>> THE FIRST ITEM IS COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC.

>> THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY OF THE PUBLIC TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION. YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. YOU WILL GET A 10 SECOND WARNING. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, MR.

WILSON. >> THANK YOU. MY NAME IS CHARLES WILSON. MY ADDRESS IS GOING TO BE THE SUBJECT OF SOME OF WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT. MY ADDRESS IS 1031 BOX 121 HUTCHINSON ISLAND FLORIDA. I AM REPRESENTING A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE THAT HUTCHISON ISLAND IS A VERY IMPORTANT ASSET FOR THE CITY. JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA, IF HUTCHINSON IVAN WERE A CITY IN ITSELF, IT WOULD BE THE THIRD-LARGEST CITY IN THE COUNTY. IT HAS 1000 RESIDENTS, 5000 RESIDENTIAL UNITS, 200 BUSINESSES AND A GREAT MANY IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE PENDING. I REPRESENT A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO , FROM BUSINESS LEADERS, RESIDENTS, MARKETING EXPERT AND ENVIRONMENTAL INTERESTS WHO ALL BELIEVE THAT HUTCHINSON ISLAND IS AN ASSET OF THE CITY THAT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT BUT ALSO IN DANGER. THE REASON IT IS IN DANGER IS BECAUSE DAVE'S NAME IS BEING STOLEN. HUTCHINSON ISLAND, PEOPLE WHO WANT TO VISIT HUTCHINSON ISLAND OR ASK ABOUT HUTCHINSON ISLAND ARE BEING DIRECTED TO JENSEN BEACH, FLORIDA, BOTH BY SOCIAL MEDIA AND BY STATE AGENCIES. SO WHAT IS HAPPENING IS, HUTCHINSON ISLAND IS LOSING ITS ACTUAL NAME AND ITS ATTACHMENT TO THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE. IF THIS CONTINUES TO DO SO, WE WILL LOSE HUTCHINSON ISLAND AS A FUTURE DESTINATION. THAT PEOPLE WILL KNOW ABOUT. UM, THAT MEANS, THE REASON I AM HERE AT YOUR MEETING IS BECAUSE ON 17 NOVEMBER, TOMORROW I WILL BE MEETING WITH THE COMMISSIONERS. ON 17 NOVEMBER, I HAVE ASKED FOR TIME FROM THE CITY MANAGER TO APPEAR BEFORE THE COUNTY COMMISSION TO BE ABLE TO PRESENT TO THEM WHAT THIS GROUP IS DOING AND WHAT THEY HAVE ACCOMPLISHED SO FAR, WHICH IS PRETTY ASTOUNDING. THERE WILL BE A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT THAT WILL HAVE TO DO WITH THE FUTURE FOR THE NEXT 100 YEARS.

WE WILL BE WORKING ON SOME THINGS, WHICH WILL BE THE SAME THAT THIS GROUP, THIS ORGANIZATION, THE FPRA, IS DOING, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO SIGNAGE. SIGNAGE AND THE ORANGE AVENUE ENTRYWAY , UM, A LOT OF THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT MAY BE CHANGED BY THE ANNOUNCEMENTS WE WILL MAKE ON THE 17TH, PROVIDED WE ARE ALLOWED TO DO THAT. IF , FOR ANY REASON, WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO GO BEFORE THE COMMISSION, WE WILL MAKE THE ANNOUNCEMENT DIRECTLY. WE WANT TO GO TO THE COMMISSION BECAUSE WE WANT YOU TO BE INVOLVED AS PARTNERS AND WE WANT TO BE FULLY RESPECTFUL OF YOUR LEADERSHIP ROLE IN THE COMMUNITY. WHAT WE ARE PLANNING ON DOING AND WHAT WE ARE PLANNING ON ANNOUNCING WILL BE VERY, VERY IMPORTANT AND VERY, VERY DIFFERENT . THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

NEGOTIATIONS ON THIS? >> I DID, ALONG WITH MS.HARNAGE

. MS.HARNAGE AND I NEGOTIATED. >> GOOD JOB, GUYS. THIS IS A GOOD ACQUISITION FOR THE CITY. I WILL NOT GO UNDER DETAILS BECAUSE IT IS NOT SIGNED, SEALED AND DELIVERED. HOWEVER, IT IS NOT REALLY A HOWEVER CLAUSE, I AM SUGGESTING THIS ACQUISITION ROUNDS OUT THAT PARTICULAR QUORUM. I HAVE OBSERVED THE CONDITIONS NEXT DOOR. WHAT I WILL REQUEST, MR. CHESS, IS THAT , THAT IS THE TYPE OF PRODUCT I DEAL WITH EVERYDAY, THAT IS WHAT WE DO, RENOVATE PROPERTIES LIKE THAT. I WOULD LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET IN THERE AND SEE THE CONDITION AND WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO STABILIZE THAT PROPERTY. FOR EXAMPLE, I KNOW IT NEEDS A NEW ROOF SYSTEM. I SAW THAT FROM THE ROOF OF THE HIGHWAYMEN MUSEUM BUILDING AND I SAW SOME MINOR STRUCTURAL DEFICIENCIES THAT NEED TO BE DEALT WITH BUT I WOULD LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET IN THERE AND TAKE A LOOK AROUND AND I CAN GIVE MY IDEAS TO THE COMMISSION ONCE I GET MY EYES ON IT .

MUCH NEEDED IMPROVEMENT THERE IN GETTING THAT WHOLE THING FIGURED OUT. I JUST GUESS, SO WE ARE , THE DELAY OF THIS TO WAIT UNTIL SCHOOL ENDS IS WHY WE HAVE TO APPROVE THIS LEVEL OF FUNDING, EXTENSION, IS THAT CORRECT?

>> THE FUNDING HAS ALREADY BEEN APPROVED.

>> OKAY. >> IS JUST THE TIME FRAME. WAS A STARTER GOING INTO IT, MY GOSH, THE BULK OF THE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE WHILE ST.

>> YOU HAVE A SPECIFIC START DATE?

>> I DO NOT. >> IT'S ST. LUCIE COUNTY, WE ARE PARTNER BUT ST. LUCIE COUNTY IS TAKING THE LEAD.

>> THAT IS EXACTLY RIGHT. THEY REACHED OUT TO ME AS A REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY, IT IS IN OUR CORRIDOR AND REDEVELOPMENT PLAN. WE APPROVED THIS FUNDING AGREEMENT TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE PROJECT. THEY ARE USING A MYRIAD OF FUNDING SOURCES, WE ARE JUST ONE PART OF THAT. THEY ARE TAKING A LEAK, PROCURING THE CONTRACTOR AND DOING ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING.

[D. Approval of the Highwaymen Museum Artist Services Agreement with Street Art Revolution LLC in the amount of $25,000 to install a pre-selected image on the east elevation of 1234 Avenue D. ]

[00:10:13]

HIGHWAYMEN MUSEUM ARTIST SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THE STREET ART REVOLUTION, LLC AND THE ABOUT OF $25,000 TO SELECT A PRESELECTED IMAGE ON THE EAST ELEVATION OF AVENUE D. HE MET THIS IS A MURAL, MR. CHESS, RIGHT? ANY DISCUSSION? YES ?

>> WHAT I AM GOING TO SAY, I LIKE THE CONCEPT, OBVIOUSLY.

THIS IS AN ARTIST DESTINATION AND WHAT IS BEING CREATED HERE IS TRULY SPECIAL. HOWEVER, THE TIMING ON THIS IS MY ONLY CONCERN. WE ARE STILL UNDER HEAVY EXTERIOR CONSTRUCTION IN THE PARKING LOT AREAS AND, IN THEORY, THE AREAS BEHIND THE BUILDING WHERE WE WILL BE MOVING A LOT OF EQUIPMENT, DIRT AND ASPHALT AND JUST A LOT OF STUFF, A LOT OF MOVING PARTS GOING ON OUT THERE. I'M JUST A SUGGESTING THAT WE GET THROUGH THAT AND THE START WITH THIS, WHICH IS REALLY KIND OF THE ICING ON THE CAKE, SO TO SPEAK . WE WOULD NOT WANT TO GET IT INSTALLED AND HAVE IT DAMAGED BY WHATEVER WE HAVE THROWING AROUND AND GOING ON OUT THERE. THERE ARE A LOT OF MOVING PARTS TAKING PLACE. I DISCUSSED IT BRIEFLY WITH MARK THAT HIS TEAM IS KEEPING AN EYE ON THAT, AS FAR AS THIS PARKING LOT INSTALLATION, DUMPSTER, NON-ENCLOSURE CONSTRUCTION AND WHILE I AM ON THE TOPIC, WHILE WE ARE SITTING IN THE AUDIENCE TONIGHT I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HEARD MY COMMENTS LAST NIGHT, WHEN I SPOKE TO THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR, I SUGGESTED WE GET PRICING FOR THAT REAR AREA UNDERNEATH THAT LARGE TREE IN THE BACKYARD OF THE MUSEUM , TO GRADE THAT AND INSTALL PAVERS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE AREA, JUST NOT THE , UM, PURCHASE PAVERS THAT PEOPLE PUT NAMES ON AND SUCH BUT TO PAVER THE WHOLE AREA. I THOUGHT I WOULD MAKE A NICE AREA FOR FUNDRAISING EVENTS AND SUCH. THEY SUGGESTED THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE A PRICE ON THAT. I DID MENTION IT TO THE CONTRACTOR BUT THE CONTRACTOR HAD TO GET CLEARANCE FROM YOU AND I DIDN'T HAVE AUTHORITY TO

GIVE THEM DIRECTION ON ANYTHING. >> MR. CHESS WAS PART OF THAT

CONVERSATION. >> I DID MENTION THAT, ACTUALLY, SEVERAL WEEKS AGO WHEN WE DISCUSSED IT. WITH THAT, THERE WAS A QUESTION. DO WE HAVE THE TIME FRAME ON WHEN THE ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION OF THE PARKING LOT AND THE DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE AND ALL HE HEAVY STUFF WAS GOING TO BE DONE? AND MAYBE EVEN PERHAPS WITH THE GRADING, THEY COULD DO THAT WITHOUT. I AM REALLY MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE PAVING AND OTHER STUFF. WE DO HAVE AN IDEA

WHEN THAT IS COMING? >> AND THE START OF THE MURAL

BEING DONE? >> I DON'T HAVE A SCHEDULE FOR THE MURAL. AS FAR AS THE OTHER ITEMS --

>> MY CONCERN IS THAT WHAT PAINT AND DUST DON'T MIX WELL

TOGETHER. >> GOOD EVENING. AUDRIA V.

