>> BY SURPRISE. >> GOOD MORNING. >> MEMBERS OF THE BOARD WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS PROJECT SINCE LAST SUMMER. THIS PROPERTY LOW CAUGHTED NEXT TO HIGHWAYMEN MUSEUM IT IS NOW OPEN WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER AND CITY AND AGENCY ATTORNEY ON DEVELOPING THIS PURCHASING SALE AGREE. YOU PREVIOUSLY EXECUTED A RESOLUTION LAST YEAR WE DIDN'T HAVE THE TERMS AVAILABLE AT THAT POINT. WE ARE BRINGING IT BACK TO YOU.

SO, YOU ALL HAVE THE CHANCE TO REVIEW THE TERMS OF THAT PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT THAT

IS WHY WE'RE HERE TODAY. >> QUESTIONS OF STAFF? >> YEAH.

>> GO AHEAD. COMMISSIONER BROAD RICK. >> CAN YOU GIVE OVER VIEW OF THEOF WHAT THOSE TERMS ARE, SALE PRICE, CLOSING, TIMELINE, ETC. JUST KIND OF THE BASIC TENETS OF THE TRANSACTION. SURE I CAN PULL IT UP IN HERE AND SAY. SURE I C AND SAY. >SURE I CAN PULL IT UP AND >SURE I CAN PULL IT UP IN H AND SURE I CAN PULL IT UP IN HE AND SAY.

IF YOU WANT TO REVIEW SOME OF. SHE'S BEEN WORKING WITH THE ATTORNEY, AND I'LL GET IT UP HERE. WE STARTED MY COMPUTER BECAUSETHE INTERNET'S NOT WORKING, SO THAT MAKES IT A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO PULL UP THE TERMS, BUT IT'S BUT ESSENTIALLY IT'S $150,000 PURCHASE PRICE WITH WORKING WITH THE CITY MANAGER. HE WAS WILLING TO WEAR INSPECTION OF THE PHYSICAL PROPERTY BUT THERE WERE SOME CONCERNS RELATED TO ENVIRONMENTAL, SO THERE IS A 60.

DAY PERIOD FOR PHASE ONE ENVIRONMENTAL SOMETHING IN THAT ENVIRONMENTAL SATURDAYY COME BACK WE WILL MOVE TO PHASE TWO ON THE PROPERTY. THERE IS LANGUAGE THAT ALLOWS FOR ADDITIONAL 30 DAYS IF THE 60 IS NOT SUFFICIENT. THERE IS A $5,000 PAYMENT THAT IS DUE

WITHIN 3 OR 5 BUSINESS DAYS ONCE YOU EXECUTE THE LEASE. >>

THE DEPOSIT. >> CORRECT. THAT WOULD THEN GO TO PURCHASE PRICE MONOCLOSING.

>> AND ESCROW? >> YES. >> BY.

>> WILL BE BY THE SELLERS ATTORNEY DEL TORO LAW WILL BE THE CLOSING AGENT IT'S A PRETTY

TYPICAL PURCHASING SALE AGREEMENT. >>I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING IN THERE. I DO HAVE A QUESTION PERTAINING TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL INSPECTION. I KNOW WE COVERED THIS BRIEFLY YESTERDAY, BUT THERE'S A PHASE ONE ENVIRONMENTAL I'M ASSUMING BASED

ON THE AGE. >> YES, SIR? >> BASED ON THE AGE AND TIMELINE WAS BUILDING AS BEST THIS INSPECTION IS INCLUDED IN THAT. CAN SOMEBODY CONFIRM.

>> MR. WALLACE WILL SPEAK TO THAT. >> AS HE COMES UP. THE ENGINEER AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT RPBG CONTINUED SERVICES IN ENGINEERING THE TERMS HAVE NOT

[00:05:07]

BEEN FULLY DEFINED YET. >> MR. DRUMLAND. >> MEMBERS,CITY ENGINEER, MADAM MAYOR, WE'RE BOARD MEMBERS, SO PHASE ONE DOES NOT TYPICALLY INCLUDE AN ASBESTOS SURVEY. BUT CURRENT YOU ARE CORRECT. IT'S, I THINK, 1954 FOUR, GENERALLY, ANY BUILDING, BUT BEFORE 1980 AS THE POTENTIAL TO HAVE ASBESTOS IN IT SO. THAT SHOULD BE DONE AS PART OF OUR DUE DILIGENCE PROCESS AND I BELIEVE CONTRACTS ARE IN PLACE IF THE INTENT IS TO EVENTUALLY

DEMOLISH THE BUILDING. >>AND NOT ONLY THAT, WE WERE TO MODEL THE BUILDING ON THAT TEST.

