WORKED WITH OUR STAFF FOR THE 10,000 AND THE 
          3,000 SQUARE FEET? >> IS. 
          >> TYPICALLY WE WOULDN'T BRING FORTH ANY POLICY CHANGES UNLESS WE HAVE STAFF BACKIN. THAT'S HOW THE TASK FORCE WORKS. 
          I ACTUALLY SPOKEN TO EVERY SINGE ONE OF YOUR DEPARTMENT HEADS TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE AMABLE TO EVERYTHING IN THIS REPOR. 
          >> ALL RIGHT. >>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR 
          DISCUSSION? >> P-RP JUST TALK ABOUT THIS 3,0 UP FRONT. IN THE CONDITION USE ARE THERE Y OTHER JURISDICTIONS THAT YOU WORK WITH THAT THEY PARTIAL OUT SOME CONNAL USE APPLICATION. 
          TRYING TO THINK BACK. WHEN IS THE LAST TIME WE HAD A ARCADE FOR INSTANCE. DOES ANY JURISDICTION PARTIAL THOSE OUT? THE CONDITIONAL USE PROJECTS WOD BE FURTHER ALONG IN THE CURRENT PROCESS. 
          THIS SPACE NO LONGER BE A CONDITION USE. 
          PERHAPS JEN MIGHT WANT TO COME P IN YOUR AREA. 
          I AM NOT PRIVY TO YOUR SPECIFIC CONDITIONAL USES OFF THE TOP 
          OF MY HEAD. >> YOU WOULD PARTIAL OUT WHAT WOULD BE QUALIFIED FOR STAFF APPROVAL. 
          >> MY POINT IS THAT TYPICALLY THERE'S CERTAIN APPLICATIONS THAT COME FORWARD WITH PUBLC SCRUTINY. 
          THE PUBLIC HANS A CHANCE TO TALK TO THEIR ELECTED WOD BODY AD VOICE THEIR OPINION EVERY DAY. 
          THEY CAN BUT TALK SPECIFICALLY. IT' BAN FEW MONTHS. 
          WITH REGARD TO ANY CHANGES. WE WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS OF CHANGING OUR CODE TO ALLOW TO NOT HAVE GO THROUGH THE PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS. 
          BUT WITH ANY PROJECT STAFF SCRUTINIZES IT LEVELLY. 
          OUR PREAND CONSISTS OF THE SAME REVIEW AGENCIES AS OUR TRC. 
          TO ALLOW REVIEW AGENCIES SO NOW THEY HAVE THREE WEEKS TO REVIEW THESE ITEMS SO WE CAN PROVIDE WRITTEN COMMENTS WHH WE DID NOT DO IN THE PAST. THEN WHEN IT GOES TO THE TR. 
          SO THE PUBLIC DOES HAVE OPPORTUNITIES AND MANY PEOPE HAVE LOGGED IN TO IT AND THY DO GET REGULAR NOTICES WHEN TRC TIMES COME UP IF THEY HE ANY COMMENTS OR ANYTHING THY CAN REACH OUT TO US. IT WOULD NOT GO THROUGH THE PUBC HEARING. IT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT IS APPROVED ONCE PLANNING DEPARTMENT RECEIVES ALL THE PLANNING AND APPROVALS FROM THE REVIEW AGENCIES WE DO A FORMAL APPROVAL OF A SITE PLAN. 
          WE WOULD TREAT THIS LIKE A MINOR AMENDMENT. 
          >> I AGREE WITH THE RECOMMENDAT. I AM THINKING OF THE HURDLES WHE THE PUBLIC WANTS TO HAVE AN INPUT. 
          [01:00:04]
FOLKS WANT TO COME TALK TO US ABOUT IT DURING THE PROCESSF 
          THE APPROVAL. >> MADAME MAYOR I'M NOT SURE IF YOU A COMMISSION THAT WOULD WANT TO HAVE HEARD. 
          I THINK THEY HAVE THE ABOUT TO K FOR IT TO BE HEARD. 
          IN FIND A PROJECT COMING FORWAR. YOU CAN PULL THAT OUT AND WOULD 
          LIKE TO SEE THAT. >> WE DON'T HAVE A PROCESS IN PLACE FOR THE 3,000 SQUARE FEET AND UNDER FOR CONDITION USES FOR ASSEMBLY. THAT COULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE DRAFT AS PART OF THAT LANGUAGE. 
          A MINOR AMENDMENTS TO OUR SITE PLANS ARE REALLY THE ONLY THING THAT WE HAVE. WE HAVE BEEN IN THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE. EVERY PROJECT GOES FLEW YOU ALL FOR REVIEW.  THERE ARE MANY THAT APLOW THE PLANNING BOAD TO APPROVE FINAL APPROVAL ON SITE PLANS IF THEY ARE PERMITTED. WE DON'T HAVE THAT. 
          THEN IT IS APPROVED BY STAFF. OTHER THAN THAT YA'LL RECEIVE EVERYTHING. THAT THE S THROUGH OUR MINOR AMENDMENT. WE CAN EASILY SAY IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THE COMMISSIN WANTS TO PULL IT AND HAVE IT REVIEWED BY THIS BODY WE COD PUT THAT IN A LANGUAGE. 
          WE ARE NOT THE SAME FORT PIERCEE WERE 20 YEARS AGO. RIGHT NOI KNOW THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF CONFIDENCE IN OUR PLANNING DEPARTMENT. THERE IS A CERTAIN DEMAND. 
          >> THERE MAY BE A TIME WHEN YOU BEST USE OF OUR RESOURCE.  T SHOULD BE 6-9 MONTHS WHERE U AND BY THE TIME IT GETS TO US. I WILL SPEAK TO THE COMMISSION. 
          WE WILL SAY THIS IS A NO BRAINE, WHY NOT? 
          >> . SO THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE ITEMS WHERE WE NEED TO GO AHEAD AND STRM LINE. 
          WE NEED TO GET THIS. WE ARE USIG OUR DEPARTMENT'S FOR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE MEANT FOR. THE BIGGER ITEMS. THE THINGS THAT REQUIRE A WHOLE LOT OF COMPLEX LOOK. 
          OH MY GOD. WE DIDN'T THINK WE HAD THAT ONE PASSED ON THESE OTHER ISSUE. TO ADD TO THAT. 
          IT LOOKS LIKE THIS COMMISSION IS GOING TO BE CHARGED GOING FORWARD OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS IS PROBABLY LOOKING AA LOT OF THESE ISSUES THAT WEE SET IN STONE MANY YEARS AGO 
          THAT AREN'T WORKING TOGETHE. >> I GUESS I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE STAFF. IS THAT PART OF THAT ASK TOO 
          HERE? >>> 
          >> YOU KNOW IT'S ALL ONE ASK BUT YOU CAN PICK OUT WHATEVER IT IS YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE WIT. THAT'S THE ONE I WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT WILL WEIGH IN FOR ME AND YOUR COMMENTS ON THAT OE 
          AND YOUR THOUGHTS. >> STAFF IS VERY COMFORTABLE WIH THAT RIGHT NOW. IT DOES REQUIRE A CHANGE TO THE 
          [01:05:07]
ZONING. IT WOULD REQUIRE A REVIEW. 
          ASIDE FROM THAT WE HAVE BEEN REVIEWING THIS AND IT'S NEXT TO A PROJECT. STAFF CAN EASILY DO THAT. 
          ARE WE CAPABLE? I KNOW WE APPROVE PROVED SOME SYSTEMS. WILL WE BE ABLE TO MEET THAT HURDLE AS WELL? EVERYTHING IS ONLINE NOW. 
          WE ARE CAPABLE TO DO THAT THROUH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT. 
          ALSO BEING BUSINESS FRIENDLY AND TRYING TO GET THINGS TO GO QUICKLY THROUGH THE PROCESS THAT KHOPLS TO US. 
          CAN YOU DEFINE THAT FOR ME? WHAT IS ASSEMBLY SPACE? THERE WAS AN COMMERCIAL ESTABLISHMENT. 
