CITY OF FORT PIERCE IS MOVING FORWARD. WE HAVE A BEAUTIFUL CITY AND WE HAVE SOME AMAZING PROJECTS COMING FORTH. I JUST WANT TO SAY TO THE CITIZENS OUT THERE TO REMAIN ENCOURAGED. AND STEADFAST. THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN A RESILIENT CITY. WE SHALL CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD. I AM VERY OPTIMISTIC ABOUT THINGS. THEY ALWAYS HAVE A WAY OF WORKING THEMSELVES OUT. I WAS HONORED TO BE WITH THE MAYOR TODAY AS WE PUSHED IN A NEW FIRE ENGINE THAT WILL SERVE AS NOT ONLY OF BIRCH COMMUNITY , BUT THAT ENGINE COMES TO THE MAINLAND TO BACK UP ON CALLS. SO YOU WILL SEE THIS NEW ENGINE ABOUT IN YOUR TAXPAYER DOLLARS THAT WE UTILIZE TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE GREAT EQUIPMENT TO SERVICE OUR GROWING COMMUNITY. AND SO IT IS ALWAYS GREAT TO BE A PART OF THAT. JUST WISH EVERYBODY A HAPPY SPRING AS WE MOVE THE CLOCKS FORWARD ON SUNDAY. THAT'S IT FOR ME. YEAH, THE CLOCKS MOVE FORWARD>> I WILL NEED THE CLEANUP. OKAY. I WILL BE THERE.
>> I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT JASON TWO ON THE BEACH, THEY NAMED THEIR FIRE ENGINES. SO THE OLDER ONE IS NAMED SANDY.
AND THE NEURON IS NAMED SHELLEY. THERE IS A BEACH
>> I DO NOT HAVE ANY COFFEE BEFORE THE MEETING.
>> WOULD LIKE TO GO NEXT ? COMMISSIONER BRODERICK?
>> FIRST OFF, MS. BROWN? >> DEBORAH BROWN, YES.
>> COMING TO EVERY COMMISSION MEETING AND GETTING UP TO SAY
THAT AT ONE HOUR INTERVALS. >> DOING AT THE BEGINNING TOO.
I DO AGREE WITH COMMISSIONER CURTIS JOHNSON. WE HAVE TAKEN OUR HITS. IT JUST ENCOURAGES ME TO WORK HARDER , ROLL UP OUR SLEEVES. WORKING MORE DILIGENTLY TO MAKE SWEEPING IMPROVEMENTS TO THE CITY. THE GOOD PLANNING AND GOOD DEVELOPMENT, ET CETERA. STAYING ON TASK AND STAY MOTIVATED.
CANDIDLY, THIS WHOLE EVENT HAS JUST DRIVEN ME TO LOSE MORE SLEEP ABOUT HOW WE CAN DO IT BETTER. I AM EXCITED FOR THE FUTURE OF THE CITY. I GET IT DECISIONS ARE MADE OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL SOME OF THE TIME. HOWEVER, THEIR DECISIONS MADE WITHIN OUR CONTROL. WITHIN OUR CONTROL, THIS COMMISSION HAS THE ABILITY TO MOVE THAT AGENDA FORWARD. IT HAS ALREADY WORKED SO WELL TOGETHER. I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE PROSPECTS COMING UP OVER THE 2024. FOR SOME REASON , THE NEGATIVITY OF THAT HAS INSPIRED ME TO GET OUT THERE AND WORK HARDER AND DIG DEEPER AND REALLY MAKE AN EFFORT. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THOSE COMMENTS OR THOSE ARE EXACTLY MY SENTIMENTS.
>> TWO OTHER POSITIVE POINTS I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT. ONE IS THAT THE COAST GUARD RECENTLY HAD THEIR IMPROVEMENT DATE. THEY PROVIDED INFORMATION TO THE CITY AND THE CITY DISSEMINATED IT THROUGH ITS SOURCES, ET CETERA. THERE IS A REPORT MADE BY A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE COAST GUARD THAT THEY HAD THREE SIGN-UPS COME OUT OF THE SENIOR CLASS OF FORT PIERCE HIGH SCHOOLS . THEY WERE THRILLED WITH THAT PROSPECT . APPARENTLY, THAT IS NOT HAPPEN.