THAT TOUCHING OF THAT STUFF. THIS ISSUE IS BE BASED ON THE AGE OF THE BUILDING, BASED ON THE AGE OF THE BUILDING CONSTRUCTION PRODUCT FOR YOU CONTAINED AS BEST AS WHEN THIS BUILDING WAS BUILT SO I'M ASSUMING WE'RE GONNA FIND ASBESTOS IN THE BUILDING, I JUST TH STOEP SCOPE OF THE ASBESTOS IS WE NEED TO REMOVE ONCE IT'S COMPLICATED IT BECOMES EXPENSIVE SECONDLY, IF THE DECISION IS DEMOLISHING THE BUILDING, WE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MANAGING THE ASBESTOS, JUST SO WE KNOW MOVING FORWARD WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD TO FIND THAT OUT UP FRONT THAT'S ALL I'M SUGGESTING.

>> MADAME CHAIR I HAVE A QUESTION WITH THAT RESPECT I WANT TO UNDERSTAND THE TIMELINE TO MAKE SURE I'M CLEAR ON THIS. WE ORDER THIS INSPECTION I'M ASSUMING THAT SINCE WE'RE PIGGYBACKING HAVE A CONTINUED CONTRACT SOUNDS LIKE AN EMPLOYEE WE HAVE DEALT WITH BEFORE ON THIS. HELP US UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS OF WHICH WE ARE RIGHT NOW WITH THE FINANCE COMPANY TALKING TO THE COMPANY DOING THAT IN HOW DOES THAT LINE UP WITH SIGNING THE PAPER AND CLOSING THE DEAL IF WE HAVE TO ENTER INTO DEMOLITION IT'S HOW DOES THAT LINE UP MAKING SURE WE ARE TARGET OR DELAY, WE SHOULD ALL KNOW WE SET A DATE FOR THE GRAND OPENING HERE. WHICH IS ONE OF THE REASONS WE GOT TO THIS MEETING IS THERE A TIGHT TIMELINE THAT. I WANT TO

UNDERSTAND THAT AND THINK THE PUBLIC SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT. >> SURE. MADAME CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THAT SPECIFIC AUTHORIZATION FOR YOU TODAY WE COULDN'T GET IT TOGETHER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT THAT WILL ASSESSMENT. ONCE WE HAVE THE UPDATED PROPOSAL FROM THE FIRM THAT WE HAVE ON CONTINUING SERVICES, WE WILL BRING THAT BACK TO YOU FOR APPROVAL, AND THEN IT WILL GO TO THE CITY COMMISSION AS WELL FOR APPROVAL AND THEN.

WE CAN INITIATE THAT PROCESS THEY SEEMED READY AND WILLING TO START AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. WE HAVE A 60 DAY PERIOD WITH A THIRD DAY EXTENSION TO ACCOMPLISH THIS.