          THERE'S PLACES THAT COULD BE RENTED OUT. 
          IT'S THE CONDITION USE PROCESS. THIS WAS ONE OF THE APPLICATIONS THAT THEY HAD TO COME BACK O THE CITY FOR BECAUSE LIT TAE SO LONG TO GO SOMEWHERE ELS. I HEARD THIS SEVERAL TIMES. 
          >> I HEARD THAT STORY, TOO. THAT IS WHAT I WAS TRYING TO PUT 
          THAT TOGETHER. >> EDUCATIONAL PROCESSES, MEETIG ROOMS, THESE TYPES OF THING. I. 
          >> WOULD CHURCH BEES IN THAT TO? >> IT'S THINGS THAT ARE NON- 
          RESIDENTIAL. >> MANY OF THOSE CAN BE COMPATIE WITH A RESIDENTIAL USE. IT COULD BE ADJACENT SO IT OR NEIGHBORHOOD SURVEYING TYPEF USES. 
          >> SO IN A WAY WHAT YOU'RE ASKIG US TO DO IS COME MORE IN LIE WITH THE URBAN FORT PIERCE THAT IS NOW HAPPENING NOW TO US AS OPPOSED TO 100 YEAR AS AGO WHEN WE WERE A LITTLE DIFFERENT. WE HAD A DIFFERENT FEEL AND A DIFFERENT SMALL TOWN. AND IN IT. 
          DOES IN GET RUN BY THE PLANNING BOARD? IF IT'S JUST REVIEW BY STAFF IT WILL RUN TO THE PLANNING BOD AND THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT WITH THE INPUT. 
          >> MADAME MAYOR. YOU COULD WRITE YOUR POLICY WHIH WE SAW IN ANOTHER LOCAL JURISDICTION THAT CERTAIN ITEMS WENT TO THE PLANNING. CERTAIN WENT TO THE COMMISSION DIDN'T HAVE TO GO TO BOTH.% YOU MAKE THIS PROCESS ANYTHING THAT YOU THINK FITS YOUR NEEDS. 
          >> WHAT I MEANT HAVE YOU GOTTEN THEIR INPUT ON THIS POSITIO? 
          >>> WE HAVE NOT. >>> OKAY. 
          >> WE WILL THOUGH. WE WILL MAKE CHANGES AND 
          AMENDMENTS TO OUR PROCESS. >> RIGHT. 
          >> LIT GO TO THEM FIRST. >> YES. 
          GOT IT. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT. 
          THERE'S SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES FR THE PUBLIC TO HAVE INPUT. 
          SOMETIMES THEY DON'T PAY ATTENTN UNLESS IT'S BEFORE THE COMMISSION. THEY HAD OPPORTUNITIES ALL ALONG BUT HAVEN'T TAKEN ADVANTAGEF IT. 
          WE HAVE DISKUGSZED THIS WITH THE PLANNING BOARD. 
          THE REASON WHY WE WERE STICKING WITH HOW WE HAVE IT IN OUR 
          [01:10:03]
CODE. IT'S AN ADVISORY BOARD IN NATUR. 
          >> THAT WOULD BE FOR IN TO ELIMINATE THEM FROM THE PROCESS. WE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT THEY UNDERSTAND WHY AND THE EARLIER OPPORTUNITIES TO HAVE THE ABOUT TO WEIGH IN O THE PROCESS. 
          I SEE THEM TRYING TO DO SOMETHING. 
          MAYBE TWO OR THREE YEARS AGO. I REMEMBER WHEN FOLKS STARTED COMING TO ME MORE. WE USED TO GET NOTICE WHEN PLANNING BOARD GOT IT. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE MY COMES AND COME TO THE COMMISSION AND MAKE MORE COMMENTS. 
          >> YOU ELIMINATE THE FIRST STEPN PUT TOUT SIGN. 
          NOW I CAN COME WHEN IT'S CITY COMMISSION TIME AND THE PLANNING BOARD ALREADY APPROVED IT. YEARS AGO I GOT THE NOTICES AND COMPLAINTS D E-MAILS. STREAM LINING THE SYSTEM IS THE SAME CONVERSATION WE ARE HAVING NOW. WE ARE TRYING TO MAKE IT BETTER OFF FOR IN THE CITY AND THE USER AND I DON'T KNOW. 
          [01:15:29]
          >>> SPECIFICS IF IT INCLUDE AS DRIVE THROUGH. 
          IT DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR THIS. THERE ARE SOME WAYS. 
          >> THERE ARE SOME OPTIONS. YOU CAN STREAM LINE THE PROJECTS THAT MAKE SENSE AND LIST ON THE THE 10,000 PEOPLE WHO DO NOT WANT A CHICK FILET AT TE SAME TIME. 
          >> I CAUTION YOU. THERE HAS TO BE A REASON FOR YOU TO SAY NO. YOU ARE BRINGING FORTH THIS ISSE AND THERE HAS TO BE SOME REL REASON YOU DENY THIS PROJEC. 
          BY LAW YOU HAVE TO APPROVE IT IF IT MEETS ALL THE CRITERIA TT 
          IS SET FORTH. >> YOU ARE JUST LISTENING TO PEOPLE VOICE THEIR OPINION WITH NO VIABLE OPTION TO HEP 
          THEM. >> PEOPLE THE NOT UNDERSTAND THAT. THAT SOUNDS EASY FOR YOU TO SAY AND WE SAY THIS IS STAFF APPROVES IT, THEY GO WHAT? 
          >> THEY SAY YOU ARE NOT LISTENIG TO US. 
          HOW DARE YOU SAY I AM NOT COMPETENT. 
          MAYBE THIS IS SOMETHING SINCE IT SAYS THIS IS A CONFERENCE AGENDA AND WORKS BEST FOR OR CITY. 
          ALLOWING THEM TO SCRUTINIZE REVW AND APPROVE THAT PROJECT SO THE ADVERTISING WOULD BE POSTING NOT JUST FOR CONDITIONAL USES AND WE POSS THE PROPERTY. 
          IT STREAMS IT LINE IT THAT THERE WAS COMPROMISE AND A LOT OF 
          CITIES DO DO THAT. >> INTERESTING. 
          >>> PER PERPLEXING TO ME. >>> ALLOW THAT TO BE THE FINAL . 
          USES THAT REQUIRE APPROVAL BY BOARD. 
          THEY ARE THE FINAL SAY ON THAT APPROVAL. 
          >> THERE'S NO REASON TO TURN IT DOWN. 
          >> THAT'S THE POINT YOU'RE MAKING. 
          >> JUST THIS YEAR IN THE CITY IN FORT ST. LUCIE WE DID PUT TT POLICY INTO PLAY. SOME PROJECTS STOPPED AT THE PLANNING AND BOARD PLANNING ZONING BOARD AND SOME PROJES WILL INITIATE AT THE COMMISSION AND VICE VERSA. 
          >> I HAVEN'T HEARD TOO MANY COMPLAINTS. 
          >> I GUESS WHAT WAS PERPLEXED IN MY MIND NOW WAS THE DENY ABILITY OF ANYTHING. IF IT IS ZONE APPROPRIATE THEY HAVE THE APPROVAL. IT'S GETTING THEM TO TRY TO DENY STUFF. WE STRUGGLE WITH SUB STAN ARABLE EVENED ALL THE TIME AS WE HE GONE THROUGH. 
          I WOULDN'T PUT THAT ON ANY BOARD TO BE ABLE DO THAT. 
          THERE'S A LOT OF HISTORY IN OUR COMMUNITY WHERE THAT PLANNIG BOARD HAS BEEN POLITICAL IN SOME OF THEIR DECISION-MAKIS AND WE DON'T WANT TO RETURNO THAT. 
          >> IF I MAY. IN OUR CODE FOR SITE PLANS WE REQUIRE DEVELOPMENT AND DESN REVIEW. 
          THERE ARE SPECIFICATIONS ON WHAT STAFF IS LOOKING AT FOR THE APPLICANT. AND ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO DESIGN REVIEW. WE ARE LOOKING AT OUR ELEVATION. 
