THE PUBLIC AND I DON'T BELIEVE ANYONE SIGNED UP. SO WE WILL MOVE ON TO ADDITIONS OR DELETIONS TO THE AGENDA AND APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA. MAYOR, I WOULD LIKE YOU TO KNOW THAT MR. COWARD CALLED TODAY AND ASKED THAT HIS PRESENTATION OF THE SOLAR ENERGY LOAN FUND BE RESCHEDULED TO A LATER DATE, WHICH WE WILL DO SPIN OKAY.

>>> I BELIEVE IN THE MEANTIME MR. MIMBS MAY HAVE UPDATES.

>>> WE HAVE AN ITEM 11 B THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO PULL FROM THE AGENDA. WE DID NOT RECEIVE AN UPDATED AND AGREED-UPON DRAW FROM ST. LUCIE COUNTY AND WE CAN DISCUSS A LITTLE BIT LATER.

I'D LIKE TO PULL ITEM 11 B. >>MAYOR HUDSON: RIGHT.

>>> THE CLERK SPOKE ABOUT ITEM 10 A. IN EXCHANGE FOR ITEM 10 A I WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE YOU WITH AN UPDATE ON A FEW OF THE ISSUES THAT ARE SURROUNDING OUR COMMUNITY RIGHT NOW. ONE BEING OUR CORONAVIRUS PREPARATION AND RESPONSE, ALSO, OUR OBSERVATION DECK/FUTURE FISHING PIER AT THE SOUTHBRIDGE. YES, IT IS AN ITEM OF HIGH CONCERN.

AND ALSO, THE ANIMAL SHELTER STATUS OF OUR NEGOTIATIONS. SO IF I COULD -- IF WE COULD LEGALIZE MISCELLANEOUS REPORTS TO GIVE YOU UPDATES ON THAT, I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE THAT

MA'AM. >>MAYOR HUDSON: THAT SOUNDS GOOD. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION WITH THE CHANGE.

>> SO MOVE. >> SECOND.

>>MAYOR HUDSON: CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE.

>> (ROLL CALL). >> AT THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO BRING OUR CURRENT LEAD ON OUR CORONAVIRUS INFORMATION OR RISK MANAGER MR. RITA JOHNSON. TO GIVE YOU INITIAL UPDATE ON HER SITUATION FROM A NATIONWIDE LOCAL REGIONAL PERSPECTIVE AND ALSO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE PREPARATIONS THAT THE CITY IS PUTTING IN PLACE. I WILL BACK HER UP AND I'M SURE WE'LL HAVE A NICE LITTLE DISCUSSION ABOUT OUR CURRENT SITUATION.

>> I WILL BE VERY BRIEF. >> GOOD EVENING. I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A BRIEF OVERVIEW IN REGARDS TO THE CORONAVIRUS AND AS WE KNOW THE CODE 19. TODAY, THERE ARE NO CONFIRMED CASES HEARING ST. LUCIE COUNTY, WHICH IS A GOODTHING FOR US AT THIS POINT. EVERYTHING I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU IS FLUID AS WE ALL KNOW.

THE CITY DEFINITELY IS CLOSELY MONITORING THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS. WE ARE COMMITTED TO PROTECTING OUR CITIZENS AND EMPLOYEES. IN SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE DONE TO ENHANCE THAT, AS FAR AS OUR -- WE INCREASE THE FREQUENCY IN THE CLEANING OF OUR COMMON AREAS. THE HARD SURFACES, THE DOOR HANDLES, WE -- ALL THE RESTROOMS AT THIS POINT ACTUALLY HAVE DISINFECTED. WE HAVE ADDITIONAL HAND WIPES THAT WE NEED TO KEEP THINGS CLEAN.

WERE DOING SOME OF THE BASIC THINGS THAT WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOING FROM THE START. WASHING OUR HANDS. IF WE SEE SNEEZING IN THE ARM, YOU WERE DOING AN ARM BUMP OR FIST BUMPS SO PUTTING MEASURES IN PLACE AND TODAY WE HAD A CONFERENCE CALL WITH OUR PARTNERS AND MR. MIMBS OF GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON WHAT THAT'S LOOKING LIKE. THE TOTAL NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN TESTED HERE IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA SO FAR IS 1483. 760 ARE NEGATIVE. 131 CASES -- HUNDRED 55 ARE FLORIDIANS HOWEVER 131 ARE THE ONES THAT ARE LIVING HERE RIGHT NOW. WE HAVE RESIDENTS THAT WERE TESTED ELSEWHERE AND THERE WERE SIX OF THEM. WE HAVE 18 OF THEM TESTED. WE WANTED TO UPDATE YOU THAT MS. WALKER SAID THE ELECTION WILL GO ON AS PLANNED TOMORROW. SO FROM 7 AM TO 7 PM PEOPLE CAN GET OUT TO VOTE. CHEYENNE PUT INFORMATION OUT TODAY WITH SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THE SCHOOL BOARD IS DOING TO MAKE SURE KIDS ARE GETTING THEIR MEALS. FROM 11 AM TO 1 PM, STARTING TODAY UP UNTIL FRIDAY, WE HAVE SEE A MORE ELEMENTARY NORTHPORT K8, TREASURE COAST HIGH SCHOOL, TREASURE COAST OR THE CAVEAT TO THAT IS YOU HAVE TO BE ANYWHERE FROM 18 UNDER BUT THE CHILDREN HAVE TO BE IN VEHICLES. IT'S A DRIVE-THROUGH SITUATION. THE BRINGING OF FOOD TO THE KIDS WHERE THEY CAN EAT. THE MEALS ARE BEING FED. WE HAVE THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB THAT ARE DOING EXTRA THINGS AS WELL TO MAKE SURE THE CHILDREN ARE BEING FED. WE'LL HAVE MORE UPDATE LATER REGARDING MOBILE GOING NEXT WEEK WITH THE CHILDREN BUT THERE WILL BE FOOD FOR THE CHILDREN. SOME OF THE

[00:20:02]

EVENTS THAT HAVE POSTPONED BEEN CANCELED. THE SEAFOOD, THAT HAS BEEN POSTPONED AND SOME OF THE CANCELLATIONS, WE HAVE THE JAZZ MORE CREEK WE BROUGHT IT PAST, FARMERS MARKET, SUNRISE THEATER, THERE'S LOTS THAT HAVE BEEN CANCELED AND POSTPONING AND RESCHEDULING AND GOING ON NOW. YOU AND I THINK THAT IS GOING TO BE ENOUGH INFORMATION AT THIS POINT. SO WE DO HAVE THIS DISTANCING THAT WE SHOULD BE DOING. AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HEARD THE NEWS TODAY AT ABOUT 3:45 PM THE PRESIDENT ANNOUNCED THAT AS FAR AS GATHERING, HE PREFERRED THIS AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HEARD THE NEWS TODAY AT ABOUT 3:45 PM THE PRESIDENT ANNOUNCED THAT AS FAR AS GATHERING, HE PREFERRED THIS .10, NO MORE THAN 10 PEOPLE GATHERING IN ONE PLACE.