MOORE, SPECIAL PROJECTS COORDINATOR. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, THE PLAN IS TO WAIT . THE REASON WHY YOU HAVE THIS HERE IS BECAUSE I WANTED TO GO AHEAD AND GET IT APPROVED SO THAT WHEN THE WORK IS DONE ON THE PARKING LOT THAT THEY CAN JUST GO AHEAD AND MOVE IN. WE ARE, THE CONTRACTOR IS COORDINATING WITH THE ARTIST SO THAT THEY CAN LET THEM KNOW WHEN IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR THEM TO COME IN AND BEGIN THE MURAL ON THE BUILDING.

>> THAT IS ALL I NEED TO HEAR. I AM GOOD.

>> WELL YOU ARE HERE, I KNOW THAT ONE OF THE OBSERVATIONS I DISCUSSED WITH THE PROJECT MANAGER OVER THERE WAS THE RELOCATION OF THE BACKFLOW PREVENTER TO THE EASTERN BOUNDARY OF THE PARK DOES MY PROPERTY.

>> YES, SIR. >> THAT WAS NOT TO BE A SIMPLE TASK. CAN YOU JUST GIVE ME AN UPDATE? THAT IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT COULD ACTUALLY CAUSE DELAYS. IT IS NOT AN EASY PROCESS TO UNDERTAKE. THE FPU WAY IS INVOLVED IN THIS, I ASSUME. ARE WE INSTALLING IT, WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THAT?

>> THE BACK FLOW PREVENTER HAS BEEN RELOCATED.

>> SINCE LAST WEEK? OKAY. >> IT WILL BE A CHANGE ORDER THAT IS COMING FORTH BECAUSE FPUA SAYS THEY CANNOT CONNECT .

WE HAVE TO HIRE A PLUMBER TO CONNECT . AND I HAVE SPOKEN WITH OUR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT. JASON AND I, WE WENT OUT TO THE SITE AND HE SAID, WE CAN'T DO IT BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A

LICENSE. >> WE NEED A PLUMBER.

>> YES. HE TOLD ME HAVE THE CONTRACTOR TO GIVE US A PRICE .

HE WILL TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND LET ME KNOW HOW WE SHOULD MOVE FORWARD. IN ADDITION TO THAT, THERE ISN'T RIGHT NOW, WORK IS HALTED BECAUSE OF THE DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE. THEY, I THINK BUILDING WAS RECOMMENDING A LARGER DUMPSTER AND SO I GOT WITH PUBLIC WORKS AND WE WENT OUT THERE, JASON AND I WENT OUT

[00:15:07]

THERE TO THE SITE AND JASON SAID HE IS FINE WITH THE SMALLER DUMPSTER SIZE . BECAUSE THEY REALLY DON'T NEED A LARGE

DUMPSTER. >> TWO CUBIC YARDS?

>> YEAH. >> I SAW IT LINED OUT AND IT IS SMALL. CANDIDLY, IF THAT IS SUFFICIENT FOR THE USE, THAT IS ALL YOU NEED. WE DON'T NEED AN EIGHT CUBIC YARD DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE BECAUSE THAT WILL IMPEDE IN THIS NEW AREA AND THE BACK THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE RENOVATED AND USED FOR OTHER TYPES OF FUNCTIONS. YOU KNOW, YOU PUT AN EIGHT CUBIC YARD DUMPSTER AND IT WILL LOOK LIKE THOSE BEHIND THE BISTRO AREA WE DON'T NEED THOSE THERE. I AGREE WITH THE DECISION TO KEEP IT

SMALLER. >> RIGHT NOW, THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT IS REVIEWING THE REVISIONS TO THE PLANS IN REFERENCE TO THAT. SO, UM, THAT IS WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW.

HOPEFULLY, IT WILL BE DONE QUICKLY.

>> I WANT TO DO THE PAD PORT SO WE CAN DO THE PARKING LOT

IMPROVEMENTS. >> YES.

>> OKAY. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY.

>> THANK YOU. >> MAY BE A COMMENT, SO A COUPLE THINGS. WE WILL HOPEFULLY GET MORE CLOSE. I AM OKAY WITH THE CHANGE ORDER, I DID IT. HOPEFULLY WE GET MORE QUOTES ABOUT THE PLUMBING, RIGHT? AS OPPOSED TO A CONTRACTOR DOING IT, CAN WE GET A LICENSED PLUMBER PERIOD OUT TO DO THAT

WORK ? >> WE COULD. THEY ALREADY HAVE A PLUMBER THAT IS PART OF THEIR --

>> NEVERMIND. THE OTHER THING, IS THE PADDING AND THE ACTUAL TREE AREA, I GOT EXCITED ABOUT THAT LAST NIGHT. I THINK THAT COULD BE A REALLY NICE AREA FOR RECEPTIONS. SO WHATEVER THE GRADE IS ON THAT, I AM JUST CURIOUS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THAT IS A PART OF IT. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? IS THERE A MOTION?

>> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND.

>> CALLED THE ROLL, PLEASE. >>

>> I JUST HAVE A COMMENT REALLY QUICKLY ON CURTIS ' COMMENT ABOUT THE BACKFLOW PREVENTER -- IT HAD TO BE RELOCATED. A CHANGE ORDER PERTAINING TO THAT, THEY SHOWED IT TO ME AND I SAID, OKAY, SHOULD HAVE BEEN CONTEMPLATED BEFOREHAND, BUT IT NEEDS TO BE DONE. IT IS ABSOLUTELY IN THE WRONG LOCATION, RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE MAIN ENTRANCE OF THE FACILITY.

YOU GOT TO GET IT OUT OF THERE. THEY ARE MOVING IT DOWN TO THE FIRE SPRINKLER RISERS WHERE IT SHOULD BE. AS THE RIGHT THING TO

DO. >> I AM NOT SAYING ANYTHING, I AM JUST TURNING TO THE LEFT AND LOOKING DOWN THERE, OKAY, WHAT

[00:30:03]

COMMITTEE. IN A PREVIOUS FPRA MEETING, YOU INSTRUCTED ME TO MAKE SURE IT WAS CLEAR TO THE CRA ADVISORY COMMITTEE THAT JUST BECAUSE THEY MEET THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS, THEY SHOULDN'T JUST AUTOMATICALLY RECOMMEND THESE APPLICATIONS FOR AWARD .

THEY HAD THESE APPLICATIONS TO SHOW SUBSTANTIAL VISIBLE IMPROVEMENTS THAT GO ABOVE AND BEYOND THE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND THAT THEY SHOULD REDUCE BLIGHT WITHIN THE FPRA DISTRO.

THESE FOUR WERE ALSO EVALUATED FROM THE SAME COMMITTEE WITH A MAXIMUM POINT OF 600. WE USED THE SAME EVALUATION CRITERIA, VISUAL IMPACT 50 POINTS, TOTAL PROJECT INVESTMENT 25 POINTS, DESIGN AND CREATIVITY 15 POINTS AND COMMUNITY IMPACT AND PUBLIC BENEFIT TEMPLATES.

CURRENTLY, VACANT OFFICE SPACE. THEY ARE LOOKING TO REPAIR THE SIDING, REPAINT THE EXTERIOR, REPAIR THE HANDICAP RAMP THE FAÇADE AND SPRINKLER SYSTEM. MANY COMMENTS ARE INCLUDED, RECOMMENDED DENIAL AND THEIR COMMENTS WERE, PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS WERE PRIMARILY STANDARD MAINTENANCE RATHER THAN TRANSFORMATIVE ENHANCEMENTS. THE COMMITTEE ENCOURAGED A MORE CREATIVE APPROACH CONSISTENT WITH THE PROGRAM'S INTENT. THEY RECOMMENDED FOR RESUBMISSION WITH A MORE DETAILED LANDSCAPING PLAN WITH ADDITIONAL TREES AND REFINED PAINT COLORS TO ENHANCE THE CURB APPEAL IF THE APPLICANT CHOSE TO DO SO. THE NEXT APPLICATION IS LOCATED AT 515 SOUTH INDIAN RIVER DRIVE. CROWNMAN FL, LLC. THIS IS THE VIEW FROM INDIAN RIVER DRIVE. THIS APPLICATION SCORED 330 POINTS OUT OF 600.

YOU CAN VIEW IT CLOSER TO INDIAN RIVER DRIVE. INSTALLING EXTERIOR LIGHT FIXTURES, INSTALLING A DECK AND SIDEWALK, REPAVING AND RESTRIPING THE PARKING LOT, ADDING ADA PARKING SPACES, INSTALLING A BIKE RACK AND INSTALLING PERMANENT LIGHT. THE COMMITTEE COMMENTS. THE APPLICANT DESCRIBED THE PROJECT AS A LUXURY BED AND BREAKFAST. THE CRA ADVISORY COMMITTEE NOTED THAT CURRENT PLANS DO NOT YET REFLECT THAT STANDARD. THEY HAD STRONG RECOMMENDATIONS TO RESUBMIT WITH AN UPGRADED LANDSCAPING PLAN AND EMPHASIS ON ADDITIONAL FAÇADE IMPROVEMENTS, IF APPROVED, THINGS LIKE DECORATIVE WALL SHUTTERS, CANOPIES OVER WINDOWS AND OTHER ENHANCEMENTS. THE GOAL IS TO ACHIEVE THE LEVEL OF QUALITY EXPECTED FOR A LUXURY PROPERTY ALONG INDIAN RIVER DRIVE.

