I WOULD FIRST JUST TO COVER SOME QUICK THINGS HERE.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT SENIOR.

ALL I KNOW IS THAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO COME WITH WITH EXTRAVAGANZA, SO I PUT ON MY MEDIUM SHIRT. BUT THE BEES HAVE HIT ME.

I CALLED BULGES AND BALDNESS.

SO I'M WAITING FOR MY NEXT SHIRT TO BE ONE SIZE LARGER.

WOULD YOU PLEASE LOOK AT THE PERSON NEXT TO YOU AND SAY, SMILE, IT'S NOT THAT BAD.

[00:10:01]

THESE THESE IS JUST A SMALL TIDBIT OF THE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THAT COME TO MAKE CHRISTMAS EXTRAVAGANZA. WHAT IT IS THE GREATEST PARTY CHRISTMAS PARTY ON THE SPACE COAST.

AND SO I'M PROUD TO HAVE IT HERE IN PALM BAY AND TO BE HERE FOR FOR THE PEOPLE OF PALM BAY. I WAS JUST THINKING ON MY WAY OVER HERE.

PEOPLE GET UP IN THE MORNING, EARLY AND SOMETIMES LATE AT NIGHT TO GO TO WORK.

THEY MAKE BUSINESSES PROSPER.

THE BUSINESSES, BECAUSE OF HARDWORKING PEOPLE LIKE LIKE YOU ALL, I'D LIKE TO SAY LIKE ME TO MAKE THE BUSINESS PROSPEROUS.

THEN WHEN THEY GET THEIR PAYCHECK, THEY GO OUT AND THEY SPEND THEIR MONEY AT THE BUSINESSES TO MAKE THEM PROSPEROUS.

AND NOT ONLY THAT, THEY BUY HOUSES AND THEY PAY THEIR TAXES, PROPERTY TAXES TO MAKE THE CITY PROSPEROUS AND AFTER THEY'VE DONE ALL OF THAT.

WHAT A GREAT TIME TO GET EVERYBODY THAT HAS PROSPERED BECAUSE OF HARD WORKING PEOPLE.

TO JOIN TOGETHER AND ON ONE DAY OUT OF THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FIVE DAYS TO BE ABLE TO SAY, I WANT TO THANK THE WORKERS AND THE PEOPLE OF PALM BAY FOR WHAT THEY'VE DONE ALL YEAR TO MAKE PALM BAY THE GREATEST CITY ON THE FACE OF THIS EARTH.

AND SO, INDEED, BUSINESSES AND IF YOU'RE A BUSINESSMAN AND YOU'RE WATCHING ON VIDEO, I SAY, ARE YOU ARE YOU PART OF IT YET? THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE COMMUNITY, WHETHER BY GIFT CARDS, WHETHER BY OFFERING FREE THINGS, WHETHER BY FINANCING THIS EVENT, SO THAT IT CAN REMAIN FREE. WE WANT TO JUST SAY THAT THE GOVERNMENT, THE SCHOOLS, THE CHURCHES, THE BUSINESSES ARE ALL LOCKING ARMS TO CELEBRATE YOU.

NOW YOU MIGHT BE ASKING, WHY DO WE DO THIS? THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION.

IN OUR FAITH, WE BELIEVE LOVE IS CELEBRATED ALL OVER THE WORLD.

WE BELIEVE LOVE IS WHAT KEEPS US UNITED.

WE BELIEVE LOVE COVERS MULTITUDE OF FAULTS.

WE BELIEVE THAT GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON.

AND IN THAT GIFT, WE FIND JOY.

AND LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION WHICH OF YOU DON'T LIKE RECEIVING A PRESENT AT ANY TIME OF THE YEAR? DOESN'T IT MAKE YOU FEEL HAPPY TO RECEIVE AND THE ONE WHO'S GIVING IT, DOESN'T IT MAKE THAT PERSON JUST AS HAPPY? AND SO I BELIEVE GOD SMILES WHEN WE GIVE.

LOOKING AT. CHRISTINE? OH, I'M SORRY.

PLEASURE, EMMA. WE'RE GOING TO SWITCH UP.

[00:15:09]

OUR NEXT PROCLAMATION IS REGARDING CYBER BULLYING AND CYBER STALKING PREVENTION MONTH.

STEPPED FORWARD. MICHELLE FORMIC FORMICA.

THANKS FOR BEING WITH US.

YES, MA'AM. YES, MA'AM.

I REMEMBER. IT IS HEREBY PROCLAIMED BY THE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY.

THANK YOU. OR A CYBER BULLYING? CYBER STALKING IS DEFINED AS ANY ACT OF BULLYING STALKING DONE THROUGH THE INTERNET.

DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES AND MOBILE ELECTRONIC DEVICES.

IT IS PHYSICAL, VERBAL, SEXUAL OR EMOTIONAL HARM OR INTIMIDATION INTENTIONALLY DIRECTED AT A PERSON OR A GROUP OF PEOPLE.

AND WHEREAS VARIOUS RESEARCHERS HAVE CONCLUDED THAT CYBER BULLYING AND CYBER STALKING IS ONE OF THE MOST COMMON FORMS OF VIOLENCE AFFECTING MILLIONS OF AMERICAN CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS AND ADULTS ANNUALLY.

AND WHEREAS TARGETS OF BULLYING ARE MORE LIKELY TO ACQUIRE PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL AND LEARNING PROBLEMS, STUDENTS WHO ARE REPEATEDLY BULLIED OFTEN FEAR ACTIVITIES SUCH AS RIDING ON THE BUS, GOING TO SCHOOL AND ATTENDING COMMUNITY FUNCTIONS.

OVER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY THOUSAND KIDS SKIP SCHOOL EACH DAY DUE TO THE FEAR OF NOT BEING PROTECTED.

ADULTS WHO ARE BEING BULLIED BECOME RECLUSIVE.