>> THE TIMING DOESN'T WORK. POINTING OUT HERE THAT DOESN'T WORK. WE'RE NOT HAVING ANOTHER MEANING OF THIS BOARD UNTIL 30 DAYS FROM NOW. SO ARE YOU 30 DAYS INTO OUR DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD? AND THE DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD IS ENVIRONMENTAL INSPECTION ONLY. THIS ISN'T WE'RE NOT GOING IN AND DOING STRUCTURAL INSPECTIONS OR GOING IN AND TOUCHING, FEELING, OH, WE LIKE THIS BUILDING WE DON'T LIKE SPELLING. THIS IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL ONLY, WE CAN'T BURN THROUGH ALL THIS TIME I'M GOING TO STRONGLY. SUGGEST BASED ON THE PROPOSAL BY CHEYENNE AND MARK WE ATTEND TO THAT RESPONSIBILITY TO CITY MANAGER CHESS TO GET THAT GOING, WE DON'T HAVE 30 DAYS TO WAIT. 60 DAY WINDOW. THIS IS OUR ONLY INSPECTION OPTION HERE I'M NOT CONCERNED ABOUT HAVING SOLID SOLID WASTE OR NUCLEUS WASTE OR OIL OR GAS PROBLEMS THE ONLY THING I'M CONCERNED ABOUT IS ASBESTOS THAT IS A LARGE DOLLAR FIGURE WHEN YOU HAVE ASBESTOS PHASE ONE THEY ARE NOT TESTING HOLES THEY ARE DOING INSPECTION THEY ARE LOOKING TO DETERMINE IF THERE IS A THREAD THAT NEEDS TO BE PULLED WHAT WE'RE ADDING TO THAT IS A MORE NOT DESTRUCTIVE INVESTIGATION BUT MORE INDEPTH INVESTIGATION ON THE ASBESTOS ISSUE IF YOU WANT NO AVOID THE ASBESTOS ISSUE, WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH UP FRONT ONE OR THE OTHER. EXCUSE THE I'M NOT SAYING IT SKEWS THE DEAL IN ANY CAPACITY, BECAUSE WE WANT THE PROPERTY, BUT WE COULD BE DEALING WITH A $1,000 PROBLEM. WE COULD BE DEALING WITH $100,000 PROFIT. THAT'S ALL. SO I THINK THAT THAT'S IMPORTANT, RIGHT FOR US, AS A BOARD, TO REALLY UNDERSTAND THIS, AND >THIS, AD>T THIS, AND

[00:10:05]

GOING TO DO? >> THE SCOPE OF THE CONTRACT. HE WILL SEND THAT TO US. IT MEETS THESE PARAMETERS ASBESTOS PHASE 1 PLUSENVIRONMENTAL INSPECTION PERSON AS INSPECTION, THOSE TWO BOXES, A CHECK, HE SIGNS IT WE GET COPIES OF IT, AND WE CAN GET IT GOING, WE DON'T HAVE 30 DAYS TO WAIT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ON A 30 DAY CLOCK TO GET AHEAD ON THIS TYPE.

>> WHAT ARE YOU WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE 30 DAYS THE DUE DILIGENCE BEFORE WE CLOSE ON

THE PROPERTY? >> THE CLOCK THE TICKING. >> GENTLEMEN?

>> WORK IT OUT DOWN THERE. >> RIGHT. >> MADAME DOES THE MOTION HAVE

TO BE MADE ON THIS TO GIVE THAT DIRECTIVE? >> MADAME MAYOR I THINK -- YES MA'AM I THINK A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONTRACT IS NEEDED PLUS A PHASE 1 PLUS AN ASBESTOS INSPECTION CAN BE MADE WITH $1 AMOUNT AUTHORIZED, I BELIEVE WE'RE GOING TO BE UNDER 10,000, WHICH IS UNDER THE CITY MANAGER, SPENDING AUTHORITY. OVERALL, BUT I THINK IF YOU AUTHORIZE AN

AMOUNT FOR HIM TO SPEND MIGHT BE SUFFICIENT. >> ONE MOTION OR ONE.

>> TWO SEPARATE MOTIONS FOR TWO SEPARATE ISSUES. >> SOMEONE MAKE A MOTION FOR THE

FIRST MOTION WHICH IS PURCHASE THE RESOLUTION THANK YOU. >> I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVEPLA

RESOLUTION, 23 OR 26, 03. >> IS THERE A SECOND. >> YES.

LIKE TO GET EYES ON THIS THING. >> IS THERE A SECOND MOTION. >> I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AUTHORIZING CITY MANAGER CHESS FPLA DIRECTOR OR BOTH TO AUTHORIZE THE ENTERING INTO AGREEMENT PHASE ONE ENVIRONMENTAL ON THIS PROPERTY. AND SECOND INSPECTION.

>> COMMISSIONER -- >> IS 10,000 SUFFICIENT. >> DO YOU WANT TO KEEP IT AS

SIGNING AUTHORITY? >> IT'S 50,000. I DON'T WANT TO BE LIMITED TO $15,000

SPEAKERS]. >> THE PHASE ONE WAS UNDER 4,000 GENERALLY ASBESTOS FOR A BUILDING THAT SIZE IT SHOULD BE YOU MIGHT BE GETTING CLOSE WITH 10,000 COMBINE YOU MAY WANT TO INCREASE THAT A LITTLE BIT. I THINK 15,000 SHOULD COVER BOTH EFFICIENTLY.