THREE IS THREE. THREE IS BETTER THAN ZERO. WE HAVE THREE YOUNG FOLKS THAT ARE GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL CAREER OPPORTUNITY AHEAD OF THEM. THE COAST GUARD WAS ECSTATIC ABOUT THAT. COMMISSIONER GAINES, I KNOW THAT IS IN YOUR WHEELHOUSE. IT WAS EFFECTIVE. IT IS AN INFANCY STEP AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH TREVOR MAY COMING OUT COAST GUARD CITY PARADISE ANY MORE OF A MARRIAGE TAKING PLACE ON RECRUITMENT OUT OF FORT PIERCE SCHOOLS AND KEEPING THEIR KIDS AND GREAT TRAINING. AND EVEN POSSIBLY BEING OUT BASE HERE. THE PROCESS OF THAT I THOUGHT WERE PRETTY EXCITING. I WAS NOT HAVING THE GREATEST DAY WHEN HE TOLD ME THAT. IT REALLY MADE MY DAY WHEN HE GAVE ME HIS ONE SMALL SUCCESS. THAT WAS A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT BETWEEN THE COAST GUARD AND THE CITY COMMISSION, CITY STAFF, ET CETERA. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO GREATER THINGS THERE BUT THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO POINT OUT. THERE A LOT OF COMMENTS
[00:20:01]
ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT GOES ON IN THE CITY. WE DO NOT GET A LOT OF COMPLIMENTS . I MUST POINT OUT THAT THE CITY PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT, UNDER DIRECTOR WHEELS, HAS RECENTLY UNDERTAKEN STREETLAMP REPLACEMENT OUT ON OCEAN AVENUE AND -- I'VE BEEN TOLD BY A DOZEN PEOPLE THAT THIS WORK WAS NOTICED. THEY HAVE REPLACED SOMEWHERE IN THE VICINITY OF 80 LIGHT FIXTURES OUT THERE. IT HAS BEEN NOTICED BY THE RESIDENTS. THAT'S FOR SURE. OF COURSE, WE WANT TO REPLICATE THAT THROUGHOUT THE CITY. FOR SOME REASON, STREETLIGHTS SAYS NOT BECOME ONE OF MY NEW HOBBIES.>> BRODERICK, I GET IT. IT'LL, THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN SQA , OUR TEAM, ET CETERA, WORKING JOINTLY WITH PUBLIC WORKS.
WHAT THEIR ABILITY TO REPORT THESE THINGS ONLINE. I AM NOT REPORTING ONLINE BECAUSE GOODNESS KNOWS I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THAT. THERE'S A WHOLE NEW MECHANISM IN PLACE THAT HAS SPED UP THE PROCESS AND TURNAROUND TIME, ET CETERA. I THINK THAT CONSTRUCTIVE DISCUSSION TO IMPROVE THAT ENTIRE PROCESS HAS HELPED SIGNIFICANTLY. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT AND TALKING ABOUT IT AT LENGTH WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING. WE WILL NOT HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THAT ANYMORE BECAUSE IT WILL BE SO EFFECTIVE IN THE METHODOLOGY IT IS BEING HANDLED BUT I WANT TO COPY BUT THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT AND GETTING THEIR SUBCONTRACTORS INVOLVED AND SOURCING THE MATERIALS, ET CETERA, TO GET THAT DONE. I MENTIONED IT TO MIKE TONIGHT. HE HAS MORE STUFF COMING IN FOR INSTALLATION. WE ARE GOING TO SEE A CONTINUED IMPROVEMENT IN THAT WHOLE AREA. I WANT TO COMPLEMENT NICK . HE DID A GREAT JOB. I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THEIR HANDS IN THAT. WHOEVER THE WHOLE TEAM WAS THAT HAD A PIECE OF THAT, THEY DESERVE A PAT ON THE DAT -- BACK FOR THEY DID A
PHENOMENAL JOB. >> THAT'S GREAT. WHO IS NEXT?
COMMISSIONER GAINES? >> HELLO. I'M GOING TO SAY THE SAME THING. I AM GLAD MS. BROWN CAME TONIGHT BECAUSE I WAS NOT GOING TO BE, I WAS GOING TO BE THE ONE THAT SAID SOMETHING BECAUSE I WAS UPSET. I'M GOING TO LISTEN TO WHAT MY COLLEAGUES SAY. LISTENING TO SOMEONE HERE WITH A HIGHER CALLING. LISTEN TO IT FOR YOURSELF AND I WILL LISTEN TO IT AND I WILL KEEP QUIET COMMISSIONER BRODERICK, THE ONE THING YOU SAID THAT I AGREE WITH. THIS IS -- THIS HAS MOTIVATED ME. I WENT BACK TO ACTUALLY LOOKING AT MY NOTES FROM OUR STRATEGIC PLANNING. I AM READY TO PUSH EVERY LAST ONE OF THOSE ITEMS. THOSE ITEMS WE AGREED TO.