AND WHEREAS CHILDREN ARE OUR HIGHEST AND MOST, MOST IMPORTANT PRIORITY, CHILDREN WHO BULLY NOT ONLY GROW INTO ADULT BULLIES BUT ARE ALL AT A GREATER RISK OF ENGAGING IN MORE SERIOUS AND VIOLENT BEHAVIORS AND MORE LIKELY NOT TO FINISH SECONDARY SCHOOLING.

AND WHEREAS PALM BAY SCHOOLS, STUDENTS, PARENTS, RECREATION PROGRAMS, RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS PARK A FOUNDATION FOR AUTISM AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT, WHICH IS A PACER CENTER CHAMPION AGAINST BULLYING PARTNERS AND SOKE SUPPORTING OUR ASD KIDS INCORPORATED ARE ENCOURAGED TO ENGAGE IN A VARIETY OF AWARENESS AND PRESENTATION ACTIVITIES.

DOES DESIGN TO MAKE OUR COMMUNITIES SAFE FOR ALL CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS, WHEREAS ADULT VICTIMS DEALING WITH CYBER BULLIES ARE ENCOURAGED TO RECORD EVERYTHING? CONTACT THEIR LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT AND UTILIZE ONLINE RESOURCES SUCH AS CYBER SMILE DAUG OR CYBER BULLYING DAUG FOR PREVENTIVE AND SAFETY MEASURES.

THE U.S. FEDERAL CYBER STALKING LAW IS DESIGNED TO PROSECUTE PEOPLE FOR USING ELECTRONIC MEANS TO REPEATEDLY HARASS OR THREATEN SOMEONE ONLINE.

ALTHOUGH THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE FOR ADULTS, THERE ARE RESOURCES DEDICATED TO HELPING ADULT VICTIMS DEAL WITH CYBER BULLYING LEGALLY AND EFFECTIVELY AND EFFECTIVELY.

NOW, THEREFORE, I RA MEDINA, MAYOR OF THE GREATEST CITY ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH, PALM BAY, BY VIRTUE OF THE AUTHORITY OF SAID OFFICE, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM DECEMBER TWENTY TWENTY ONE AS CYBER BULLYING, CYBER STALKING PREVENTION MONTH AND URGE ALL OUR CITIZENS OF PALM BAY TO WORK TOWARD THE ELIMINATION OF BULLYING.

IN OUR COMMUNITY AND TO CONTINUE TO SPEAK OUT AND MEASURE OUR CHILDREN OR REASSURE OUR CHILDREN AND ADULTS IN THAT THEY ARE NOT ALONE IN WITNESS HERE OF I'VE SAID ON TO MY, I SET MY HAND AND CAUSE THE SEAL OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY TO BE AFFIXED THE SECOND DAY OF DECEMBER 2021.

THANK YOU, MA'AM. THE REASON THAT I DECIDED TO DO CYBER BULLYING THIS YEAR IS FOR TWO YEARS, I WAS A VICTIM OF CYBER BULLYING AND STILL GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS BY ANOTHER ADULT FROM A DIFFERENT STATE.

BUT IT BECAME WHERE IT STARTED OUT AS A.

YOU KNOW, BACK AND FORTH BANTER, NOT ANYTHING UNHEALTHY.

AND THEN IT STARTED TO GET A LITTLE BIT MORE HEATED.

AND THE REASON I DECIDED TO GO THIS ROUTE IS BECAUSE AS A 53 YEAR OLD WOMAN, JANUARY 1ST, NOT YET. I FOUND THAT THE RESOURCES.

WE'RE HARD TO FIND.

THEY JUST THEY'RE THERE, JUST HAVE TO KNOW WHERE TO LOOK.

[00:20:03]

TODAY ON THE NEWS IT WAS FEATURED EXACTLY THAT.

WE'RE SOCIAL MEDIA IS.

I SAY I SAY THIS WITH DUE DILIGENCE, IF SOMEBODY COMES TO YOU, NO MATTER IF THEY ARE TWO OR TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY TO VALIDATE WITH THEM, VALIDATION IS SOMETHING I SOUGHT OUT BECAUSE WHAT I HEARD WAS YOU'RE 50 TO IGNORE THEM.

THE FIRST THING WAS OFF THE INTERNET WENT OFF THE INTERNET.

CYBER STALKERS ARE BULLIES.

THEY'RE KEYBOARD STRONG.

SO THE NEXT THING THEY DO IS THEY GO AFTER PEOPLE THAT ARE WITH YOU TO BRING YOU BACK OUT AGAIN. SO WE WENT THAT ROUTE.

SO WHAT DID WHAT WE DECIDED TO DO WAS ON DECEMBER 21ST, 1990.

I SAW MY NEPHEW, DAVID, TAKE HIS FIRST BREATH OF AIR.

AND ON JULY 21ST, 15 YEARS AGO, THE LORD CALLED HIM HOME AND HE WAS OK WITH THAT.

FOURTEEN YEARS AGO, WE STARTED DAVID SMILE, WHICH WAS HIS DREAM THAT NO CHILD FOR THE AGE OF 11 WOULD KNOW WHAT CANCER WAS.

AND IN THAT TIME FRAME, AN 11 YEAR OLD MIND FROM 11 TO 15, HIS MIND GREW AS TO WHAT HE WANTED THE CAUSE TO BE.

AND SMILE WAS ALL ABOUT IT.

SO WE INCORPORATED DAVID SMILE INTO EVERYTHING FROM KIDS WITH TERMINALLY CHRONICALLY ILL.

WE HAVE NOW ADDED SUICIDAL PEOPLE THAT ARE HAVING SOME MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, USO AND THIS YEAR, ESPECIALLY BEING HIS, IT'LL BE HIS 31ST BIRTHDAY, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A STORY FIRST BIRTHDAY. WE ARE GOING FULL STEAM AHEAD WITH DOING FOR.

WE USED TO DO A DEMOGRAPHIC, I'M SORRY, WE USED TO DO A DEMOGRAPHIC WHERE WE WOULD.

WE STARTED OUT MAKING SUPERHERO CAPES.