>> THE CITY IS UP TO 50. >> YOU WANT TO AUTHORIZE AND EXECUTE THE SPECIFIC

AUTHORIZATION AND YOU CAN LEAVE IT AT THAT. >> RIGHT?

>> I AGREE. >> WE CAN'T DO IT OVER 50,000 ANY WAY.

>> A SPECIFIC AUTHORIZATION WOULD COME BACK TOW IN THIS SITUATION BECAUSE OF THE TIMING HE NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO SIGN THE SPECIFIC AUTHORIZATION BECAUSE OF THE SPEED TO WHICH WE HAVE TO

DO THIS. >> PROPOSAL SO WE'RE ALL AWARE. I WOULD SAY YES GIVE THEM AUTHORIZATION TO DO IT. HONESTLY GOING OVER TEN GRAND HONLY I HAVE BEEN WRONG IN THE PAST.

>> WHAT IS THE MOTION THE MOTION IS. >> AUTHORIZING TO APPROVE PLR EASY ALEUTIAN 26-03 -- ENGAGEV IN A PHASE ONE, ENVIRONMENTAL CONTRACT AND ASBESTOS INSPECTION CONTRACT WITH A MAXIMUM EXPENDITURE NOT TO EXCEED 15,000 THAT SATISFACTORY.

>> YOU MADE IT. >> FOR CLARITY MADAME CHAIR, BOARD MEMBER BROAD RICK BY CITY

MANAGER YOU MEAN FPLA DIRECTOR. >> YES. >> COMMISSIONER CHAIR I THINK WE HAVE THAT SITUATION I THINK WE SHOULD LEAVE IT UP TO THE CITY MANAGER TO HIS AUTHORIZATION AMOUNT WE'RE GOING TO GET THIS PROPERTY ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. CORRECT? SO I THINK IF YOU LEFT

[00:15:07]

IT OPEN TO THE FPRA MANAGERS AUTHORIZATION. >> I WANT TO STATE THAT. DOES THIS GO TO A POOL OF VENDORS TO GIVE US A PRICE POINT ON THIS OR ONE VENDOR.

>> I'M NOT SURE HOW THE BUILDING HAS IT SET UP. >> THE SKY IS THE LIMIT. I DON'T WANT THE ONE VENDOR THINKS THE SKY IS THE LIMIT YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING THE MARKETPLACE PRICE

POINT IS ALL I'M ASKING FOR. >> IN THE CONTRACT. >> ASBESTOS IS PER SAMPLE. YOU HAVE TO SAMPLE ALL THE DIFFERENT BUILDING MATERIALS AND TAKE AMOUNTS OF THOSE SAMPLES TO MAKE YOU A VALID SURVEY. IT'S USUALLY BASED UPON HOW MANY SURVEYS THEY END UP TAKING AS OPPOSED TO HERE'S THE SET COST IT USUALLY DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY. I DID THAT FOR A LONG TIME, THAT IS HOW I UP TO X AMOUNT OF SAMPLES FOR THIS PROJECT AND BUILD BASED ON HOW MANY I TOOK.

>> I'M GOOD WITH THAT. >> SO YOUR MOTION IS NOW. >> FPRA DIRECTOR CHESS HAS THE AUTHORITY TOAUTHORITY TO ENTER INTO CONTRACTS WITH PHASE ONE ENVIRONMENTAL INSPECTIONS AND INSPECTIONS AT A PRICE POINT THAT HE'S COMFORTABLE WITH. I'LL SECOND THAT MOTION. OKAY.

OKAY, NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION REGARDING THE FUTURE USE OF THE.

PROPERTY AT STREET STREET FOR THE RECORD WE HAVE TO ADJOURN AT 9 O'CLOCK.

>> OKAY THE FUTURE DIRECTION UM, I'M FOR DEMOLISHING IT I WILL SAY THAT RIGHT OFF THE BAT AND THEN I DON'T THINK WE CAN ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY SAY WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO WITH THAT EMPTY SPACE AT THIS TIME. COMMISSIONERS? I WILL LISTEN TO YOU.