          WE SCRUTINIZE IT. WE ARE GETTING A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT WE WANT IT TO BE GOOD DEVELOPMENT. 
          >> I AM OKAY BUT NOT TO DENY SOMEONE BECAUSE THERE WILL E 
          TWO OTHER ENTITIES. >> ONLY IF IT'S IN OUR CODE. 
          WE ARE GETTING SOME PARTICULAR USES THAT A LOT OF CITIES AE LOOKING AT. ARE THEY IN THE BEST INTEREST IN 
          THE CITY. >> SOME JUST JURISDICTIONS ARE MAKING THE UNDESIRABLE TYPEF BUSINESSES A LITTLE MORE EXPENSIVE TO BRING FORTH BECAUSE YOU CAN CONTROL THAT 
          [01:20:01]
          POPULATION WITH FEES AS WEL. >> SO THERE'S A LOT OF OPTIONS. 
          AT THE END OF THE DAY AND THE CHAMBER DOES TRULY BELIEVE THIS YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO Y TO PLAN YOUR CITY. 
          TRY CONTROL THE LOOK AT YOUR CITY. 
          YOU HAVE DESIGN STANDARDS AND LANDSCAPE STANDARDS AND YOU HAVE FEES THAT ARE LEVIED ON BUSINESSES CONDUCIVE TO THE WAY OR TYPE OF BUSINESS THEY THAT HELPS YOU CONTROL HOW BUSINESS LOOKS AND OPERATESN YOUR CITY. 
          >> ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN THE LEGISLATURE KEEPS TELLIG US THAT WE ARE OVER REGULATG AND SO THEY ARE TAKING AWAY ANYTHING THAT WE COME UP WIH ANYWAY BECAUSE THEY WANT ITO 
          BE TOTALLY A FREE-FOR-ALL. >> I DON'T DISAGREE WITH THAT. 
          I ALSO THINK YOU WANT TO GET THE IN PLACE NOW. 
          >> >> I THINK WE GOT SOME THINKINGO DO. THE 10,000 IN CUMBERLAND FARMS. I REMEMBER THAT VERY PAINFULLY. ANYTHING ELSE? 
          >> I DON'T KNOW IF STAFF HAS DIRECTION OR NOT. 
          I'M COMFORTABLE WITH WHAT WAS PRESENTED. 
          I DON'T KNOW ABOUT COMING BACK O THE PLANNING BOARD UNLESS I LOOK AT THE PORT ST. LUCIE MODEL A LITTLE BIT. 
          YOU JUST MENTIONED THAT SOME PROJECTS GO DIRECTLY TO COUNCIL AND NOT TO PLANNING BOARD. 
          YOU SAID THERE'S ONLY A FEW THAT GO THROUGH BOTH. 
          THEY HAVE -- I HAD TO LOOK AT TE CODE AND PULL IT UP. 
          WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON IT THS PAST YEAR. 
          FINALLY GOT SIGN OFF ON IT IN JULY. 
          IT'S BRAND NEW TO THE CITY AS WELL. 
          >> I THINK THAT THE STAFF LEVEL ONCE YOU GO BACK TO WHAT YOU TALKED ABOUT EARLIER. WE HAD THE ABOUT TO RULE ON IT D PUT IT AS POLICY. WE DID THAT WITH PUBLIC INPUT AD WHEN YOU COME TO THE CITY WHETHER YOU'RE A RESIDENT AD LOOKING AT THE CODE OR NEW TRYING TO BUILD SOMETHING YU GO TO THE CODE BOOK AND YOU OPEN IT UP AND IT SAYS WHAT YOUR PLAN BOOK IS SUPPOSED O LOOK LIKE. 
          >> >> IT SAYS HOW YOU GO THROUGH IT AND BY THE WAY. I THINK AT THE SAME TIME IT'S JT THE OTHER ELEMENT THAT'S MISSING IS THE TRANSPARENCY ELEMENT. IT'S JUST MAKING SURE IT'S OPEN AND AVAILABLE AT ALL-TIME. I'M NOT SAYING IT'S NOT. 
          MY POINT IS IT'S EASE OF ACCESS ALSO. 
          I THINK IT WOULD BE IMPORTANT FR US AS COMMISSIONERS TO KNOW THAT THERE IS A 9,999 SQUARE BUILDING COME TO PLAY IN THE CITY AND WE SHOULD BE ABLE O LOOK AT THAT EASILY. 
          SO SHOULD THE PUBLIC. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 
          >> GOOD POINT. >> 
          >> I CAN SEND YOU WE DID A POWERPOINT PUT TOGETHER BY STAFF ON THE CHANGES IN THE CITY THAT EXPLAINED WHAT GOS WHERE. I WILL FORWARD THAT TO YOUR STAF 
          FOR PRESENTATION. >> WHAT GOES WHERE? 
          >> NO IN THE CITY AS COMMISSIONR JOHNSON WAS REFERENCING THE ST. OF FORT ST. LUCIE'S CHANGES I WILL FORWARD THOSE TO YOUR STAFF. WERE STILL SEEKING YOUR INPUT. 
          I WILL SAY THE PLANNING BOARD IS AN ADVISORY BOARD AND IF ANYTHING GOES TO THEM FOR FINAL DETERMINATION THEN WE WOULD HAVE TO THAEUPBG POWES OF THAT BOARD. 
          THE PLANNING BOARD MAKES RECOMMENDATIONS TKREBLGTLY O YOU. THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE TO YOU. 
          I DON'T THINK WE WILL DIRECT ANYTHING TO STOP IT. 
          WITH ANYBODY HERE DIRECTING THA. WE TALKED ABOUT IT. 
          I DON'T THINK WE HAVE THAT. I DON'T HAVE THAT IN MIND. 
          I WOULD LIKE AND TALK TO MY PERN ON THE PLANNING BOARD ABOUT THE 10,000 SQUARE FEET. I REMEMBER WHEN 50,000 SQUARE FT CAME AND I HAD LONG CONVERSATION WITH HIM AND POINTS ABOUT AND AT THAT TIE I THINK HE WAS HAPPY ABOUT KEEPING THE 4,000 SQUARE FEET. 
          I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THAT INPUT FROM A PLANNING BOARD MEMBER WHO IS DEALING WITH IT ALL E TIME. 
          >> SO, ANYTHING ELSE? EVERYBODY IS HAPPY WITH 10,000 SQUARE FEET UNTIL WE STPHART IS THAT IT? 
          [01:25:13]
          >> I'M THE OPPOSITE. >> LOOK AT OUR CONDITIONAL USESI WILL HAVE LIGHTS IN MY BACKYARD. 
          >> WITH SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE AS OUR RULE. 
          WE DO HAVE TO AIR IT OUT IN THE PUBLIC. 
          PUBLIC HAS TO BE INVOLVED. I THINK THAT'S THE CHARGE RIGHT THERE. IT'S NOT SO MUCH THE ACTUAL DECISION IT MAKES BUT THE PROSELSZ BY WHICH WE GO 
          THROUGH IT. >> I WILL STEP BACK ONE BIT ON THAT 10,000 FOOT ISSUE AND Y MAYBE THERE A BETTER WAY THT WE CAN DO AND ACCOMMODATE IT ALSO. 
          >> THAT IS WHAT WE ARE ALL ABOU. TO SEE IF IT IS CONTENTIOUS THAT WE CAN GET IT OUT TO THE PUBLIC. 
          >> THERE'S WAY WE CAN CONTROL I. >> WELL, I THINK WE'RE ASKING YU TO PERFORM MAGIC. WE WANT YOU TO DO BOTH. 