WE ONLY WERE KNOWN BY THE NON-MONETARY DIVISION HOSPITALS BECAUSE WE WEREN'T LOOKING FOR THAT A BOY OR GIRL.

MY MOTHER AND I HAVE FIVE HUNDRED CAPES, SUPERHERO CAPES.

LATER, IT STARTED TO GROW AND WE STARTED TO SEE A REALLY NEED FOR PEOPLE JUST TO SMILE.

AND IT'S FACTUAL IF YOU WALK DOWN THE STREET AND YOU LOOK AT SOMEBODY AND YOU SMILE.

THEIR IMMEDIATE REACTION IS GOING TO BE SMILE BACK.

IT COSTS YOU ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

AND THAT SMILE COULD MAKE OR BREAK THAT PERSON'S DAY.

IT COULD BE THAT THAT PERSON WAS HAVING SOME SUICIDE IDEATIONS OR SOME DIFFICULTY WITH STRUGGLING WITH SOMETHING IN SCHOOL.

AND BECAUSE YOU SMILE AT THEM, IT COMPLETELY TOOK THEM OFF THAT TRACK AND PUT THEM ON ANOTHER TRACK. SO WE URGE PEOPLE TO BE KIND.

YOU KNOW, SMILE MORE.

YEAH, WE'RE GOING TO DONATE A FEW IF CHRISTMAS.

I HAVE A MS.. SAY FOR ME.

YEAH, IF YOU CONTACT ME, WE WILL DONATE DAVID SMIL, WE'LL DONATE GIFTS TO YOU TO HELP OUT WHICH WE.

SO OUR MISSION IS WE SEND OUT OVER A HUNDRED CARDS AND SMALL PACKAGES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND NOW NEW ZEALAND AND AUSTRALIA.

SO GET IN CONTACT WITH ME AND WE'LL MAKE IT HAPPEN.

SO. THANK YOU, MAYOR.

THANK YOU.

GENTLEMEN.

WE'RE GOING ON TO PRESENTATIONS MADAME SHERMAN, YOU WANTED TO.

[PRESENTATIONS]

TONIGHT, IT'S MY PLEASURE TO HAVE OUR PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR, MHOOL BURAK, COME BEFORE YOU AND OF THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.

HE'LL PROVIDE INFORMATION, JUST GENERAL INFORMATION FOR THE PUBLIC ABOUT THINGS WE DO.

BUT THEN WE'RE ALSO GOING TO GET INTO DETAILS ABOUT ITEMS THAT HAVE COME UP BEFORE YOU

[00:30:03]

SO WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT AS WELL TONIGHT.

THANK YOU, MA'AM. YES, SIR.

GOOD EVENING. MADELINE COUNCILMAN, PALM BAY PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR.

SO TODAY I'M HERE TO PRESENT THE OVERVIEW OF THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.

IT HAS BEEN FOUR MONTHS SINCE I'VE BEEN APPOINTED THE DIRECTOR OF THIS DEPARTMENT, SO I THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD TIME TO GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE DEPARTMENT, WHAT ARE THE NEEDS OF THE DEPARTMENT AS IT STANDS NOW? SO IN THIS PRESENTATION, I'LL BE COVERING ALL THESE SECTIONS THAT PUBLIC WORKS SERVICE, ROAD BOND PAVING PROGRAMS, PIPELINE REVIEWS, ENGINEERING AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS FROM WATER UTILITY UPDATE, FLEET OPERATIONS, SURVEYING CUSTOMER SERVICE, SOLID WASTE, INFRASTRUCTURE MAINTENANCE AND EMPLOYEE NEEDS AND MORALE.

A DOWN INTO THE ROAD PAVING PROGRAM, SO AS YOU KNOW OF PALM BAY HAS ADOPTED THE EIGHT YEARS OF ROAD BOND PAVING PROGRAM AS DIVIDED IN FIVE PHASES.

AS YOU CAN SEE, ALL THESE PHASES ARE SCHEDULED ACCORDING TO THE FISCAL YEARS.

LET ME GIVE YOU THE CURRENT STATUS.

IT'S COLOR CODED BASED ON WHICH UNITS ARE GOING TO BE PAID WHEN THE PHASE ONE OF THIS TRAINING PROGRAM STARTED IN 2019, AND WE HAVE COMPLETED ALL THE ROADS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED IN THIS PHASE AND ALL THE PAYMENT HAS BEEN DONE FOR THOSE ROADS.

PHASE TWO, IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE IN 2021.

HOWEVER, WE RAN INTO SOME ISSUES WITH MICRO SURFACING AND SOME CHALLENGES, SO WE HAD TO REARRANGE OUR PROGRAM TO ACCOMMODATE THAT.

WE HAD AT 55 PERCENT, BUT WE ARE PRETTY CONFIDENT THAT BY THE END OF THIS FISCAL YEAR, THIS PHASE ALSO WILL BE COMPLETED ALONG WITH THE PHASE THREE.

THIS IS A PLAN FOR PHASE THREE, WHICH IS SCHEDULED FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR TO BE DONE.

WE ALREADY COMPLETED ALL THE DESIGN WORK FOR THE PIPE REPAIRS BEFORE THE ROAD CAN BE PAVED. AND ONCE THAT WORK IS DONE, THE ROAD WE'RE PAVING WILL START AROUND AROUND THE MIDDLE OF THE FISCAL YEAR. I.

PLEASE FORWARD. THIS IS A ROAD BORNE PAVING PROGRAM FOR TWENTY TO TWENTY THREE.

THAT'S THE SCHEDULED TO START IN FISCAL YEAR 2022.

WE ARE RIGHT NOW WORKING ON THE DESIGN OF THE PIPES FOR THIS ROAD.

SO THIS PARTICULAR PHASE SHOULD BE READY TO GO FOR CONSTRUCTION IN OCTOBER INSTEAD OF WAITING UNTIL OCTOBER FOR THE PIPE WORK.

THE NEXT SECTION, WE HAVE THE SITE PLAN REVIEW AND PERMITS THAT WE ISSUED FROM PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT WHEN WE REVIEWED THE SITE PLAN REVIEW PROCESS.