>> MADAME CHAIR. SO, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER DURING MY WEEKLY THIS IS A POINT OF CONTENTION WITH ME. NOT A POINT OF CONTENTION BUT IT'S A POINT THAT IT HIT ME WE WERE UP AGAINST A TIGHT TIMELINE WE'RE GOING TO DRAW THE ATTENTION OF THE STATE FOR THIS GRAND OPENING. AND AS I HAVE COME BY THAT AREA I'M IN LINE WITH THE COMPLETE DEMOLITION. THIS BUILDING WAS BUILT IN THE 50S I THINK YOU MENTIONED EVEN IF WE WERE TO TRY WE WOULD BE IN A SCOPE OF WORK THAT WOULD FAR EXCEED ANY BUDGET WE CAN VISION OUT WITH THE HELP OF THE MUSEUM AND THE WHOLE AREA AND WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE. I WANTED US TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A PUBLIC DISCUSSION BECAUSE WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT THIS BESIDES THIS. AND I'M IN AGREEMENT WITH YOU ON THAT. I THINK WE EXECUTE IT NOW TO GET THE CONTRACT GOING. MY SIMPLE QUESTION IS IF WE'RE AT DEMOLITION HOW DO WE START THAT PROCESS? THAT IS A WHOLE OTHER PROCESS WE NEED TO BE THINKING ABOUT AND THE RFP'S IN THIS I'M GETTING CONCERNED THESE THINGS HAVE TO MATCH UP TO HIT OUR

TARGET DATE OF MAY SIX. >> YOU ARE SAYING WE DON'T WANT TO START DEMOLITION AND BE HALF

WAY THROUGH WHEN WE HAVE THE MAY THING. >> RIGHT. RIGHT. I DON'T MIND IT BEING DEMOLISHED BY THEN BUT CERTAINLY IT CAN STILL BE UNDER THERE BUT NOT HALF WAY IT NEEDS TO BE COMPLETELY DONE. I CAN MANAGE IT'S GOING TO ENCASE THAT ENTIRE AREA HERE THAT WILL BE A DEMOLITION SITE WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR US TO HAVE CONSTRUCTION PRIVACY WITH THE FENCES AROUND IT. BECAUSE IT'S A DEMO AREA THAT MAY HELP WITH THE SITUATION THERE.

>> MRS. CARNAGE. >> I PHRAOE THE CITY OFFICE STAFF IS INVESTIGATING THE PROCESS IN TERM -- WHERE DID THIS TERM? HERE WE GO -- THE PROCESS OF THE DEMOLITION YOU ALL AA CITY COMMISSION APPROVED A CONTINUING SERVICES AGREEMENT THROUGH CODE ENFORCEMENT FOR A DEMOLITION COMPANY THINK THAT WAS A MEETING BEFORE LAST OR SO. SO WE DO HAVE THEM AVAILABLE AT A SET PRICE PER SQUARE FOOT IT'S A MATTER OF FOLLOWING THE PROCESS OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION THINGS OF THAT MATTER BECAUSE THIS IS A HISTORIC DISTRICT. BUT I THINK THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN

[00:20:08]

AWESOME SUGGESTIONS AND IDEAS. >> BROAD RICK. >> SITTING HERE RIGHT NOW I'M NOT BUYING IN ON THE DEMOLITION CONCEPT.. I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU'RE GOING IN THAT DIRECTION, BUT PRIOR TO THAT WE HAD TO SEE THERE'S ANY VALUE LEFT AND USABLE VALUE LEFT ON THIS PROPERTY IN THIS. BUILDING THAT'S WHY I LIKE TO GET EYES ON THIS AND SEE WHAT THE ACTUAL CONDITIONS ARE. THERE ARE GOOD BONES THAT CAN BE RESURRECTED FOR SOME APPLICABLE USE WHATEVER WE'RE TRYING TO DO IN THAT AREA OR NOT., OR NOT JUST BEFORE WE THROW IT OUT THE DOOR AND GET THE BULLDOZERS OVER GET THE KNOCK THIS THING DOWN. I WOULD LIKE TO GET EYES ON THIS FIRST HEN I CAN MAKE A BETTER CONCLUSION THAT'S THE TYPE OF THING MY COMPANY DOES WE BUY ALL THE STRUCTURES AND RENOVATE THEM FOR ANOTHER USE APPLICABLE IN TODAY'S STANDARDS I WANT TO GET EYES ON IT. AS TO SOMETHING THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GO ON THERE. I'M GOING TO HOLD MY

BOARDING ON THAT DEFINITIVELY RIGHT NOW. >> ALL RIGHT. COMMISSIONERS?