SO WE WILL SEE HOW FAR THAT GOES. I KNOW THE CDC, AS OF YESTERDAY 50 PEOPLE. WE WILL SEE FOR 6 TO 8 WEEKS. WE'LL SEE HOW THAT IS GOING TO PAN OUT FOR US AT THIS TIME. MR.

MIMBS. >>> MOVING FORWARD, THERE WILL BE A ST. LUCIE COUNTY PRESS CONFERENCE WITH ALL OUR JOINT PARTICIPATION PARTNERS AT THE ST. LUCIE COUNTY CHAMBERS TOMORROW AT 2 PM. ST. LUCIE COUNTY IS PREPARING TO HAVE THEIR LOCAL DECLARATION OF EMERGENCY. I THINK THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD ALSO CONSIDER. SO MAYOR, DEFINITELY LIKE TO GET WITH YOU TO MAYBE COINCIDE WITH THAT DECLARATION

AS WELL. >>MAYOR HUDSON: THAT WOULD BE

GREAT. >> YES, MA'AM. SO IN ADDITION, OTHER PREVENTATIVE MEASURES THAT WE PUT IN PLACE, TROUBLE IS BEEN SUSPENDED AS FAR AS BUSINESS TRAVEL. ALL APPROVED TRAVEL IS BEEN SUSPENDED. NO NEW APPLICATIONS FOR TRAVEL ARE

BEING APPROVED AT THIS TIME. >>MAYOR HUDSON: FOR EMPLOYEES.

>> FOR CITY EMPLOYEES. MANICURED I CAN TALK ABOUT THE PUBLIC,

>>MAYOR HUDSON: I WAS GONNA SAY BOY --

>> AS YOU KNOW SHERITA TALKED ABOUT THE SUNRISE THEY ARE, PUBLIC WORKS AS YOU KNOW, WE CANCELED SEVERAL LARGE EVENTS. WE HAVE INTENSIFIED CLEANING. THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. THEY ARE, AGAIN, THEY'RE GOING TO BE THE FRONT LINE. EVERY EMPLOYEE IS GOING TO BE AN ESSENTIAL EMPLOYEE AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS EMERGENCY RESPONSE. AND WERE DEFTLY GOING TO LOOK AT OUR DIFFERENT PARAMETERS WHEN IT COMES TO ENCOUNTERING POSSIBLE INFECTED PEOPLE. AND HOW WE ENCOUNTER THEM. HOW WE DEAL WITH THEM TO GIVE THEM THE PROPER CARE AND ALSO RESPOND ACCORDINGLY. THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT, WE ARE WORKING WITH THEM AND SPECIFICALLY WITH THE PURCHASING DIVISION. WE ARE LOOKING AT JUDGMENT WE HAVE PUT OUR BIDS ON POSTPONEMENT UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. THAT IS FISHERMAN'S WHARF AND MOORE'S CREEK. WE UNDERSTAND THAT DEVELOPERS ARE COMING FROM ALL OVER THE REGION, SPECIFICALLY THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND TRAVEL COULD BE COMPROMISED AT THIS TIME. THE CITY MARINA. THEY ARE WORKING WITH OUR LOCAL RESTAURANTS AND THEY HAVE SOME PROVISIONS IN PLACE FROM THE CDC AS FAR AS GUIDANCE FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE. THAT THEY HAVE PUT IN PLACE. I'M TALKING ABOUT COBB'S LANDING AND LITTLE GEMS. AND OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, THE MARINA HAS A GIFT SHOP AND ALSO HAS SEVERAL VESSELS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD COMING IN. SO WE ARE GOING TO MONITOR THE SITUATION AS WELL. IN ADDITION, WE SHALL CONSIDER LIMITED ACCESS TO CITY HALL. AND WHEN I SAY LIMITED ACCESS, I'M TALKING ABOUT REDUCING THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ALLOWED IN THE BUILDING. SO FOR GOING TO REDUCE THE DENSITY OF PEOPLE IN THE BUILDING, WE HAVE TO REDUCE THE ACCESS AND NUMBER OF PEOPLE TO ENTER THE BUILDING. WHEN LOOKING AT LIMITED ACCESS OF HOW WE CAN BEST DO THAT.

SEVERAL PEOPLE COMING TO ASK ABOUT OCCUPATIONAL LICENSES AND THERE'S ONE OTHER DEPARTMENT.

I FORGOT. I THINK IT WAS -- NO NOBODY LIKES TO SICKO. FINANCE. THAT'S IT.

(LAUGHING) SO, WE ARE GOING TO DEFINITELY LOOK AT REDUCING THAT ACCESS. IT MAY JUST BE LIKE NEVER GO TO A RESTAURANT OR A CLUB OR A NIGHTSPOT AND THEY ONLY LET A NUMBER PEOPLE AND SOMEONE HAS TO COME OUT BEFORE YOU CAN COME IN, WE MAY BE LOOKING AT LIMITED ACCESS SUCH AS THAT. WE ARE LOOKING AT EVERY POSSIBLE SCENARIO TO IMPROVE UPON HER PREVENTIVE CARE. I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THIS IS A HIGH PRIORITY. WE INTEND ON CONTINUING OUR ESSENTIAL SERVICE. THE GARBAGE WILL BE PICKED UP WITHOUT FAIL. THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WILL ENFORCE THE LAW WITHOUT FAIL AND ALL OF US ARE GOING TO COME TOGETHER AND PROVIDE THE BEST QUALITY SERVICE WE CAN. WE WILL UPDATE YOU EVERY DAY. WITH AN UPDATE AS FAR AS WHAT WERE DOING HOW WERE DOING IT AND I BELIEVE THAT OUR NEXT PRESS CONFERENCE IN COLLABORATION WITH ST. LUCIE COUNTY WILL SEE THAT JOINT DECLARATION OF EMERGENCY AND WE WILL PREPARE OUR COMMUNITY FOR WHAT'S ABOUT TO HAPPEN.

>>MAYOR HUDSON: YES, SIR. ASKED MR. MIMBS.

>> YES, SIR. >> I RECEIVED AN EMAIL

[00:25:02]

CONCERNING THE FEEDING OF THE CHILDREN. IT HAD EVERY ENTITY IN ST. LUCIE COUNTY EXCEPT THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE. WHY IS THAT?

>> I DON'T KNOW. WHO SAID TO THAT EMAIL,

>> WHOEVER THEY ARE -- I THINK IT'S THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB OF THEIR FEEDING THE KIDS AT THE

SCHOOL. >> I BELIEVE SANDERS COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD IS PROVIDING MEALS.

>> WELL, IT MAY BE THE ST. LUCIE COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD. ALL THEY KNOW IS IT LISTED EVERYBODY EXCEPT FOR THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE AS FAR AS DONATING, YOU KNOW MONEY TO

HELP FEED THE KIDS. >> OKAY.

>> I'M UNAWARE OF THIS. IF YOU COULD SEND ME THAT EMAIL I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE.

>> OKAY. >>MAYOR HUDSON: ANYTHING ELSE

COMMISSIONER? >> THAT'S GONNA BE A. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONER SESSIONS.