IT'S CURRENTLY PERFORMED BY THREE ENGINEERS AND TWO TECHNICIANS.

THERE ARE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.

WE REVIEWED THE CURRENT LEVEL OF SERVICE THAT WE HAVE BEEN PROVIDING THAT NEEDS SOME IMPROVEMENT. SO STARTING, YOU KNOW, FEW AFTER A FEW MONTHS, WE ARE TRYING TO GET TO TWO WEEKS OF TURNAROUND FOR ALL THE SITE PLANS THAT WE'RE REVIEWING FOR THE CITY.

WE ARE DOING BIWEEKLY MEETING WITH OUR MAJOR STAKEHOLDERS TO EXPEDITE THE REVIEW PROCESS AND MONITOR THE PROGRESS BECAUSE WE HAVE SO MUCH DEVELOPMENT GOING AROUND IN THE CITY.

IT IS HARD TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT A DEVELOPER HAS PROMISED, WHAT IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CITY.

SO WE ARE HAVING. YOU KNOW, OVERALL MEETING TO GO OVER WHERE WE ARE, WHERE WE STAND, WHERE IS THE TIMELINE FOR THE IMPROVEMENTS SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO MAKE ANY DECISIONS IN IN RUSH? WE ARE RIGHT NOW CURRENTLY ADVERTISED THREE POSITIONS IN THIS SECTION TO HELP EXPEDITE THE REVIEWS.

UM, ANOTHER PARLIAMENTARY ISSUE IS THE DRIVE AND DRAINAGE PERMITS.

THIS HAS BEEN THIS HAS BEEN TALKED QUITE A BIT ABOUT IN THIS IN THE CITY.

WHEN I JOINED AS A PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR, THIS WAS ONE OF THE FIRST TASKS I WAS ASKED TO ADDRESS. SO WHEN WE REVIEWED THE PROCESS, WE SAW THAT STAFF WAS PROVIDING A LOT OF INFORMATION TO CONTRACTORS.

THAT WAS THEIR OWN RESPONSIBILITY.

SO WE CHANGED THE PROCESS STARTING OCTOBER ONE, WHERE THEY HAVE TO PROVIDE SIGN AND SEAL DESIGNED BY PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS OR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT AND TO REDUCE OUR BACKLOG.

SO AFTER OCTOBER ONE, ON OCTOBER ONE, WE HAD 475 PERMITS FROM THE OLD PROCESS AS OF NOVEMBER 22ND.

WE ARE DOWN TO TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY AND HOPEFULLY BY THE END OF DECEMBER MIDDLE OF JANUARY, THAT BACKLOG WILL BE GONE TO.

WITH THE NEW PROCESS, WE ARE PROMISED TO DEVELOP A TWO WEEK TURNAROUND IN THEIR PERMITTING. AND AS OF NOW, WE HAVE ISSUED EVERY SINGLE PERMIT THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED AFTER OCTOBER ONE. SO IN ENGINEERING AND SIP, THE BIGGEST PROJECT WE HAVE IS A MALABAR ROAD WIDENING PROJECT AND STUDIES IN PROGRESS.

IT'S ABOUT TO BE CONCLUDED.

SO WE ARE SCHEDULED A MEETING WITH THE BREVARD COUNTY TO GO OVER THE COST SHARING AND THE FEASIBILITY OF WIDENING THE ROAD AND THE OWNERSHIP WHERE IT STANDS.

AS OF NOW, WE HAVE BABCOCK ROAD, ST.

JOHN'S HERITAGE PARKWAY INTERSECTION WIDENING, WHICH IS UNDER THE RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION, PROCESS DESIGN AND PERMITTING IS COMPLETED.

APPROXIMATE COST IS AROUND $4 MILLION, INCLUDING THE RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION.

[00:35:04]

THIS IS SOMETHING NEW THAT WE TRIED LAST YEAR, WHICH HAS BEEN CASTING THE PIPE AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW.

WE HAVE COMPLETED AROUND 900 FEET AROUND IN A YEAR OR SO, AROUND JUNE 22.

WE WILL RESPECT THE PIPE TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY ISSUES.

IF THAT IS, THERE IS NO ISSUES WITH THE PIPE, THEN WE WILL SCHEDULE THE REST OF THE 2000 FEET PIPE THAT IS LEFT BEFORE PAVING THE ROAD.

SO WE ARE EXPECTING TO PAVE THE ROAD AROUND 2022 23.

I. FERGUSON ROAD BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION AT NINE CANAL, THE CONSTRUCTION CONSULTANT SELECTION IS GOING TO BE IN JANUARY.

THESE ARE THE THREE BOX CULVERTS THAT WE HAVE COMPLETED THE DESIGN, BUT WE ARE WAITING ON PERMITS FROM THE WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICTS.

THESE ARE PART OF OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS PROGRAM AND WE WILL BE USING STORMWATER UTILITY FUNDS FOR THESE CROSSINGS.

WE HAVE SOME MINOR PIPE CROSSING FOR ROAD PROGRAM THAT WE HAVE TO DO.

THESE ARE WE CONSIDER THAT HIGH PRIORITY.

THERE WILL BE OUTSOURCING SOME OF THE WORK TO ALLEVIATE WORK LOAD FROM OUR EXISTING STAFF. IN ADDITION, THE ENGINEERING DIVISION ALSO IS GOING TO UPDATE THE PUBLIC WORKS MANUAL. IT'S AN OLD DOCUMENT THAT WE NEED TO REVISIT WITH THE CURRENT STANDARDS OF LED IMPROVEMENTS AND OTHER CRITERIA.

IN ENGINEERING ALSO INCLUDES TRAFFIC OPERATIONS, WE WILL MAINTAIN ALL THE TRAFFIC SIGNALS IN THE CITY. TRAFFIC SIGNAL IMPROVEMENTS.

WE HAVE JUST GOT A BRAND NEW PRINTER WHERE WE ARE WRAPPING ALL THE VEHICLES, AS YOU CAN SEE IN A LOT OF POLICE VEHICLES HAVE GOOD ARTWORK ON THEM.