          >> WERE GOING TO FORGE AHEAD BAD UPON THESE RECOMMENDATIONS AND THIS WILL COME TO YOU AS IT GOES FLEW THE PROCESS, THROUGH THE PLANNING BOARD, THROUGH ALL THE DEPARTMENTS AND YOU WILL HAVE ANOTHER FORMAL DETERMINATION AS TO W 
          YOU WISH TO PROCEED. >> GOOD. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE KNOW YOU'RE TRYING TO DO GOOD 
          WORK AND WE APPRECIATE IT. >> NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS TE 
          [c.  Sunrise Humane Society Update]
          SUNRISE HUMANE SOCIETY. >> WE HAVE OUR PARTNERS THAT WIL TELL US ABOUT THEIR FUTURE DIRECTION OF THE ORGANIZATIN AND THE RELATIONSHIP WITH TE CITY OF FORT PIERCE AND WE ALSO HAVE OUR DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY RESPONSE THAT IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. 
          >> ALL RIGHT. >> WELCOME. . 
          DO I HAVE YOUR NAMES RIGHT? >>> WELCOME. 
          >> GOOD MORNING. >> THANK YOU NOR HAVING US HERE 
          TODAY. >> I THINK YOU NEED TO PUT YOUR

          VETERINARIAN IN THIS SHELTE. >> WELCOME. 
          >> YOU'RE VERY FAMILIAR WITH USI THINK OVER THE 10 MONTHS THT WE'VE BEEN HERE. AND FAMILIAR WITH WHAT WE'RE DOG AT THE SHELTER. I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT OUR MISSION IS TO MAKE SOMETHING THAT THE CITY IS PROUD OF. 
          >> THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE HERE. I THINK THAT HAS NOT BEEN THE CE FOR THE LAST BIT OF HISTORY. THERE'S BAN LOT OF TRANSITIONS T WEAR WORKING HARD SO THAT WL BE SOMETHING THAT WE ARE WORKING WITH THE CITY AND WE LOVE THE ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICERS.  WE ARE WORKING WITH. . 
          PART OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING IS WORKING WITH A LOT OF OTHER ORGANIZATIONS SO THIS DOCUMT IS SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS AND THIS DOESN'T MEAN THEY WILL GO AGAINST FUNDING. 
          IT MEANS MAYBE IT'S IN KIND DONATIONS THEY HAVE GIVEN US AND THE WHOLE LOWER HALF OF THIS IS THE ANIMAL WELFARE. 
          ALL OF THESE ORGANIZATIONS HAVE TAKEN ANIMALS FROM US AND WE PROVIDED CARE FOR THE ANIMA. THAT'S HUGE WHEN YOU HAVE SO MANY COMING IN ALL THE TIME. IF SOMEONE IS LISTENING IN THE AUDIENCE. I APOLOGIZE. 
          REMIND ME. >> WE ARE VERY PROUD OF THE DONATIONS THAT WE HAVE GOTTN SO FAR BEING A NEW 
          [01:30:02]
ORGANIZATION FROM THE GROUND UP. 
          WE STARTED WITH SOMETHING THANKS TO DR. VIEWERS ON BOARD. 
          STARTING THIS AND WE'VE GOTTEN O MUCH DONATED IN OUR NEEDED MEDICAL SUPPLIES. ED. 
          WE ARE A NEW ORGANIZATION AND WE ARE APPLYING FOR GRANTS BUT BEING TOLD MANY GRANTS AGENCIES ARE WAITING UNTIL E HAVE A LONGER HISTORY. MANY IN RECOVERY IN THE APPLICATION THREE YEARS OR OLDER. 
          THERE ARE A FEW WE ARE WORKING WITH PETS MARK AND YOUNGER ORGANIZATIONS. WE ARE GETTING LOTS OF OUR SUPPLIES DONATED NOW. JUST AS WE JUST CONTINUED TO GON AND SHOW THE GOOD WORK THATE ARE DOING WE ARE GETTING MOE 
          AND MORE SUPPORT. >>> 
          >> . >> HOW WE HAVE TAILOR THE SHELTR FOR OUR NEEDS. . WANT TO ENSURE EVERYONE THAT WEE DOING OUR BEST TO CARE FOR THIS BUILDING. 
          THEY EVEN JOY BEING TOGETHER. IT'S A MORE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT FOR THEM. HOPEFULLY THEY WILL MOVE INTO A HOUSE. IT IS IN THE CENTER OF THAT MICK KHUR OR HOW WE HOUSE OUR KITTENS. 
          IF ONE KITTEN BECOMES ILL OUR ENTIRE POPULATION OF KITTENS 
          DON'T BECOME ILL. >> I'M VERY PROUD OF. 
          THIS IS THE HEART OF THE SHELTER BECAUSE IT'S WHERE ALL THE LAUNDRY AND FOOD GETS PREPAD FOR THE ANIMALS. 
          JETS AND APPLIANCES DONATED ALL THREE OF THESE STACKING HIGH EFFICIENCY WASHER AND DRIERS AND HAD A VOLUNTEER CREW CAE IN AND BUILT THE SHELVES TO PUT IF LAUNDRY WAY. 
          WE PUT IN TWO DISHWASHERS. WE ARE NOT PAYING STAFF TO WASH DISHERS AND THE FOLDING TABLES. 
          THIS IS WHERE WE ASSIGN VOLUNTES AS THEY FOLD LAUNDRY AND MOE 
          TESTIFY DISHES ALONG. >> THE MEDICAL ROOM IS KIND OF E 
          SOUL OF THE SHELTER. >> IT' HOW WE KEEP OUR IMAGINES HEALTHY. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT THING TO UNDER STPRAPBD PERMITTING ASPECT IN ORBED TORE HAVE THESE DRUG WES HAVE TO HAVE WHAT'S CALLED A STATE OF FLORIDA HEALTH CLINIC HERE ESTABLISHMENT PERMIT. 
          IT'S A MOUTHFUL. IF YOU DON'T HAVE THIS PERMIT YU CAN'T ORDER DRUGS. IN ORDER TO GET THIS PERMIT YOU HAVE TO HAVE A LICENSED VETERAN IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA SIGN ON TO THIS PER. WE HAVE A NICE EXAM TABLE AND AL OF THE MEDICAL CARE IS PROVIDED BY OUR MEDICAL MANAGER WHO IS A VET TPHAEUP TECHNICIAN. 
          >> . >> YOU ALSO HAVE THE STAND ALONE BUILDING IN THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY WHICH HAD NOT OUR FAVORITE USE WHEN WE WERE NT ON THE PROPERTY. 
          >> BUT VOLUNTEERS PUT A FRENCH DRAIN ALONG THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING. I THINK ONE OF THE AUDIENCE MEMBERS ARE FOR US NOW WHEN SHE WAS VOLUNTEERING. 
          THIS BUILDING USED TO FLOOD. THERE WAS FLOORING IN THERE THAT HAD BEEN RUINED PRIOR TO US MOVING IN THAT VOLUNTEERS AO REMOVED AND ALL OF THAT SO THAT THE CITY CAN FAINT FLOS FOR US. THAT IS A GREAT USE THERE. 
          THIS IS WHAT SOME OF YOU MAY KNW IS BUILDING C. IT HAS BEEN REWORKED IN THE FRONT. WE HAVE ROOM FOR SMALL DUG DOGS WHEN THEY COME IN. WHEN THEY COME IN AS A STRAY. 
          THEY HAVE TO BE HELD FAR CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME. 
          THEY CAN BE HOUSED IN THERE AND THEN THEY GET VACCINATED, DEWORMED IN THE DEPARTMENT HANDLES. 
          WE PUT IN A SCALE AND AN EXAM TABLE. 
          WE HAD DONATIONS TO PUT IN THESE WONDERFUL FANS THROUGHOUT TE KENNELS TO KEEP THE TEMPERATURE DOWN FOR THE STF 
          AND FOR THE ANIMALS. >> . 
