CD B. G. LOAN FROM THE CITY. >>> ALL RIGHTY.

COMMISSIONER JOHNSON. >>> THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR.

COMMISSIONER AND FELLOW COMMISSIONER, I PULLED THIS ITEM, WE -- THIS ITEM WAS ACTUALLY I READ BACKGROUND, IT WAS VERY EXCITE AND TYPICALLY IN CONSENT AGENDA WE USUALLY MAKE A MOTION TO PASS, BUT I WANT TO HAVE HAD A LITTLE FURTHER COMMENT AND SOME CLARIFICATION ON A COUPLE THINGS I READ AND I THINK THIS WILL BE VERY INFORMATIVE FOR THE PUBLIC, SIMPLY BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN A PROP ETCH APPROACHED BY MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, SENIORS PEOPLE ON REAL FIXED INCOMES AND THIS SEEMED TO BE A SOLUTION. SO I JUST DIDN'T WANT THIS TO GO BY IN A BE COSENT AGENDA, WITHOUT HAVING A FEW QUESTIONS AXED AND SO I WOULD LIKE FOR STAFF AND THE APPLICANT, IF POSSIBLE, TO COME TO MAYBE ADDRESS A FEW QUESTIONS IF I

MAY? >>> OKAY.

MR. MIMS WHOSE STAFF FOR THIS? >>> WE HAVE, THERE ARE SEVERAL MEMBERS OF STA THAT ARE INVOLVED WITH THIS PARTICULAR INITIATIVE, BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT MR. WILSON, SEAN WILSON WHO WAS JUST IN FRONT OF YOU CAN GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW OF THE ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT. WE HAVE MEMBERS HERE FROM FINANCE AND ALSO GRANTS ADMINISTRATION TO TALK ABOUT FUNDING MECHANISM AND HOW THAT WORKS, AND WE ALSO HAVE OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MANAGER TO TALK ABOUT JUST THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PIECE OF THIS POTENTIAL.

>>> ALL RIGHTY. MR. WILSON, NORMALLY WE DON'T HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT, LIKE, QUITE LIKE THIS, BUT COMMISSIONER JOHNSON HAS QUESTIONS AN WE ALL NEED TO LEARN SOME GUY ANTIDEPRESSANT 1/2 THENESS THANK YOU FOR THIS AND YOU ALLUDED TO THE POINT TALKING ABOUT PROJECT ON MCNEIL ROAD, ABOUT WAL-MART AND THAT COMING TO A GREAT CONCLUSION HERE PRETTY SOON.

WHEN I SAW THIS AND WHAT YOU LOOKING TO BRING TO THE AREA, WHEN I READ BACKGROUND, AND THE QUALIFIERS AND I WANTED TO UNDERSTAND BECAUSE THAT SA SLIDING SCALE AND 64 RESIDENT UNIT YOU ARE PUTTING IN, CORRECT.

>>> 68. >>> 6, SORRY, THERE WERE CERTAIN PERCENTAGES ALLOCATED BASED UPON INCOME LEVELS, E WANT TO HAVE HAD A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF THAT AND WILL ALLOW YOU TO ALLUDE TO THAT, SPECIFICALLY 15% OF THE 68 UNITS WE HAD A CERTAIN INCOME LEVEL, A. M. I. OF THE 3 IS A. M. I. LEVEL.

>>> CORRECT. >>> CAN YOU TELL ME MORE ABOUT THE A. M. I. LEVELS AND WHAT DOES THAT REALLY MEAN AS FAR AS QUALIFIERS IF THERE WAS TYPE OF PROPERTY IF YOU CAN.

>>> SURE. SO, THERE IS 15% OF THE UNITS ARE FOR HOUSEHOLDS AT OR BELOW 30% A. M. I., AND I DO NOT -- I APOLOGIZE, I DO NOT HAVE THOSE FIGURE, THE EXACT FIGURES FOR SAINT LUCIE COUNTY HERE, WITH THAT INCOME LEVEL IS.

MOST OF THE UNITS ARE FORF 0% A. M. I., AND THEN WILL IS ANOTHER SMALL PERCENTAGE FOR HOUSEHOLDS AT OR BELOW 80% A. M. I., AND SO, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN ON AN INCOME LEVEL AGAIN I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT FIGURES FOR SAINT LUCIE COUNTY, BUT USUALLY WE SERVE A FAMILIES OR SENIORS WHOSE INCOME IS ANYWHERE FROM 20 TO ABOUT 45,000 A YEAR. AND THE RENT IS HELD AT A LEVEL THAT IS A AFFORDABLE FOR HA HOUSEHOLD AT THAT INCOME, SO,

[00:10:01]

YOU KNOW, 800 OR 1,000 SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

>>> OKAY. OKAY.

>>> AND THEN, I'M SORRY, THE VERY LOWEST GROUP, THAT 30% A.

M. I., THOSE RENTS ARE GOING TO BE MUCH LOWER.

>>> OKAY. BALLPARK?

>>> 500. >>> OKAY.

AND THE REASON I WANTED TO POSE THIS, MADAM, THAT IS IMPORTANT IN THIS COMMUNITY BECAUSE I'M GETTING THESE CALLS AND CONCERNS ESPECIALLY OUR RESIDENTS THAT ARE SENIORS AND RETIRE AND LIVING ON A FIXED INCOME AND LOOKING FOR HOUSING AN SO JUST OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD, YOU SAID THE MAJORITY OF THAT, I

THINK YOU SAID 60% OF THAT. >>> 06.

60% OF 68 IS ABOUT, WHAT, HOW MANY UNITS IS THAT

APPROXIMATELY? >>> IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD? I CAN DO THE MATH MYSELF BUT IF YOU DON'T KNOW, ABOUT 34 OR 35?

>>> THAT IS 50%. >>> 34 WOULD BE HALF OF THE

UNITS. >>> THAT WOULD BE HALF, THAT

WOULD BE 50%. >>> OKAY.

IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR ME TO PULL THIS, NOT TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT BUT THERE ARE PEOPLE LISTENING TO THIS MEETING THAT I WANTED TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HELM THEM UNDERSTAND THAT THIS GOVERNMENT, CITY GOVERNMENT, IS RESPONSIVE TO THE NEEDS AND CONCERNS THAT WE ARE HEARING FROM PEOPLE ON THIS COMMUNITY ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR SENIORS AND LOWER INCOME AND I KNOW WE HAD A CONVERSATION BEFORE AND I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE THIS ON THE AGENDA, WHICH IS WHY I READ THE BACKGROUND AND I WANTED TO AT LEAST GET THIS POINT TO HIGHLIGHT WHAT THIS IS AND THE INVESTMENT THE CITY IS MAKING WITH CD G.B. DOLLARS TO

BRING THIS TO THE COMMUNITY. >>> TO BE COMMENDED, SIR.

THANK YOU. >>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

THANK YOU, MR. -- >>> I HAVE A FEW.

>>> COMMISSIONER BROAD RICK? >>> I HAVE A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE, THAN COMMISSIONER JOHNSON HAS, IT IS IN THE SAME THEME THOUGH, IS THAT OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS THE CITY HAS APPROVED APPROXIMATELY 7 MILLION SQUARE FEET OF INDUSTRIAL SPACE OUT OF THE 95 TURNPIKE CORRIDOR, IF WE ARE NOT IN A POSITION TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE WORKERS TO SUPPORT THAT INDUSTRIAL SPACE IT IS GOING TO LAY FALLOW. SO, WHAT IS THE DIRECT LINKAGE BETWEEN BEING ABLE TO GET EMPLOYMENT BASE TO BE EMPLOYED BY THE COMPANIES? THESE WILL BE NATIONAL COMPANIES BY THE WAY COMING INTO RESIDE IN THESE SPACES, THIS IS NOT A LOCAL OPERATIONS, THESE ARE LARGE DISTRIBUTION CENTERS, COMING IN TO LOOK TO SET UP SHOT TO SERVE SOUTHERN FLORIDA, THE WEST COAST, AND IF WE CAN'T PROVIDE THE WORK FORCE, WE RUN INTO AN IMMEDIATE JUGGERNAUT. THIS TYPE OF PROJECT ACTUALLY TEES UP THE ABILITY, AT LEAST ON A SMALLER SCALE, THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE HOUSING FOR WORKERS, THAT CAN BE WORKING IN THAT GENERAL I HAVE SINTY, AND PERSONALLY, I APPLAUD YOU FOR THE PROJECT FIRST OFF, BUT SECOND DARRYL, THIS TYPE OF NEED I THINK IS A FAIRLY UNDERLYING BASIC NEED AT THE CITY NEEDS TO CONFRONT NOW. WE HAVE SEVEN MILLIAN SQUARE FEET OF SPACE BEING BUILT WITH FOR LEASE SIGNS OUT THERE, SEARCHING FOR TENANTS. ONCE A TENANT COMES IN, THE FIST THING THEY WILL ASK IS THERE AN EMPLOYMENT BASE? THIS IS A GREAT START FOR THAT, PLANNING DEPARTMENT I KNOW, I DON'T SEE KEVIN HERE BUT I KNOW THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT IS ACTUALLY INVESTIGATING THIS FURTHER, SO THERE WILL BE MORE INFORMATION FORT COMING BUT IT IS AN ABSOLUTE NEED AND I HOPE

WE SEE MORE OF IT. >>> GREAT.

GREAT. COULDN'T SAY IT BETTER THAN YOU, RIGHT? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT.

SO IS THERE A MOTION? WITH THAT I MOVE WE APPROVE THE

ITEM BE OF THE CONSENT AGENDA. >>> SECOND.

>>> THERE IS MOTION TO SECOND, CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE.

>>> COMMISSIONER BROAD RICK, YES, COMMISSIONER GAYNES, YES, MA'AM, COMMISSIONER C. JOHNSON, YES, MA'AM, COMMISSIONER J.

JOHNSON, YES, MA'AM, MAJOR HUDSON.