>> AS FAR AS WHAT'S GOING ON, I MEAN WE ARE DEALING WITH UNPRECEDENTED TIMES.

>> IS. >> AND IT'S A SERIOUS MATTER.

YOU JUST WE WERE JUST INFORMED, THAT WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HAVING OR INVOLVED IN GATHERINGS OF 10 OR MORE PEOPLE. NEVERTHELESS, WE ARE HERE THIS EVENING.

>> I -- THAT'S. >> LET ME FINISH PLEASE THAT

MAY BE A BE PREPARED TO ANSWER. >> SO WHAT I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO DO FOR FUTURE PURPOSES IS TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION AND ARE NOT MANDATES. AT LEAST THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND I APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT AND THE DIRECTORS INPUT THIS EVENING, BUT WHAT I LISTEN TO THE PROFESSIONALS WITH THE MEDICAL BACKGROUNDS ARE CERTAIN RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ARE BEING PMADE. AND I WOULD HOPE THAT WOULD DEVIATE FROM BUSINESS AS USUAL. AND AT THAT POINT, MAKE SURE, ESPECIALLY FROM CITY HALL STANDPOINT THAT WE LIVE BY EXAMPLE AND WE SET PRECEDENTS AND WE MAKE SURE THAT WE SEND A STRONG MESSAGE OUT TO THE PUBLIC THAT OUR MAIN PRIORITY, AS FAR AS OUR EMPLOYEES ARE CONCERNED, AS FAR AS OUR CITIZENS ARE CONCERNED, THAT SAFETY COMES FIRST. SO EVEN AS WE SIT HERE TODAY, ON THIS DIOCESE, WE HAVE AN INDIVIDUAL THAT DOESN'T EVEN NEED TO BE HERE FROM A PHYSICAL HEALTH STANDPOINT, NOT TO MENTION THE VENTILATION IN THIS ROOM AND WHAT'S GOING ON HERE IN THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE HERE. SO IT'S NOT MEANT FOR CRITICISM. I'M TRYING TO GET US ALL TOGETHER SO WE CAN DEAL WITH THE SITUATION.

AT THE END, IT'S ALL HOW WE COME TOGETHER, HOW WE STRATEGICALLY PLAN TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PROTECT OUR FAMILIES AND THE CITIZENS. SO LET'S GET OUT OF THAT MODE OF DOING BUSINESS AS USUAL AND STARTING PUT SOME THINGS IN PLACE THAT WILL MAKE SURE WE DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO. AS FAR AS FORM WHAT I'M HEARING, OUR COUNTY, ALONG WITH A COUPLE MORE OTHER COUNTIES, WE HAVE NOT HAD REPORTED CASES. BUT NEVERTHELESS I TEND TO WONDER BECAUSE AVAILABILITY OF TESTS ARE NOT AS READILY AVAILABLE AS WE THINK THEY ARE. SO WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IS ACTUALLY GOING ON. LET'S USE ALL PRECAUTIONS LOOK TO YOU TO THE LEFT -- AND I'M SURE THE COUNTY IS GOING TO DO WHAT THEY NEED TO DO AND WE MAY REPLICA THAT. BUT WE HAVE A CHARGER WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY FROM OUR CITIZEN STANDPOINT THAT WE MAKE SURE WE PUT EVERYTHING IN PLACE AS WE POSSIBLY CAN IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PROTECT OUR

CITIZENS. THANK YOU. >>MAYOR HUDSON: COMMISSIONER

PERRONE A. >> I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT AS FAR AS GETTING CITY HALL INTO A POSTURE WHERE WE ARE PROMOTING THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF OURSELVES AS WELL AS OUR COMMUNITY. BUT BUSINESS HAS TO HAPPEN. AND I'M THINKING ABOUT OUR BUILDING DEPARTMENT, EVERYBODY'S UP THERE GETTING THEIR PERMITS, GETTING COMMUNICATION WITH LOCAL OFFICIALS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BUSIEST PORTS OF OUR CITY HALL. IT'S ON THE SECOND FLOOR. ALSO VERY BUSY AS HER CLOTHES OFF AS YOU HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP FLOOR FOR THAT. AND I KNOW YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT HOW WE MAY BE RESTRICTING SOME OF THIS AND IT SEEMS LIKE WE'VE NEVER BEEN DOWN THIS ROAD BEFORE. SO EVERY DAY IT SEEMS TO CHANGE. SO I THINK MORE IMPORTANT IS HOW DO WE GET THAT INFORMATION

[00:30:19]

OUT TO THE PUBLIC QUICKLY SO THAT SOMEBODY ISN'T TRAVELING ALL THE WAY IN AND FINDING OUT THEY CAN ACCESS THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT, THE FINANCE DEPARTMET THE WHATEVER DEPARTMENT YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO GET THAT INFORMATION OUT THERE TO THE PUBLIC EARLY ENOUGH SO THAT WE CAN -- WE CAN SHOW THAT WE ARE BUSINESS FRIENDLY AND WERE TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN WE ARE BALANCING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PROVIDING SERVICES AND KEEPING PEOPLE SAFE. HOW ARE WE GOING TO DO THAT?

>> WELL, WERE GOING TO TRY OUR BEST. ON FRIDAY, SHERITA AND I WENT OVER TO ST. LUCIE COUNTY AND WE SHOT A LITTLE VIDEO. THAT VIDEO WAS AN UPDATE OF THE SITUATION. BY THE TIME THE VIDEO WAS POSTED INFORMATION CHANGED. IT CHANGES RAPIDLY. AND WERE GOING TO STAY ON TOP OF IT AS BEST WE CAN. WE WILL DO A MINIMUM OF ONE UPDATE PER DAY. WE MAY HAVE TO INCREASE THAT, JUST BASED ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES. WE WILL GET THE INFORMATION OUT WHETHER IT IS TELEVISION, INTERNET PRESS RELEASES ON GOING TO BE CONTACTING ALL FIVE OF YOU TO DO PROMOTION, INFORMATIONAL VIDEOS OR RADIO ANNOUNCEMENTS OR WHATEVER IT TAKES TO HELP US

GET THE WORD OUT. >> AND FOLLOW-UP, I KNEW YOUR OFFICE HAS BEEN GOOD WITH EMAILS AND I'M A RECIPIENT OF THOSE EMAILS AND SEE HOW THINGS ARE CHANGING. THE AVERAGE PERSON MAY NOT HAVE THAT AVAILABILITY. IS THERE ONE SPOT, MAYBE THE CITY WEBSITE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT THAT WE CAN KEEP FOLKS UPDATED ON WHAT'S

HAPPENING AT CITY HALL? >> YES. WE DO HAVE AN ALERT, A BANNER ON OUR WEBSITE THAT WE USE DURING LIKE A -- A HURRICANE EMERGENCY. WE HAVE THAT. AS SOON AS YOU OPEN UP OUR WEBSITE WHETHER YOU ARE IN DESKTOP OR MOBILE, YOU GET ALL THE LATEST INFORMATION. THAT'S OUR ALERT CENTER. IT WAS PART OF OUR PRESS RELEASE. IF YOU WANT TO BE PART OF THAT ALERT CENTER EVERY TIME YOU HAVE ANY TYPE OF UPDATE, YOU WILL IMMEDIATELY BE NOTIFIED AND THAT GOES ALSO FOR ALERT ST. LUCIE. THEY HAVE THE SAME TYPE OF SYSTEM. THAT WAS PART OF OUR PRESS RELEASE. WILL HAVE THE 800-NUMBER FOR THE

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH. >> IF YOU CAN GET THAT INFORMATION MAKE SURE WE HAVE ALL THOSE LINKS AND EVERYTHING. WE ARE READY HAVE THEM, BUT IN OUR COMMUNICATION WITH FOLKS THAT WE KNOW THAT CALL US AND WHATEVER, WE CAN SEND THEM THE EMAIL. WE WILL KEEP THEM IN CONTACT OF WHAT'S HAPPENING IN CITY HALL.