WE ARE TRYING TO IMPROVE SOME OF OUR FACILITIES WITH THAT UNIT THAT WE HAVE GOT.

THEY ALSO PERFORM TRAFFIC COUNTING AND CAPACITY ANALYSIS FOR THE ROADWAYS.

AND THAT SECTION NEEDS A CITY TRAFFIC ENGINEER.

THAT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO LOOK FORWARD TO COMING, COMING FUTURE.

IF NOT, WE'LL PROBABLY OUTSOURCE THAT PARTICULAR TASK.

STORM WATER UTILITY UPDATES, SO THIS IS THE ONLY FUNDING SOURCE WE HAVE FOR ALL STORMWATER RELATED FUNCTIONS LIKE, YOU KNOW, MAINTENANCE, MOWING CANAL, CANAL CLEANING, DITCHING PONDS, IMPROVEMENT, TREE TRIMMING, SPRAYING OF THE RIGHT AWAY STREET, SWEEPING TRENCHING OR DREDGING WORK THAT WE DO, AND STORMWATER STRONG INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT LIKE PIPING, PIPE CULVERT REPLACEMENT, OR WE'RE ENHANCING THE PONDS AND CANALS.

IT ALSO INCLUDES OUR PLAN FOR INSTALLING BAFFLE BOXES BUT BAFFLE BOXES WE HAVE.

WE ARE ACQUIRING A LOT OF STATE GRANTS MOVING FORWARD.

SO STORM WATER UTILITY, AS OF NOW, APPROXIMATELY $13 MILLION ARE IN THE RESERVES WE HAVE NOT THAT IS UNFUNDED.

WE ARE TRYING TO DO STORM WATER MASTERPLAN USING THESE FUNDS.

IT CAN BE USED FOR OUTSOURCING CANAL AND POND MAINTENANCE, PIPE REPLACEMENT, PIPE REPLACEMENT, PROJECT SLIP LINING OF PIPES, AND WE CAN BUY EQUIPMENT FOR MAINTENANCE WORK STORMWATER EXEMPTIONS.

AS YOU KNOW, WE WHEN WE BROUGHT TO THE BUDGET, WE HAVE REVIEWED AND FOUND SOME DISCREPANCIES AND HOW THESE EXEMPTIONS WERE GIVEN WHERE WE HAD OUR CONSULTANT RE VERIFIED ALL THE EXEMPTIONS AND WE HAVE A REVISED LIST THAT WILL BE COMING TO YOU ON THE DECEMBER 16TH MEETING AS AN AGENDA ITEM FOR REVIEW.

FLEET OPERATIONS IS RESPONSIBLE TO MAINTAIN THE ENTIRE CITY'S FLEET, AND THEY HAVE JUST IMPLEMENTED A NEW FOSTER PROGRAM, WHICH IS STREAMLINING THE INVENTORY AND THE THE FUEL USAGE AND MAINTENANCE SO WE CAN, YOU KNOW, EFFECTIVELY MAINTAIN OUR FLEET PUBLIC WORKS FLEET. WHEN WE REVIEWED THE ENTIRE FLEET.

FORTY THREE PERCENT OF OUR EQUIPMENT, OR MORE THAN 15 YEARS OLD.

SO THAT CAN TELL YOU WHY THERE IS THIS LACK OF SERVICE IN PROVIDING MORE IN SERVICE AND AND DREDGING SERVICES IN THE CITY BECAUSE THERE WERE A LOT OF OTHER EQUIPMENT ARE OLD AND THEY GO IN MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR QUITE OFTEN.

WE HAVE LOTS OF PROGRESS HAVE BEEN MADE BY OUR FLEET.

NEW FLEET MANAGER ON THE REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE ACTIVITY OF THE CITY FLEET.

A SERVING, WE HAVE TWO CERTIFIED SERVER SURVEYORS ON STAFF ALONG WITH THEIR SUPPORT STAFF. THEY PROVIDE SUPPORT TO ALL DIVISIONS IN THE CITY, INCLUDING THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS CITYWIDE BENCHMARKING PROGRAM THEY HAVE.

THEY ALSO HELP WITH RIGHT-OF-WAY AND EASEMENT ACQUISITION PROCESS FOR OUR FUTURE CIP.

THEY WORK CLOSELY WITH LEGAL DEPARTMENTS IN PREPARING EASEMENT DOCUMENTATION AND RIGHT AWAY DEDICATIONS. AND THEY ALSO INSPECT INDIVIDUAL NOT GRADING AND PIPE ELEVATIONS.

AND RIGHT AWAY THEY ARE IN NEED FOR NEW VEHICLES AND ADDITIONAL PERSONNEL TO KEEP UP AND KEEP UP WITH THE CURRENT LOAD THAT THEY HAVE.

A SIMILAR SALARIES. THIS IS OUR WE CALL IT, YOU KNOW, THE FRONT LINE OF OUR MAINTENANCE PROGRAM, WHERE THEY RECEIVE ALL THE COMPLAINTS FROM DIFFERENT LEVELS OF THE CITY, THEY VISIT THE SITE, ASSESS THE ISSUE AND PLAN THE WORK THEY UPDATE AND REPORT.

RESPOND TO THE INQUIRIES ONCE COMPLETED.

AND WE HAVE THREE STAFF MEMBERS CURRENTLY WORKING IN THIS SECTION, AND THEY'RE TRYING TO

[00:40:03]

SOLID WASTE, AS YOU KNOW, WE WE HAVE A NEW CONTRACT SINCE LAST YEAR, REPUBLIC SERVICES, THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT, IS TASKED WITH MANAGING THAT CONTRACT.

SO WE WE HAVE STARTED A MONTHLY MEETING WITH REPUBLIC AFTER THE LAST MEETING WITH THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE, AND WE NEED TO HIRE TWO POSITIONS TO MANAGE THIS CONTRACT AND DEAL WITH COMPLAINTS, INSPECTIONS AND EFFICIENCY.