          [01:35:01]
          >> WE ALSO HAVE ONE OF OUR VOLUNTEERS MADE SURE WHATEVR SECURITY CAMERAS WERE THERE THEN ENHANCED IT SO THE WHOE CAMPUS NOW HAS SECURITY CAMERAS WHICH MAY NOT SEEM LIKE SOMETHING HE WOULD NEEDLES IN AN ANIMAL SHELTER BUT WHEN A LOT OF THE ANIMAS WHEN THEY FIRST COME IN MAYE EVIDENCE. THEY MAY BE THERE ON A LEGAL HOD AND PEOPLE MAY WANT THOSE ANIMALS BACK SO SWREP TO TO*EUG MAKE SURE THE PLACE S SECURE WITH THAT. 
          >> NOW WE START STKPHAORB SO TO SO* THE BLUE AND THE GREEN BARS SHOW THE NUMBERS OF IMAGINES THAT CAME IN AND WE TRANSFERRED OUT TO OTHER ORGANIZATIONS WHEN THE TEMPORARY SHELTER WAS RUNNI. THE YELLOW AND THE RED BARS ARE SUNRISE HUMANE. SO IN THE BEGINNING THEY WERE NT OPEN FOR THE PUBLIC TO COMEN IT'S VERY SIMILAR BUT AS TIE GOES ON WHEN WE WERE MORE ON TO THE PUBLIC AND WE HAD A BIGGER STAT YOU CAN SEE THE NUMBERS OF INTAKE AND THE YELLOW BARS GOES UP AND UP D UP. 
          >> SOME PAIRED TO THE SAME MONTS LAST YEAR. 
          WHY IS THIS STPHORPBT OUR ORIGIL PROPOSALS AND BUDGET AND PLANNING WERE BASED ON THE NUMBERS WE GOT FROM THE TEMPORARY SHELTER AND WE WOURLD LOOK AT OUR BUDGET AD GO WHERE'S OUR MONEY? THEN WE LOOK AT TPHURPLERS AND Y WE HAVE DOUBLED INTAKE. WE ARE NOT GOING OUT AND BRINGIG OUT ANIMALS. WE ARE NOT PUTTING ADS IN THE PAPER. IT' JUST THAT WE'RE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. 
          WE ONLY TAKE THE JURISDICTIONS THAT WE'RE ALLOWED. 
          SO IT DOES RUN ABOUT EVEN CITY D COUNTY. 
          SOME MONTHS CITY WOULD BE MORE. IT'S FAIRLY EVEN. 
          THIS IS TO SHOW THAT WEAR STILL MAINTAINING WITH THE FUNDS THAT WE HAVE BY IS UP MEANTG WITH THE DONATIONS THAT WE'E GETTING.  PLANNING IS HARD BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHEN E COUNTIES LEAVING. WE ALSO WILL BE LEFT WITH THE ANIMALS THAT ARE THERE NOW THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT FROM THE COUNTY. THEY DON'T NOT PLANNED TO TAKE THEM WHEN THEY GET OFF. THAT IS JUST A BRIDGE WE WILL HE TO CROSS. THIS IS A QUICK OVER VIEW OF THE NUMBER OF ANIMALS THAT HAVE COME IN EACH MONTH AND WHERE THEY HAVE GONE. WE PROVIDED COPIES. 
          IF YOU NEED TO SEE AND WE CAN E-MAIL THEM. 
          BUT THE MAIN PART OF IT IS WE AE MAINTAINING A NO KILL SHELT. 
          . WE ARE WORKING HARD. 
          THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND FROM NOT ONLY AN ETHICS POINT OF VIEW BUT WHN WE GET INTO THE NUTS AND BOS OF FUND RAISING DONORS WANTO HEAR THAT YOU ARE DOING EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO SAVE N ANIMAL'S LIFE. 
          THAT'S WHERE THE MONEY COMES FROM. 
          EVERY LIFE IS WORTH SOMETHING. UNDERSTAND SHOOTING FOR STARS IS WHAT WE'VE DONE AND WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED IT IN A SHORT 
          PERIOD OF TIME. >> AND WE ARE ONE OF THE FEW STHAERLTS WHEN WE DO OUR NUMBERS WE COUNT EVERY SINGE REASON FOR YOUTHSATION. IF THEY ARE BROUGHT INTO US WE D A DOG WITH A BROKEN PELVIS THAT WAS UNFIXABLE BUT NO OE CLAIMED IT. IT HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS. THE SPECIALIST AT THE ER SAID IT WOULD BE THOUSANDS TO NIX DOG. THAT WAS A DOG WE CANNOT PLACE. 
          THOSE WERE THE CHOICES WE HAVE O MAKE EVERY DAY. 
          IT DOESN'T MAKE US POPULAR. >> I'M SURE IT DOESN'T. 
          >> THIS IS WHAT WE DO FOR OUR PLANNING. 
          WE'RE TRYING TO TRACK THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ANIMALS THAT COME TO US. CATS AND DOGS. 
          THEY ARE ALL MIXED. WE GET IN A LOT. 
          I LOVE THEM. I WILL SPEND ALL DAY WITH THEM. 
          BUT THAT JUST LETS US KNOW THAT OUR COMMUNITY WE NEED O DO SOME EDUCATION. WE NEED TO GET OUT THERE AND DOA LITTLE BIT MORE TO FIND OUTI KNOW WHERE THEY'RE COMING 
          FROM. >> FIND THEM FOR ME. 
          I THINK I KNOW WHAT IT IS. >>> ALL THOSE DIFFERENT ONES. 
          BIG GIANT HEADS. THEY COME IN TO US 90% ARE UNSPE OR UNNEUTERRED. THEY ARE PROBABLY TRYING TO MAKE 
          [01:40:03]
MORE ON THEIR OWN. THEY JUMPED OUTER OF THE FENCE O 
          GO FIND. >> THIS IS A CHALLENGING THING R THE SHELTER. MOST HOAS AND HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE DO NOT LEVEL. SO PLACING THESE ANIMAL INS HOMS DOESN'T MEAN THERE'S SOMETHG WRONG WITH THESE ANIMALS BUT ITEMS MORE DIFFICULT. WE WILL GET A LITTLE DOG AND HAE 40 APPLICATIONS.  MEANWHILE 90% OF THE DOGS IN THE SHELR 
          ARE PIT BULL MIXES. >> WE HAVE 127 DOGS TODAY. 
          >> AND WE DON'T SINGLE OUT THAT BREED FOR ANYTHING TO GET TEMPMENT TESTED. THEY GET TREATED LIKE ANY OTHER BREED THEY HAVE IN THE SHELTER. 
          THEY ARE GREAT DOGS. THE ONES THAT WE HAD HAD. 
          >> THIS IS JUST TO SHOW THAT THE IS SOME INCOME STREAM COMING THROUGH THE SHELTER. PASSED ON THE CITY TO THE COUNTY ALSO. SO IT JUST SHOWS THE VARIETY OF MONEY THAT WE GET FROM LICENSING AND THAT SORT OF THING THAT WE PASS ALONG. SO WE ARE A REVENUE STREAM. 
          WE ARE MAKING SURE THEY ARE HAPPENING. 
          >> WHAT WERE HOPING TO DO IS JUT EXPAND OUR ADOPTION PROGRAM WE HAVE VOLUNTEERS THAT ARE TAKE OUR DOGS AT THIS POINT OUT TO OUTSIDE VENUES TO GET THEM ADOPTED WHICH IS GREAT. 
          WE WOULD LIKE SOMEONE FROM EVERY PART OF THE KPHAOUB COMMUNIY TO THINK THEY WOULD LIKE TOE ON ORDER BOARD. 
          EXPANDING OUR FOSTER PROGRAM. WE ARE STARTING ONLINE THRIFT STORE BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVEA PLACE FAR AT THIS POINT. 
          >> AT LEAST TWO OTHER VETERINARIANS HAVE VOLUNTEED TO HELP OUT. WE ALSO DO OTHER SERVICES THERE. 
          MIKE CHIPS AND OTHER VACCINES IF NEEDED AND THE PET LICENSIN. 
          WE WANT TO EXPAND OUR PRESENCE N THE COMMUNITY. 