>>MAYOR HUDSON: I THINK THE PUBLIC AT USED TO THE NOTICES THAT WE SENT OUT DURING HURRICANE THEY WERE NUMBERED. AND YOU KNOW WHICH ONE WAS THE LATEST AND WE GOT THEM. AND THEN WHEN I WOULD GET HIM LIKE ON SOCIAL MEDIA, I WOULD SHARE THEM SO PEOPLE GOT USED TO LOOKING FOR THAT. PLUS ON THE WEBSITE, THE RED BUTTON ON THE TOP THAT SAYS THIS IS AN ALERT AND THIS IS WHERE YOU GO, AGAIN, I THINK WERE DOING THE BEST WE CAN BECAUSE EVEN IF WE HAD A TRADITIONAL PRINT NEWSPAPER EVERY DAY, YOU'RE RIGHT. THIS IS CHANGING HOUR BY HOUR. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET USED TO PAYING ATTENTION BECAUSE FROM THE NATIONAL IN THE STATE THEY BEEN HAVING THESE PRESS CONFERENCES AND KEEPING US UP-TO-DATE. I THINK THEY'RE GONNA GET USED TO THAT.

>> I APPRECIATE THE INFORMATION ESPECIALLY THE IDEA OF LIMITING ACCESS INTO THE BUILDING. IT'S A QUEUING SYSTEM WHETHER YOU'RE IN THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT OR IT'S A QUEUING SYSTEM IF YOU'RE OUTSIDE OF THE DOORS OUTSIDE OF THE CITY HALL. IT'S THE SAME IDEA. WE ARE NOT LIMITING SERVICE BUT WE ARE PROVIDING A SERVICE TO THE PEOPLE IN A DIFFERENT WAY. AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT'S CLEAR BECAUSE THERE WILL BE NAYSAYERS THAT SAY ALL MY GOSH, I CAN'T GET ENOUGH THE CONFINES OF THE FOUR WALLS OF CITY HALL, WHICH IS NOT THE TRUTH. IT'S JUST A DIFFERENT STYLE OF QUEUING SYSTEM. THE OTHER THING I WOULD CHALLENGE US TO DO IS TALK ABOUT IF THIS IS A LONG-TERM THING AND WE HAVE TO CHANGE OUR MODE OF OPERATION, HOW DOES IT RELATE TO SUNSHINE LAW. HOW DO FOLKS COME INTO THIS ROOM AND MAKE PUBLIC COMMENT WITHOUT BEING AT THE PODIUM BUT MAYBE IT'S A DIFFERENT PODIUM AND IS VIDEOED IN. IT'S A LIFESTREAM THING. WE HAVE TO IMPLEMENT TECHNOLOGY FOR THAT. SO WHAT KIND OF ADVANTAGES DO WE HAVE IN OUR SYSTEM NOW TO IMPLEMENT THAT. THE OTHER CHALLENGE THAT I WOULD OFFER UP IS LOOKING AT THE FIRST FLOOR OF THIS FACILITY AND THE DIFFERENT USES OF THE FIRST FLOOR SO THAT WE DON'T GO TO THE SECOND AND THIRD FLOOR. MAYBE -- AND OUR REPRESENTATIVES SITS IN THE FIRST FLOOR OF THIS BUILDING. MAYBE WE NEED TO CHANGE THE USE OF THOSE OFFICES. MAYBE WE NEED TO UTILIZE THE PARKING GARAGE FIRST FLOOR IS THE

[00:35:24]

SERVICE MECHANISM OF THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT. THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT IS ONE DAY GOING TO MOVE BUT IF THIS IS GOING TO DRAG OUT FOR SIX, 10, EIGHT MONTHS, WE HAVE TO BE READY FOR. HOW DO WE CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN EXCELLENT SERVICE IN A DIFFERENT WAY WITHOUT FOLKS COMING IN AND OUT OF THE BUILDING TO THE SECOND AND THIRD FLOOR ALL THE TIME.

PUSHING THE SAME ELEVATOR BUTTON, YOU SEE WARM GOING WITH THAT. WE WILL JUST HAVE TO START THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX IN CHALLENGING OURSELVES. IT'S NOT BUSINESS AS USUAL. WE HAVE THE FACILITIES AND MECHANISMS. WILL IT COST US A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY?

>> PROBABLY. MAYBE NOT IF WE ARE CREATIVE ENOUGH. BUT THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS AND I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT. I THINK WE JUST HAVE TO BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN USUAL. THANK

YOU. >>MAYOR HUDSON: I THINK IF WE ARE SETTING AN EXAMPLE, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE -- OUR SOCIAL DISTANCE APPEARS IN 60 (LAUGHING) AND I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO ABOUT THAT. BUT, BUT ALSO, WE -- IT IS A NEW WORLD ORDER FOR A WHILE. HAVING TO LEARN A NEW WAY OF LIVING. YOU CAN'T SHAKE HANDS ANYMORE, YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN'T SEE THEM WERE JUST TRYING TO HAVE TO LEARN TO

LIVE DIFFERENTLY. >>MAYOR HUDSON:

>> MAYOR. JUST BRIEFLY TOOK ADDRESS AN ISSUE THE COMMISSION BROUGHT UP THE LAW POEM OF WHITE SIROTA THEY REPRESENT OVER 90 DIFFERENT CITIES AND MULTIPLE OTHER CITIES AND AGENCIES, THEY ISSUED A LETTER TO THE GOVERNOR EARLIER THIS MONTH. I BELIEVE IT WAS MARCH 3 ASKING SPECIFICALLY THAT HE INVOKE EXECUTIVE POWERS TO DISSEMINATE THE RULES, PROCEDURES, REGARDING CHAPTER 286 IN THE SUNSHINE LAW AND MANDATORY MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR QUORUM AND HAVING PEOPLE PHYSICALLY PRESENT. TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT YOU HAVE. BECAUSE AS BEN SAID, THIS IS A PORN WORLD. NOBODY ANYWHERE HAS EVER EXPECTED ANYTHING LIKE THIS FROM THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OPINION TO CASES TO ANYTHING. THAT LETTER HAS NOT BEEN RESPONDED TO IT WAS COPIED TO ASHLEY MOODY WHO IS THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY RESPONSE. I SHARE THAT TWOFOLD WE ARE NOT ALONE. EVERYBODY STATEWIDE IS LOOKING FOR AN ANSWER TO BALANCE THE DELICATE BALANCE BETWEEN HEALTH AND SAFETY OF PUBLIC AND REAMING -- MAINTAINING FAIR AND TRANSPARENT GOVERNMENT. THE SECOND IS AS SOON AS WE FIND ANYTHING OUT, MR. MIMBS HAS BEEN VERY MUCH -- AT THE FOREFRONT TALKING WITH MY OFFICE ALONG WITH THE CLERK'S OFFICE. WE WILL DISSEMINATE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. SO WE ARE FIGHTING AS BEST WE CAN.