SO, MAD MA'AM MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COMMISSIONER, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING US AGAIN I'M HERE, PART OF THE ADVISORY BOARD OF THE SYNERGY SCHOOL OF TOMORROW, AS WELL AS DR. DONNELLAN CURRY THE CEO AND PRESIDENT OF SYNERGY SO WE ARE JUST EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO SHARE WITH YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING AT SYNERGY AND THE PLANS AND HOW IMPACTING COMMUNITY, SO, ESTABLISHING 2000, WE ARE PROUD TO BE A NATIONAL ACCREDITED AND INTERNATIONAL PRAY SCOOT SCHOOL PROVIDING PRESCHOOLERS, KINDERGARTNERS THROUGH 12TH GRADE, UNIQUE BLEND OF TRADITIONAL EDUCATION AND MODERN TECHNIQUES.

OUR MISSION IS TO RAISE UP YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE LEADERS IN THEIR CHOSE BE PROFESSION TO MAKE AN IMPACT ON THE CITY, STATE, AND THE NATION, STEP UP FOR STUDENTS I'M POURS PARENTS TO PURSUE A ENGAGEMENT IN THE APPROPRIATE LEARNING OPTIONS WITH AN EMPHASIS ON FAMILIES WHO LACK THE INFORMATION AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO ACCESS THESE OPTIONS.

SINCE 2001, WHEN FLORIDA LAWMAKERS APPROVED THE FLORIDA TAX SCHOLARSHIP, S. V.A. HAS BEEN ABLE TO UTILIZE THESE AMAZING PROGRAM, THIS PROGRAM HELPS LOW INCOME AND AT RISK FAMILIES TO BE ABLE TO RECEIVE A PRIVATE SCHOOL EDUCATION FOR THAT ARE CHILDREN AND AS OF 2022, ABOUT 59% OF OUR STUDENTS ARE ENROLLED IN THE SCHOOL, RECEIVE THIS SCHOLARSHIP.

WHICH ALLOCATES ABOUT AN AVERAGE OF 7,000 PER STUDENT, THE STUDENTS AT S. V.A. HAVE ASKED US ACCESS TO DUAL ENROLL L, VOCATIONAL, ATHLETICS, FINE ART, STEAM EDUCATION, AVENUE CARE, FREE BUSING, FREE BREAKFAST AND LUNCH, WE ARE TRULY REPAIRING THE TUNES FOR TOMORROW'S FUTURE. SO THE SLIDE BEFORE YOU SHOWS OUR ELEMENTARY CAMPUS, S. CV HAS JUST UNDER 900 STUDENTS ENROLLED ACROSS THE CAMPUSES, THIS CAP PUS IS MADEF OF TWO PARCELS THAT HAVE A COMBINED SQUARE FOOTAGE OF 30,000 SQUARE FOOT AND 17.5-ACRES, THE NEXT SLIDE SHOW IS CURRENT HIGH SCHOOL AND MIDLANDS SCHOOL CAMPUS THAT CONSIST OF 95,000 SQUARE FOOT WITH ABOUT 4.33-ACRE, IT HOUSES OUR CONSTRUCTION TRADE LAB, VOCATIONAL CLASSROOM, AND ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES WITH THE ISSUANCE OF THE NEW BONDS AND IN ASCWITION OF PROPOSED PROPERTIES THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE ARE LOCATION OF THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL AND VOCATIONAL LABS TO GROW, I WANT TO STOP FOR A MOMENT AND THANK YOU FOR THE COMMISSION FOR THE APPROVAL IN 2019 OF THE HEARING THAT ALLOWED US TO PURCHASE THE VIRGINIA COLLEGE BUILDING, AND CREATE SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM THAT IT IS TODAY. CURRENTLY THERE IS 8 MAJOR VOCATIONAL PROGRAM, CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY, AND CINEMA ARTS AN FILM PRODUCTION, E-SPORTS AND GAME DESIGN, DIGITAL ART, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, COSMETOLOGY, CULINARY ART, AND CHILD CARE DEVELOPMENT. OUR CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY IS ACCREDITED THROUGH NATIONAL CENTER FOR CONSTRUCTION EDUCATION AND RESEARCH. THIS. CC E. R., COVERS MASONRY, CARPENTRY, PLUM, ELECTRICAL AND HVAC, YOU CAN SEE A FEW PICTURES OF OUR KIDS BEING ABLE TO WORK HANDS ON LEARNING THESE VARIOUS

[00:20:04]

TRADES. THIS SLIDE SHOW IS ONE OF THE STUDENTS THAT ACTUALLY, WHEN HE GRADUATED, HE BECAME SH HAD CERTAIN CREDENTIALS AND WE HAVE A PRE APPRENTICESHIP FOR THEIR CHOSEN FIELD OF STUDY. ADDITIONALLY, S. C. A. PARTNERED WITH THE FLORIDA TRAINING SERVICES, INC. AND WHAT THAT IS, IS ADULT EDUCATION, POST SECONDARY EDUCATION FOR A FOUR YEAR APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM AND THEY HOUSE INSIDE OF OUR LOCATION, WHERE STUDENTS CAN LEAVE FOR NO COST, A FOUR-YEAR APPRENTICESHIP, A PERSON CAN BE A PLUMBER OR ELECTRICIAN AND HAWAIIVAC TECH, ALL THE THINGS ARE NEEDED FOR, YOU KNOW, LOCAL ECONOMY. THE CINEMA ARTS AND FILM PRODUCTION ALLOWS STUDENTS TO HAVE ACCESS TO STATE OF THE ART VIDEO AND SOUND STUDIO, WHERE THEY GET A CHANCE TO DIRECT, RECORD, MIX, MASTER, OR EVEN STAR IN A FILM OR A MUSIC PROJECT. OUR E-SPORTS LAB AND GAME DESIGN ALLOWS THE STUDENTS TO NOT ONLY COMPETE IN THE E-SPORTS AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT E. SPORTS BUT IT IS TREMENDOUS, IT IS THE GROWTH OF IT IS ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, MORE PEOPLE VIEWING E. SPORTS THAN VIEWING THE SUPERBOWL.

IT IS CRAZY. IT IS A MULTIBILLION DOLLARS INDUSTRY, BUT IT IS MUCH MORE THAN JUST PLAYING GAMES.

SO THESE KIDS GET A CHANCE TO LEARN ABOUT MARKET, BRANDING THEMSELVES, PLANNING EVENT, LEARNING ABOUT FINANCE, AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP, YOU SEE MANY PEOPLE JUST GOING FROM NOTHING, YOU KNOW, ON YOUTUBE OR TWITCH OR STRETCHING AND LEARNING HO YOU TO REPRESENT OR KIND OF BRAND THEMSELVES AND THEY BECOME ENTREPRENEURS IT AMAZING. OUR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ALLOWS FOR BASIC COMPUTER REPAIR, CODING AND CERT IF I CAT PREPARATION. OUR COSMETOLOGY ALLOWS STUDENTS TO LEARN THE BASICS AROUND HAIR, NAILS AND BARBER, ONE OF THE, I THINK FAVORITES IS BRAIDING, AN WE HAVE GOT SOME STUDENTS THAT ARE OUT OUT GOING BRAIDING HAIR AND MAKING MONEY, IT AMAZING WHAT A STUDENT CAN LEAVE AND THEY KIND OF CREATE THEIR OWN BUSINESS AND HELP SUPPORT THEIR FAMILIES.

OUR CULINARY ARTS PROGRAM ALLOWS STUDENTS TO WORK IN A COMMERCIAL KITCHEN AND ACQUIRE SAVE SERVE CERTIFICATION AND SAFE HANDLER CREDENTIALS. THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE PROPOSED LOCATION OF OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL, LOCATED AT 500 TENNER ROAD.

THIS WILL BE ADDING 42,000 SQUARE FOOT AND ABOUT 13.8-ACRES TO OUR PORTFOLIO. THIS PROPOSED LOCATION WILL ALLOW SYNERGY VOCATIONAL ACADEMY TUNES TOF A K SAYS TO A TO TALL OF 157,000 SQUARE FOOT AND ABOUT 35-ACRES OF CAMPUSES WITHIN FORT PIERCE. IT. SYNERGY IS NOT JUST FOR STUDENTS. BY IT FOR THE COMMUNITY.

WE RECOGNIZE THERE IS A MAJOR ISSUE, WITH FEEDING YOUNG STUDENTS AND CHILDREN THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND THROUGH THE SUMMER.

WE CURRENTLY DISTRIBUTE ABOUT 40,000 MEALS A MONTH, THROUGH OUR FREE MEALS FOR THE STUDENTS THERE AND OTHER VARUS THINGS, WE ARE LAUNCHING A NEW PROGRAM ON THE LAST SATURDAY, SORRY, LAST SATURDAY WE DID THAT, THIS NEW PROGRAM IS WHERE KIDS EAT FREE EVERY DAY, FROM 4:50 TO 5:50, AND WEEKENDS FROM 11 TO 12:00, WHERE STUDENTS UNDER 18 CAN COME AND GRAB A MEAL AND SO IT IS AMAZING PROGRAM, I'M SUPER EXCITED TO BE PART OF THAT AND THIS VISION. SO THROUGH OUR APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM WE HAVE EMPLOYED OVER 30 STUDENTS AND OVERLAST THREE YEARS WE HAVE HIRED 10 ALUMNI, AND WE ARE TRULY PREPARING TODAY'S STUDENTS FOR TOMORROW'S FUTURE.

AND SO, WITH THAT, WE ARE ASKING FOR YOUR APPROVAL FOR THE HEARING TO COMPLETE THE BOND ISSUE TO COMPLETE THE TENNER ROAD SITE AND 52 OLEANDER SITE AGAIN PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THESE BONDS WILL BE ISSUED TO PAY THE PURCHASE COST OF THE FACILITY, AND AT THE BONDS ARE NOT A FINANCIAL ORBLIGATION TO CITY OF FORT PIERCE, SAIFNT LUCY COUNTY AND FLORIDA, REPAYMENT IS BASED SOLELY ON THE RESOURCES AND PLEDGES AND THE S. V.A.

>>> >>>

>>> IT IS WONDERFUL TO KNOW THE FACILITY HERE AND SO GLAD YOU MADE THIS PRESENTATION, I HAVE BEEN FORCLUE GNAT TO BE ABLE TO VISIT SO I KIND OF KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING, BUT I THINK MAYBE A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW, SO I THIS THIS IS, I'M SO GLAD YOU SUCCESSFUL, AND WHAT WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOU CAN'T ZOOS EDUCATIONAL IS EVERYONE IS STRESSING NOW AND EMPHASIZING AND SO, I JUST THINK IT IS, I'M GLAD YOU ARE IN FORT PIERCE AND I AM GLAD WE APPROVED THAT IN -- I REMEMBER WHEN WE IN 2019. YES.