THEIR TOTAL INVESTMNT IS $58,000. THIS BUILDING USE IS CURRENTLY USED, A PORTION OF THE BUILDING IS CURRENTLY USED FOR OFFICE SPACE FOR COUNSELING. THEY WANT TO REPAVE AND RE-STRIKE THIS PARKING LOT HERE ALONG SIXTH STREET. COMMITTEE COMMENTS. THE COMMITTEE REVIEWED THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS AND DETERMINED THIS WITH GENERAL MAINTENANCE ITEMS AND THEY SHOULD RECONSIDER RESUBMITTING WITH ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS THAT MEET THE INTENT OF THE PROGRAM. AND LASTLY, WE HAVE 616 ATLANTIC AVENUE, DANCE MINISTRIES, LLC. THEY SCORED 223 POINTS OUT OF 600. THE GRANT REQUEST IS FOR 10,000 873 $.50. THE TOTAL INVESTMENT 21,000 746 $.99.

THEY WANT TO REPAVE AND RESTART THE PARKING LOT HERE ALONG ATLANTIC AVENUE. AND THEN ADD PERMANENT LANDSCAPING, IRRIGATION ALONG SIXTH STREET AND ALSO HERE ADJACENT TO THE

[00:35:01]

PARKING LOT. THE PROPOSED COMMITTEE COMMENTS INCLUDED THE PROPOSED PARKING LOT IMPROVEMENTS WERE ALSO CONSIDER GENERAL MAINTENANCE. THE LANDSCAPING ENHANCEMENTS THEY WERE PROPOSING WERE NOT VISIBLE TO THE PUBLIC. THE COMMITTEE SUGGESTED REMOVING THE SHADE FENCE TO IMPROVE AND INCREASE AND IMPROVE THE IMPROVEMENTS OR REPLACE IT WITH AN ORNAMENTAL FENCE FOR AESTHETIC APPEAL. WE ARE HERE BEFORE YOU TO REVIEW THE CRA ADVISORY COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATIONS AND PROVIDE DIRECTION ON THESE FOUR APPLICATIONS ON NEXT STEPS . I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

>> CORRECT. >> AND THEY GO BACK TO THE

COMMITTEE ? >> YES. CORRECT.

>> THEY CAN SAY, I WILL MAKE THOSE CHANGES OR THESE CHANGES

OR SOMEHOW RESUBMIT? >> YES. WE ALLOW . WE ALLOWED ANOTHER APPLICANT A COUPLE MONTHS AGO TO MAKE CHANGES TO THEIR APPLICATION SO WE COULD ALLOW THESE FOUR APPLICATIONS TO RESUBMIT CHANGES AND BRING THEM BACK BEFORE YOU.

>> THE ONE ON CROWNMAN FL, LLC, INDIAN RIVER DRIVE, THERE IS AN EMAIL THAT JUST CAME IN WHILE I WAS SITTING HERE. I READ IT QUICKLY, THEY ARE SAYING THE COMMITTEE DID NOT HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION AND THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO GET IN THE REVIEW OR BE THERE. SO I THINK IF WE DENY THIS, WE ENCOURAGE THEM TO CONSIDER WHAT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED AND ALSO IF THERE HAS NOT BEEN , UM, COMPLETE INFORMATION, THEY HAVE A CHANCE TO PROVIDE COMPLETE INFORMATION, IS THAT RIGHT?

>> ADDITIONAL RENDERINGS, IF YOU WANT TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL RENDERINGS. WE CAN PRESENT THEM TO THE CRA ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND COME BEFORE YOU AGAIN FOR A SECOND LOOK.

>> THAT IS FINE. >> PEOPLE ARE PUTTING TOGETHER THEIR VISION OF WHAT THEY WANT THEIR PROPERTY TO BE.

>> I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT TO YOU --

>> WE HAVE SOME INPUT TO SUGGEST, IF YOU GO IN THIS DIRECTION, YOU WILL BE OKAY. THAT WOULD MEET THE INTENT OF

THE PROGRAM. >> IN ADDITION TO WHAT THE CRA

ADVISORY COMMITTEE DID. >> WE WILL SEE EXACTLY WHERE THIS BODY SETS AND THEY CAN RESUBMIT THE CRA , IT'S A MONTH, THEY CAN GET BACK IN FRONT OF THE CRA AND BACK HERE AGAIN. I JUST THINK IT IS PROPER COURTESY TO GIVE THEM EACH PROPER CONSIDERATION AS SUGGESTIONS AS TO WHAT WE WOULD

LIKE TO SEE FOR IMPROVEMENT. >> SO DO YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO

THE FIRST ONE THEN? >> ALI. THAT WAS 1217 DELAWARE AVENUE, EJ09, LLC. THESE WERE THEIR PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS .

AND THEN THESE WERE THE COMMITTEE COMMENTS. THE

RECOMMENDATIONS. >> I AM QUITE FAMILIAR WITH THIS PROPERTY. THIS BUILDING IS TWO BLOCKS AWAY FROM MY OFFICE AND IT IS MY PERSONAL OBSERVATION, BEING A NEIGHBOR HERE, THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE CRA, I THINK, IS ACTUALLY SPOT ON.

RECOMMEND RESUBMISSION WITH A DETAILED LANDSCAPING PLAN. IT IS A BARREN WASTELAND THERE. I THINK IF THEY WERE TO ADDRESS THE LANDSCAPING WITH ADDITIONAL TREES, REFINED PAINT COLORS, SO WE CAN ACTUALLY SEE WHAT THEY ARE PAINTING IT, TO ENHANCE CURB APPEAL. THOSE MINOR CHANGES TO THIS PROPERTY WILL MAKE AN

EXTENSIVE DIFFERENCE. >> THE PAINTING WOULD BE GREAT.

>> I AM SUGGESTING WE SEND IT BACK REINFORCING THE

RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE CRA. >> YEAH, SO, I ACTUALLY LOOKED AT THE ACTUAL APPLICATION. THAT WAS MY QUESTION. THIS IS WHAT YOU PULL FROM THE APPLICATION TO GIVE US AN IDEA OF WHAT IT WOULD

KIND OF LOOK LIKE, RIGHT? >> CORRECT.

>> OKAY, THERE WERE A FEW MORE PICTURES, TO BE I SAW IT IN THE ACTUAL APPLICATION THEY PRESENTED AND WALKED US THROUGH.

I WOULD ECHO THE SENTIMENT I HEAR HERE, KNOWING THIS PROPERTY, IT HAS BEEN BARREN FOR A LONG TIME, RIGHT?

>> VACANT FOR A LONG TIME. >> I CAN CERTAINLY SEE, I AM ENCOURAGED BY SPRINKLER SYSTEM TO GET THERE FOR WATER TO GET THE GRASS TO GROW. IT IS A BUSINESS, RIGHT? ISN'T A BAIL

BOND BUSINESS? >> IT WAS. HE IS LOOKING TO

LEASE IT. >> FOR COMMERCIAL BUSINESS, ALL RIGHT. I JUST NEED A LITTLE MORE THE DETAIL OF WHAT MY FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS HAVE SAID TO UNDERSTAND TO GET THE VISUAL AND THE CONCEPT . SO FAR, IT HAS A DECENT CURB APPEAL DRIVING BY.

THE LANDSCAPING IS KIND OF WHAT IS OFF . THESE TREES IN THE

[00:40:03]

BACK, IT DOES NOT GIVE IT JUSTICE. I THINK THERE IS MORE WE CAN KIND OF UNDERSTAND AND HAVE THE PUBLIC UNDERSTAND.

>> AND MY HOPE IS THAT BY DRIVING THIS , IT WILL CONTINUE LONGEVITY. THIS BUILDING HAS BEEN VACANT FOR AS LONG AS I HAVE BEEN IN MY OFFICE, 10, 12 YEARS.

>> IT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS A TIN ROOF .

>> IT'S A METAL ROOF. >> I AM CURIOUS. IF YOU GO BACK TO THE BEFORE PICTURE, THE OTHER PICTURE, AND WE LOOK AT WHAT WE ARE SAYING NOW, HOW VACANT IT IS AND THEN YOU GO TO THIS PICTURE, WHAT IT IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE AND IF I CAN GET , THEY ARE ASKING $6000 AND I CAN GET THEM TO PUT A TOTAL OF $12,000 IN TO GET IT TO LOOK LIKE THIS, RIGHT NOW, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE ARE NOT DOING IT. I UNDERSTAND THE SCORE. IF I CAN GET IT TO LOOK LIKE THIS RIGHT NOW IN THAT AREA, IT IS GOING TO ENHANCE THE CAPABILITY OF THEM TRY TO PUT SOMEBODY IN THAT BUILDING. IT WILL ALSO ENHANCE THE AREA WHERE IT IS BECAUSE IF YOU GO IN AND PUT IN NEW SOD, SPRINKLER SYSTEM AND ALL OF THAT, YOU GOTTA GET THE TREES AND ALL THE OTHER STUFF . SO MY QUESTION IS, ARE WE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT COLOR PAINT THEY ARE GOING TO

USE? >> WE ARE BACK TO THE

RECOMMENDATIONS. >> WHAT COLOR PAINT THEY ARE GOING TO USE. IF I CAN GET SOME GRASS LOOKING LIKE THAT NOW AFTER WHAT IS OUT THERE RIGHT NOW I WOULD BE VERY HAPPY BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE RIGHT NOW. I AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT MORE WOULD YOU WANT? THE COLOR OF THE PAINT?