>>MAYOR HUDSON: AND FROM EVERYTHING OF HEARD FROM THE MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, IF YOU -- WE ARE ACCUSED OF OVERREACTION I THINK WE CAN HAVE TO LIVE WITH THAT BECAUSE REALLY, WHAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DO IS LEAD BY EXAMPLE AND LISTEN TO THEM AND WHAT THEY'RE SAYING IS IT WORKS FOR THE NON-SPREAD OF THE VIRUS. IT WORKS. AND I THINK SOMETIMES YOUNG PEOPLE DON'T EXACTLY SEE THE THREAT AND THEY HEARD THAT THEY ARE NOT THREATENED, BUT OUR OLDER CITIZENS MAY BE AFFECTED AND THE ACTIONS THAT THEY -- I THINK WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO -- I AGREE WITH COMMISSIONER CISTERNS, LEAD BY EXAMPLE. AND BECAUSE IT -- IT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT WE CAN PERHAPS CURTAIL IF WE OVERREACT. WHEN SOMEBODY MIGHT THINK OVERREACT TAKE THOSE REAL EXTREME PRECAUTIONS AND WE WILL NEVER KNOW. BUT WE KNOW IF WE DON'T, WE KNOW WHAT COULD HAPPEN.

>> COMMISSIONER. >>MAYOR HUDSON: YES.

>> IS REGARD TO CITY EMPLOYEES, ARE WE TRYING TO BRING IN LIKE TELEWORK, WORK FROM HOME IDEAS.

WE HAVE LAPTOPS, YOU KNOW, PERSONNEL THAT CAN DO THEIR JOB FROM A TECHIE DEVICE. ARE WE OFFERING THAT OPTION YET OR ARE WE THINKING ABOUT IT OR WHAT IS IT?

>> YES, SIR. WE'RE DEFINITELY THINKING ABOUT IT. WE DO NOT HAVE THAT OPTION AVAILABLE FOR EVERY CITY EMPLOYEE. THERE ARE SOME EMPLOYEES THAT NEED -- ARE THE FRONT-LINE EMPLOYEES. SO

[00:40:05]

WE NEED THEM TO REMAIN IN PLACE, BUT THERE ARE SOME THAT CAN WORK FROM HOME. WE ARE THINKING -- WE ARE GOING TO BE KICKING THIS AROUND FOR QUITE SOME TIME, SIR. THERE IS NO STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE WHEN IT COMES TO THIS. THIS IS ALL NEW TERRITORY. AND WE'RE GOING TO WORK -- I'M GONNA WORK WITH PETE AND LINDA AND OUR COLLEAGUES AT THE COUNTY AND THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH. ONCE WE START TESTING PEOPLE, WE WILL HAVE A BETTER IDEA WHERE WE STAND. AND I DON'T BELIEVE IS JUST ABOUT ANY CERTAIN GROUP OF PEOPLE. I THINK IT'S ANYBODY THAT IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO WEAKNESS OF HEALTH. SO IT COULD BE YOUNG OR OLD. SO WE NEED TO EDUCATE EVERYONE ON THE DANGERS OF THIS POTENTIAL SITUATION AND COMMISSIONER, WE ARE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO REACT ON A DAILY BASIS IN THAT SITUATION.

>> I AGREE. IT COMES DOWN TO LEAVE TIME AND SICK LEAVE AND VACATION LEAVE. WHAT IF SOMEONE HAS TO GO HOME AND TAKE CARE OF A LOVED ONE. IT'S FMLA. EVERYTHING STARTS TO KICK IN AND ALL THESE PARAMETERS THAT WE ARE NOT REALLY SURE. SOME FOLKS WANT TO TAKE A VACATION BECAUSE THEY VERY HAD IT SCHEDULED I RUN INTO THIS RECENTLY AND THEY SAM GOING ON VACATION AND THIS IS WHAT I'VE GOT PLANNED. AND BY THE WAY, WHEN I GET BACK I'VE GOT A QUARANTINE MYSELF FOR TWO WEEKS. AND THEY'RE WILLING TO DO THAT I GUESS AND THAT'S FINE, BUT HOW DO WE HANDLE THAT?

>> A FORMAL LOCAL DECLARATION OF EMERGENCY, AS YOU KNOW, VACATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO BE CANCELED. SO WE ARE GOING TO ASSIST EVERY SITUATION SIR AND TRUTHFULLY, WE HAVE IN A SITUATION AMONG US AND WE CAN'T SEE IT. SO IT'S HARD TO FIND THE ENEMY YOU CAN'T SEE. SO WERE GOING TO DO THE BEST WE CAN TO ADDRESS AND RESPOND.

>>MAYOR HUDSON: COMMISSIONER SESSIONS.

>>COMMISSIONER SESSIONS: AND AGAIN, I TURNED TO EACH OF US AS WELL. THAT ARE SITTING APPEAR. TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE OUTDOOR IN THE PUBLIC. WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY EVEN MYSELF PERSONALLY, SOMETHING I'VE NEVER DONE OR THOUGHT ABOUT DOING BUT JUST KEEP THE PUBLIC INFORMED AS TO INFORMATION GIVING. I'M GIVEN A FACEBOOK PAGE SO I CAN CONVEY THAT INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC BECAUSE THESE ARE SERIOUS TIMES THE CITY MANAGER, THERE'S CAN BE DIFFICULT DAYS AHEAD AND I WISH YOU WELL. YOU'RE GOING TO BE UP. YOU'RE GOING TO BE FACED VERY HARD AND TRAFFIC. MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU. AND I'M EXTENDED MYSELF AS I HOPE EACH OF US ARE BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO TAKE US PULLING TOGETHER TO BE ABLE TO OVERCOME THIS AND IT'S PROBABLY GONNA GET WORSE BEFORE IT GETS BETTER.

EVEN WHEN YOU LUCKILY, THE STATISTICS THAT THEY HAD ARE JUST LIKE OURS WAS TWO WEEKS AGO, BUT LOOK AT THE PRESENT SITUATION AND IT'S OVERWHELMING. SO WE CAN'T TAKE THIS LIGHTLY. WE HAVE TO DO WHAT WE HAVE TO DO AND WE'VE ALL GOT TO COME TOGETHER AND WORK TOGETHER. ANOTHER THING I'M GOING TO CLOSE ON THIS NOTE . WHILE WE ARE HERE, BECAUSE FROM A STANDPOINT OF PEOPLE BEING FINANCIALLY INCAPABLE OF PERHAPS TAKING CARE OF SOME OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES, I HOPE THAT THE UTILITIES AUTHORITIES GOING TO PUT SOMETHING IN PLACE THAT WILL MITIGATE THE BILLS BECAUSE THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF PEOPLE PERHAPS THAT ARE NOT ABLE TO WORK, BUT HERE WE DO NOT WANT THEIR LIGHTS BEING CUT OFF BECAUSE OF THE PREDICAMENT THEREIN AS RESULT OF THIS CRISIS HERE. SO I HOPE.