          GOAL. WE GET MACHINE DONATED IS TO HAE THE CLINIC PERMANENTLY AT TE FACILITY. THE NON-PROFIT SHE IS THERE EVERY THURSDAY DO THAT BUT WE WOULD LIKE TO HE 
          IT THERE. >> THIS IS PART OF THE HELP OF ANIMAL WELFARE IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          >> BELIEVE IT OR NOT THERE'S CITIES THAT HAVE ANIMAL SHORTAGE IN THIS COUNTRY. THAT'S BECAUSE THOSE AREAS HAVE MANDATORY SPADE NEUTER PROGRAMS. 
          WE CAN THINK ABOUT THAT. >> WE ARE TALKING OVER 175,000. 
          THAT'S SOMETHING THAT IS UNTKPREPBTSED IN MY PROFESSION. SO, PART OF GETTING THE SHELTER 
          [01:45:04]
AND ACTUAL HUMANE SEWTY IS HAVING THAT RESOURCE AVAILABLE. NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT THAT CALL ABOUT THESE SERVICES ARE OFF THE CHARTS. 
          AND PEOPLE ARE NOT JUST COMING N THERE TO ADOPT A PETPY THAT COMING IN THERE LOOKING FOR HELP. 
          >> THESE ARE PICTURES FROM OUR FIRST AND SECOND ADOPTION. 
          >> NUMBER 255 YESTERDAY. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? 
          >> . >> COMMISSIONERS? 
          >> . I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU ABOUT YOR NEEDS. YOU HAD THAT LIST BACK UP THERE. 
          WE NEED COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO AE GOING TO BE DEDICATED TO FUD RAISING. I WOULD ASSUME THAT. 
          IS THAT CORRECT? OR RECRUITING VOLUNTEERS. 
          AT SOME STATE WE WERE TALKING WN YOU WERE GOING TO TAKE OH OR THE SHELTER. IT WOULD BE A WHILE BEFORE YOU HAD VOLUNTEERS BECAUSE YOU NEEDD TO TRAIN THEM. 
          ARE YOU IN THAT PERIOD NOW? WHERE YOU CAN TRAIN VOLUNTEERS? 
          >> WE ARE TRANSITIONING FROM NO VOLUNTEERS TO MORE. 
          WE HAVE A TRAINING PROCESS NOW. IT'S EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO COME N THAT DON'T WANT TO WORK FOR THE ANIMALS TO VOLUNTEER BECAUSE IT'S NOT AS MUCH TRAINING. 
          THE HISTORY -- FOLD TOWELS OR SOMETHING. 
          IT'S WHERE WE HAVE TO BE CAREFU. >> EVEN SOME OF OUR MORE 
          EXPERIENCED VOLUNTEERS. . >> WHEN MET WITH YOU PRIVATE VATLY. ONE OF THE THINGS YOU STRESSED S THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT HAVE TO HAPPEN THAT ARE DRIN BY INSURANCE. YOUR INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS. 
          A LOT OF YOU ARE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES WHICH A VOLUNTEER MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND OR CHAE AT IS BECAUSE OF THE INSURAE REQUIREMENTS THAT YOU HAVE O HAVE. 
          >> NOT ONLY IT'S HARD ENOUGH TO GET INSURANCE FOR THIS TYPEF BUSINESS BECAUSE OF WHAT CAN HAPPEN. 
          BUT ALSO ONE OF OUR BUILDINGS IS EVIDENCE IN IT. 
          AND VERY DANGEROUS DOGS HAVE BEN HOUSED IN THERE. 
          WHILE PEOPLE MIGHT WANT TO WALK THROUGH THIS NOT PREPARED FR ANYTHING THAT CAN HAPPEN. POTENTIALLY A AN AN KPHAL GET OT OF THE KENNEL. ONLY TRAINED STAFF CAN GET B IN THOSE BUILDINGS. PEOPLE WILL SAY WHAT ARE YOU HIDING? THAT'S NOT WHAT IT'S ABOUT. 
          THEY HAVE TO BE ESCORTED OR CANT TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS BECAUSE THT ISN'T WHAT YOU CAN DO. IT'S AS WELL AS PROMOTERS AN RECRUITERS AND FOR VOLUNTEES AND FUNDS.  I KNOW WEST WOOD 
          DOES. >> WORKING. 
          WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO WORK WITH WEST WOOD. 
          THEY DON'T HAVE A VETERINARIAN THAT WILL COME IN AND VOLUNTEER TO DO THE SPADE/NEUTER WHICH IS REALLY WHAT THAT FACILE CITY. THAT STRUCTURE THEY HAVE WITHIN 
          [01:50:02]
          THE SCHOOL IS ABOUT. >> THAT IS WHAT WE ARE WORKING ON. THEIR INSURANCE GOING BACK AND 
          FORTH. >> THAT'S WHERE WE HAD LEFT IT WITH THEM. NOW WITH BREAKS THIS TIME OF YER 
          AND A LOT OF THINGS. >> RIGHT. 
          THE COUNTY IS STILL INVOLVED AND THEY TOOK A VOTE NOT TO BE T THEY HAVEN'T OFFICIALLY NOTIFIED YOU SO YOU ARE NOT SURE ABOUT THEIR WITHDRAW DATE. 
          >> IS THAT CORRECT? >> YES. 
          WE HAVE AN ATTORNEY THATS THAT COMMUNICATED WITH THE COUNTY AND WE PUT TOGETHER WHAT OUR TRANSITION IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE AND WE ARE WAITING FOR THEM. 
          THEY SAID 120 DAYS BUT THEN THEY SAID NO APRIL. 
          END OF APRIL. >> WHAT? 
          >> WE STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN AN OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION. 
          THEY ARE JUST GOING BACK AND FOT WITH THE ATTORNEY. 
          >> QUESTION QUICK. THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING THIS UPDATE AND IT'S MUCH NEEDED. I LEARNED A FEW THINGS TODAY. 
          JUST CURIOUS WITH YOUR SPADE NEUTERED PROGRAM. 
          WHAT IS YOUR WAIT TIME? >>> FOR THE SHELTER ON MALLS? 
          >>> OFF THE STREET. >> THAT'S MY PERSONAL BUSINESS. 
          IT'S OPERATION SOS. IT'S A NON-PROFIT. 
          I AM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. I AM THE PAID VETERINARIAN FOR OPERATION: SOS. IF IT'S A CAT WE CAN GET YOU IN TOMORROW. IF IT'S AN 80-POUND DOG THEN THE MAY BE A TWO WEEK WAIT. IT'S A SHORT WAIT TIME NOW. 
          >> ONE OTHER QUICK QUESTION. >> WHAT IS THE LOCAL COLLEGE? 
          >>> A DR. OF VETERINARY MEDICINE IS THE MOST COMPETITIVE PROGRAMS IN THE WORLD. THE UNITED STATES ARE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER SCHOOLS. UP TO 27 VETERINARY SCHOOLS. 
          >> WHICH IS ONE OF THE CLOSEST? >> IT'S UF. 
          >> IN GAINSVILLE. >> ANY RELATIONSHIPS GOING ON THERE? I'M TRYING TO THINK OF THE VOID YOU ARE SAYING FINDING VET SERVICES AND PEOPLE LOOKING FOR JOB EXPERIENCE IT WOULDE A NATURAL FIT. 
          AND WITH SOME OF THE RELATIONSHS WE MAY HAVE TO BRING SOME OF THAT TALENT TO THE AREA TO HELP SERVICE SOME OF THE NES THAT WE HAVE WOULD SEEM A PATHWAY THAT I LOOK TO. 
          >>> THEY DO HAVE A SHELTER MEDICINE PROGRAM WHICH THE DOCTOR HAS BEEN IN TOUCH WIH THEM. 
          I WILL BE ATTENDING LARGE INTERNATIONAL VETERINARY CONFERENCE IN ORLANDO IN JANUARY. 