ANYBODY ELSE? ANY QUESTIONS?

YES, SIR? >>> THE FAMILIES IN FORT PIERCE

[00:25:04]

WHO MIGHT HAVE A CHILD THAT MIGHT BE INTERESTED OR WANTS TO JOIN YOUR PROGRAM, HOW, HOW DOES THAT WORK? DO THEY, IS IT AN APPLICATION ONLINE? DO THEY GO ONLINE? DO THEY COME TO ONE OF THE CENTERS? IF THEY ARE LISTENING, HOW CAN THEY, IF THEY WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM, OR YOUR SCHOOL, HOW COULD THEY GET --

>>> >>>

>>> THEY CAN GO ON-LINE AND THEY CAN APPLY AND GET A TOUR, OUR PROBLEM IS THAT WE ARE FULL, AND WE HAVE CREATED WHAT IS CALLED THE WAIT LIST BUT WITH THE STEPUP FOR STUDENTS, YOU CAN'T RALLY HAVE A WAIT LIST IT IS USE IT OR LOSE IT VOUCH, IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL THE PEOPLE STAY WHERE YOU ARE UNTIL WE CAN CREATE THIS SPACE, SO, BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY SO MANY VOUCHERS THEY ARE GIVING OUT. SO WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO OPEN THAT UP TO MORE STUDENTS, AND THIS IS THE WAY WE CAN DO IT, THROUGH ACQUIRING THE IRA BUILDING FROM IRS C. AND WE OPEN THAT UP. OUR PLAN IS TO MOVE OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL, FROM, WELL, YOU GUYS KNOW IT VIRGINIA COLLEGE FROM SYNERGY, OVER TO TENNER AND THAT OPENS UP THE OTHER HALF FOR HIGH SCHOOL TO GROW, SO WE CAN ALL GROW OUR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WHICH IS THE VOCATION. WE RECOGNIZE THOUGH THAT WE HAVE TO START PROFILING WITH CHILDREN ARE ABOUT 11-12 YEARS OLD, BECAUSE WE HAVE TO GET ON THE CUTTING EDGE, RIGHT, WE HAVE TO GET UP ON IT. SO WE WANT TO DO THOSE SAME VOCATION TRACKS FOR OUR TENNER ROAD PROGRAM SO THAT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL CAN ALSO BEGIN TO DO THE VOCATION TRACKS AND GROW THE MIDDLE SCHOOL, SO BOTH PLACES CAN GROW.

>>> OKAY. SO, YOU ANSWERED MANY I QUESTION. YE?

>>> COMMISSIONER JOHNSON,. >>> I APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION AND THERE SA LOT OF GOOD INFORMATION RIGHT HERE AND A LOT OF GOOD OPPORTUNITY. SO, TALK TO ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE EXPANSION AND TENNER ROAD.

HOW DID THAT COME ABOUT AND, YOU KNOW, THAT CAMPUS HAS A LOT OF HISTORY, BEING FORMER INDIAN ACADEMY, IRA AND LOT OF FAMILIES AND FROM FORT PIERCE HAVE A LOT OF HISTORY THERE, SO TELL US

ABOUT THE SITE ITSELF. >>> THE SITE IS BEAUTIFUL.

I THINK IT IS ACTUALLY 15-ACRES IT IS JUST TIRED, IT NEEDS A FACELIFT. AND IT HAS GREAT, GREAT POTENTIAL, THERE IS A GYMNASIUM THERE THAT A FULL-SIZED BASKETBALL COURT AND LOCKER ROOMS WE CAN OPEN UP SO THE DINNER PROGRAM, THE LUNCH PROGRAM, WE CALL IT EAT LEARN AND PLAY, BECAUSE WE DON'T JUST HAVE THE FOOD, WE HAVE TUTORING, AND WE ALSO WANT TO PROVIDE TO THE COMMUNITY, THIS IS NOT JUST TO OUR KID, THESE ARE KIDS 0-18, AN ALSO WE CAN EXPAND THAT SAME PROGRAM WITH THE GYM, EAT LEARN AND PLAY, TUTORING PLAYING, AND BRINGING KIDS OUT FROM THE COMMUNITY, HAVING BLOCK PARTIES AND VITING NEIGHBORS TO COME AND JUST HAVE A SAFE PLACE BECAUSE OF THE BEAUTIFUL PROPERTY THAT IS THERE.

THE CLASSROOMS ARE TURNKEY, THEY HAVE V. VCRS, SO WE NEED TO UPE THEM AND MODERNIZE O HOW THEY LOOK SO THE KIDS FEEL LIKE THEY ARE IN HA HIGH TECH SYNERGY, THE SYNERGY WAY, RIGHT? WE WANT THEM TO FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE ALL THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT VAVA COLLEGE HAS THE NICE SHINY THING SO, WE WILL MODERNIZE IT AND I'M VERY EXCITED. IT HAS FIELDS, IT HAS A TRACK, SO WE CAN REALLY EXPAND OUR SPORTS PROGRAM, TOO.

I'M NOT SURE IF THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION.

>>> IT DOES. AND THE -- WHO HAS IT NOW, THE

COLLEGE. >>> THE COLLEGE OWNS IT BUT YOU HAVE A FOUNDATION YOU HAVE TO WORK THROUGH.

>>> OKAY. SO PART OF THAT IS JUST THE FOOTPRINT OF THE BUILDING YOU TALKED ABOUT THAT, YOU ALLUDED TO ALMOST MOVE IN READY OR TURNKEY OUTSIDE TECHNOLOGY OF COURSE BUT JUST LOOKING TAT FOOTPRINT AND YOU TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE EXPANSION OPPORTUNITIES OVER TIME, SO US BEING A POLICYMAKER, LEGISLATIVE BODY, LOOKING AT OUR CITY AND HOW WE ARE GOING TO GROW AND DEVELOP IN CERTAIN CORRIDORS WITHIN THE CITY, IS THIS BEING CONNECTED TO JENKINS ROAD, WHAT KIND OF EXPANSION ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? I KNOW I'M GETTING A LITTLE BIT INTO THE NITTY-GRITTY, I DON'T WANT TO INTO THE SITE PLAN BUT I WANT TO HEAR HOW IT RELATES TO COMMUNITY AND WHAT OUR VISIONS ARE FOR THE NEXT 2-9 YEARS OF

STRATEGIC PLANNING? >>> PLANNING ABOUT 300 STUDENTS TO BE THERE AND ADD JAY -- JASON IS ASKING, HE WANTS TO EXPLAIN THE BUS STOP SCENARIO, YOU WANT TO.

>>> I DON'T THINK THAT IS WHAT HE IS ASKING.

YOU WANT TO SEE THE VISION? >>> I JUST WANT TO HEAR THE VISION, LIKE SO RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A CERTAIN SIZE BUILDING? YOU TALKED ABOUT EXPANSION SO ARE YOU EXPANDING WITHEN THE FOOTPRINT OR ARE WE TALKING A LITTLE BIT OF EXPANSION.

>>> THERE PLENTY OF ROOM BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A BIGMIDE L SCHOOL RIGHT NOW SO WE WILL MOVE THE EXISTING MIDDLE SCHOOL AND ADD A COUPLE CLASS, SO YES THERE IS AN EXPANSION THERE.

SO WE ARE DOING A COUPLE THINGS IN HAN TANDEM, ONE, IN THE PROCESS OF CONDITIONAL USE WITH T. R. C., APPLYING FOR TRADITIONAL USE, NO NEW CONSTRUCTION.

A THE THE MOMENT, COMMISSIONER. SO, THE IDEA IS GET STUDENTS INTO THAT SITE, THE PARCEL THAT IS TO THE NORTH THERE, THAT IS,

[00:30:03]

I THINK IS THE FIVE ACRES NORTH, THAT CAN BE REPURPOSED FROM MANY VIR USE THING, SOME THINGS WE ARE REALLY LOOKING AT, IS SOME OF THE THINGS THAT OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING, PAUSE ONE OF THE ISSUES GETTING TEACHERS IS VERY CHALLENGING, AND HOWING THEM IS ANOTHER. YOU MAY EVEN BE ABLE TO SEE FOR THOSE PURPOSES BUT NOT AT THE MOMENT, YOU KNOW, THAT WHEN WE COME HERE WE ARE LOOKING FOR JUST, TO K A SAYS TO BUILDING THE WAY IT IS. TO GET IN AND GET THE STUDENTS BECAUSE THAT IS THE IMMEDIATE ISSUE THEY NEED MORE SPACE, THAT ALLOWS TO ACCOMMODATE. DOES THAT ANSWER THE QUESTION.

>>> IT DOES, ABSOLUTELY DOES. JUST LOOKING AT THE FOOTPRINT OF THE CAMPUS, JUST MAKING SURE SITCOM PATIBLE WITH A SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD AND YOUR VISION TAKING THAT INTO ACCOUNT, THERE THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING AND FOLKS GET TO COME UP SO FIGURED TO LAY THAT OUT THERE AND, YOU KNOW, THERE MIGHT BE SOME QUESTIONS, I DON'T KNOW THERE ARE, BUT I FIGURED I WOULD ASK, BECAUSE I HAD A COUPLE THE ANOTHER THOUGHT, IF THE PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WE WHERE TENNER ROAD IS BEHIND HOME DEPOT AND JUST ACROSS THE STREET FROM SAMUEL GAYNES, SO, THERE IS ALREADY A

VIBE FOR WHAT WE ARE DOING. >>> THERE IS.

OKAY. >>> THANK YOU.

F UH-HMM. ANYBODY ELSE?

>>> ONE QUICK QUESTION. >>> IT IS NOT DIRECTLY ON TOPIC BUT YOU RAISED THE ISSUE UKRAINE ARE A T. R. C. NOW, AND YOU REQUIRE CONDITIONAL USE, WHAT IS TRIGGERING NEED FOR CONDITIONAL USE IF YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW? (^).