>> THE DETAILS OF THE LANDSCAPING, THEY ARE PUTTING IN SOD. YOU CAN PUT A COUPLE TREES AND IT WILL LOOK LIKE 1 MILLION

BUCKS. >> IT SAYS ADDITIONAL TREES, THEY'RE NOT PUTTING TREES BUT THE COMMITTEE IS RECOMMENDING IT. THERE I WILL JUST MAKE A NOTATION THEY ARE PUTTING IN X, Y, Z TREES. YOU DON'T NEED A LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT'S RENDERING. WE CAN FIGURE IT OUT .

>> OBVIOUSLY, THIS IMAGE WAS GENERATED USING A.I. I WOULD SAY THAT RIGHT NOW, THAT IS AN A.I. GENERATED PICTURE.

>> I KNOW THIS IS NOT WHAT THEY SUBMITTED. I UNDERSTAND THAT. IT IF I CAN GET THIS FOR $6000 FROM WHEN I GOT OUT THERE NOW, THEY PUT THE OTHER SIX IN AND WE GET THERE, ALL I AM SAYING IS, OKAY, GUYS, LET'S GET THIS BUT IF IT'S NOT AND WE WANTED GO BACK, WHAT I AM HEARING IS, YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT TYPE OF LANDSCAPING YOUR PUT IN AND WHAT COLOR PAINT.

>> THAT'S IT. >> I CAN DO WITH THAT.

>> AND RESUBMIT. WE ARE INCLINED TO WANT TO APPROVE IT.

>> GIVE US A COUPLE MORE DETAILS AND YOU GOT A GOOD PROJECT.

>> WE ARE GOOD. >> JUST TO BE CLEAR, THEY PROVIDED THE RENDERING. I DID NOT CREATE IT.

>> THAT IS FINE, I KNOW THAT. WE ARE NOT SAYING YOU DID IT BUT WHAT I AM SAYING IS, I KNOW WHERE THIS PROPERTY IS. I COULD DRIVE BY IN A COUPLE WEEKS , A MONTH AND SEE THIS, I WOULD BE HAPPY WITH IT, WITH WHAT I GOT OUT THERE NOW, I GET IT. WE WENT A LITTLE MORE DETAIL OF THE TYPE OF LANDSCAPING AND WHAT COLOR

PAINT. >> ALL RIGHT. WE WILL VOTE ON

EACH ONE AS WE GO ? >> WE WILL JUST MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION TO GO BACK TO THE CRA AND HAVE THEM BRING IT BACK.

>> THESE HAVE ALREADY BEEN DENIED, MADAM CHAIR.

>> WE EAT -- EITHER NEED TO DENY , CAN YOU HELP US OUT?

>> MADAM CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD BY WITH THINK SINCE YOU ARE GOING THROUGH THEM, IT WOULD BE BETTER TO ADDRESS ONE WITH EACH INDIVIDUALLY WITH A MOTION. YOU COULD DENY IT OUTRIGHT, YOU COULD DENY IT WITH DIRECTION TO GO BACK FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. OR ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS. OR YOU COULD APPROVE IT. YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO ALL THREE OR IN BETWEEN.

>> THANK YOU. >> I SUGGEST WE DENY IT, RECOMMEND IN BACK WITH THE ADDITIONS WE ARE REQUESTING AND

BRING IT BACK TO THE CRA. >> CALLED THE -- CALL THE ROLL,

PLEASE. >>

>> MADAM CHAIR? >> YES .

>> I JUST LOOKED BACK AT THE APPLICATION AND IT GAVE ME MORE DEFINITION OF WHAT THEY TOOK AS INITIAL PICTURES OF IT AND COMMISSIONER GAINES, I STILL STAND ON THE POINT THAT WHAT I SAW, WHAT I SEE HERE IN THIS APPLICATION, A FEW TREES, THIS WOULD BREAK THAT UP AND GIVE SOME DEPTH TO IT, IT WOULD HELP.

>> I SAW THAT PICTURE. >> I WANT US TO SEE IT IN THE

[00:45:08]

APPLICATION SO WILL WE GET TO THE NEXT ONE, WE CAN PULL UP THE

ACTUAL APPLICATION. >> THE PICTURE WE PUT IN THAT PACKET, I SAW THAT PICTURE AND THIS PICTURE. IF I CAN GET THIS RIGHT NOW OVER THAT, I WOULD TAKE IT. TOO THAT BOX SIGN MOUNTED ON THE FRONT FENCE IS A VIOLATION. THERE IS NO WAY THEY GOT APPROVED THROUGH HISTORICAL PRESERVATION. THAT IS GONE AND

THAT PICTURE. >> FROM LOOKING AT THESE TWO PICTURES PRESENTED TO ME, MY GOD, IF WE CAN GET THIS, I WOULD BE HAPPY. I GOT YOU NOW. WE MADE OUR MOTION AND WE ARE GOOD.

>> THEY KNOW WHAT THEY NEED TO DO. IF THEY BRING IT BACK WITH

THAT, IT WILL GET APPROVED. >> YOU ARE CLEAR. LET'S MOVE

ON. >> WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE 515 SOUTH INDIAN RIVER DRIVE. THESE ARE THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS .

THESE ARE THE COMMITTEE COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATION.

>> IT SAYS STRONG RECOMMENDATION TO RESUBMIT.

>> AGAIN , I DON'T NEED A LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT PLAN. I AM HOPING THAT THE CRA IS NOT ASKING FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

WE GET LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURAL PLANS ON NEW CONSTRUCTION. WE JUST NEED A MARKUP TO SEE IF THEY ARE INCREASING THE LANDSCAPING PACKAGE, WHICH I THINK IS A GOOD RECOMMENDATION.

I THINK THEY CAN JUST MARKUP THE PLAN AND TELL US WHAT WILL BE PUT THERE. IT IS FAIRLY SIMPLISTIC. YOU GET INTO DECORATIVE WALL SHUTTERS AND CANOPIES OVER WINDOWS, THAT IS A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT. THAT IS A LOT OF MONEY. SO I AM MORE INCLINED, I KNOW THIS PROPERTY, AS WELL. IT ACTUALLY FRONTAL TWO STREETS. IT IS KIND OF A UNIQUE SCENARIO. THE BACK BUILDING , I THINK THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE PLANNED FOR THE BACK BUILDING TO MATCH THE FRONT BUILDING, WHICH IS AN ATTRACTIVE STRUCTURE ON INDIAN RIVER DRIVE, I THINK WILL ENHANCE THE PROPERTY OF ALL. MORE IMPORTANTLY, ON THAT BACKSTREET, IS THAT ORANGE? SECOND ? AT THAT POINT, I THINK, IS A BIG IMPROVEMENT FOR THE NEIGHBORS OVER IN THAT AREA FROM AN IS HEADACHES THE EMPLOYEE. I LIKE THE IMPROVEMENTS ON THE BACK BUILDING. I DO AGREE WITH MAYBE SOME LANDSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS WHAT KIND OF SET OFF BASICALLY BALANCE OUT THE ENTIRE PROJECT TO GIVE IT BETTER CURB APPEAL ALL THE WAY AROUND.

I WOULD GO ALONG WITH THE IMPROVEMENTS OF THE BUILDING IS POSED, WITH JUST AN ENHANCED LANDSCAPE PACKAGE . AND NOT LOOKING FOR SOMEBODY TO START INSTALLING DECORATIVE SHUTTERS AND AWNINGS. THAT STUFF IS EXPENSIVE.

>> MADAM CHAIR? >> YES.

>> AGAIN, I AM LOOKING AT THE APPLICATION. I SAW WHAT THEY PUT IN THERE, LANDSCAPE SHOULD E MORE SUBSTANTIAL THAN WHAT IS SHOWN BUT THEY SHOW A GOOD PICTURE FROM THE FRONT. I GUESS THIS IS PROBABLY THE FRONT ON INDIAN RIVER DRIVE AS YOU DRIVE BY . I DIDN'T SEE THAT IN THIS APPLICATION. SO RIGHT IN THIS PICTURE HERE, WHAT I SEE ON OUR PRESENTATION PACKET IS MUCH MORE

ENHANCED THAN WHAT IS HERE. >> ARE YOU SAYING THAT IS THE

LANDSCAPE PACKAGE? >> THAT IS IN THEIR APPLICATION

PACKET. >> THAT IS A BIG DIFFERENCE.

>> THAT IS JUST THE FRONT. >> IF THAT IS A PACKAGE THEY ARE

PUTTING IN THE STAKE >> LET'S GO THROUGH THOSE

PICTURES. >> WAS THAT CONSIDERED BY THE

CRA? >> I AM JUST ASKING QUESTIONS, I DON'T KNOW. THERE WAS THAT PICTURE INCLUDED IN THE APPLICATION? IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.

>> RIGHT. >> I GUESS WHAT YOU ARE SAYING, CURTIS, IF IT IS COMING IN THAT WAY, THAT IS THE FINAL RESULT, I

AM HAPPY WITH THAT. >> IT IS MUCH BETTER THAN HERE.

I THINK I UNDERSTAND WHERE THEY WOULD GET THAT . ON THE APPLICATION, YOU WILL SEE THERE WAS SOME HANDWRITTEN STUFF ON HERE. MAYBE THEY WERE TRYING TO HIGHLIGHT, YOU KNOW, WHAT SOME OF THE THINGS WERE THAT OBVIOUSLY WERE GOING TO BE ADJUSTED AND LIGHTS CHANGED, ET CETERA. AND THEN I THINK THIS IS STARTING TO BRING IN A RENDERING, OKAY, HERE IS THE BACK OF THE BUILDING THAT FACES THE ONE THAT IS ALREADY GRAY .