>> I AGREE TO DEMOLISH IT JUST TO START FRESH. I HAVE DONE REHAB ON A 1970 MID CENTURY MODERN AND HISTORIC ASPECT OF IT AND I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE 100,000 IT WAS OVER $350,000.

AND THE COST IS WAY TOO EXPENSIVE IT'S A PET PROJECT BUT TO TAKE SOMETHING FROM THE 1950S LARGELY IT'S GOING TO BE WOOD FRAME AND YOU ARE GOING TO RUN INTO ALL KINDS OF STUFF. OUR EXPERT AT THE END OF THE HALL HERE SHOULD TAKE A LOOK AT IT EITHER WAY. BUT I'M IN SUPPORT

OF DEMOLISHING IT. >> COMMISSIONER GAINS. >> ALL RIGHTY. SO, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE IN A RUSH TO DO WHATEVER ANY WAY. I SO I THINK YOU ARE HEARING THE CONSENSUS OF THE BOARD. MOST OF US DON'T THINK IT'S PROBABLY USABLE. BUT WE'RE NOT IN A RUSH TO DEMOLISH IT EITHER ONCE WE DECIDE TO DEMOLISH IT THEN WE'RE IN A RUSH.

>> YEAH. I THINK WHAT I TAKE FROM THIS IS THAT, WE NEED SOME INFORMATION AND THAT'S GOING TO BE DELIVERED DURING OUR WEEKLIES, WE CAN BE KEPT ABREAST WHAT IS GOING ON HERE AS ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY COMES BACK AND ASCOMES BACK AS SITE INSPECTION AND PEOPLE SEE THINGS IN THEM, WE CAN HAVE, BUT WHAT I DON'T WANT IS FOR US NOT TO HAVE WITNESSED 30 DAYS OR 60 DAYS AND NOW WE'RE UP AGAINST A. CLOCK AND YOU WANT TO DEMOLISH IT AND YOU GOT THE STATE OF FLORIDA YOU GOT A SCENE THAT IS NOT TOO PRETTY THIS IS A MOMENT HERE IN FORT PIERCE WE'RE GOING DO DRAW ATTENTION OF ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE LOOKING AT FORT PIERCE WE SHOULD MAKE A BEST EFFORT TO AND I THINK WE SHOULD MAKE OUR BEST EFFORTS HERE TO MAKE SURE WE PRESENT A LONG

PARTNERSHIP WITH THE MUSEUM, A GREAT EXPERIENCE. >> MAY 6TH I DON'T THINK SO.

>> IS THAT TODAY? >> IN THE REAL WORLD. >> WE'RE GOING TO TEST THAT. I'M

CHALLENGING STAFF HERE THAT WE NEED THIS DONE. >> MAY 20TH.

>> I'M SORRY. MAYBE I GOT THE WRONG DATE. MAY 20TH IS OUR DATE. OKAY.

>> I THINK YOU HEARING AID THE SENTIMENT OF THE COMMISSION AND WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PUT OUR BEST FOOT FORWARD WHATEVER DATE IT IS IN MAY. I THINK THAT IS OUR.

>> I AGREE WITH THAT. I'M NOT DISAGREEING WITH YOU GUYS I'M JUST SAYING YOU KNOW MY PROCESS IF IT'S MY BUILDING I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I WOULD DO TODAY. INSPECTIONS GET IN TPHR VISUALIZE IT IF THE VISUAL IS TWO BOLL DOZERS PUSHING IT THIS WAY THAT'S WHAT IT IS.

>> YUP. THE REST OF US HAVE HEARING AID THE TAILS AND SEEN THE OUTSIDE OF IT, BUT RIGHT. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE FOR THE GOOD OF THE ORDER FROM THE COMMISSIONERS? ANYTHING ELSE? ALL RIGHTY I THINK MRS. HORNAGRE ARE