>> IS ALREADY KNOWS THAT. THEY'VE ALREADY ANNOUNCED THAT.

>> GOOD. SO I WAS HOPING THAT THAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. GOOD THEY SAY IT'S HAPPENING. IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE MOVING FORWARD. SO THANK YOU.

>>MAYOR HUDSON: ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY. KEEP US POSTED.

>> LET'S TALK ABOUT FISHING. WE HAVE MR. ANDREWS IS OUR CITY ENGINEER WAS GOING TO GIVE US AN UPDATE ON OUR OBSERVATION DECK AT THE SOUTHBRIDGE.

>> MR. ANDREWS. >> MATTER MAYOR COMMISSIONERS.

AS EVERYONE IS AWARE THE OBSERVATION DECKS ARE OPEN. WE'VE HAD REPORTS OF FISHING TAKING PLACE, PEOPLE CONCERNED ABOUT FISHING AND EVERYTHING. WHERE WE ARE CURRENTLY AT, MR. JIM OPPEN BORN FROM THE COUNTY IS WORKING TO GET THAT FACILITY PERMITTED AS A FISHING FACILITY. THE PERMITTING AGENCY, THE WAYNE PERMITTING AGENCY IS THE NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICES. SOME OF THEIR CONCERNS THAT THEY HAVE IS THE CONTINUED MAINTENANCE IN THE CLEANUP OF FISH, DISCARDED LINE, FISHING EQUIPMENT AND EVERYTHING.

SO MR. OPPEN BORN IS WORKING WITH DIFFERENT ENTITIES THROUGHOUT THE CITY, SOME OF

[00:45:08]

THE EIGHT STORES, THE DIVE STORES, THEY VOLUNTEERED TO DO CLEANUP. HE'S ORGANIZING ALL THIS AND PUTTING THIS TOGETHER FOR A PERMANENT PACKAGE TO THEM. HE IS ALSO REACHED OUT TO THE FLORIDA FISH AND WILDLIFE TO GET A LETTER OF SUPPORT FROM THEM.

SO WE ARE WORKING TOWARDS THIS TO DO IT RIGHT SO EVERYONE IS PROTECTED AND TO HAVE THE

ABILITY TO FISH ON THIS. >> ONE OF THE -- ONE OF THE CONDITIONS THAT THE MARINE -- WERE THE NATIONAL FISHERIES IS LOOKING AT, THOUGH, THEY ARE LOOKING AT PROHIBITING PUTTING LIGHTS ON THAT DECK. THEY FEEL THAT THAT IS -- WILL ATTRACT TOO MANY FISH AND ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. SO IT MAY BE DARK FOR A WHILE UNTIL WE CONVINCE

THEM OTHERWISE. >>MAYOR HUDSON: COMMISSIONER

ALEXANDER. >>COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER: WE ARE IN A NATIONAL EMERGENCY AND YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT YOU'RE SITTING HERE WORRYING ABOUT THESE AGENCIES FINDING PEOPLE AND WRITING TICKETS UP AND TAKING FOOD FROM THEM? YOU CAN EVEN GO THE GROCERY STORE KNOWN BY LOVE BREAD. THAT'S ANOTHER THING. WHAT ARE THEY DOING ABOUT THESE PRICE GOUGING? THEY TELL ME A LOAF OF BREAD COST FIVE DOLLARS. NOW THAT'S -- YOU KNOW, IF THAT AIN'T PRICE GOUGING, WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT IT AS A CITY? AND I -- I'LL GIVE IT RIGHT BACK TO JACK BUT JUST COME ACROSS MY MIND. THERE'S PRICE GOUGING, WHAT WE

CAN DO ABOUT PRICE GOUGING. >> PRICE GOUGING IS REPORTED TO THE CITY FOR SPEARS AND WE INVESTIGATE THE SITUATION TO ENSURE THAT THAT TYPE OF ILL-TREATMENT OF OUR PAYMENT DOES NOT HAPPEN.

>> A LOAF OF BREAD A FIVE DOLLARS IS NOT PRICE GOUGING?

>> IT MAY VERY WELL BE. I HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS. IF YOU HAVE ANY PARTICULARS, TELL

THE PEOPLE TO GIVE ME A CALL. >>MAYOR HUDSON: THE STATE OF FLORIDA HAS ISSUED SPECIAL ORDERS ABOUT -- JUST LIKE DURING HURRICANE. YOU CAN'T PRICE GOUGE QUICK SALE CARE ABOUT IT. WERE TALKING ABOUT A MAJOR CHANGE, GROCERY CHANGE -- CHAINS IN THE CITY. FIVE DOLLARS. WOW. YOU'VE GOT 2 TO 3 CHILDREN AND A LOAF OF BREAD WILL LAST TODAY. BUT BACK TO JACK I'M SORRY (LAUGHING) WERE GOING TO.

>> WERE GONNA SIT HERE AND TRY TO CONTROL PEOPLE FROM FISHING, YOU KNOW THEY BEEN FISHING ABOUT -- OFF THE CATWALK FOR HOW MANY YEARS? FOREVER.

>> FOREVER. >> AND WERE GOING TO SIT HERE AND PEOPLE ARE ALMOST AT A RATE OF STARVING. WERE GOING TO TAKE THE FISH FROM THEM AND

GIVE THEM A TICKET TO BOOT. >> COMMISSIONER ALEXANDRA DON'T THINK IT WAS THE CITY'S INTENTION TO PROHIBIT FISHING.

>> WE HAD THAT CONVERSATION WHEN THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT PUT -- REDOING IT, RIGHT.

>> AS. >> THEY CAME BEFORE US, TO EXPRESS WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO, RIGHT.

>> AND WE HAD SOME CONVERSATION ABOUT LIGHTS, TOO. YOU KNOW, BUT THEY KICKED THAT OFF TO.

>> AND SO THAT'S -- THAT'S WHAT WERE TRYING TO MAKE THIS OFFICIAL SO PEOPLE ARE NOT HARASSED WHEN THERE FISHING, SO.

>> WE CAN PUT COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER NAME AT THE TOP IF YOU WANT TO. BECAUSE IF YOU TAKE A PETITION FROM THIS CITY TO GO AT THE POWERS THAT BE, YOU KNOW, I'M JUST SCIENCE THAT SHE WOULD TAKE A FISH FROM A PERSON'S GONNA TRY AND FEED THEIR FAMILY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY DO WITH BUT THE PROBABLY TAKE IT HOME TO THEIR FAMILY. IT'S -- IT'S A JOKE.