AND THEN I THINK THERE IS ANOTHER PICTURE SHOWING THE OTHER BUILDING IN THE BACK ON SECOND STREET. IT LOOKS LIKE IT WOULD BE FINISHED GRAY. AND THEN THE FRONT , WHAT IT WOULD LOOK

LIKE . >> THAT IS ENHANCED LANDSCAPING.

>> IF THAT IS THE END RESULT, I AM THRILLED. THAT IS A PACKAGE IN THE REPRESENTATION THEY ARE MAKING THAT WILL BE THE END RESULT, ALONG WITH THE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE BACK

BUILDING, I AM GOOD WITH THAT. >> I THINK THEY NOTED THERE WILL BE SOME FIXTURES AND THE JACK AND THEY ARE ADDING ANOTHER DECK TO THE OTHER SIDE. THIS PICTURE WOULD BE ON THE RIGHT SIDE, A WHOLE NEW DECK IS GOING IN THERE. SO WHEN I SAW IT, I WAS

[00:50:01]

LIKE, OKAY, IT SEEMS TO BE THERE. AS FAR AS WHAT WE WOULD EXPECT, ESPECIALLY THE DECK ADDING AND THERE WAS SOMETHING

ABOUT ADA IN HERE. >>> AN ADA SPACE.

>> ADA PARKING SPACES . >> WHICH WILL BE THE STICK

>> THE FIRST RENDERING HERE IN THIS SECTION.

>> IS ON THE BIKE RACK OVER HERE, ADDED IN, THE STRIPING.

>> THERE IS A LIST OF THINGS, YEAH.

>> I TEND TO AGREE WITH YOU. WE WILL SAY THAT IS THE END RESULT WE WILL APPROVE, THEN WE SIMPLY HAS -- HAVE TO MAKE THIS AS THE

END RESULT. >> CORRECT. YES, THESE WERE ATTACHED TO THE CRA ADVISORY COMMITTEE 'S APPLICATION SO THEY WERE ABLE TO VIEW THIS. IT WAS JUST NOT PART OF THE FULL PRESENTATION WHEN THEY WERE PRESENTING. IT WAS INCLUDED IN

THEIR APPLICATION. >> YOU DO SLIDE UP A LITTLE BIT, THE OTHER WAY, RIGHT HERE. MOVE THAT.

>> THAT IS THE DECK. >> OKAY. THE LEFT SIDE. OKAY.

YOU KNOW, MADAM CHAIR, THIS, TO ME, RISES, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE SUGGESTIONS THEY MAY, AS FAR AS THAT, I DON'T HOW WE MAKE

INTERPRETATIONS ON THAT . >> WE ARE NOT INTERPRETING ANYTHING. THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE TELLING US WE ARE GOING TO GET WITH A CITI INVESTMENT. I AM GOOD WITH THAT. I WOULD WANT TO USE THIS AS WHAT THE END RESULT IS SUPPOSED TO BE, OKAY?

>> SO WHAT IS THE MOTION? >> NOT DENY BUT APPROVE?

>> LET'S GO BACK TO THE APPLICATION. WHAT IS THE ASK WHAT'S WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT HERE? IS IT REIMBURSABLE?

>> YES, SIR. >> YEAH, OKAY. TOTAL INVESTMENT.

MADAM CHAIR, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS. I WOULD MAKE A MOTION WE APPROVE THIS FOR THE GRANT REQUEST OF 25,000.

>> IS THERE A SECOND? >> SUBJECT TO THIS IS THE END RESULT, CURTIS? THE PICTURES WE JUST DELINEATED AS THE END

RESULT? I WAS SECOND THAT. >> CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE .

OKAY. >> A LITTLE CONFUSING, RIGHT?

>> THE PROOF IS SUBMITTED, PRETTY CLEAR. THANK YOU.

>> SUBMITTED WITH THE PICTURE OF THE OUTCOME.

>> WE ALL DRIVE BY IT SO WE KNOW.

>> OKAY, 300 SOUTH SIXTH. REFRESH OUR MEMORY.

>> THEY WANT TO REPAVE AND RESTART THE PARKING LOT . THEY ARE REQUESTING $25,000. THE TOTAL INVESTMENT IS 58,000 TO

REPAVE AND >>>. THESE WERE THE COMMITTEE COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS. WELL, IT'S REALLY DETERMINING THAT IS JUST GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND NO FAÇADE IMPROVEMENTS. SO THERE'S NO EVEN, IT JUST SAYS THE ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS WOULD BE MORE IMPROVEMENT, LESS BLIGHT .

>> I AM STRUGGLING WITH THIS. GO BACK, PLEASE. I HAVE A QUESTION.

THE BUILDING IS HERE . THEY WANT TO RE-STRIPE THIS PARKING LOT WHICH WOULD BE SOUTH OF THE BUILDING.

>> THAT IS CORRECT . >> THIS AREA BEHIND THAT BELONGS

TO THAT SAME BUILDING. >> CORRECT .

>> IT WILL STILL BE BACK THERE. SO TO RIGHT NOW, THIS IS A HUGE BLOCK IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR CITY ON SECOND STREET DOWN HERE.

THERE IS A LOT OF BEARING, DAY, AND NO PICK LANDSCAPE CURB APPEAL RIGHT NEAR FPU WAY. I AM NOT SURE WHAT RESTRIPING THE PARKING LOT WILL DO. IT LOOKS BAD, DON'T GET ME WRONG.

>> THE FAÇADE . >> ESPECIALLY THE FAÇADE .

>> I AM HAVING A HARD TIME WITH $58,000. THAT IS A SEAL COAT

JOB. >> YEAH. I AM STRUGGLING WITH THIS ONE . SIMPLY BECAUSE I AM NOT GETTING MUCH ON THE CURB APPEAL TO ME. DRIVE BY, I COULD SEE IF WE PUT SOME LANDSCAPING IN HERE, SOME FLOWERS OR SOMETHING TO KIND OF PERK IT UP.

[00:55:04]

RIGHT NOW, IT IS CURRENTLY, I THINK I READ IT IS BEING USED AS SOME COUNSELING IN THERE OR SOMETHING.

>> YES. ONE OTHER SMALL OFFICES OF BEING USED FOR THAT. OTHER THAN THAT, THE BUILDING IS VACANT.

>> I AM NOT STRUGGLING. I THINK WE SHOULD GO WITH CRA'S ADVICE.

THAT THEY CAN RESUBMIT. >> I RECOMMEND, I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE COULD DENY THIS AND ENCOURAGE THE APPLICANT TO

REAPPLY. >> SECOND.

>> CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE . >>

>> THE NEXT ONE, 616 ATLANTIC AVENUE, DANCE MINISTRIES, LLC .

>> SO THE BUILDING, IS THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING THE MURAL? NO.

>> IT'S ON THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING.

>> THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING. >> THIS IS THE FRONT OF THE

BUILDING. >> THIS IS ON SEVENTH.

>> THE MAIN INTEREST IS ON THE SOUTH SIDE, ADJACENT TO THE

PARKING LOT. >> THIS IS THE MAIN ENTRANCE .

>> IS THIS THE PARKING LOT? >> YES.

>> WHAT DID THE CRA ADVISORY COMMITTEE SAY ABOUT IT?

>> YES. THEY INDICATED THAT THE PARKING LOT IMPROVEMENTS WERE CONSIDERED MAINTENANCE. THE LANDSCAPING ENHANCEMENTS THAT THEY WANT TO DO OUR BEHIND THE GATES SO IT WOULD BE BEHIND THIS WALL HERE. IT WOULD NOT BE VISIBLE TO THE PUBLIC. THE LANDSCAPING OVER HERE OFF OF SIXTH STREET WOULD ALSO NOT BE VISIBLE TO THE PUBLIC BECAUSE OF THESE DATES HERE. SO THEY SUGGESTED EITHER REMOVING THE SHADE FENCE TO INCREASE VISIBILITY OR REPLACE IT WITH AN ORNAMENTAL FENCE FOR US ATTIC

APPEAL. >> MADAM CHAIR, I WILL REITERATE YOUR COMMENT . PARKING LOT IMPROVEMENTS IS NOT A FAÇADE GRANT FUNCTION, OKAY? THE FAÇADE, I HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS DEFINITION WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY MULTIPLE TIMES AS TO WHAT DEFINES A FAÇADE . WE HAVE SEEN IT PICTORIALLY, WE HAVE SEEN IT EXPLAINED TO US, WE HAVE SEEN IT OVER AND OVER. PUTTING BLACK SEAL COAT ON THE PARKING LOT AND STRIPING IT DOES NOT IMPROVE IT, PERIOD. IT DOES NOT MEET THE INTENT OF THE PROGRAM .

THAT IS A TRUE STRETCH, AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED.

>> RIGHT. WE STARTED OUT WITH FAÇADE IMPROVEMENT BECAUSE THAT IS THE MAJOR THING. THEN WE SAY YOU CAN ALSO DO THIS, THIS AND THIS AND PEOPLE ARE DOING THE ALSO BUT NOT THE MAJOR.