          THAT'S ONE OF NIP INTENTIONS. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WAS THE CASE 
          [01:55:02]
HERE. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT CONNECTINGO 
          COMMUNITIES. >> ONE OF THE UNDER SERVED IS TE LINCOLN PARK AREA BECAUSE WE NEED TO GET SOME EDUCATION D REACH THE CULTURAL BACKGROUS THAT ARE SO TKEU VEERS IN TT COMMUNITY TO ENGAGE THAT COMMUNITY AND I THINK ANY GRADUATE COULD CERTAINLY DO IT. 
          I'M REALLY HOPING THAT CAN STEPP AND HELP WITH THIS AND UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA CAN SP UP AND HELP WITH THAT AND BRING SOME OF THE MINORITY TALENT TO THIS AREA TO HELPS CONNECT ALL OF THESE COMMUNITIES THAT ARE SO APPARENT IN OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY NAP'S MY THOUGHT N IT. LY CONTACT TO SEE IF HE HAS SOME 
          CONNECTIONS. >> DISAPPOINTED OUT THERE POP. 
          >> WE WILL SEE HIM SOON. >>> WE HAVE WATER. 
          THEY DON'T. >> THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ALL YOU DO. I THINK WE HAVE ALL BEEN PART OT PROCESS. GOT TO SEE IT BEFORE.  I WAS TOTALLY AMAZED WHEN I THINKI WENT THROUGH YOUR VAN AND HW EFFICIENT IT WAS AND KNOWING WHERE EVERYTHING IS GOING AD HOW IT'S JUST A PRODUCTION PROCESS IN THE WAY YOU CAN STREAM LINE THAT AND GET IT DOWN TO EFFICIENCIES. 
          IT WAS REALLY AMAZING. I THINK THIS TIME LAST YEAR I WS HOPING THAT WE WERE AT A POT IN TIME WHERE WE HAD SOMETHG THAT WAS RUNNING FORWARD. I KNOW YOU WHATTED A LOT OF SETBACKS OFF THE BAT THAT WT LEFT AND RIGHT. 
          MAYBE SOME ASSUMPTION SUPGSS BUT NOW THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOT ACCOUNTING EXITING THIS PROCESS AND MY PARTICULAR SITUATION IN LOOKING AT THE LONG TERM SUSTAINABILITY OF THE WHOLE THING IS THIS CHANGING THE BUSINESS PLAN D IT'S REALLY CAUSED NOT ONLYA PROBLEM FOR YA'LL BUT ALSO R US. I WANT TO KNOW WHERE WEAR GOING FROM HERE. ALL THE SCENARIOS THAT WILL HAPPEN. WHAT'S THE IMPACT OF FORT PIERC? WHAT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY? HOW CAN WE GO AHEAD AND MAKE SUE THAT WE CAN JUMP OVER THIS HURDLE AND CONTINUE ON WITH THE PROCESS? WE HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS ONE F THE COMMUNITIES THAT GET OUT IN FRONT OF ALL THE SPADE AD NEUTER. EVERYTHING ELSE LIKE THAT WITH R PRIVATE PARTNERS AND HUMANE SOCIETY. 
          WE WANT TO CONTINUE DOING THAT. IS. 
          WE DO SERVICES WHERE YOU CAN GOO HUMANE SEWTY ATKPW-PBD FETE THINGS THE DONE. GET ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS. . 
          I SEE JOHNSON HAS GOT A LOVELY - MY WIFE SAW THIS. 
          SHE WOULD LIKE TO DRIVE TAKE THT FROM YOU. 
          >>> BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR. QUESTION MAKE THAT HAPPEN. 
          >> PEBBLES WOULD BE OVER THERE TODAY. 
          >> IT'S A BIG HURDLE BUT IT IS N MY HOME. 
          SHE WOULD HAVE TO GET PASSED ME. THIS IS THE TYPE OF COMMUNITY I WANT TO BE. I WANT TO BE PROPROACTIVE. 
          I WANT TO EDUCATE FOLKS. YOU GO TO A HUMANE SOCIETY AND ADOPTION FACILITY AND GRAB A DOG OR A CAT AND GO HOME AND THEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TOO WIT AFTER THAT. 
          THAT'S WHERE A LOT OF PROBLEMS BEGIN. 
          I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT OF OUT REAH FOLKS THAT HELP OUT WITH THT IN THE COMMUNITY. THAT'S THE TYPE OF HUMANE SOCIEY THAT I ENVISIONED HERE. IT SEEMS LIKE WE ARE NEVER GETTG THAT OFF THE GROUND AND I SHARE YOUR FRUSTRATION AND EVENTUALLY WE WILL HAVE TO E THE BUSINESS PLAN HOW THIS MOVES FORWARD AND HOW WE CAN TALK ABOUT SUSTAINABILITY OR THE NEXT THREE-FIVE YEARS. WE ARE JUMPING OVER THAT NOW. 
          WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GET INTO IT THE WEED INS THIS ONE.  E WILL TALK ABOUT HOW WE KEEP THIS MOVING FORWARD. 
          >> YOU'RE RIGHT. I AGREE WITH YOU.  PART OF OUR FRUSTRATION IS THAT'S HOW SE GOT HER NON-PROFIT UP AND 
          [02:00:03]
RUNNING AND HOW THANASIS ANTETOKOUNMPO'S HOW WE INTENDED TO DO THIS AND WE D THESE 93 TURNS WHERE ALL OFA SUDDEN WE GOT OVER TWICE AS MANY ANIMALS COMING IN THANE HAD EXPECTED. NOT SURE WHY BUT WE JUST DO. 
          WE ARE HANDLING THAT. WE WILL HAVE HALF AS MANY ANIMALS. NOW WE GET ALL OF OUR ANIMAL FOD AND 90% OF OUR MEDICATIONS DONATED. 
          WE WERE NOT AT THAT POINT IN THE BEGINNING. 
          BECAUSE WE HAD NOT MADE ALL THOE PARTNERSHIPS. 
          THESE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES E NOT GOING TO GIVE US THOUSAS WORTH OF MEDICATION. THEY WILL NOT GIVE US. 
          THEY NEEDED TO SEE WHO WE WERE. THANK GOODNESS THEY ALREADY KNEW HER REPUTATION. I MANAGE A VETERINARY PRACTICE O WE WERE ABLE TO BRING THOSE CONNECTIONS TOGETHER TO GET RSOME OF THESE THINGS. WE WILL BE LEFT WITH ANIMALS IN 
          THE COUNTY. >> WE ARE SENDING TO DOING REALY REACHING IN THIS TO MOVE THE ANIMALS OUT AND TO MAINTAIN THAT NO KILL STATISTIC. WILL TELL YOU IT'S NOT A POPULAR JOB. ANIMALS GO STRONG EMOTION INS PEOPLE. DECISIONS HAVE LITERALLY LIFE AD DEATH DECISIONS ARE MADE ANA GROUP OF US ON NOT A DAILY BASIS BUT AN WEEKLY BASIS. WE HAVE TO HAVE ROOM IN THE SHELTER. ONLY FOR HUMANE REASONS. 
          >> SO IN THE TERM A LOT OF FOLKS DON'T UNDERSTAND IT. 
          WHEN YOU BOASTED NO KILL FACILIY THE FIRST THING THAT POPS IN MY MIND ONLY BECAUSEVY HEARD THIS FOR YEARS IS THE BIG DOLLAR SIGN. WIT COMES A LARGE COST WHEN YOU START TALKING ABOUT THAT. WHEN YOU ARE A NO KILL. 
          WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT HAS A PHYSIL OR BEHAVIOR ISSUES. 
          I AM TALKING ABOUT SICK DOGS WIH A BROKEN PELVIS OR SOMETHING 
          LIKE THAT. >> OKAY. 
          >> AND YOU'RE STILL CONSIDERED A NO KILL. 
          >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> YOU CAN HAVE THEM SIGN ALL TE DOCUMENTS. IF WE KNEW THAT IT WAS DANGEROUS DOG. . THE NEXT PERSON THEY BITE --. 
          IT'S HARD TO MAKE PLANS. . HAD I KNOWN THIS TIME LAST YEAR WHEN I WAS COUNTY STAFF ASSURED ME THEY WERE IN THE INNER LOCAL AGREEMENT BEFORI GOT INTO THESE. 