AS OF NOW, NOBODY'S CHECKING THEIR EFFICIENCY PHYSICALLY BY GOING VISITING THE HOUSES AND THE STREETS WHERE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO PERFORM.

SO WE NEED SOME PEOPLE IN THAT SECTION PROCESS FOR ASSESSING LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IN IS IN PROGRESS. WE ARE WORKING WITH THEM.

HOWEVER, A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ARE DECLINING FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS.

WE HAVE ALL WE HAVE SEEN A CONSISTENT DECLINE IN TOTAL COMPLAINTS THAT ABOUT THE TRASH PICKUP. INFRASTRUCTURE MAINTENANCE, THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF OUR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT WHEN YOU LOOK AT WE BASICALLY ARE RESPONSIBLE TO MAINTAIN ALL ROAD RIGHT AWAY, INCLUDING ROADSIDE DITCHES, CANALS, PONDS, CITY OWNED PARCELS AND MINOR PIPE CROSSING POTHOLES AND PAVING POTHOLES AS THEY COME ALONG.

BIGGEST CONCERN WE HAVE IS A MOWING AND TREE OF TRENCHING WORK IN THIS DIVISION, WHERE YOU CAN SEE RIGHT NOW MAJOR ROADS.

THEY CAN ACCOMMODATE UP TO MONTHLY CYCLE COLLECTOR ROADS.

THEY CAN ONLY GET TO THEM EVERY THREE MONTHS.

UNIT MOWING IS AROUND EIGHT TO NINE MONTHS, AND THAT'S OUR BIGGEST COMPLAINT SECTION THAT WE HAVE CANALS AND PONDS MOWING.

IS THAT UP TO SIX MONTHS FREQUENCY? THAT'S OUR CURRENT LEVEL OF SERVICE BASED ON THE STAFF AVAILABILITY, EQUIPMENT SHORTAGE AND EQUIPMENT DOWNTIME.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, WE LIVE IN FLORIDA, SO MOWING GRASS AT EIGHT TO NINE MONTHS DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE, AS YOU CAN SEE.

SO IDEALLY, FOR ANY GOVERNMENT AGENCY TO PROVIDE THIS SERVICE, WE SHOULD BE MOVING ALL THE RIGHT AWAY, WHICH IS VISIBLE TO THE PUBLIC EVERY FOUR TO SIX WEEKS.

THAT MEANS FOUR WEEKS DURING THE SUMMER, SIX WEEKS DURING THE WINTERTIME CANALS CAN PONDS SHOULD BE MORE THAN SIX TO EIGHT WEEKS FREQUENCY BECAUSE THERE IS LESS TRAFFIC THERE.

TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL TO GO FROM EIGHT TO NINE MONTHS TO FOUR TO SIX WEEKS, WE WILL NEED, YOU KNOW, THE STAFF IS NEED OF EQUIPMENT, LABOR AND SOME OUTSOURCING SERVICES.

SO WE'LL BE BALANCED PERFORMING LIKE A BALANCING ACT BETWEEN GETTING NEW EQUIPMENT, HIRING MORE PEOPLE AND OUTSOURCING EXISTING ACTIVITIES THAT ARE CUMBERSOME FOR OUR STAFF.

WHEN YOU DO THAT RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE WE ARE TRYING TO RENT SOME MORE TRACTOR MOWERS SO WE CAN KEEP UP WITH THIS, THIS LEVEL OF SERVICE THAT WE ARE TRYING TO BUILD.

WE HAVE GOT SOME QUOTES AND WE ARE WORKING WITH OUR PROCUREMENT DIVISION TO GET THAT PROCESS SO WE CAN START PROVIDING A BETTER SERVICE STARTING JANUARY ONE.

SO WE MIGHT HAVE TO BRING IT TO THE COUNCIL, BUT WE MAY NOT.

BASED ON OUR BUDGET ALLOCATIONS, I'LL LET YOU KNOW THAT HAPPENS.

AND RIGHT NOW WE HAVE ADVERTISED NINE POSITIONS.

THREE ARE JUST FILLED IN LAST MONTH AND OTHERS ARE IN THE PROCESS OF INTERVIEWS.

WE ARE ALSO TRYING TO OUTSOURCE SOME OF THE CANAL AND POND MAINTENANCE CANAL CLEANING.

SO WE RIGHT NOW WE ARE BUDGETING AROUND HALF A MILLION DOLLARS FOR CANAL CLEANING THAT WILL CONTINUE UNTIL WE MEET THAT SIX TO EIGHT WEEKS FREQUENCY ONCE WE MEET THAT MAINTENANCE FREQUENCY.

OUR CANAL SHIP SHOULD GO DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE YEAR.

THE REASON I PUT THAT PHOTO THERE IS LAST MONTH WE TOOK OUR STAFF TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WORKS ASSOCIATION EXPO, AND SEVEN OR EIGHT OF OUR STAFF MEMBER WERE THERE, ALONG WITH A BUNCH OF OTHER CITY AND COUNTY STAFF FROM ALL OVER THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

SO THEY HAVE THIS EQUIPMENT RODEO WHERE THEY GIVE THEM BRAND NEW EQUIPMENT TO RUN AND PERFORM DIFFERENT TRICKS AND SEE HOW EFFICIENT THEY ARE.

SO OUT OF TOP 10 PERFORMERS, THREE OF THEM ARE ISD OF PALM BAY EMPLOYEES AND MR. DAVID WAS LACHER WAS OUR TOP.

HE WAS THE LEADER. HE GOT THE FIRST PRIZE AND SOME MONEY OUT OF IT, SO CONGRATULATIONS TO HIM. BUT AS I, WHAT I'M TRYING TO SHOW HERE IS THAT WE HAVE A COMPETENT STAFF.

IS HE HERE WITH US TODAY? NO, HE'S NOT. HE'S WATCHING YOU.

HE'S DOING THE TROPHY. NO, I'LL I'LL ASK HIM.