>>MAYOR HUDSON: THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS. I THINK WITH THIS CRISIS, THERE DIVERTING A LOT OF STATE PERSONNEL TO DO OTHER THINGS. SO PERHAPS STATE PERSONNEL WILL BE DIVERTED --

PERHAPS COMMISSIONER PERRONE. >>COMMISSIONER PERONA: FOLKS THINK THE CITY FOR PIN -- FOR SPEARS REDO THIS BRIDGE. WE GOT MONEY.

>> WAS IT FDOT? >> THEY DID THE WORK THEMSELVES. THE CITY NEVER RECEIVED ANY MONEY. IT WAS A PROJECT BY.

[00:50:04]

>> AND A QUESTION AT THAT TIME, IF I RECALL IS THAT BECAUSE HE GOT HIT BY BARGES IN THE STORMS AND EVERYTHING ELSE. IT WAS UNSAFE FOR ANYBODY TO BE ON IT SO IT WAS CLOSED. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WE FOUND A SOURCE, STAFF FOUND A SOURCE TO BE ABLE TO REBUILD THIS AND IT WAS GONNA BE CALLED AN OBSERVATION DECK AND WE KINDA HEARD THAT FISHING MAY NOT BE ALLOWED AND THAT LIGHTS MAY NOT BE ALLOWED. WE ARE GETTING A NEW DECK, WILL WORRY ABOUT THAT LATER.

THIS IS A LEADER IN OUR WORRIED ABOUT IT. AND SO, IT'S NOT THAT THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE WENT OUT AND REBUILT THIS THING AND SHUT IT DOWN FOR ALL FOLKS TO USE IT AS FISHING FACILITY.

SO, WE ARE GOING TO DO WHAT WE CAN DO TO MAKE SURE THAT FOLKS IN OUR COMMUNITY HAVE THAT ASSET AND USE THAT ASSET AS WE THINK THAT IT SHOULD BE USED. I JUST DIDN'T WANT FOLKS TO THINK THAT THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE DID THIS AND THEN SHUT IT DOWN THE FISHERMAN. WE DID

NOT DO THAT. >> COMMISSIONER SESSIONS.

>>COMMISSIONER SESSIONS: INITIALLY WHEN IT WAS FIRST BUILT, IT PROBABLY WAS. BUT THANKS TO GOD, IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT NOW BECAUSE THEY ARE USING IT FOR FISHING AND MY COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER SAID WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY RELY ON THAT MEANS OF PROVIDING OF THEMSELVES WITH FOOD TO EAT. AND IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT PEOPLE THAT RIDE UP AND DOWN THE STREETS ON BICYCLES WITH DRILLING RODS TO GET TO THAT POINT SO THAT THEY CAN GO BACK AND EAT, I SEE ALL THE TIME. IT'S A NECESSITY FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. AND WHAT WE TAKE LIGHTLY, A LOT OF PEOPLE TAKE SERIOUSLY. AND AS WE'LL KNOW ARE NOT IN THE BEST ECONOMIC STATUS AS FAR AS OUR CITY IS CONCERNED. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT RELY ON THE MEANS OF EATING AND PROVIDE FOR THE FAMILY. WE CAN'T TAKE IT LIGHTLY. NOT TO MENTION, FOR ME, IT'S MORE OF A SPORT. I ENJOY FISHING AND THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE THAT ENJOY FISHING AND WERE USING IT FOR THAT PURPOSE. SO IF WHAT WE ARE ACCUSTOMED TO IS IN CONFLICT WITH WHAT THE PEOPLE THAT PAID FOR THE BRIDGE, TO HAVE A FIX, THAN WHAT WE'VE BEEN WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS -- AS YOU'RE DOING, PUT EVERYTHING IN PLACE. THOSE TO BE IN POWER AS WE POINTED OUT, WE HAVE TO PETITION THEM BY WHATEVER NEEDS NECESSARY TO GET BACK TO WHAT WE ARE USING IT FOR BUT IN THE MEANTIME, AS FAR AS THE PUBLIC INFORMATION IS CONCERNED MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT. THERE ARE INDIVIDUALS OUT THERE THAT ARE ENFORCING THE LAW AND THERE IS A STAGE PATROL OFFICER OUT THERE THAT'S WRITING PEOPLE. SO BE CAREFUL WHILE THERE MAY NOT BE A PROHIBITION AS FAR AS THE CITY IS CONCERNED THERE'S AN OFFICER OUT THERE WRITING INDIVIDUALS. SO BE CAREFUL AND FOLLOW THE LAW. WORK WITH US AND HOPEFULLY, WE WILL BE ABLE TO GET THIS SITUATION STRAIGHTENED OUT. BUT RIGHT NOW, AS IT'S BEEN POINTED OUT YOU PUT ON NOTICE. YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED EFFICIENT CERTAIN AREAS UNTIL WE CAN GET IT STRAIGHTENED OUT. ABIDE BY THE LAW BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT YOU TO GET IN TROUBLE.

>> THANKS FOR YOUR PROACTIVE MEASURES. HE WILL HOLD ONTO THAT.

>> THANK YOU. >> THE ODDITY OF THE ENTIRE THING IS THAT THE BRIDGE ENGINEERS IN THE TRAFFIC ENGINEERS ARE TALKING ABOUT LIGHTING, BUT THE SAME BREACHES HAVE LIGHTING UNDERNEATH IT. SO THERE CHALLENGING UPON

LIGHTING. >> IT'S ALL LIT UP. IT'S AN INTERESTING SET OF ARGUMENTS. AND IT SHOULD BE OPEN POSITION -- TO FISHING.

>>MAYOR HUDSON: THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS.

>> MY LAST UPDATE AS I'M GOING TO GIVE THIS PEGGY AND PETE SWEENEY TO HELP ME OUT THERE GOING TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE AS TO WHERE WE ARE WITH OUR NEGOTIATION WITH ST. LUCIE COUNTY REGARDING OUR INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT FOR ANIMAL SHELTERING SERVICES AND THE ANIMAL SHELTER PROSPECTIVELY LOCATED ON SAVANNA ROAD.

>> GOOD EVENING. I WAS HOPEFUL THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE A FINALIZED INTERLOCAL TO HAVE BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IT MIGHT'VE BEEN OVERLY OPTIMISTIC THAT WE WOULD GET IT DONE. WE ONLY MET ROUGHLY 2 WEEKS AGO WITH THE COUNTY AND HASHED OUT ALL THE ITEMS THAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR FROM EACH PARTY. PRESENTED THAT TO THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. THEY DID A FABULOUS JOB PUTTING TOGETHER ALL OUR RANDOM THOUGHTS. WE RAN OUT OF TIME BETWEEN THE TWO

[00:55:04]

JURISDICTIONS GOING BACK AND FORTH. WE ARE DOWN TO TWO ITEMS THAT WE ARE DISCUSSING AND TRYING TO COME TO A SOLUTION ON.

I'M EXCITED THAT IT'S GOING TO GET DONE SOON TO BE BROUGHT BACK BEFORE YOU.

>> YOU'RE OPTIMISTIC? >> I WAS MAYBE A LITTLE OVERLY OPTIMISTIC IN GETTING IT DONE IN 10 DAYS BUT WE ARE STILL WORKING ON THAT.