>>> THE REASON I'M ASKING IS I WOULD BE MORE INTERESTED IN SEEING SOMETHING LIKE THIS FAST TRACKED, CONDITIONAL USE IS GOING TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH

SEVERAL MORE MEETINGS. >>> WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT.

THE CHALLENGE IS, WITH MUNICIPAL CODE, YOU HAVE COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITIES, AS ONE USE, AND THEN YOU HAVE ELEMENTARY MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL, AS ANOTHER USE. AND SO, THAT IS WHY THE CONDITIONAL USE HAS BEEN TRIGGERED.

ANOTHER PIECE THAT CAN COMPLICATE IT IS THAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE USAGE OF THE BUILDING, TOO? IT HAS BEEN USED FOR -- IT WAS ORIGINALLY 1992 BUILD FOR EDUCATION. HAND DOWN IT WAS FOR IRA AND THEN I. R. C. AND USED IT FOR VARIOUS REASON, ALL EDUCATION BASED UNUNTIL FOUR MONTHS AGO UNTIL THEY LISTED THE PROPERTY, IT HAS OPINION USED FOR TEACHING CLASSROOMS, BUT BECAUSE OF THE USE, I NECESSARY THE AGE OF THE STUDENTS, THEREFORE, ITS USE, BUT, WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR THE COMMISSION, ANY ABILITY THAT HELP US US WITH TIME, YOU KNOW, THE WHOLE IDEA IS US MOVING THIS TO MARKET FASTER, TO GET STUDENTS IN QUICKER, WE GOT THAT WAIT LIST BUT NOW, GOING THROUGH THOSE PROCESSES IS GOING TO TAKE MANY MONTHS, JUST TO GET THROUGH THE PROCESS.

>>> I SPECULATE PROBABLY 90 DAYS, 120 DAYS?

>>> I BELIEVE SO. YOU KNOW, NOW WE ARE GOING INTO THE HOLIDAYS IT MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT.

>>> IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO HELP? I WAS CURIOUS IT IS A LEARNING INSTITUTION PREVIOUSLY BUT YOU SAY SOME TYPE OF PROBATION BASED ON THE AGE REQUIREMENTS, I GET

IT. >>> I ACTUALLY THINK IT IS A DIFFERENT, LITTLE TWIST. WE WERE GOING FOR ORIGINALLY INTENT, IT WAS EDUCATIONAL, BUILT FOR EDUCATION.

BUT BECAUSE THEY, SOMEBODY ALONG THE LINE CHANGED IT TO INDUSTRIAL, SO WE WERE SAYING OKAY WITH CAN WE GO BACK TO ORIGINAL INTENTION, IT IS BUILT FOR EDUCATION, IT IS, YOU KNOW, IT SHOULD BE AN E, IT WAS ALWAYS AN E. --

>>> >>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY THIS. IS THE PUBLIC HEAR, ANYONE WISHING TO ADDRESS THIS

ISSUE PLEASE COME FORWARD? >>> SEEING NO ONE I WILL CLOSE THE HEARING AND ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

>>> THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

>>> VOTE TO APPROVE. >>> SECOND.

WITH THE BOYCE AN GIRLS CLUB. THANK YOU MUCH FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY, TO PRESENT ON BEHALF OF BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS, AND OUR APPRECIATION FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT IN SERVING THE MEMBERS ATTENDING TEEN CENTER WORK FORCE, PROGRAM THIS PAST SUMMER. THE THREE YEAR INVESTMENT YOU HAVE MADE IN THE LIVES OF THE P. R. C. P. TEAMS IS AN INVESTMENT THEY ARIC MAAING BACK TO THEIR COMMUNITY.

OVER THE SUMMER THE TEAMS PARTICIPATING IN THE WORK FORCE READINESS PROGRAM HAD OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN ABOUT HOW TO CREATE RESUME, WRITE COVER LETTER, PRACTICE INTERVIEWING, TEENS PARTICIPATED IN CAREER EXPLORATION, AND LEARNED ABOUT EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION AND TEAMWORK.

THEY ALSO LEARNED HOW TO PREPARE BUSINESS IDEA AND ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA PRESSURES AND AS A BUSINESS HOW TO UNDERSTAND SOCIAL MEDIA AWARENESS. BESIDE CLASSROOM EXPERIENCES TEENS HAD THE OPPORTUNITIES TO VISIT LOCAL COLLEGES AN BUSINESSES, FOR EXAMPLE, THEY VISITED THE PERSPECTIVE EMPLOYERS SUCH AS SAINT LUCIE FIRE DISTRICT, WHERE THEY LEARNED ABOUT THE KIND OF JOBS THEY MIGHT HAVE AND WHAT QUALIFYCATIONS ARE REQUIRED TO GET THOSE JOBS.

OUR STATE YOUTH WINNER MIA MORRISON WHO IS ALSO A PARTICIPANT IN THE WORK FORCE PROGRAM FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS AND WORKS IN OUR FINANCE DEPARTMENT FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS, HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN PEER-TO-PEER COACHING.

MIA CONDUCTED THE TRAINING ON CAREER EXPLORATION, COLLEGE READINESS, AND TAUGHT OTHER TEENS HOW TO APPLY FOR SCHOLARSHIPS. OUR WORK FORCE READINESS PROGRAM HELPED MEMBERS TO GROW THEIR TALENTS THROUGH ENTREPRENEURSHIP. THOSE WITH HIDDEN TALENTS IN MUSIC AND PODCASTING CONTINUED TO LEARN SKILLS AND BUILDING A BUSINESS, SUCH AS BRANDING, WRITING A BUSINESS PLAN, AND LEARNING ABOUT SMALL BUSINESS LOANS.

ADDITIONALLY, P. R. C. P. TEAMS HAVE LEARNED THAT BUSINESS INVOLVES GIVING BACK TO YOUR COMMUNITY AS PROFESSIONALS.

MEMBERS ARE ACTIVELY VOLUNTEERING WHERE THEY CAN HELP THEIR COMMUNITY. IN THE END, AND BECAUSE OF YOUR INVESTMENT IN OUR TEAMS MEMBERS EARNED STYE PENALTIES WILD LEARNING, WEEKLY. SOME LEARNED ABOUT INVESTING THEIR MONEY AND SAVING WHILE OTHERS PUT THE MONEY EARNED TOWARD HELPING FAMILY. MORE IMPORTANTLY, OUR GOAL IS TO NOT ONLY TEACH OUR YOUNG PEOPLE THE SKILLS AND BEHAVIORS THAT ARE ESSENTIAL FOR ANY JOB, BUT ALSO TO PROVIDE MENTORS WHO GUIDE TEENS TOWARD UNDERSTANDING THEIR EMOTIONS, MAKING SMART DECISIONS, AND FORMING POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS.

WE APPRECIATE THAT THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE RECOGNIZES OUR VISION FOR HELPING TO BUILD WORK FORCE READINESS SKILLS IN OUR TEENS AND LOOK FORWARD TO A CONTINUED PARTNERSHIP.

[c. POSTPONED FROM NOV. 7, 2022 Legislative Hearing - Ordinance No. 22-036 amending Chapter 34 - Article I and Chapter 34 - Article II establishing Parking Regulations. FIRST READING]

>>> ALL RIGHTY. >>> NEXT WE HAVE ORDINANCE 22-036 ORDINANCE AMENDED THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF FORT FIERCE FLORIDA, ARTICLE 1, TO REDUCE NUMBER OF RERESERVES SECS AND AMENDING CHAPTER 34, ARTICLE 2, PI DELETING SECTIONS 34-35, THRU 34-62, AND AMENDING CHAPTER 34 ARTICLE 2 BY TITLE, AND AMENDING CHAPTER 34 ARTICLE 2 BY ADDING SECTION 34-16 THRU 34-62, TO ESTABLISH PARKING REGULATIONS.

REPEALING ALL ORDINANCES OR PARTS THEREOF AND CONFLICT HERE WITH, PROVIDING FOR SEVERALLABILITY CLAUSE AND EFFECTIVE DATE THIS IS THE FIRST READING.

>>> MR. MIMS YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT THIS BEFORE PEGGY

STARTS? >>> NO, MA'AM.

WE WILL LET PEGGY TAKE THIS. >>> ALL RIGHTY.

MR. RAEZ? >>>

>>> GOOD EVEN, MADAM MAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS THIS IS THE FINAL VERSION OF THE NEW PARKING ORDINANCE, THIS DOES NOT HAVE PAID PARKING IN IT, THIS IS JUST AN UPDATED NEW PARKING ORDINANCE, TO ADDRESS OUR PARKING ISSUES THAT WE ARE DEALING WITH CURRENTLY. AND WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS IN A CONFERENCE AGENDAFY REMEMBER RIGHTLY.

>>> WE SURE DID. WE SURE DID.

AND COMMISSIONER BROADRICK, WHEN HE WAS CHAIRMAN BROAD RICK, HAS TOLD ME THIS IS I HAVE VETTING, HOWEVER,.

>>> NOT EXACTLY MY DESCRIPTION. >>> WHAT I WILL DO IS GO OVER THE HIGHLIGHTS OF SOME CHANGES THAT WE HAVE MADE.

SO, IF YOU SEE CHAPTER 34, ARTICLE 2 THE EXISTING ORDINANCE WE DELETED IT IN ITS ENTIRETY, AND IT WAS JUST AN OLDER ORDINANCE THAT NEEDED TO BE REWRITTEN AND ITS ENTIRETY SO WE DELETED THE ENTIRE ORDINANCE AND WE HAVE CREATED A BRAND NEW ONE.

SOME OF THE CHANGES THAT WE MADE HERE, IS TO ESTABLISH SOME TYPE OF PARKING PERMITS, SO, WHETHER IT IS A LOADING ZONE PARKING PERMIT, CONTRACTOR, PARKING PERMIT, WE DO ALLOW FOR SOME PARKING PERMITS TO BE USED IN THE PAID -- SORRY, IN THE TWO HOUR PARKING AREAS. SO, THERE WILL BE FEES FOR THE PERMITS IT PRESENTED AT THE SECOND READING.