TO THE CONTRACTORS WORKING WITH US, LET'S GET SERIOUS. I AM NOT CALLING ANY NAMES OUT. I WANT TO SEE SOME SHOVELS IN SUMTER ON THE HOTEL IS WHAT I WANT TO SEE WHAT WE ARE SAYING WE ARE DOING. TONIGHT, MR. MANAGER, THE BOAT RAMP. THAT WAS A GREAT START. THAT WAS A GREAT START TONIGHT. IF WE PUT THAT BOOK RIGHT THERE AND ASKED WHAT COMMISSIONER CURTIS JOHNSON SAID, THAT AREA , IT IS GOING TO SPREAD TO WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO. SO A TIME-OUT FOR ALL OF THE TALKING. I'M NOT GOING TO PUT SHELLS IN THE GROUND. IT IS GOING TO PUT SHOVELS IN THE GROUND. WE ARE GOING FOR IT. BEFORE I FORGET, I WILL BE THERE. I WILL BE THERE SATURDAY. AN EMAIL COMING FROM HER THINK WHERE WERE YOU? SHE KNOWS I WILL GET IT.
I HAVE TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT. I'VE BEEN A RESIDENT OF FORT PIERCE 56 YEARS. I HAVE WRITTEN MY THE NAVY MUSEUM ALL MY LIFE. AND LAST MONDAY, FOR SOME REASON, I STOPPED. I GOT A TOUR. I THINK MY TOUR AS IT MAY BE 30-40 MINUTES AND THEN I TOOK ANOTHER 30-40 MINUTES TO GO BACK TO READ EVERYTHING. I DID NOT KNOW, AND I PUT IT ALL IN MYSELF, I DID NOT KNOW WHAT A JEWEL WE HAVE IN THAT MUSEUM RIGHT HERE. THAT MUSEUM IS JUST LIKE GOING TO D.C. AND ALL THESE OTHER MUSEUMS WITH A HISTORY AND ARTIFACTS AND THE
[00:25:06]
NAVY S.E.A.L.S COMING FROM THE ROOF THE ROOF THAT I AM TELLING EVERYBODY I CAN HEAR MY VOICE, IF YOU HAVE LIVED IN FORT PIERCE , AND YOU HAVE NEVER STOPPED TO GO TAKE A TOUR, GET YOUR KIDS AND GO TAKE IT TO HER. HONOR THE MEN AND WOMEN THAT FOUGHT FOR US AND THAT ARE IN THAT MUSEUM. I WAS VERY SHOCKED . THAT IS ANOTHER JIM WE HAVE HERE THAT WE NEED TO GET OUT AND LET PEOPLE GO SEE.OTHER THAN THAT, MADAME MAYOR, I AM MOTIVATED. I'M NOT GOING TO SIT HERE AND LIE TO YOU. I WROTE A WHOLE LOT OF STUFF AND REALIZED -- ERASED A WHOLE LOT OF STUFF. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER CURTIS JOHNSON , FOR THAT. I WAS MAYOR. I AM WRITING THIS DOWN. MS. BROWN, I DID A LOT OF THINKING OVER THE WEEKEND. AND I SAID, OKAY. COMMON SENSE SAID TWO LOCATIONS IS THE BEST SPOT. WHAT AM I MISSING? I SAID TO MYSELF, WHAT AM I MISSING? WHAT AM I MISSING? WHAT DID WE NOT GET? AND I ASKED MYSELF, WHAT CAN I DO MORE? THE NEXT TIME ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY IN FORT PIERCE COMES IN FRONT OF US ? ALL I SAID WAS, OKAY, I CAN WORK HARDER. I DO NOT KNOW IF NICK AND HIS TEAM COULD'VE DONE ANYTHING ELSE TO WHAT THEY DID. I AGREE WITH YOU , COMMISSIONER BRODERICK, THEY DID A GREAT JOB. I AM READY TO WORK. I'M READY TO MAKE FORT PIERCE , AS WE SAY, ONE OF FORT PIERCE. ONE LAST QUESTION.
MR. MANAGER, I KNOW WE ARE WORKING WITH A COMPANY, TRYING TO FIX THE STREETLIGHTS. THE STREETLIGHTS ITSELF. WHO FIXES THE SIGNS? IF IT SAYS THE GREEN SIGNS THAT SAY, LIKE, --
WHO FIXES THAT? >> THAT IS HANDLED INTERNALLY THROUGH THE FORT PIERCE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT .
>> OKAY, I WILL TALK TO YOU BECAUSE WE HAVE A COUPLE OUT.
>> SURE. JUST LET ME KNOW. >> JUST BLINKED. ALL RIGHT.
MADAME MAYOR? YOU KNOW I WAS GOING TO SAY SOMETHING SO I'LL BE QUIET.
WAITING FOR IT GUYS THAT I'VE BEEN READY FOR THIS MEETING ESPECIALLY AFTER EVERYTHING. AND FOR HER TO GET UP AND SAY WHAT YOU SAID, I JUST SAT BACK AND SAID BE QUITE A BIT BEFORE I GET MYSELF IN TROUBLE, I WILL PASS IT ON TO COMMISSIONER CURTIS JOHNSON
AND MADAME MAYOR. >> COMMISSIONER CURTIS JOHNSON ? I FEEL THE SAME WAY, RIGHT? BUT I MOVED ON PAST AND QUICKLY. BECAUSE THERE ARE GREAT THINGS TO COME TO THIS CITY. THERE'S A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY WITHIN THIS CITY. I SEE THIS AS ONE OPPORTUNITY THAT WE WENT ON A PATH. WE ANALYZED IT AND PUT IN OUR BEST OPPORTUNITIES FOR A DIFFERENT STYLE OF GROWTH WE ARE NOT USED TO.
WE ARE CHANGING GEARS . THAT IS ALL WE ARE DOING. I WILL COMPLEMENT STAFF, SPECIFICALLY NICK AND I HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS . I THINK WE WERE GOING INTO THE, I DON'T KNOW, IT WAS THE 11TH HOUR UNTIL WE JUST GOT SOME OTHER NEWS. IT WAS BEING WORKED ON. THANK YOU TO ALL THE STAFF THAT WORK ON THAT . THE PROPOSAL AND THAT OPPORTUNITY. THERE IS MUCH MORE TO COME, WITHOUT A DOUBT . AS FAR AS STREETLIGHTS, NOT ONLY HAVE YOU BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT AND LOSING SLEEP OVER IT, I PROBABLY HAD THREE STAFF MEETINGS ALREADY ABOUT STREETLAMPS. STANDARDIZATION. I HAVE TO SAY THANK YOU TO THAT GENTLEMAN SITTING IN THE AUDIENCE THERE, MR. ANDREWS, AND PUBLIC WORKS , AND -- AS YOU HAVE, COMMISSIONER.
THERE ARE SOME THINGS. THESE GUYS HAVE BEEN WORKING AT IT FOR 25-30 YEARS OF GETTING THROUGH DIFFERENT GROWTH ELEMENTS OF OUR CITY. TALKING ABOUT THE CRA. TALKING ABOUT ROADWAY DESIGN. THIS YOUNG ENGINEER, I'M SURE, AT SOME POINT HAVE SOME INPUT. THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT HAD INPUT OVER THE YEARS. YOU KNOW, THERE IS A LOT TO BE SAID ABOUT ALL OF THOSE THINGS. HE WOULD NOT HAVE A BEAUTIFUL CITY WITHOUT THE FORETHOUGHT AND THAT HARD WORK AND THAT THINKING. AND THE ENGINEERING OF ALL OF THOSE THINGS. OUR
[00:30:04]
STANDARDS, I GUESS, TO TASTE WITH OUR CITY STANDARDS AND I AM OUT OF OUR CITY STANDARDS BUT IF YOU REALLY DIG IN AND LOOK AT WHAT WE HAVE CREATED OVER A LIFETIME OF THE CITY, WE HAVE A UNIQUE PLACE. IT HAS ITS OWN STAMP OF UNIQUE NESTS. AND THAT WAS ALL TALKING ABOUT STREETLAMPS.>> YEAH. THAT IS THE NEW NORMAL. THAT'S RIGHT . AS FAR AS ALL THE OTHER GOOD THINGS IN OUR CITY, A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY IF YOU JUST DIG IN AND REGION. IF YOU LOOK WITHIN YOUR HEART, WITHIN YOUR PERSON, WITHIN YOUR FAMILY , WITH WHAT YOU CAN SHARE BUT I WAS OUT OF THE FAIR THIS YEAR. MULTIPLE TIMES.