YEAH. SO THAT'S WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE VERY COMPETENT STAFF WHO CAN RUN THIS EQUIPMENT, SO WE SHOULD INVEST SOME MONEY FOR THEM TO GIVE THEM MORE RESOURCES AND AND HELP THEM OUT WITH THEIR SERVICE.

INFRASTRUCTURE MAINTENANCE ALSO RIGHT NOW, I'M NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT MY PUBLIC WORKS YARD WHERE WHERE WE ARE LOCATED AT.

WE ARE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH CURRENT ST.

JOHN'S RIVER WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT PERMITTING PROCESS.

WE HAVE LACK OF COVERED STORAGE.

THAT IS ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS WE HAVE EQUIPMENT THAT IS OLD AND BREAKING DOWN QUITE OFTEN BECAUSE IN THE WEEKENDS YOU SIT IN THE SUN AND DAMAGES THE WHOLE EQUIPMENT.

REPUBLICAN STAFF IS THE FIRST RESPONDERS, SO WE ARE REQUIRED TO CLEAR ALL THE ROADS FOR

[00:45:02]

WE ARE IN BASICALLY TRAILER HOMES.

SO THERE IS A HUGE NEED FOR INDIVIDUAL BUILDING AT THE PUBLIC WORK SITE, WHICH IS HURRICANE SAFE, WHERE WE CAN HOUSE OUR EMPLOYEES DURING THE HURRICANE AND THEY CAN RESPOND RIGHT AFTER THE HURRICANE AND RIGHT NOW.

OTHERWISE, WE HAVE TO RELY ON EITHER CITY HALL OR SOME OTHER FACILITY, WHICH IS HURRICANE SAFE. WE HAVE A LOT OF SEVERAL SMALL STORAGE UNITS SCATTERED ALL OVER THE YARD RIGHT NOW, WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO FIND WHAT THINGS ARE WHERE BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL COVERED.

WE NEED TO ADDRESS THAT ISSUE AND WE ALSO MANAGE A LOT OF SURPLUS EQUIPMENT.

WE HAVE MADE A BIG DENT ON SENDING OUT EQUIPMENT FOR THE SURPLUS, BUT THERE IS STILL A LOT OF EQUIPMENT SITTING IN THE YARD.

SO THIS IS HOW THE YARD LOOKS LIKE RIGHT NOW, AS YOU SEE, AS I SAW, THERE ARE A LOT OF SHED AND STORAGE AREA SCATTERED ALL OVER THE ALL OVER THE YARD TO IMPROVE THIS YARD AND MAKE IT IN COMPLIANCE WITH WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT.

WE HAVE STARTED WORKING ON A PROPOSED SITE PLAN.

SO THIS IS JUST THE OUTLINE OF WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO GET WITH ST.

JOHN'S. WE'LL BE SUBMITTING AS A SITE PLAN APPROVAL FOR THEM SO THAT THEY HAVE OVERALL SITE IN COMPLIANCE.

SO YOU CAN SEE THE THE PINK RECTANGULAR AREA THAT'S ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE YARD.

THAT'S WHERE WE ARE TRYING TO COVER A COVERED STORAGE FOR ALL OF OUR EQUIPMENT.

SO ALL MAJOR EQUIPMENT THAT ARE THAT ARE SITTING IN THE SUN WILL BE GETTING THEM UNDER COVER AND SAFETY.

AND WE'LL TRY TO SEE IF WE CAN SEE SOME ALLIED IMPROVEMENTS WITH THIS PROJECT AND HELP OUT, YOU KNOW, AS MUCH AS WE CAN WITH THE PERMITTING PROCESS.

WE'RE GOING TO ELIMINATE THERE IS ACCESS ON ALL THE SHEDS THAT THEY ARE SITTING IN THE YARD, ACCORDING INCLUDING OUR TRAILER HOMES THAT WE ARE LOCATED IN RIGHT NOW.

THE GREEN PART IS WHERE WE ARE PROPOSING A NEW BUILDING FOR A PUBLIC WORKS COMPLEX.

AS I SAID, THIS IS A CONCEPTUAL PLAN.

IT MAY CHANGE OR, YOU KNOW, WE MAY HAVE TO REVISE IT BASED ON WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT CRITERIA. IT WILL HAVE THEIR OWN.

WE WILL HAVE OUR OWN PARKING LOT ALSO WITH THAT.

SO THAT'S KIND OF A CONCEPTUAL PLAN.

OUR CITY ENGINEER IS WORKING ON THE SUBMITTING THIS PLAN TO THE WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT TO GET PERMITTING AND GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS.

SO EMPLOYEE NEEDS.

SO RIGHT NOW, THIS IS JUST A SUMMARY OF ALL OUR SECTIONS AND CURRENT STAFFING LEVEL, I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH THE NUMBERS, BUT I'VE ALSO ADDED ADDITIONAL LEADS OF 13 POSITIONS. I WILL NOT BE ASKING ALL THESE POSITIONS AT THE SAME TIME, BUT IN COMING MONTHS AS WE AS WE GROW AND AS WE IMPROVE OUR PROGRAM, WE MAY NEED TO FILL A FEW OF THESE POSITIONS. SLOWLY BUT SURELY.

AND LAST THING, I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THE EMPLOYEE MORALE.

SO WE HAVE THIS PICTURE WHERE, YOU KNOW, KEEP BEAUTIFUL.

GIVE US A NICE BEAUTIFICATION AWARD WHERE OUR EMPLOYEES TOOK IT UPON THEMSELVES AND BEAUTIFY THIS ENTRANCE AREA TO PALM BAY.

DEPUTY MAYOR KENNY JOHNSON AND COUNCILMAN WERE GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO PRESENT THERE TO BE PRESENT THERE AND ENCOURAGE OUR STAFF.

I THINK THAT IS WHAT IS MORE NEEDED IN THIS ENVIRONMENT FOR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THE CITY HAS HAD HIS HISTORY WHERE, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF TURMOIL HAS HAPPENED, BUT THESE ARE THE GUYS WHO ARE OUT IN THE OPEN FACING THE MUSIC, SO THEY NEED TO BE APPRECIATED AND THEY NEED TO BE PROVIDED PROPER RESOURCES.