>> IF IT WERE AN OVERALL PACKAGE OF SOME TYPE OF AESTHETIC APPEAL FOR THE BUILDING ITSELF, I COULD SAY, OKAY, IT'S A PORTION OF IT, AN ANCILLARY PART OF THE PROJECT. THIS IS NOT. THIS IS BRING A SEAL COAT TRUCK, JUST POPPING OUT THE SEAL COAT AND

STRIPING IT. >> AND EVERYTHING THAT WOULD NOT BE VISIBLE TO THE PUBLIC AS YOU DRIVE BY. EVEN IN THE AND DURING -- THE RENDERING, THE LANDSCAPING IS NOT THERE. THERE

IS NO CURB APPEAL. >> IT IS NOT VISIBLE TO THE

PUBLIC. >>> IF YOU PUT IN SOME LANDSCAPING NOW YOU GOT SOMETHING DIFFERENT TO TALK ABOUT POTENTIALLY. THAT IS NOT WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT.

THEY JUST BACKING UP THE SEAL COAT TRUCK.

>> IF THIS IS WHERE WE ARE GOING, WHEN WE ARE PUTTING THESE GRANTS OUT, WE KIND OF NEED TO SAY , DON'T COME ASK FOR A PAVED SIDEWALK OR DRIVEWAY BECAUSE THAT IS NOT WHAT WE ARE GOING TO GRANT FOR A FAÇADE. SO WE NEED TO LET WHOEVER APPLICANT, NO, DON'T SUBMIT, DON'T COME TO THIS BOARD WITH JUST TRYING TO PAVE A PARKING LOT. IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO SOMETHING TO A PARKING LOT, YOU HAD BETTER COME AS YOU SAID, DO SOMETHING BUT JUST A REPAYMENT OF A PARKING LOT, YOU WILL NOT GET APPROVED. I WOULD RATHER HAVE THAT OUT BEFORE AN APPLICANT SUBMITS ALL OF THIS STUFF TO KNOW THAT WE ARE NOT

GOING TO APPROVE IT. >> ISN'T THAT KIND OF INHERENT

WITH THE TERM FAÇADE GRANT? >> APPARENTLY NOT.

>> I AGREE WITH YOU. >> WE ARE DENYING IT, WE HAVE

ANOTHER SIGNAL WE WILL TO DIE. >> AND, SECOND, YOU KNOW, TO TRY TO IMPROVE SOMETHING THAT NO ONE CAN SEE .

[01:00:33]

>> YEAH. >> I UNDERSTAND. I UNDERSTAND THAT. THEY DIDN'T DENY IT. THEY DENIED IT BUT THEY SAID, CRA SAID JUST REMOVE THE FENCE. IF YOU REMOVE THE FENCE, MY QUESTION IS, IF YOU REMOVE THE FENCE, HOW DOES THAT INCREASE THE CURB APPEAL? YOU ARE STILL GOING TO, ALL YOU ARE GOING TO SEE IS THE BUILDING, THE FENCE IS GONE. THE FAÇADE OUTSIDE BUT ON THIS SIDE OF THE BUILDING, THE ENTRANCE, IT WILL STILL LOOK

LIKE THIS. >> THERE MAY BE ONE OTHER SUGGESTION TO HELP YOU HELP US. YOU HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS COMING IN AS A PACKAGE OF IMPROVEMENTS, WE NEED TO DEFINE, IS IT SEAL COAT OR ASPHALT? THERE IS NO WAY THEY ARE RE-ASPHALT THING UP PARKING LOT FOR 20 GRANT. I AM SUGGESTING THAT FOR YOUR OWN INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES SO WE WILL BE AWARE. IT IS BLACKWATER THEY ARE PUTTING DOWN ON THE PARKING LOT IS

BASICALLY WHAT IT IS. >> AND I THINK WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE CRA IS TO REMOVE LIGHT AND A PARKING LOT DOES HELP DO THAT, BUT WHEN THE LEGISLATURE , THEY ARE ALWAYS LOOKING AT CRA TO SEE HOW THEY ARE SPENDING THE MONEY. IF WE ARE HELPING THEM WITH GENERAL MAINTENANCE, IT'S NOW ON RECORD THAT IS WHAT THE CRA ADVISORY COMMITTEE SAYS THIS

IS, IT IS MAINTENANCE. >> I AGREE WITH THEM. THEY MADE

THE RIGHT CALL. >> MADAM CHAIR, PARKING LOTS ARE NOT GOING TO, JUST LET PEOPLE KNOW, PARKING LOTS ARE NOT GOING

TO GET IT. >> ALONE.

>> IS STUCK IN A DO IT UNLESS YOU ARE TRYING TO CREATE SOMETHING THAT BLOWS US AWAY WITH THE PARKING LOT.

>> WE WILL LOOK AT IT BUT THE PARKING LOT, MY SECOND POINT, SO ON ALL OF THESE, I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR. ON EVERYTHING WE HAVE DENIED TODAY, WE ARE NOT DENYING PERMANENTLY. WE ARE GIVING THE APPLICANT A CHANCE AND ADHERE TO US AND RESUBMIT . WHAT I AM HEARING IS, IF THEY RESUBMIT WHAT WE ARE ASKING, WE SHOULD BE HAPPY WITH WHAT COMES BACK . IS THAT WHAT I AM HEARING?

>> THAT IS WHERE I AM COMING FROM.

>> THE CRA >> AROUND THE CONSTRUCTION

BUILDING WHAT WAS THE OTHER ONE? >> FEDEX.

>> THIS IS SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT TO BUILDINGS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. PEOPLE ASKING ME, I AM JUST SAYING, HERE IT IS,

RIGHT HERE. >> YEAH.

>> THAT IS EXACTLY HOW I DESCRIBED THAT.

TO A MEMBER OF THE CRA ADVISORY COMMITTEE, ACTUALLY, HE SPOKE TO ME. HE SAID BECAUSE , YOU PROVIDED THEM, I THINK YOU ACTUALLY TOOK PART OF OUR MEETING AND OUR DISCUSSION AND PROVIDED IT TO THE CRA ADVISORY COMMITTEE SO THEY COULD SEE AND HEAR OUR DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT WE WANTED IN GRANTS AND HE FELT THEY WERE BEING MUCH MORE TRUE TO WHAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DO AND HE FELT THAT WAY. SO THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT. THAT IS

GOING TO HELP EVERYBODY. >> MADAM CHAIR, TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT, I AM PRETTY SURE YOU DO IT BUT I WILL ASK THE QUESTION.

WHEN PEOPLE COME IN FOR THESE GRANTS, DO WE HAND THEM OR DO WE SHOW THEM A 600 OUT OF 600 PROJECT?

>> THIS WAS THE FIRST 600 OUT OF 600 PROJECT. SO IT WILL BE OUR

POSTER CHILD. >> LET'S SHOW THEM WHAT

>> WE NOTICED WHEN WE GO IN AND DO IMPROVEMENTS ON BUILDINGS IN A CERTAIN AREA IT BLEEDS THROUGH. IT CONTINUES TO IMPROVE AROUND US. THAT IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN HERE.

>> AND WE GET CRITICIZED WHEN WE HAVE BUILDINGS THAT DON'T LOOK GOOD AND WHEN THEY ASK, THIS IS WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO CHANGE.

>> THIS IS THE GOVERNMENT-PRIVAT E SECTOR PARTNERSHIP SCENARIO WE

[01:05:01]

HAVE BEEN BEGGING FOR FOREVER, BASICALLY. THESE TYPES OF THINGS WILL SPUR ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES SUCH AS THIS. I FIND IT EXCITING. I LOVE BUILDING RENOVATIONS ANYWAY. I LOVE THE SMELL OF WET CONCRETE IN THE MORNING.

>> I JUST WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR FOR THE APPLICANTS THAT ARE BEING DENIED. JUST COME BACK WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT YOU HEAR FROM US AND LET'S GET IT DONE. THIS IS NOT AN OH.

>> WE WANT TO INVEST IN YOUR PROPERTY.

>> DO I HAVE A MOTION ON THIS ONE?

>> MOTION TO DENY. >> SECOND.

>> CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE. >>

>> JUST TO FOLLOW UP, THEY CAN COME BACK AND GET STARTED AND GET BACK IN FRONT OF US. CAN THEY GET BACK IN FRONT OF US IN

NOVEMBER? >> WE ARE THREE WEEKS AWAY FROM THAT MEETING SO IF THEY CAN PRODUCE IT THEN, WE COULD POSSIBLY CONTINUE IT UNTIL DECEMBER.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO AT LEAST GET BACK IN FRONT OF US, YOU KNOW, THIS YEAR,THIS YEAR IS TAKE

[I. Gateway Signs Update and Direction on Illumination Options]

>> WE HAVE TO EXPEND THOSE FUNDS THIS YEAR, CORRECT?

>> CORRECT. >> GET THEIR FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, THEY CAN BRING IT BACK IN AND WE WILL GET IT TAKEN

CARE OF. >> I DON'T WANT TO GO PAST THIS

YEAR. >> I WILL SCHEDULE MEETINGS THIS

WEEK. >> WOULD WORK.

>> LET'S MOVE ON. NEXT IS GATEWAY SCIENCE UPDATE AND DIRECTION ON ILLUMINATION OPTIONS.

>> YOU HAVE A LEAD-IN FOR THIS?

>> MS. ELGATO HAS A PRESENTATION FOR US.

>> ALL RIGHT. >> THERE IS A TEAM PRESENTATION.

>> YES. >> YOU CAN STAND UP. YOU HAVE

BEEN THERE LONG ENOUGH. >> I JUST WANT TO SAY SOMETHING.

I AM FREEZING IN HERE. >> YOU ARE? I AM NOT FOR ONCE.

SORRY ABOUT THAT. FOR ONCE I AM NOT.

>> ARE YOU SUGGESTING WE COULD TRIM THE BUDGET BY TURNING UP

THE AC? >> YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER. YOU SHOULD KNOW TO BRING A SWEATER OR JACKET.