SUPPORTING USE. PARTNERING WITH OTHER FOLKS. TO HELP THE LIVESTOCK POPULATION , THE GROWTH OF A STUDENT, WHATEVER IT WAS BUT IT WAS NEAT TO SEE OUR COMMUNITY AND THE WHOLE COUNTY. IT WAS BUSY. IT WAS VERY BUSY. IT TELLS YOU HOW MANY FOLKS WERE REALLY HERE AND LIVING WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY WHEN YOU HAVE AN EVENT LIKE THAT. TRAFFIC WAS BACKED UP. I AM SURE LAW ENFORCEMENT CAN SHARE BETTER. -- ROAD -- OKEECHOBEE ROAD. I THINK IT WAS MIDWAY FROM THE INTERSECTION PAST CHIN ROAD BACK PAST THE STORE, ALMOST --
>> YEAH, SOCIAL MEDIA BACKUP .
>> IT WAS PRETTY AMAZING, YET. I TOLD THE STORY ABOUT OUR WHOLE COMMUNITY. THE CITY AND COUNTY AND THE ST. LUCIE COUNTY WOULD HAVE TO MANAGE GROWTH AND I TELL PEOPLE THAT ALL THE TIME. THEY GET SOAKED UP ABOUT THE GROWTH. THEY GET CHOKED UP ABOUT HOW THEIR CITY IS CHANGING. I PROMISE UNTIL THEM, EVEN THOUGH IT IS A PROMISE, I SAY WE WORK HARD. I KNOW THE WORK ETHIC OF THIS COMMISSION AND THIS STAFF. I FEEL LIKE I CAN UPHOLD THAT PROMISE THAT I PROMISED THEM WE ARE GOING TO WORK HARD BECAUSE WE DO. THAT IS NOT A PAT ON THE BACK. THAT IS SAYING , THIS IS WHAT WE ARE TOLD WE ARE GOING TO DO SO WE ARE GOING TO DO IT. NO ACCOLADES NEEDED. I'M NOT LOOKING FOR AN ACCOLADE BY ANY MEANS.
I'M SAYING WITH YOUR HELP AND ASSISTANCE, LET'S DO IT TOGETHER. MR. AND MRS. RESIDENT, YOU KNOW, YOUTH, WHOEVER. THAT'S WHAT I'VE GOT. I AM FINISHED. THANK YOU.
>> I THINK DEBORAH BROWN REALLY SET THE MOOD FOR US TONIGHT AND I APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH. BECAUSE I HAVE SORT OF GOTTEN TO WHERE SHE WAS, BUT NOT WITH QUITE ALL THAT WONDERFUL ENTHUSIASM SHE HAD.
LOT TO BE PROUD OF. I AM PROUD OF FORT PIERCE AND THE EFFORT WE PUT FORWARD. WE MET THEIR SPECIFICATIONS . LIKE YOU SAY, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT WE COULD'VE DONE DIFFERENTLY. AND SO AND TELL THEY EVER LET US KNOW , FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, I AM VERY PROUD. WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PROCESS IS WE GOT A LOT OF SUPPORT.
UNIFIED THE CITY IN THIS COUNTY AND WE GOT IT A LOT OF SUPPORT FROM INDIAN RIVER COUNTY AND FROM OKEECHOBEE COUNTY. A LOT OF THOSE PEOPLE ARE AS UPSET AS PEOPLE HERE BUT THERE ARE 411 CITIES IN FLORIDA AND WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT.
>> I VERY PROUD OF THE PEOPLE HERE. WE ARE HARD-WORKING AND AUTHENTIC. I WOULD NOT LIVE ANYPLACE ELSE. I AM VERY, VERY PROUD OF THIS CITY. I AM PROUD OF OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT WHO HAD A BIG EVENT ON FRIDAY AND HANDLED IT IN SUCH A WONDERFUL, SMOOTH , AND UNDRAMATIC WAY. JUST HANDLED IT. I AM ALWAYS ON PINS AND NEEDLES UNTIL I GET THE WORD THAT EVERYTHING IS OVER AND DONE.
POLICE DEPARTMENT. >> I WILL BE AT THE GREAT AMERICAN CLEANUP. ALSO, AT THE FARMERS MARKET THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE EMPTY BOWLS THIS WEEK. EMPTY BOWLS IS A PROJECT THAT WAS SCHOOL DISTRICT AND WITH THE FOOD BANK.