FOR THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF FEES. SOME OF THE REGULATION, IMPROPER PARKING, THIS IS A NEW ORDI ORDINANCE, SO YOU CAN PARK IN THE LINES, YOU HAVE TO PARK ON THE LINES NOT SIDEWAYS ACROSS THE LINES. RESTRICTED PARKING IS THE BOAT TRAILER PARKING VERSUS VEHICLE PARKING, IT SAID YOU HAVE TO PARK IN THE SPACE DESIGNED FOR THE VEHICLE YOU ARE DRIVING SO IF YOU HAVE A TRUCK AB BOAT YOU HAVE TO PARK IN A SPACE THAT IS SPECIFIC FOR BOTH TRAILER PARKING THEF THAT WILL BE CLEAR

TO THE PERSON PARKING. >>> THEY ARE ALL MARKED.

OKAY. ALL MARKED, THAT'S CORRECT.

PARK, TIME LIMITED DOES NOT PUT ANY TYPE OF HOURS ON THERE, DOESN'T SAY TWO HOUR, THE COMMISSIONER CAN CHANGE THAT 20 THREE HOUR OR ONE HOUR, IT JUST SAID LIMITED PARK, TILE AND THEN PARKING PROHIBITED LIMITED WHEN SIGNS ARE REFLECTV RECOLLECTED OR PAVEMENT GIVING NOTE THEREAFTER.

SO AS NEW PARKING LOTS COME ON-LINE, WHATEVER RULES ARE ESTABLISHED THEY ARE GOING TO BE, AS LONG AS THE SIGNAGE IS THERE THAT IS WHAT THE RULE WILL BE, IT IS KIND OF A GENERIC PARKING YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THE RULES AS POSTED.

THAT IS WHAT THAT DEFINITION SAYS.

PARKING ON RIGHT OF WAY, AGAIN THAT, THIS WAS ACTUALLY ADOPTED BE I THE CITY COMMISSIONER, A SHORT TIME AGO, BUT WE HAVE NOW

[00:50:02]

INCLUDED THE TERM RIGHT OF WAY OR ENGINEERING THAT DESCRIBES IT WHICH SA REALLY LONG DEFINITION AND INCLUDE EVERYTHING INCLUDING TUNNELS WHICH I'M NOT SURE WE HAVE ANY.

WE MIGHT SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE. >>> SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE WE HAVE, SO WE JUST KIND OF CLARIFIED THIS MORE TO ESTABLISH A DEFINITION. PARKING TO FACE OPPOSING TRAFFIC IS NOW CLEARLY IDENTIFIED AS ITS OWN SEPARATE VIOLATION.

THEY ARE THE GENERAL ORDINANCES, CHANGES, SPACES DEDESIGNATED AS LOADING ZONES ARE COMMERCIAL VEHICLES OR A VEHICLE DISPLAYING A BUSINESS PARKING PERMIT, ONE OF THE PERMITS AVAILABLE TO I BEES BUT IN ANY CASE ALL THE LOADING ZONES WILL BE 30 MINUTE RESTRICTED TIME.

OKAY. YOU HAVE TO BE ACTIVELY LOADING

AND UNLOADING. >>> OTHER TIME, MADAM MAYOR, OTHER TIME PERIODS FOR THAT? NO, IT SEVEN DAYS A WEEK.

>>> OKAY, 24/7. >>> 4/7 WE DO APPLY THAT 24/7,

YES. >>> PARDON?

PARDON? >>> ARE THE DESIGN, THEY HAVE AN EXEMPTION ON IT? WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT.

BECAUSE I'M NOT AWARE OF IT. BUT WE WILL LOOK AT THAT.

THE RULES ON THE SIGNS AS WELL, YES, IT IS A SIGNING SAYS THAT, YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW IT UNTIL YOU CHANGE IT.

RIGHT. RIGHT.

SATURDAYS AND SUNS THAT IS WHAT THE RULE IS, WITH WE HAVE TO FOLLOW THE RULES ON THE SIGNS POSTED ALSO.

>>> EXACTLY. >>> WE HAVE ADDED ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATION REGULATIONS, BECAUSE THAT IS THE NEW AND UPCOMING THING IS FOR THAT.

WE DID LIMIT IT TO FOUR HOURS. AND YOU KNOW HOPEFULLY THERE WILL BE MORE AND MORE SPACES AVAILABLE, BUT, THE REGULATION

IS FOR FOUR HOURS. >>> YOU KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING IN OUR GARAGE, ARE PEOPLE DOING FOUR HOURS, DO YOU KNOW? WITH WE HAVE NOT TIMED IT AT THIS POINT, I KNOW WITH THE EXPANSION OF THE SPACES, IT IS NOT AS BAD WHEN WE ONLY HAD THE ONE SPACE PEOPLE WERE LEAVING NOTES GOING ARE YOUTONE YET? SO, I KNOW THERE IS A NEED AND A WANT FOR TURN OVER OF THOSE SPOTS. SPECIAL EVENTS IS NEW.

WE HAVE ADDED THE SECTION AND BASICALLY IT SAID IF WE ARE LEASING AN AREA TO AN ORGANIZATION, THEN YOU CAN'T PARK THERE UNLESS THEY GIVE YOU PERMISSION.

WE HAVE HAD THAT DISCUSSION AT THE LAST MEETING.

ON STREET PARKING PERMITS BUSINESS PARKING PERMITS THESE ARE PERMITS YOU CAN OBTAIN THROUGH THE CITY MANAGER TO UTILIZE SPACES OUT SIDE OF WHAT IS POSTED.

SAME WITH THE CONTRACTOR OF PARKING PER MILT, IF YOU HAVE WORK DONE ON A I WOULD BEING, YOU CAN OBTAIN IT, A PARKING PERMIT UTILIZED SPACE, YOU KNOW IT IS GOOD FOR THE CONTRACTORS, THE HAVE EASY ACCESS TO VEHICLES.

MARINA PARKING PERMITS, WE WILL, ARE ALL THE SAME, EXCEPT THAT IF YOU WILL BE FOR MORE THAN TEN DAYS YOU HAVE TO PARK ON THE FOURTH OR FIFTH FLOOR OF THE CITY HALL PARKING GARAGE AND INFORMATION, THEY PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION.

PARKER PERMITS THIS AUTHORIZES THE CLERK OF COURT TO ISSUE PARKING PERMITS, WE ARE NOTTIC MAAING THEM DO IT, CHOICE, BUT THIS ORDINANCE DOES ALLOW FOR THEM TO DO IT AND THEN IF YOU ARE A JUROR YOU CAN GET A PARKING PER HIT TO YOU OUT OF THE TWO HOUR PARK GOING THAT IS WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO DO.

>>> THIS IS NOT A CHANGE, IT IS JUST HIGHLIGHTING FOR REVIEW, WHICH IS THAT ALL PARKING AND IT A $50 PARKING FINE AND GOES ALONG WITH OUR STANDARD CITATIONINGS, ALL CITATIONS ARE THE SAME, FIRST VIOLATION IS $50 AND THEN ESCALATES, AND UNLESS YOU ARE CITED FOR PARKING IN HAPPENED PARKING SPOT WHICH CASE IT IS $250 VIOLATION, OR IN A I FOO LANE $100 VIE VIOLATIONF THE THE TWO ITEMS ARE DIFFERENT, OTHER THAN THAT IT IS A STANDARD CITATION FINE. THIS IS NEW AND IN EXISTENCE IN SOME OF THE NEIGHBORING JURISDICTIONS, I KNOW VEERO BEACH HAS IT AND STEWART HAS IT AND THAT IS TO I'M MOBILIZE THE VEHICLE THROUGH A MENTAL CALL DEVICE IF UP YOU HAVE UNPAID TICKET, THERE ARE DIFFERENT ITEMS OUT THIS, YOU HAVE THE OLD BOOT AND NOW THEY HAVE A BARNACLE THAT GOES ON THE WINDYSHIELD SO THAT THERE IS DIFFERENT MECHANICAL DEVICES OUT THERE, IT IS ALREADY IN USE IN OUR NEIGHBORING JURISDICTIONS, BUT THIS IS NEW FOR US TO INCLUDE THAT IN OUR ENFORCEMENT

SECTION. >>> YOU DON'T HAVE ANY OF THOSE

DEVICES YET? >>> NOT YET.

I BELIEVE THAT WAS THE CHANGES. THAT WAS THE SUMMARY OF THE CHANGES. IN I QUESTIONS OF STAFF? ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF? OIC THIS IS PUBLIC HEARING ANYONE WISHING TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE PLEASE COME FORWARD? SEEING NO ONE I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ENTERTAIN

[00:55:01]

DISCUSSION OR MOTION? >>> I JUST ONE COMMAND, MADAM MAYOR, THE PARKING COMMITTEE WORKED WITH PEGGY EXTENSIVELY ON ALL THE REVISIONS IN HERE, AND PUT A LOT OF THOUGHT AND CONSIDERATION INTO THE VARIETY OF DIFFERENT ISSUES THIS PARTICULAR PACKAGE COVERS, AND I BELIEVE THAT IT IS TO BE QUITE COMPREHENSIVE, THE ONLY CHANGE WAS THE ELIMINATION OF THE PAID PARKING PORTION OF THIS, SO, THIS HAS BEEN VETTED BE I THAT COMMITTEE I BELIEVE I ACTUALLY REPORTED TO THE CITY COMMISSION ON THIS, SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, ALONG WITH PEGGY.

SO IT HAS UNANIMOUS SUPPORT FROM THE PARKING COMMUNITY TO MOVE FORWARD AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, AND ONE OF THE ISSUE YOUS THAT THIS IS GOING TO ELIMINATE IF YOU WRECKED THERE WAS A VEHICLE PARKED IN EDGARTOWN FOR MONTHS, A DISABLED VEHICLE AND SIMPLY THERE WAS NO ACTION THAT CAN BE TAKEN ON IT, AND REALLY A PROMULGATED THIS ENTIRE DISCUSSION TO MOVE IT FORWARD, SO I THINK IT IS VERY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO RESOLVE A VARIETY OF ISSUES ON THE PARKING FRONT, BUT I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION, PEGGY, AS FAR AS ENFORCEMENT GOES, WHAT IS, IS THIS A CODE OR POLICE ISSUE IN WHERE DOES IT FALL IN THAT, FROM ENFORCEMENT PERSPECTIVE? F O BONN BOTH, CODE ENFORCEMENT, ALL THE OFFICERS ARE ALSO PARKING ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS, AND SO, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND CODE ENFORCEMENT ARE BOTH

THE ENFORCEMENT ARM FOR THIS. >>> IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY ONE OF THE ISSUES COVERED IN HERE IS THE 24 HOUR PARKING OF CAMPERS IN PARKING LOTS. BECAUSE THIS SA PROBLEM OUT ON SOUTH BEACH AT THE SQUARE GROUP PARKING LOT WE HAVE, TURNING INTO A CAMPGROUND, OUT THERE AND I BELIEVE THERE IS A PROVISION IN HERE SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT CODE.