>>MAYOR HUDSON: ANYTHING TO ADD, MR. SWEENEY?

>> MADAME MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS, THANK YOU ALL. IT WAS NICE OF YOU TO SAY. WE DID START FROM NOTHING. THERE WAS NO DOCUMENT THAT REALLY WE COULD BUILD OFF OF OTHER THAN JUST A GENERALIZED IDEA OF AN ILA AND GIVEN THE FACT THAT PREVIOUSLY ANIMAL SHELTER SERVICES HAVE BEEN DONE UNDER A DOCUMENT DRAFTED DECADES AGO WITH ANOTHER PARTY INVOLVED. WE WEREN'T SURE WHERE PERPORT ST. LUCIE WOULD BE INVOLVED UNTIL A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. SO IT WAS AN EVOLVING PROCESS. WE ARE CLOSE. I FULLY EXPECT IT WILL BE EXECUTED. FOR YOU AND YOUR APPROVAL QUICKLY. BUT WE WERE JUST NOT QUITE THERE AND IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO BRING SOMETHING THAT IS NOT TOTALLY IN ITS BEST FINAL FORM BEFORE YOU. THUS THE ONLY WAY WE CAN

BRING IT TO YOU. >>MAYOR HUDSON: WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW WITH THE BUILDING , SAVANNA? RIGHT NOW? THE BUILDING IS JUST THERE. AS A MATTER OF FACT, WE ARE STILL REMOVING -- I THINK ALL THE TRASH IS OUT. WE'VE DONE OUR ASSESSMENT AND CALCULATIONS AS FAR AS OUR INITIAL PRELIMINARY ESTIMATES BUT I DON'T THINK

THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE. >>MAYOR HUDSON: WE ARE NOT WORKING ON IMPROVING IT NOW. ARE WE WAITING FOR THAT AGREEMENT?

>> YES, MA'AM. I BELIEVE WE WOULD HAVE BETTER SUCCESS WORKING TOGETHER WITH ST. LUCIE COUNTY. ST. LUCIE COUNTY OFFERED TO BRING THEIR WIDE ARRAY OF EXPERTS AND SKILLED TRADESMEN OVER TO THE FORT PIERCE LOCATION TO ASSIST IN THIS REHABILITATION. AND I THINK IT WOULD BE ADVANTAGEOUS FOR US TO ALLOW THAT COHESIVE WORKING AGREEMENT TO MOVE FORWARD. PEGGY, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD?

>> NO, SIR. >>MAYOR HUDSON: COMMISSIONER

PERRONE OF. >>COMMISSIONER PERONA: THIS

AGREEMENT IS AT THE COUNTY? >> YES WE ARE WAITING FOR RESPONSE OF THE COUNTY AND THEN SOMETHING MIGHT'VE COME UP OVER THE WEEKEND.

>> RIGHT. IT'S OUT OF OUR HANDS. THE BALL HAS BOUNCED OVER TO THE COUNTY. THE COUNTY IS TAKING IT AND NO MAKE DECISIONS AND WHEN YOU GET OUT -- THE TWO LITTLE WRINKLES AND

IT. >> I BELIEVE WE ARE DOWN TO TWO

ITEMS. >> YOU GET THAT WORKED OUT.

AND WE EXPECT THIS THING TO BE COMPLETED IN THE NEXT 7 TO 10 DAYS I WOULD SAY BECAUSE THE LAST TIME I TALKED TO A COUNTY COMMISSIONER, THEY SAID WE HAVE IT WE HAVEN'T GIVEN IT TO THEM.

I KNOW STAFF HAS GOADED. WE ARE GOING TO STAY OUT OF IT BUT I WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT IT SAT COUNTY RIGHT NOW FOR THEM TO GO THROUGH IT ALL AND TO RESPOND TO THAT INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT.

>> I BELIEVE OUR RESPONSE WAS PROVIDED TO THEM ON FRIDAY AND THEN TODAY IS JUST MONDAY. SO THEY NEED TIME TO DISCUSS OUR COMMENTS AND REVIEW IT AND IT STILL IN NEGOTIATION. BUT WE WENT THROUGH A LOT AND OF MANY THINGS HAVE BEEN AGREED UPON WE ARE READY TO MOVE FORWARD BUT THERE IS ONE OR TWO ITEMS LEFT THAT WE WILL NEED TO RESOLVE FIRST.

>> EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, AN ATTORNEY HAS -- THEY JUST CAN'T PULL SOMETHING OFF THE BOILERPLATE. IT HAS TO BE CREATIVE. I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT -- IT HAS TO COME FROM AND START AT SQUARE ONE AND BUILD THIS WHOLE THING OUT. SO IT'S GOOD TO SEE THAT CAN

HAPPEN HERE AT THE CITY. >> AND I KNOW THE COUNTY IS ANXIOUS TO GET OUT OF WHERE THEY ARE. A COUPLE OF COMMISSIONERS HAVE TALKED TO ME ABOUT THAT. SO, I'M SURE THAT THEY'RE INTERESTED IN MOVING IT ALONG. I FEEL LIKE WE ARE INTERESTED. NOBODY IS DRAGGING THEIR FEET, CORRECT?

>> ON EITHER SIDE. >> AND THE OTHER POINT IS THE EXTENSION OF THE CURRENT AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTY. HAS THAT BEEN EXTENDED?

>> WE ARE IN NEGOTIATIONS ON THAT ALSO. THERE'S ONE ITEM MORE DOWN TO AND AGAIN, THOSE COMMENTS WERE RETURNED TO THE COUNTY ON FRIDAY AND HOPEFULLY WILL HAVE AN ANSWER SOON.

>> THAT'S AT THE COUNTY AUTHORITY.

>> ALL RIGHT. SO THE BALL HAS BEEN BOUNCED THEIR WAY.

>> OFF OUR LIST ONTO THERE'S. >> FOR NOW.

>> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? >> ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD?

>> ALL RIGHT THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> I WILL CLOSE WITH WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT CREATING A DOCUMENT, AN AGREEMENT THAT'S GONNA LAST FOR 20 YEARS, YOU DON'T WANT TO RUSH IT.

>> THAT'S RIGHT. WE DON'T. >> DON'T YOU NORMALLY SAY THAT WHEN THE CLOCKS RUNNING IN YOUR CHARGING IS FORD.

>> OKAY. WITH THOSE OF THE ITEMS.

[01:00:02]

>> MADAME MAYOR, THOSE WERE ALL OF THE UPDATES AND WE CAN CONTINUE ON WITH THE AGENDA AS

AND WE WANT EVERYONE TO BE ON BOARD AT THE BEGINNING. SO IT WILL BE PART OF THE TREE REMOVAL PERMIT APPLICATION SO THAT THOSE TWO GO HAND-IN-HAND.

>> I JUST HOPE THAT WE ARE UNIFORM AND MAKE SURE THAT AS WE GO INTO A SUBURBAN AREA, OR AN URBAN AREA THAT HAS A LOT OF TREES, WE TAKE THIS INTO CONSIDERATION, ESPECIALLY OUT ON DRINKING ROAD AREA.