THE ART CLASSES MAKE POTTERY BOWLS AND DECORATE THEM AND THEN IN THE CULINARY CLASSES, THEY MAKE SOUP AND THEY SERVE THE SOUP AND SALAD AND THEY TURN OVER THE PROCEEDS . IT IS ALWAYS A BIG EVENT. WE GET A WHOLE NEW GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO COME TO THE FARMERS MARKET BECAUSE IT IS ALL TIED TO THESE YOUNG PEOPLE. THE PARENTS WANT TO COME AND BY THEIR KID'S BOWLS AND IT IS A GOOD EVENT . THAT WOULD BE A LOT GOING ON DOWNTOWN BETWEEN THE GREAT AMERICAN CLEANUP AND THE EMPTY BOWLS OF THE FARMERS MARKET. SPEAKING OF THE COAST GUARD, THEY WERE ASKED -- I WAS VERY, VERY HAPPY TO SEE THEM.
[00:35:06]
TALKING ABOUT CAREERS IN THE COAST GUARD. PROMOTING THE EVENT AND THE RECRUITING EVENT. THAT WAS AN EXCELLENT CHART YOUR COURSE. THAT WAS AN EXCELLENT THING. IT WAS WORKING WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, THE FORT PIERCE TRAP 13. AN EXCELLENT EVENT FOR FORT PIERCE. WITH THAT , I WAS ON THE CALL TODAY WITH THE FLORIDA LEAGUE OF CITIES. THE LEGISLATURE IS WINDING DOWN. THERE ARE SOME BILLS STILL SORT OF OUT THERE THAT COULD HAPPEN OR COULD NOT HAPPEN. THEY HAVE ONE MORE WEEK AND THEY ARE HOPEFUL NOT TOO MUCH DAMAGE IS DONE. I THINK THE ONES THAT HAVE THE MOST PROMISE OF PASSING ARE THE ONES FOR THE BUILDING PERMITS TO BE EXPEDITED. I THINK THOSE ARE GOING TO BE THE ONES THAT HAVE THE MOST TRACTION. THE OTHERS, BUT THEY WARNED US . OF SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY DOES NOT PSS THIS TIME, IT WILL COME ROARING BACK NEXT YEAR. AT ANY RATE, THIS IS THE LAST WEEK WE ARE GOING INTO. YES? YES? SURE.>> TODAY I WAS IMPACTED BY A CONVERSATION. YOU BROUGHT UP A BUILDING INSPECTION AND PERMIT PROCESS. THE STATE IS ALWAYS CHANGING THE RULES OF THE GAME. THERE'S ALWAYS ANOTHER RULE OR ANOTHER FOR A MATCH. AND SO IT IS IMPORTANT WE CONSIDER THESE THINGS WHEN WE LOOK AT THE LOCAL LEVEL AND WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO IMPLEMENT. EVEN THOUGH WE ARE TRYING TO IMPROVE SOMETHING BUT I FIND TODAY THERE IS AN INSPECTION NOW FOR DRYWALL SCREWS. I MEAN, I AM NOT SURE AND IF YOU COME IF YOU EVER WALK INTO A BUILDING AND IF YOU'VE EVER GONE UP TO AND SAID, OH, IS THAT RIGHT LOUIS? I DON'T THINK ANY OF US HAVE EVER DONE THAT. I'M BEING SARCASTIC. BUT IT CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD. OH, MY GOODNESS. SO I SHARE THIS WITH YOU BECAUSE IT WAS A PERSONAL THING I HEARD TODAY. I JUST COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT I WAS HEARING. SO WHEN YOU HEAR THE IDEA THAT THE STATE IS SAYING, HEY, GUYS. PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
GUYS AND GALS, PEOPLE, LEGISLATORS. BECAUSE IT HAS AN IMPACT AND IT DOES HAVE AN IMPACT. WHEN I HEAR A RULE LIKE THAT, IT AND IT COULD BE JUST A LOCAL JURISDICTION. I'M NOT GOING TO SAY WHO, WHEN, WHAT, HOW. IT REALLY CAUGHT ME. WOW.
WE HAVE TO BE MINDFUL OF THIS. THE LEGISLATORS SITTING HERE, MAKING RULES AND PROCEDURE. THAT HAS AN IMPACT. THAT IS AN ISSUE. IT DOES NOT SEEM LIKE A BIG ISSUE, BUT IT IS AN ISSUE.
WHAT HAS NOT BEEN AN ISSUE, IN MY NUMBER OF YEARS , ALL MY LIFE BEING IN THE CONSTRUCTION CHAIR . I FOUND IT TO BE SURPRISING THAT IT CAME OUT AS AN ISSUE. SO IF SOMEONE IS MAKING A RULE ON THIS ISSUE. WELL, I HEARD ABOUT IT LOCALLY.