>>> THAT FALLS UNDER THE SIGNS. THE GENERAL RULE THAT SAID THE PARKING, WHATEVER RULES ARE POSTED, ARE THE RULES FOR THAT PARKING LOT. SO, THAT THAT IS -- THAT HAVE THEY WILL BE POSTING SIGNS OF NO OVERNIGHT PARKING OR WHATEVER.

>>> IF THERE SA SIGN THAT SAID NO OVERNIGHT PARKING THAT IS WHAT THE RULE IS, AND THAT IS THE ONE ORDINANCE THAT SAID WHATEVER THE POSTING, BECAUSE WE HAVE SO MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF PARKS AN SO MANY DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE CITY, THAT IT IS CHALLENGING TO TRY AND COVER EVERY SINGLE, YOU KNOW, EVERY SINGLE SITUATION, SO, WHEN YOU JUST HAVE WHAT THIS POSTINGS SAY IS WHAT THE RULES ARE FOR THAT LOCATION.

AND, THAT IS, SO THAT PARTICULAR SPOT WE CAN PUT UP THE SIGNS THAT SAY NO OVERNIGHT PARKING, AND THEN THAT IS WHAT THE RULE IS. I AS SUME IF IT PASSES, SECOND READING YOU WILL BE LOOKING FOR SOME HARDWARE TO ENFORCE THIS? YES, SIR. THERE WILL BE A BUDGET.

THAT IS CONTINUING TO BE AN ISSUE.

>>> SO THE ONLY COMMENT I WANT TO MAKE AND/OR QUESTION IS REGARDING BO E TRAILER OR MARINA TYPE PARKING OR APPLICATION, SO YOU MENTIONED THAT IT IS GOING TO BE DESIGNATED FOR THE VEHICLE, SPECIFICALLY, WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT A NUMBER OF TIMES OF THE HYBRID USE OF THE DIFFERENT BOAT RAMP PARKING LOTS, WHERE WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE NOT GOING TO BE BOATING EVENTS HOWEVER THERE ARE GOING TO BE EVENTS WHERE REGULAR VEHICLE OAR CARS WILL BE PARKING SO, THAT GOES BACK TO THE SIGNAGE, IF WE APPROPRIATE THE CORRECT SIGNAGE THEN WITH WE HAVE THE HYBRID APPROACH, CORRECT?

>>> WE ARE NOT CHANGING THAT? >>> YES.

SO, TO START WITH, IN SEVERAL OF OUR BOAT TRAILER PARKING LOTS WE HAVE CHANGED THE FORMAT OF THE PARKING, SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE BOAT TRAILER PARKING AND IT ACTUALLY HAS A DOTTED LINE HALFWAY THROUGH, AND THAT INDICATES IT CAN BE FOR CARS OR BOATS, SO, BOTH CAN USE IT. SO WE HAVE BEEN ADAPTING HOW THE ACTUAL PHYSICAL LOCATION AND IF YOU HAVE A BOAT, A LONG PARKING SPOT WITH THE DOTTED LINE TO THE MIDDLE, IT IS FOR BOTH.

WHICH BOTH CARS AND BOAT TRAILER CANS USE IT.

SO WE HAVE BEEN MAKING THOSE TYPE OF CHANGES AND OF COURSE IF THERE ARE SOME KIND OF SPECIAL EVENT WHERE THEY, LET'S SAY THEY LEASE J. C. PARK, THEN WE PUT UP SIGNS FOR THE TEMPORARY USE AN ADDRESS IT THAT WAY. SO, THERE ARE DIFFERENT WAYS WE CAN ADDRESS IT. BUT, WE ARE DEFINITELY MAKING PHYSICAL CHANGES TO SEVERAL OF OUR BOAT RAMPS TO ALLOW FOR BOTH

TYPES OF PARKING. >>> OKAY.

HOW ABOUT AT THE CROSS STREET FROM THE WEST SIDE OF THE DRIVE

AT THE MANATEE CENTER? >>> SO, THAT IS, THAT NOT PAVED PARKING IT IS A CITY LEASE PARCEL? I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE HYBRID APPROACH THERE, TOO, THAT IS THE COMMUNITY THAT WILL BE A TOUGH ONE BECAUSE THERE IS NO

DASH LINE OPPORTUNITY THERE,. >>> THAT UNDER CANNILY POSTED

NO TRAILERS. >>> IT IS, BUT THAT IS THE NO. 1 PARKING LOT THAT IS GETS COMPLAINING IS THAT ONE FROM THE

BOTH COMMUNITY. >>> CORRECT.

I BELIEVE PUBLIC WORKS IS ADD DREDGING THAT WITH MR. MIMS HOW THAT WILL BE, DESIGNED OR I KNOW THERE IS IMPROVEMENTS BEING MADE THERE, CURRENTLY IT IS POSTED NO TRAILERS.

>>> IT IS, NO. 1 PARKING LOT WITH NO. 1 COMPLAINT WITH --

[01:00:06]

MR. MIM, EXCUSE ME. MR. MIMES?

>>> I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THAT IS RIGHT ACROSS FROM THE MANATEE OR MOORES CREEK BOAT RAMP AND I UNDERSTAND BOAT, TRAILER PARKING IS IN HIGH DEMAND.

WE ARE DEFINITELY GOING TO LOOK AT THAT UNIMPROVED LOT OR THE GRASS MIXED ROCK OF TEMPORARY PARKING LOT, AND WE SHALL ACCOMMODATE A BOAT TRAILER VEHICLES, IN THAT AREA, AND WE WILL HAVE TO LOOK TAT TRUE CONFIGURATION TO ENSURE THAT WE DON'T CAUSE ANY TYPE OF, I GUESS, UNFOR SEEN SITUATION.

SO, WE WILL DEFINITELY MAKE THAT HAPPEN, WE HAVE BEEN TALK ABOUT

IT. >>> WE HAVE AND IT ONLY HAPPENS A COUPLE TIMES A YEAR THAN THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE TO BE MINDFUL OF. IT LITERAL HI HAPPENS A COUPLE M TIMES A YEAR, I CAN PREDICT WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

AND FOURTH OF JULY, NEW YEAR'S EVE, EVERYONE GOES IN THE BOAT AND GOES OUT DURING THE DAY, A LITTLE PARADE, RIGHT.

SO, THAT IS THE HYBRID APPROACH IN ADDITION TO THE SIGNAGES ALSO US THINKING STRATEGICALLY ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN OUR CITY, AND WE WILL BE INVITED EVERYONE TO COME DOWN HERE, AND WE DON'T

WANT ANY SOUR FACES. >>> ISN'T THAT THE ONE THAT CLOSED BECAUSE OF THE MANATEES THEF BOAT RAMP, YES, MA'AM.

>>> THE BOAT RAMP IS. >>> CORRECT.

YES. RIGHT.

SO, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE BOAT TRAILER PARKING THERE, IF THE BOAT RAMP WAS CLOSED IS THAT RIGHT? UNLESS THEY DECIDE THE WALK ALL THE WAY.

>>> RIGHT. RIGHT.

SO,. >>> MA'AM, ONE OF THE THINS THAT CAN BE OPEN FOR CONSIDERATION IS THAT PARKING LOT, WE JUST LEASED AN ADDITIONAL LOT OF LAND BEHIND IT. WE DOUBLED THE CAPACITY OF THE LOT, WE MAY BE ABLE THE LOOK AT SOMETHING OF DESIGNATING THE BACK PORTION OF THAT FOR BOAT AND THEN VEHICLE PARKING, AND ONE THING THAT WAS SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED IN THE NEW ORDINANCE AND THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS KICKED AROUND AT THE PARKING COMMITTEE LEVEL, CONSIDERABLY, WAS OUR V. R.V. PARKING, --

>>> >>> CREATE THIS CAMPING

ENVIRONMENT. >>> WHERE WOULD WE FIND IT

ANYWAY. >>> THE PROBLEM THAT THE COMMIT TEE THOUGHT WAS THAT THE LOT OF PEOPLE ARE DOING TOURIST THINGS IN R.V.S AN TO GIVE THEM THE CAPACITY TO BE ABLE TO PARK IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA, MAYBE, YOU KNOW A LITTLE BIT WAYS OUT, SO THEY CAN ENJOY I THE DOWNTOWN FACILITIES AND ETC., BUT, WE JUST THOUGHT WE WERE OPENING UP A PANDORA'S BOX, SO WE STAYED

AWAY FROM IT. >>> YES, YES.

SOUNDS WISE TO ME. SO READY FOR A MOTION?

>>> I WOULD MOTION TO APPROVE. >>> SECOND.

>>> THERE IS A MOTION AND SECOND.

CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE. >>> COMMISSIONER BROAD RICK, YES. COMMISSIONER GAYNES, YES, MA'AM.

COMMISSIONER C. JOHNSON, YES, MA'AM, COMMISSIONER J. JOHNSON, YES, MA'AM, MAYOR HUDSON, YES, MA'AM.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OKAY, NEXT WE HAVE ORDINANCE

[d. Legislative Hearing - Ordinance No. 22-038 Amendments to Chapter 109 of the Code of Ordinances entitled Floodplain Management. FIRST READING]

22-036, ORDINANCE AMENDED THE CODE OF ORDINANCE IN THE CITY OF FORT FIERCE FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 30, NO, SORRY, WRONG ONE. 22038 I CANNOT SEE WITH THOSE AND ORDINANCE BY THE CITY COMMISSIONER IN FORT PIECE AND 109 OF THE CODE OF ODE ORDINANCE PLEAD PLAIN MANAGEMENT TO CLARIFY BASE FLOOD ZONE EVERYIZATION, DETERMINATION CRITERIA PROVIDING FOR APPLICABILITY, AND PROVIDING FOR SEVERABLE AND REPEALING ORDINANCE AND PARTS THEREOF AND PROVIDING FOR EFFECTIVE DATE, THIS IS THE FIRST READING.