>> I HAVE MY JACKET. >> MADAM CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE FPRA BOARD, I AM HERE TO BRING YOU AN UPDATE ON THE GATEWAY SIGNS PROGRAM. YOU HAVE SEEN SOME OF OUR SIGNS THAT HAVE GONE UP. TO DATE, WE HAVE INSTALLED 35 INAUDIBLE ] SIGNS AND WE HAVE SERVING GATEWAY SIGNS WITH THE ENTRANCE I WILL SAY WELCOME TO FORT PIERCE. THEY WILL BE DOUBLE-SIDED. THEY WILL SAY WELCOME TO FORT PIERCE AND THE OTHER SIDE WILL SAY THANK YOU FOR VISITING.

>> SO, THE SIGNS HAVE AN ELIMINATION OPTION BUILT INTO THEM . ORIGINALLY, IT WASN'T INTENDED TO LIGHT THEM UP, BUT WE THOUGHT WE WOULD EXPLORE THAT OPTION, TO SEE IF IT IS SOMETHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO PURSUE. THERE IS A COUPLE OPTIONS. THE REASON I AM HERE IS TO KIND OF EXPLAIN THOSE OPTIONS TO YOU TO SEE IF WE WANT TO DO ANY OR A COMBINATION OF THINGS TO PROVIDE A DIFFERENT LOOK TO THIS PROJECT. THE SIGNS ARE CURRENTLY FABRICATED WITHOUT ADDED LIGHTING, BUT THERE IS A BUILT IN OPTION TO PUT THAT INTO IT. SO THE PROS TO OPTION NUMBER ONE, OBVIOUSLY, STICKING WITH THE ORIGINAL PLAN, NO ADDITIONAL COST. THE PROJECT MOVES ON. IT WOULD BE LIMITED VISIBILITY AT NIGHT, ESPECIALLY FROM A DISTANCE. IT WOULD REDUCE VISUAL IMPACT AFTER DARK, DIMINISHED BRANDING OR A WELCOMING PRESENCE FOR NIGHTTIME VISITORS. YOU WOULD SEE IT DURING THE DAY AND AS YOUR HEADLIGHTS ARE HITTING THEM COMING INTO THESE GATEWAYS, BUT THAT IS ABOUT THE EXTENT OF IT.

>> ARE THEY REFLECT ARISE NOW? >> SHE HAS A PICTURE. YOU WILL SEE KIND OF WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT.

>> OPTION NUMBER TWO, ONE OF THE THINGS WE EXPLORED WITH THE INSTALLER, I AM SURE YOU HAVE SEEN THOSE IN OTHER CITIES, THEY HAVE THE SOLAR PANEL, THE GOOD PARTS OF THIS, IT IS A BREAK AWAY KIT SO SOMEONE HITS IT, IT COMPLIES WITH D.O.T. SOLAR MODULES AND PANELS, THE LIFE ON THESE IS EXPANDING TO 20 YEARS.

SO NO POWER IS NEEDED. NO TRENCHING OR DIRECTIONAL BORES TO DO HARDLINES. AND THE CONTRACTOR WHO IS INSTALLING THE

[01:10:13]

SIGNS CAN DO THIS BECAUSE IT IS A LOW-POWER OPTION. IT'S ONLY A COUPLE AMPS WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT, JUST THE SOLAR PANEL PUSHING, CHARGING A BATTERY. SO THE DOWNSIDE TO THAT, OBVIOUSLY, YOU HAVE TO REPLACE BATTERIES NOW AND THEN. ANYBODY WHO OWNS A BOAT, IT'S A DEEP CYCLE BATTERY, YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THEM EVERY THREE TO FIVE YEARS. OBVIOUSLY, THESE ARRAYS CAN BE DAMAGED BY CARS OR STOLEN. THOSE ARE THE DOWNSIDES TO THIS. EACH KIT WOULD BE AROUND 11,300. AGAIN, THE CONTRACTOR WHO IS CURRENTLY INSTALLING THESE SAYS THEY CAN DO THEM IN-HOUSE. WE WOULD HAVE TO BRING IN OTHER ELECTRICIANS OR ANYBODY ELSE ON BOARD. WE WOULD NOT NEED ADDITIONAL PERMITS WITH THE DIRECTION OF WAR. WE COULD BE DONE PRETTY QUICKLY. WE WOULD STAY IN LINE WITH THE TIMEFRAME OF THE PROJECT WE ARE ANTICIPATING.

THAT IS KIND OF A RENDERING OF WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE IF WE WENT WITH THE SOLAR PANEL OPTION. IT'S NOT HUGE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. IT IS PRETTY MINIMAL. YOU CAN LOOK AT IT AS A

GREEN APPROACH. >> HOW MANY OF THESE DO WE HAVE?

11? >> SEVEN.

>> DID THEY SAY HOW OFTEN THEY ARE STOLEN IN OTHER PLACES?

>> IT PROBABLY DEPENDS ON THE AREAS.

>> I JUST SAW THIS SIGN GOING TOWARD TAMPA IN POLK COUNTY.

THEY ARE IMPRESSIVE. I LIKE THE ILLUMINATION AT NIGHT. IT DOES HAVE A LITTLE POP TO IT. WHEN YOU ARE GOING ON 60 AND YOU SEE THIS COMING INTO POLK COUNTY, WHAT ARE THE SEVEN INTERSECTIONS, HAVE WE IDENTIFIED THOSE?

>> WE HAVE TWO U.S. 1, ONE IS OUT, ONE IS NORTH. WE HAVE 21 SOUTH 25TH, NORTH 25TH. AND THEN ONE ON OCEAN DRIVE .

>> OKAY. >> ORANGE AND OKEECHOBEE, TOO,

OFF OF 95. >> THE STREETLIGHTS IN THOSE AREAS. MOST OF THE SIGNS YOU WILL SEE TO SOME DEGREE, I WOULD THINK. IT DEPENDS ON WHAT BOOK WE ARE GOING FOR AND HOW MUCH WE WANT TO INVEST IN THIS. OPTION THREE IS A HYBRID APPROACH.

WHICH THE MAJORITY OF THEM WOULD BE THE HARDWIRED OPTION.

OBVIOUSLY, THERE IS A LOWER MAINTENANCE COST, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BATTERIES, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT PEOPLE HITTING THE SOLAR PANEL. THE REASON WE SAY IT IS A HYBRID APPROACH, THERE IS ONE LINE, WHICH I THINK THEY SAID WAS 800 FEET OR SOMETHING WHERE WE WOULD HAVE TO RUN A LINE. THAT IS WHERE WE SAID LET'S STICK TO THE SOLAR FOR THAT ONE AND MAYBE DO THE HARDWIRED FOR THE OTHER ONES. SO OBVIOUSLY THE PROS TO THIS APPROACH, CONSISTENT ILLUMINATION WITH RELIABLE ELECTRIC POWER ON SITE. YOU KNOW, SORRY, THERE IS SOME TRENCHING AND OTHER THINGS WE HAVE TO DO. BUT IT MAINTAINED AN ATTRACTIVE AND UNIFORM APPEARS ACROSS ALL THE SIGN LOCATIONS.

THERE WILL BE EXTRA CORONATION AMONG MULTIPLE AGENCIES AND D.O.T. WILL BE INVOLVED, PERMITTING AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

IT WOULD PROBABLY EXTEND THE PROJECT TIMELINE. D.O.T. CAN BE DIFFICULT, AT TIMES , TO GET PERMITS AND THINGS THROUGH.

>> REALLY? >> WE WOULD HAVE TO HIRE A SEPARATE ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR. THE CURRENT CONTRACTOR CANNOT O THAT CONNECTION BECAUSE IT'S NETWORKED AND TAPPING INTO THE MAINLINE SO IT'S A HIGH-VOLTAGE CONNECTION. THERE ARE OTHER THINGS INVOLVED IN THIS OPTION. WILL BE ROUGHLY ESTIMATED THE COST FOR THIS SO I WILL NOT GUARANTEE THAT ISWHAT THE TOTAL COST IS, BUT WE THINK IT WILL BE A SIMILAR COST TO DO THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS, AS OPPOSED TO THE SOLAR. SO IT REALLY DEPENDS ON WHAT OPTION YOU GUYS ENJOY OR LIKE. WE CAN GO WITH THAT, BUT WE WANTED TO GET YOUR TAKE ON IT. THERE IS KIND OF A RENDERING OF WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE.

>> I LIKE THE LIGHTED ONE. >> ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED.

>> THE ONLY SOLUTION IS SOLAR. WE WILL NOT GO OUT THERE WITH ALL THE BORING. THE COST, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, YOUR COST ESTIMATE FOR BLOWING ALL THE SIGNS IS SIGNIFICANTLY INADEQUATE. WE WILL GET CHANGED ORDERED OVER THE HEAD WITH THIS THING. THE SOLAR PACKAGE AS A UNIT, IT'S PLUNKED ON THE GROUND, SET IN CONCRETE ON A POST AND THEY RUN 10 FEET OF

[01:15:21]

WIRING AND IT IS DONE. I GET THERE IS ONGOING MAINTENANCE, BUT THIS IS THE WAVE OF THE FUTURE. IT IS GREEN CONSUMPTION AND I THINK LETTING UP THESE ENTRYWAY SIGNS WILL LOOK FABULOUS. I THINK THAT WOULD LOOK GREAT. I WOULDN'T EVEN CONSIDER HARDWIRING THIS STUFF. ARNOLD SAID HE WOULD RUN AN

EXTENSION CORD FROM HIS HOUSE. >> THERE ARE EXTENSION CORDS ON

SALE RIGHT NOW. >> AS COMMISSIONER JOHNSON SAID, I HAVE SEEN THAT LIGHTED UP SIGN GOING INTO POLK COUNTY COMING OFF THAT DARK ROAD. IT IS BRIGHT. IT IS LIT UP AND IT IS

SOLAR. >> IT WOULD LOOK GREAT ON OCEAN.