          AND WE ARE -- >> THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOG 
          [02:06:58]
.  THERE ARE KPHAL HREBLGING TIMES WHEN I WATCH THE COMMUNITY INTERACT WITH BOTH HUMANE SOCIETIES. 
          WE HAVE TWO NEW GROUP INS ST. LUCIE COUNTY. . 
          >> FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND. YOU HAVE A WORKING BOARD. 
          I AGREE. THAT'S CRITICAL AND THEN YOU HAE TO BUILD THOSE COMMITTEES HOWEVER YOU CAN TO GET OUT THERE AND THE MARKETING PLA. YOU KNOW ALL THIS STUFF. 
          >> WHAT I WITNESS AND WHAT I TAK ABOUT THAT. 
          I SAW THE ST. LUCIE HUMANE SOCIY WITH FLIERS EVERYWHERE PROMOTING COME ADOPT AND COE DONATE AND ALL THIS GOOD STUFF. AND KNOW VERY WELL SUNRISE HUMANE SOCIETY SAY U WILL NOT DO THAT. THAT IS THE DOOR OPEN AND KEEP E FUNDS COMING IN AND NOW I HE THIS OTHER AGENCY MOVING TO THE NORTH AND GOING BACK SOUTH.  THAT BOTHERS ME. 
          IT'S ALL IN THE GOOD SPIRIT OF WHAT'S HAPPENING. 
          THAT'S THE PART WHERE I SAY THAS OKAY. 
          IT'S A GOOD THING. .  THE COUNTY AND IT'S ALSO TRICKY TOO. IS EARLIER AND IT WAS THE INTAE NUMBERS. .  DON'T HAVE IT ON MY IPAD -- BUT WHAT WERE THE TOTAL NUMBERS BETWEEN THE TO AGENCIES. 414 AND ST. LUCIE COUNTY WAS 518 
          ANIMALS MORE. >> SO ABOUT 20% DIFFERENCE. 
          THERE'S BEEN SOME SCUTTLE BUG AD MAYBE IF I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT THE EXACTLY THE NUMBERS ARE BUT I KNOW THAT THE OTHER INFORMATION THAT S OUT THERE MAYBE THE CITY NES TO PAY MORE. HOW YOU WILL MAINTAIN AND SUSTAN EARLIER. SO THEN I START LOOKING AT NUMBR OF BUILDINGS. IF SOMETHING WERE TO CHANGE WITH 
          [02:10:23]
THE COUNTY. DO WE NEED TO LOOK FOR AN AGREEMENT OR JUST REDUCE WHT YOU ARE UTILIZING. 
          MUCH THOUSANDS OF CARE FEET NOW. 20% OR 30%. 
          I AM NOT HERE ADVOCATING. JUST BE TRANSPARENT ABOUT IT WIH US. RUNNING THE ORGANIZATION OPINIOI WILL TAKE IT TO LITTLE LEAGE DAYS. 
          YOU ARE TAKING ON VOLUNTEERS. THAT IS ONE OF THE HARD *ETS JOS YOU CAN EVER TAKE ON. EVERYONE IS IN IT TO GO TEA. 
          THEN WE ALL FORGET THAT WE ALL HAVE OPINIONS. 
          THEN ALL OF SAWEDDEN THERE'S DIFFERENCES. 
          THAT'S RIGHT. >> SO WHATEVER WE CAN DO TO KEEA SURPRISE AT WHAT'S HAPPENING PLEASE SNIPE KNOW THAT IT WL PROBABLY HAVE TO EVALUATE WT WE ARE DOING FINANCIALLY ALG WITH YOU. . SO I CHALLENGE YOU AND VOLUNTEER AND COMMITTEE AND MARKETING AND IF WE CAN DO WHATEVER WE'RE ALLOWED TO DO. BUT THIS IS A COMMUNITY DRIVEN OPERATION. TRY TO BRING IN PUBLIC ANIMALS LIKE A BOARDING SITUATION JT BECAUSE OF DISEASE TRANSMISSION BEYOND THE PROPERTY. 
          SO WE TALKED WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT NEED TO HOUSE ANIMALS THAT ARE ALSO RESCUE. 
          WE HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINS THAT WE ARE DISKUGSZING FOR USE OF THAT. YOU ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE CARE OF 
          THE PROPERTY. >>> 
          >> I WOULD LIKE TO ADD A LITTLE BIT TO WHAT WE REALIZED IS THAT BOARD BOARDING AN ANIML FOR $10 A NIGHT IS NOT HOW U MAKE UP $3,000. FLORIDA HAS A LOT OF ANIMALS. SO HOW CAN WE GET -- AND THE ANIMAL BUDGET. 
          THAT'S IN THE COUNTRY AND IN THE WORLD. 
          AND IT'S IN WEST PALM BEACH.  HW CAN WE HAVE ON THAT? 
          [02:15:02]
          THAT IS IN THE COMMUNITY. >> WE WILL GET IT THAT WAY. 
          >>> >> I THINK THIS COMMISSION OF SPEAKING FOR MYSELF BUT I THINK FOR MY FELLOW COMMISSIONERS WE ARE COMMITD TO HELP YOU SUCCEED BECAUSEF YOU SUCCEED THEN FORT PIERCE AND OUR ANIMALS SUCCEED ANDY CONTRAST THIS DISCUSSION WIH THE LAST DISCUSSION WITH THE DISKUGSZ WE HAD ABOUT HOMEL. AND WE HAVE TO RUN A GOVERNMENT. 
          WE HAVE TO MAKE BUSINESS DECISIN AND AND SOME TIMES WITH ANIMALS IT'S MORE A LOT OF DRAMA. 
          SO, I AM SPEAKING FOR MYSELF. WE ARE COMMITTED TO HELP YOU SUCCEED. WE WANT TO HELP AND WE APPRECIAE ALL THE WORBLG THAT YOU HAVE DONE SO FAR AND RECOGNIZE TT IT HAS ALL KINDS OF GROWING PAINS BECAUSE YOU ARE A BRAD NEW ORGANIZATION. SO, WE WOD LIKE TO FOR YOU TO SUCCEED D WE WANT TO BE ABOUT OF THAT. . 
          >> ANYTHING ELSE? >>> 
          >> JUST BRIEFLY AND I THINK I ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE FORT PIERCE ANIMAL CONTROL AND YR OPERATION I HAVE HEARD THAT IT'S BETTER THAN IT'S EVER BEEN BEFORE AND WE HAVE GRET WORKING RELATIONSHIP. IF YOU COULD JUST TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW THAT IS WORKIG OR ISN'T WORKING. 
          >> IT IS WORKING BECAUSE THEY AE VERY -- THEY LET US KNOW WHN THEY ARE COMING. WE GET THEM IN AND OUT SO THEY N GET BACK ON THE ROAD.  IF WE NEED SOMETHING WE NOW HAVE SUBJECT OF HUMANE SOCIETY. CERTIFIED NOW. 
          THE SHELTER. THE OTHER DAY IT PICKED UP A LITTLE DOG THAT WAS VEERLY INJURED. 
          WE ARE OFFERING AN OFFICE FOR TM TO JUMP INTO. 
          WE HAVE RESERVED THEM FOR THAT. IT'S IN THERE FOR ANIMAL CONTROL USE. I AM FEELING GUILTY THAT WE KEPT 
          YOU AWAY THIS LONG. . >> THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA S 
          [d.  Boards and Committee Assignment Overview]
THE ASSIGNMENT OVER VIEW. I PASSED OUT FOR EACH OF YOU THE BIG SHEET THAT GOES SHOWS EVERYTHING OVER THE WEEKEND. 
          I DID SHARE THIS WITH COMMISSIOR ELECT GAINS AND HE HAS PROVE MED HIS INPUT ON THINGS THAT ARE OF INTEREST TO HIM AND ALSO HAPPENS TO BE IN THE AUDIENCE THIS AFTERNOON STIL