>>> ALL RIGHTY. MR. MIMS DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO

SAY BEFORE MR. THOMAS STARTS? >>> NO, MR. THOMAS IS OUR BUILDING DIRECTOR AND NO ONE LIKES TO HEAR FROM BUILDING DIRECTOR ABOUT FLOOD PLAIN MANAGEMENT, BUT, HE IS OUR CERTIFIED FLOOD PLAIN MANAGER FOR THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE AND I BELIEVE WE HAVE A FEW UPDATES THAT WE NEED TO GET

ACCOMPLISHED. >>> I DIDN'T KNOW NOBODY CARES TO HEAR FROM YOU. I WANT THE HEAR FROM YOU.

>>> YOU ARE SAYING THAT IS NOT SINTLATING?

>>> THAT'S RIGHT. >>> NO.

YEAH. ADAM, I'M GOING TO TRY TO MAKE

THIS AS SIMPLE AS I CAN. >>> GOOD.

>>> AS CHALLENGING -- >>> BECAUSE I READ THE BACKUP AND WANT YOU THE MAKE IT SIMPLE FOR ME.

>>> THE MANAGEMENT IS LIKE BUILDING A BOMB, IF YOU DO IT WRONG IT BLOWS UP IN YOUR FACE. EXTREMELY COMPLICATED SO I WANT TO TRY TO MAKE THIS VERY SIMP. SO, THERE HAVE BEEN TWO ADJUSTMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE, THE FIRST ADJUSTMENT IS JUST ONE WORD WHERE CHANGING THE WORD FROM MAYBE TO SHALL.

AND THIS HAS TO TO WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE VALUE OF THE STRUCTURE, A WELL RESPECTED EXCOMMISSIONER WHO IS AN ATTORNEY RECENTLY HELPED ME TO APPRECIATE AS WE WERE DISPUTING.

>>> DIFFERENT, YES, I KNOW IT HAS GONE ALL THE WAY TO THE

[01:05:01]

STREAM COURT IN SOME CASE, YES. SO BOT TESTIMONY LINE IS WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO ESTABLISH THE RULES, RIGHT, HERE WHAT IT IS.

IF YOU CAN SLIM SIMPLY IMAGINE IF YOU OWN A PROPERTY ON THEST COAST OF FLORIDA RIGHT NOW, AFTER IAN, AND YOU ARE BILLING WAS DAMAGED OR DESTROYED, MAYBE IT IS NOT EVEN THERE AND YOU ARE TRYING TO GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS OF PERMITTING REBUILDING, REPAIRING, THE FIRST STEP FROM FEMA IS, YOU HAVE TO ESTABLISH THE VALUE OF THE BUILDING.

PREDAMAGE VALUE. RIGHT T. MARKET VALUE.

SO, HOW DO YOU DO THAT? RIGHT? SO THIS, YOU KNOW, MARKET VALUE IN CHAPTER 109 SAYS THAT THERE IS TWO WAYS TO ACCOMPLISH THAT, YOU CAN USE THE PROPERTY APPRAISERS VALUATION NOT FOR THE LAND, JUST FOR THE STRUCTURE, AND YOU HAD 20% TO THAT. NOW SOME PEOPLE FEEL THAT IS TOO LOW. YESEN WHAT IN SOME CASES IT MAY BE, SO THEN THEY ALSO HAVE THE OPTION TO HAVE A CERTIFIED APPRAISAL, FROM A PRIVATE APPRAISAL, SO YOU CAN TO IT EITHER WAY. NOW, IN THIS DISCUSSION WITH THIS WELL RESPECTED EXCOMMISSIONER, HUSBAND RECOMMENDATION IS, HEY, WHY DON'T YOU, AS THE BUILDING OFFICIAL SAID THE VALUATION. RIGHT? NOT GOING TO DO IT. NO GOING TO OPEN THE CITY UP TO LIABILITY. SO SECOND TARRELL HE SAID WHY DON'T I GET A REAL ESTATE BROKER TO SET THAT VALUATION, RIGHT? YOU CAN IMAGINE IF YOU ARE IN THE HEAT OF BAT WRL ALL THESE, IF YOUR PROPERTY IS DAMAGED YOU WANT THE HIGHEST VALUE, RIGHT? SO, THIS IS JUST TO ESTABLISH THE RULES.

YOU CAN EITHER HAVE THE PROPERTY APPRAISE WERE 20% ADDITIONAL, OR YOU CAN GET A PRIVATE APPRAISER, THEY HAVE TO BE CERTIFIED, AND THAT IS, THIS IS THE ONE PLAYING FIELD SO THAT ALLOWS ME TO BE ABLE TO DO MY JOB OR ELSE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE.

SO HE HELPED ME TO APPRECIATE WHEN THIS SAID MAY, THAT IT IS OPTIONAL AND IF YOU SAY SHALL THESE ARE BE TWO RULES, SO WE JUST CHANGING THAT ONE WORD TO SHALL.

JUST, YOU KNOW, AND WE THINK IT IS FAIR, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY IF YOU DISPUTE THE PROPERTY APPRAISER THAT IS FINE.

YOU CAN GET YOUR OWN. RIGHT? THE EX ISSUE A LITTLE BIT MORE COMPLICATED, TRY TO KEEP IT SIMPLE. THIS DOCUMENT IS FROM THE NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM, AND IT IS A FEMA DOCUMENT. SO, WHENEVER WE ARE DOING ANY FLOOD PLAIN MANAGEMENT IN THE FLOOD REVIEW FOR PROPERTY THAT ARE BEING CONSTRUCTED, MODIFIED AND A SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREA WE HAVE TO FOLLOW FEMA REGULATION THAT, WHY WE TALK FEDERAL REGULATION, THE BUILDING CODE IS STAND LAW, ANYTHING THAT THE FLOOD PLAIN ADMINISTRATION IS FEDERAL.

RIGHT? BUT THE CHALLENGE IS, IS THAT THIS DOCUMENT IS NOT LEGALLY ENFORCEABLE BECAUSE IT IS NOT AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF FORD PIERCE.

SO, WE ARE MODIFYING OUR ORDINANCE, BECAUSE OF WHAT IT SAID HERE. SO IF I CAN, IF I CAN DUMB THIS ALL THE BY DOWN JUST TO THE NUTS AND BOLT, RIGHT? IF YOU READ A FLOOD MAP, RIGHT, FLOOD MAPS HAVE ELEVATIONS, SO IF YOU ARE BUY THE BEACH YOU MIGHT HAVE AN ELEVATION RUFF TO BUILD, OR THE FLOOD LEVEL IS 12 FEET.

IF YOU ARE DOWNTOWN IT MAY BE TWO FEET, RIGHT? WHATEVER IT IS, THAT IT TELLS YOU AND GIVES YOU JUST NUMBER, A. E. 1, A. E. 2, A. E. 5, WHATEVER IT IS.

THOSE NUMBERS ARE ROUNDED, RIGHT? THAT IS NOT THE ACTUAL, PRECISE ELEVATION THERE, THEY ARE ROUNDING UP OR ROUNDED DOWN. SO IF YOU READ A MAP, AN IT SAID A. E8, THAT MEANS THAT IT COULD BE 8.4 FEET, RIGHT? BUT IF IT IS NOT 9.5 THEY ROUND IT BACK DOWN TO 8.

IT COULD BE 7.6 AND THEY ROUND IT UP.

SO, THERE IS A LITTLE SLOP IN THERE, BUT ULTIMATELY WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO BUILD SOMETHING YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE IT IS ACTUALLY HIGH ENOUGH. SO IF YOU ARE DECIDING OR REALLY TRYING TO FIND A SAFE ELEVATION, FOO EMA'S REGULATIONS HERE, THEY SAY TO TAKE CARE OF --

>>> >>>

>>> I HOPE THAT IS SIMPLE, THAT REALLY ENCOMPASSES THE REASON

[01:10:10]

FOR THESE CHANGES IN THE MODIFICATION OF THE ORDINANCE SO THAT WE ARE JUST PROTECTED AND WE DON'T HAVE TO ARM WRESTLE AND ARGUE WITH FOLKS WHEN THEY COME IN.

>>> WE ARE MAKING OUR ORDINANCE COMPATIBLE WITH FEDERAL; IS THAT RIGHT? WITH A FEDERAL REQUIREMENT.

>>> EXACTLY IT, YES. >>> ALL RIGHT.

ANYO QUESTIONS? >>> YES, THANK YO FOR THE EXPLANATION. I THINK IT IS MORE THAN COMPATIBLE, IT IS EXTRA PROTECTING US BY THE 0.4 MORE OVER TOWARD WHATEVER WE SAID, RIGHT? IT IS PROTECTING OUR CITIZENS, I THINK, SO I GUESS FROM A, I HAVEN'T BUILD ANYTHING IN A LONG TIME, RIGHT? SO SOME OF THE ARCHITECTS AND BUILDERS THAT BUILD STUFF, DOES THAT 0.4 MEAN SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT MORE IN CONSTRUCTION

COST? >>> IT DOES INCREASE CONSTRUCTION COST, IT GENERALLY DOES.

USUALLY THAT WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, IF YOU WERE GOING TO BUILD ON FILL, RIGHT, SO LET'S SAY YOU ARE NOT A IN A BOTTLE, IN A V.

ZONE WHERE YOU HAVE TO BUILD ON PILES OR WHATEVER THAT IS PRETTY SIMPLE. PUT IF YOU BUILD ON FILL YOU HAVE TO GO 4" UP, NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN YOUR COST WILL BE ANOTHER DUMP TRUCKLOAD AND WE GET INTO CHALLENGES.

BUT IN THE END IT ULTIMATELY PROTECTS THE PERSON BUILDING THAT HOUSE THERE AND PUTS HIM IN A, A PETTER PREDICAMENT DEALING WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY, RIGHT? FOR ANY CLAIMS THAT MIGHT BE THERE.