OKEECHOBEE AND ONE KIND OF WORLD LIT, MAYBE NOT WANT SO MUCH. IT IS KIND OF DARK COMING IN, IT WILL REALLY POP, YEAH. SO, THE PRICE IS PER SIGN, IS THAT PRICE PER SIGN?

>> 1000+? >> THE TOTAL IS $79,340.

>> FOR SEVEN SIGNS? >> FOR EACH BREAK AWAY KIT.

>> THAT IS THE SOLAR EDITION. IT'S HARDWARE, LABOR, EVERYTHING, CONTRACTORS, PRICE . THAT'S IT. THAT IS THE PRICE

THEY GAVE US. >> I AM WAS SOLAR. SO THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL SIGNS, RIGHT? WE HAVE ALREADY IDENTIFIED WHAT SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE YOU WILL BE, WE HAVE IDENTIFIED THE PARCELS AND

EVERYTHING IS CLEAR. >> WE ARE PRETTY CONFIDENT WHERE WE CAN PUT THEM. THEY ARE SMALLER THAN THE SIGN. WE'RE NOT SUPER WORRIED ABOUT THAT BUT WE WILL HAVE TO CHLORINATE THAT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY IS COMFORTABLE WITH WHERE IT IS.

YOU WANT TO KEEP THEM OUT OF PLACE THAT IS NOT DETRACTING FROM THE VISUAL APPEAL OF THE SIGN ITSELF.

>> THAT IS WHERE I WANTED TO GO. WE ARE STILL WORKING THROUGH THAT ON SOME OF THE ACQUISITIONS BASIS FOR THE SIGNS? I AM ALL

FOR IT. >> WE ALREADY HAVE THE LOCATIONS. WE WILL JUST WAITING ON D.O.T.

>> IF IT GOES ON THEIR LAND IN SOME OF THESE CASES, DO WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO MAINTAIN THIS? WHO MAINTAINS THE AREA? I AM MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE AESTHETICS AROUND THE SIGN, THE LANDSCAPING. AND THAT IS GOING TO BE IMPORTANT, THAT BRAND NEEDS TO CONTINUE TO ELIMINATE, LOOK AS FRESH AND GOOD AS THE SIGN WILL LEAD. WE CAN'T HAVE DEAD PLANTS, OVERGROWTH OF WAYS.

THAT IS WHAT I WANT TO KNOW, AND WILL MAINTAIN THIS?

>> WE BEEN WORKING WITH THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR ON THE

LANDSCAPING PLAN. >> I WANT TO BE CLEAR. WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND WHO HAS THE ABILITY TO MAINTAIN THIS. I SAW FDOT DOING MLK THE OTHER DAY AND THEY JUST DID MLK, BLUEGRASS AND LEFT. THIS NEEDS TO VISUALLY BE MAINTAINED TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T HAVE OVERGROWTH HERE. AND THE SIGN LOOKS GOOD AND THIS LANDSCAPING AREA LOOKS GOOD AND IT IS CUT, IT LOOKS DECENT, RIGHT? I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT, YOU WILL HAVE THAT RESPONSIBILITY. IF IT IS US, WE CAN MAINTAIN IT.

IF IT IS FDOT, WILL THEY GET TO IT?

>> DO YOU KNOW? >> THERE WILL BE, IT WILL BE

YES, YES. >> AS LONG AS IT IS US, I AM

GOOD. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT. I IMAGINE

A CERTAIN CONGRESSMAN. >> ABSOLUTELY. I HAVE BEEN

THINKING ABOUT THAT. >> I WILL JUST LEAVE THAT ALONE.

>> IS NOT ABOUT HIM, IT'S ABOUT THE BRAND OF THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE. WE ARE BRANDING OUR CITY.

>> FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW US. >> I HAVE A QUESTION. IF WE GO WITH OPTION ONE, SOLAR, SOME OF THE AREAS THAT YOU HAVE MENTIONED ARE KIND OF LIT UP , IF I AM GOING THROUGH MY HEAD, SOME OF THE AREAS, THEY ARE PRETTY LIT UP WITH STREETLIGHTS.

U.S. 1, SOUTH AND NORTH OF U.S. 1. SO HOW WOULD THAT WORK? THOSE AREAS, WHERE I THINK YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, I AM PICTURING THOSE AREAS. THEY ARE LIGHTED UP. IT WILL BE THE SAME TYPE OF STRUCTURE OR IN THAT AREA, TOO? OR IS IT SOMETHING DIFFERENT? BECAUSE HOW MUCH LIGHT DO WE REALLY NEED?

>> ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE SIGN ITSELF?

>> YES, SIR. >> THE SIGNS ARE ALL THE SAME, I

BELIEVE. >> HE IS TALKING ABOUT WHERE

[01:20:02]

THERE IS A LOT OF LIGHT, YOU WON'T HAVE THE SAME EFFECT.

>> I'M JUST TRYING TO SAY. >> LET ME CLARIFY THE LOCATION.

SOUTH OF U.S. 1, IT'S ON MIDWAY IN THE MIDDLE. I FEEL LIKE THAT IS PERFECT. YOU CAN SEE IT AS YOU ARE COMING IN AND LEAVING.

NORTH IS RIGHT WHERE THE TAYLOR CREEK COMMONS PLAZA IS, THAT MEDIAN, AS WELL. WE HAVE AN EXISTING SIGN OFF TO THE SIDE BUT THIS ONE WILL BE IN THE MIDDLE.

>> ON THE MEDIAN, OKAY. AND ON 25TH?

>> THERE IS CURRENTLY A SIGN ON NORTH 25TH. IT IS OFF TO THE SIDE. WE WILL JUST REPLACE IT. IT WILL STAY THERE, JUST BECAUSE THE MEDIAN IS TOO SMALL TO PUT THAT SIGN THERE.

>> AND SOUTH? >> WE ARE WORKING WITH THE COUNTY. THAT IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL BE COUNTY BECAUSE WE ARE WORKING ON THAT LOCATION. WE KIND OF HAVE AN IDEA WHERE IT WILL BE. IT IS SOUTH OF FORT PIERCE CENTRAL.

>> OKAY. THEN THERE IS OCEAN. THAT DOESN'T HAVE A LOT OF

LIGHT TO. >> HERE IS WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST.

OKEECHOBEE HAS A LOT OF LIGHT. >> HERE IS WHAT I SUGGEST. THE ILLUMINATION FROM STREETLIGHTS ARE DIFFERENT. THEY'RE SO TALL, THEY PROVIDE ENOUGH LIGHT FOR TRAFFIC MOVEMENT. I REALLY THINK WE SHOULD GO WITH THE RECOMMENDATION AND HAVE THE SOLAR PANEL BOXES PUT UP BECAUSE SOME OF THESE STREET CANDLELIGHT, THEY ILLUMINATE TO A CERTAIN DEGREE. IN SOME CASES, THERE WILL LOOK BETTER WITH OUR SIGN REALLY LIT UP AND GO BACK TO THAT WHITE LIGHTING THEY HAVE IN THIS BACKGROUND. I REALLY

THINK WE SHOULD GO WITH IT. >> I AGREE WITH THAT, COMMISSIONER JOHNSON, THAT IS WHAT I WAS TRYING TO GET TO.

WHAT I WAS TRYING TO GET TO, IS THAT SOME OF THEIR IS ALREADY LIGHTED UP. I DON'T WANT THOSE LIGHTS, I GUESS I WAS SAYING IT WRONG, I DON'T WANT THOSE LIGHTS TO TAKE AWAY FROM THE

LIGHT ON THE SIGN. >> I DON'T THINK SO. I THINK IT

WILL BE FINE. >> THEY ARE PRETTY VAGUE.

>> OKAY. >> DRIVING DOWN U.S. 1, YOUR SPECIFIC BUSINESS SIGNAGE IS RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF YOU. IT POPS. THIS IS WHAT THIS WILL DO, TOO.

>> THAT IS WHAT I WANT. I WANT IT TO POP.

>> OKAY. ANYTHIN ELSE? YOU NEEDED DIRECTION, RIGHT? YOU

NEED DIRECTION. >> I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE SOLAR LIGHT PACKAGE FOR THE GATEWAY SIGNS.

>> SECOND. >> OKAY. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION?

CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE. >>

>> YOU ASKED FOR DIRECTION AND YOU GOT A LOT OF IT.

>> A QUICK FOLLOW-UP QUESTION. THE SIGNAGE IS GOING IN. RIGHT NOW, RIGHT? IT IS QUEUED UP TO BE DONE. HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET THE SOLAR PACKAGE INSTALLED, IS THERE ANY IDEA?

>> WE ARE WORKING WITH D.O.T. TO GET THEIR POSITION. THAT WILL COME BEFORE YOU FOR YOUR SIGNATURE AND APPROVAL WILL WE HAVE THE AGREEMENT WITH FDOT. AFTER THAT, WE WILL MOVE

FORWARD. >> THE TPO MEETING IS COMING UP I WILL BE THERE, BUT WE CAN GET HELP WITH FDOT. THEY WILL BE

THERE. >> IF YOU WON'T BE THERE, I

WILL BRING IT UP. >> PLEASE DO.

>> NOT CHRISTMAS NEXT YEAR, THIS YEAR.

>> IF YOU HAVE IT FOR THE END OF THIS YEAR.

>> OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE WILL MOVE ON.

>>> NEXT IS TO EXECUTE A SERVICE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE FORT PIERCE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AND MOW 4 LESS FOR MAINTENANCE SERVICES IN THE AMOUNT OF 42,750.

>> THIS IS A MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT FOR LAWN SERVICES IN THE FPRA DISTRICT FOR ONE PARTICULAR VENDOR AND JUST

MOWED. >> MOTION TO APPROVE.

>> SECOND. >> CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE.