>>> ABSOLUTELY. >> ALL RIGHT.

I GOT IT THERE. >>> IT INDEMNIFIES THE CITY WHEN WE FOLLOW THE RULES, IF WE DON'T HAVE THE RULES THEY TAKE ALL THE FUNDING AND ALL THE FEDERAL ASSISTANCE FROM THE CITY

AND THE CITIZENS CAN GO AWAY. >>> GOT IT.

OKAY. IT IS CLEAR TO ME NOW.

THE FEDS WILL TAKE OUR MONEY. EXACTLY.

ALL RIGHT. ANYO QUESTIONS? EYE MENTIONED THE BUILDING CODE, AND YOU MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, SPECIFICALLY, PUT BOTH HATS ON, RIGHT, YOU GET AN APPLICATION LOOKING AT THE FLOOD MAPS AN ELEVATION WHERE WE ARE NEED TO BE SET, HOW DOES OUR BUILDING CODE COMPARE TO THIS CHANGE?

SPECIFICALLY. >>> THEY ARE SEPARATE, SO THE BUILDING CODE REQUIRES A ONE FOOT FREE BOARD, WHICH IS EXCELLENT, IT TOOK A LOT FOR FLORIDA TO PUT THAT IN THERE, SOME STATES WANT TO TWO TO TWO FEET, THEY WANT TO INCREASE AND GO HIRING, THE HIGHER THE BETTER REALLY.

IN PUBLIC OPINION, IN, ON THIS SIDE OF IT, RIGHT? ON THIS SIDE, FEMA IS BASICALLY TRYING TO MAKE THAT ADJUSTMENT FOR THE ROUNDING UP, AND SECOND DARRYL, IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT THERE IS, THERE WAS A DATA CHANGE AND I DON'T WANT GET INTO THE WEED BUT IF 1950 WHEN THEY WERE OUT THERE WITH THE TRANSIT AND WHATEVER, IT WAS N. G.B. D. AND PUTTING FIGURES DOWN, NOW THEY USE LIE CAR AND SATELLITES AND WHATEVER.

IT IS IN N. A. V. D. AND IT IS DIFFERENT AND THERE IS A WHOLE CORRELATION AND THAT WHY IT IS NOT EASY TO DO THIS, RIGHT.

IT IS NOT. SO ALL ROUNDING UP AND WHATEVER EQUAL JUST ON THE FLOOD MAIN MANAGEMENT SIDE, HOW TO DO YOU GET THE NUMBER TO BE AS K RAT OR CLOSE TO K A RAT AS IT CAN AND ADD THE FOOT ON TOP. THERE IS SEPARATE ANIMALS.

>>> THIS BANK YOU FOR THAT. THE CHALLENGE IS BEYOND THIS, PROTECTION, PROTECTION, INSURANCE, FEMA, ALL THESE THINGS BUT COMMISSIONER I WILL SUBMIT TO YOU IF YOU LOOK AT CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOODS AND AS THEY ARE BEING BUILT, I WILL TAKE, FOR EXAMPLE, CORPUS AND AND FER DINA AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE THEY ARE IN RELATION TO PUBLIC STRUCTURE, AND IF YOU LOOK TAT ELEVATION THAT, THE ELEVATION THAT IS SAY 15 IN THE ROAD IS AT 17, THAT IS A LILT OFF, A LITTLE EXAGGERATED BUT IT NOT FAR OFF, THERE IS A 5-6-FOOT ELEVATION DIFFERENCE, WHILE WE THINK OF ONE WE HAVE TO THINK OF THE SCOPE OF MANY AND HOW WE ARE DEALING WITH FLOOD PLAIN MANAGEMENT, HOW WE ARE DEALING WITH STORM WATER AND HOW OUR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT HAS TO THEN DEAL WITH THINGS THAT ARE CREATED BY DEVELOPMENT.

SO, IT IS A VERY COMPLICATED ISSUE AND THERE IS NO SOUND TECHNICAL ANSWER, WE JUST HAVE TO START LOOKING FOCUSED IN AND THEN BRANCH OUT FROM THERE, BECAUSE IT HAS AN IMPACT.

>>> YES, IT DOES. AND GO AHEADM SEAN.

>>> IF I MAY RESPOND BECAUSE YOU HIT THE NAIL RIGHT ON THE HEAD WITH THAT ISSUE. SO YOU HAVE BUILDINGS BUILT IN THE 40S AND 50S, SLAB ON GRADE, AND THEY ARE BELOW BASE FLOOD ELEVATION IN IN MAYBES ON THE ISLAND THAT, IS JUST A STANDARD, RIGHT? NOW SOMEONE COMES IN RIGHT NEXT DOOR AND THEY BUILD A NEW HOUSE AND IT IS, YOU CAN LOOK DOWN THE STREET AND IT IS FIVE FEET HIGHER OR WHATEVER.

SO WHAT WE HAVE ESTABLISHED BY ORDINANCE IS WE REQUIRE NEW CONSTRUCTION OR DO MAJOR CHANGES LIKE BUILD OUT A POOL OR DO SOMETHING OF THAT SORT, THAT WE ARE REQUIRING THE APPLICANT TO SUBMIT A CERTIFIED DRAINAGE PLAN WHICH HAS TO BE DRAWN BY A

[01:15:04]

DESIGN PROFESSIONAL, SO SOMEONE THAT IS HIGH SENSED THAT SHOWS HOW THEY ARE GOING TO KEEP THEIR STORM WATER ON THEIR PROPERTY AND OPINION VENT IT FROM GOING TO NEIGHBOR'S PROPERTY . THAT SA REQUIREMENT THROUGH ENGINEERING, BUT WE ARE REQUIRING THAT FROM THE BUILDING CODE, BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO GET IT WRONG AND THEN COME AFTER IT AND THEN WHERE IS THE ENFORCEMENT, RIGHT? IF MY NEIGHBOR IS COMPLAINING BECAUSE THEY ARE GETTING FLOODED WHAT DO WE DO, KNOCK YOUR HOUSE DOWN? NO WE GO BACK TO THE ENGINEER WHO DREW IT AND SAY, YOU KNOW, YOU DREW IT, YOU FIX IT.

AND THERE IS SOMEONE WHO IS ACTUALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR IT THAT IS WHY WE HAVE IT AND WE GET A LOT OF PUSHBACK, IT NOT POPULAR, BUT IT IS TO PROTECT CITIZENS AND IT IS JUST WHAT YOU ARE SAYING THESE THINGS ARE REAL AND GETTING WORSE, BUT WE JUST HAVE TO BALANCE, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE THE OLD AND NEW, TOUGH DO THE

BEST YOU CAN. >>> THAT HAPPENS EVERY WHERE AND IT IS NOT JUST THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE IT IS ALL OVER, BUT,

IT IS A REAL CHALLENGE. >>> OUR DESIGN PROFESSIONALS HAVE TO MEET THAT AN IS THE SAME TIME WE AS THE, YOU KNOW, LAY PEOPLE, AT EVEN THOUGH WE ARE LEGISLATIVE BODY WE ARE LIKE HOW DO WE DO THIS? AND THEN MANAGE A BUDGET WHERE WE KNOW THERE IS GOING TO BE QUOTE, UNQUOTE EXTRA STORM WATER

ON THE STREET OR WHAT EVER. >>> RIGHT.

AND I THINK WE BOTH KNOW A PERSON WHO HAS AN OLDER HOUSE, SEVERAL HOUSES AROUND HER, ARE BUILT UP AND DOESN'T BELIEVE THE DRAINAGE IS WORKING, DOES NOT BELIEVE IT AT ALL.

SO, THAT IS A PROBLEM. YEAH.

THAT IS A CHALLENGE. I KNOW.

>>> IT BECOMES A MOTE. >>> YES.

RIGHT. AND GETS CLOSE TO THE HOUSE.

>>> BUT THE ANSWER IS CONTINUE TO DO AS MUST HAVE AS WE CAN TO PROTECT, YOU KNOW T PROPERTY. WE ARE DOING THAT.

>>> YEAH. YES.

RIGHT. EXACTLY.

IT IS JUST INTEREST, I'M SORRY, MADAM MAYOR THIS GOING BACK TO THE EVACUATION, THE 20% FACTOR OR CERTIFIED APPRAISAL, ARE YOU TRYING TO DETERMINE REPLACEMENT VALUATION, INSURANCE VALUECATION, OR MARKET VALUATION?

>>> MARKET VALUATION. >>> NOW, THAT MARKET VALUATION IS UTILIZED IN THE ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO RECONSTRUCT BASED ON

PERCENTAGE OF DAMAGES? >>> YES, WE ARE GETTING INTO THE WEEDS. NO.

>>> THAT SA YES, YES, I DON'T WANT TO HAVE YOU GET INTO THE WHOLE LITANY OF THE ORDINANCE, BUT, I HAVE ONE INTO THIS ISSUE BEFORE. SO, MARKET VALUE IS THE DETERMINATION, THE APPRAISER NUMBERS KENLEY ARE USELESS, ALL RIGHT, SO IN THIS CONTEXT. THE APPRAISAL THE ONLY WAY TO GO. I WILL NOT DRAG NEWS THE DISCUSSION OF VALUATION THAT IS WHAT THE NUMBER IS BASED FOR IS PERCENTAGE OF DAMAGE AND RECONSTRUCTION, IT MARKET VALUE OF THE STRUCTURE IS USED TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THE DAMAGE IS 50% OF THE MARKET VALUE OR NOT.

>>> MARKET VALUE. >>> PRE, PREDAMAGE?

>>> PREDAMAGE. YES.

>>> NOARTDZ HALF THE WEST COAST IS NOT GOING TO BE FIXED AND WE RAN INTO THAT PROBLEM HERE IN 2004.

AS WELL. BUT YOU HAVE ADDRESSED MY QUESTION, AND CONCERN, BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO SECURE A CERTIFIED APPRAISAL FROM A CERTIFIED APPRAISER, THAT GIVES THE PROPERTY OWNER THE EXIT STRATEGY TO CONTEST THE POSITION. OKAY.

THAT IS WHAT I'M IN FAVOR OF. THAT IS CREATING THE MECHANISM

HERE. >>> EXACTLY.