JUST ONE ONE MORE THING THEY TOLD ME TO MENTION IS THAT THERE WERE HIGH HOPES FROM THIS SALARY STUDY THAT MS. CHARLENE HICKOX'S PERFORMING, SO HOPEFULLY IT'LL BE ATTACHED WITH A GOOD WORK PLAN.

SO AND WITH THAT, THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR OUR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.

ALL OF YOU, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'M.

WE MAY THANK YOU, MAYOR, AND THANK YOU, MS. SUZANNE STAFF, MR. MAHO FOR WORKING SO QUICKLY ON THIS ONE, I WAS REQUESTING THAT WE HAVE UPDATES FROM OUR DEPARTMENT HEADS, ESPECIALLY THIS ONE, BECAUSE ASIDE FROM, YOU KNOW, THE BOYS IN BLUE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT, THIS IS JUST AS IMPORTANT.

SO I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR WORKING AS QUICKLY AS YOU DID ON THIS.

MY FIRST QUESTION WE HAVE WE HAVE THE FIGHT PHASES ONE, TWO, THREE AND FOUR FOR THE ROAD BOND FOR PHASE FIVE.

DO YOU CURRENTLY KNOW THE ESTIMATE AS OF NOW FOR THE ROAD PAVING? AS OF NOW, WE DON'T KNOW.

WE WILL REVISE THAT ESTIMATE BASED ON THE BIDS WE RECEIVED.

AS YOU CAN SEE, BECAUSE OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN, THE COST IS CHANGING.

YES, AND THAT'S WHAT THAT'S MY CONCERN RIGHT THERE AND MAKING SURE THAT WE COVER ALL.

YEAH. SO WE WERE LIKE, EVEN IF WE HAVE IT WOULD NOT PUBLISH IT NOW BECAUSE IT'S TOO EARLY IN THE CASE, IT CAN FLUCTUATE EITHER WAY.

YES. OK, YES, SIR.

WITH THE GAS PRICES, IT MAY FLUCTUATE THE WAY WE DON'T WANT IT.

YEAH, YEAH, AGREED.

SO ASIDE FROM THAT, I DEFINITELY LIKE THAT YOU BROUGHT UP REGARDS TO THE INFRASTRUCTURE MAINTENANCE BECAUSE ASIDE FROM LIKE CODE COMPLIANCE CALLS, THESE CANALS ARE THE MAIN CALLS I GET, YOU KNOW, AND YOU AND I, WE TOOK A TOUR AND SAW SOME OF THE AREAS WHERE YOU

[00:50:03]

AND LUCKILY, WE DIDN'T CATCH ANY HURRICANES THIS YEAR.

BUT IF WE DID, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE.

SO I'M DEFINITELY IN FAVOR, YOU KNOW, OF OUTSOURCING.

LIKE RIGHT NOW WE HAVE SIX.

I KNOW YOU SAY YOU'RE INTERVIEWING, BUT WE HAVE SIX POSITIONS OPEN AND THEN WE STILL HAVE TO RENT WHERE IF WE OUTSOURCE, THEY'LL HAVE THE PEOPLE AND THEY'LL HAVE THE EQUIPMENT.

SO I THINK THAT'S THE.

BEST CASE SCENARIO AS OF NOW UNTIL WE GET THERE, SO I'M I'M DEFINITELY IN FAVOR OF THAT.

THAT'S A GOOD STOPGAP, IF I MAY.

RIGHT. IT'S JUST HAD A QUESTION RELATED TO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

THE WHOLE, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE SIX POSITIONS DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON JUST SPOKE ABOUT, RIGHT? JUST HIRED THREE OF THE NINE.

YEAH, CORRECT. WHAT WHAT IS THE TRANSITION TIME FROM WHEN THEY START TO WHEN THEY CAN BEGIN WORK TO ANSWER THAT? OR IS THAT MORE OF MOST OF THESE POSITIONS ARE IN MAINTENANCE AS SOON AS WE HIRE THEM WITHIN ONE OR TWO WEEKS OF INITIAL TRAINING? THEY ARE GOOD WITH EQUIPMENT, SO YOU KNOW, THEY START WORKING WITHIN A WEEK OR TWO.

SO THERE'S NOT A LOT OF BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIVE WORK.

OH, THAT'S DONE BY AIR.

SO WE TALK ABOUT WHEN THEY WHEN THE ONBOARDING STARTS, SO AFTER THEIR ORIENTATION.

SO AIR DOES MOST OF H.R.

DOES MOST OF THE HIRING PROCESS, AND IT'S VERY EXPEDITED.

ALL THESE POSITIONS. AS YOU CAN SEE, WE STARTED THEM OCTOBER ONE AND WE ALREADY HAVE THREE FIELD, WHICH IS A GOOD PROGRESS.

YOU'RE SAYING FROM THE POINT THAT THEY'RE GIVING YOU THE OK WITHIN TWO WEEKS, YOU GOT THEM WORKING. YEAH, THE THE POINT THEY SHOW UP TO PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT GOT TWO WEEKS, THEY GOT WITHIN TWO WEEKS.

THEY SHOULD BE PERFORMING IT AT THAT LEVEL THAT THEN FAST DEPUTY MAYOR, JUST ENTERTAIN ME FOR A MINUTE. I'M TRYING TO MADAM SHERMAN.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO CALL UP CHARLENE OR BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO GAUGE WHAT THE TRANSITION TIME IS FOR FROM A LIKE THE THE LEAD TIME IS WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT TIME BECAUSE DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON SPOKE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT STOPGAP AND AND.

YOU KNOW, CHARLENE CAN COME UP AND TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE SEEING IN TERMS OF CURRENT TIME, BECAUSE FROM FROM APPLICATION TO HIRING, THERE CAN BE SOME DELAYS WE'VE SEEN THEM. I'M SURE CHARLENE CAN TALK ABOUT SOME OF THAT, SIR.

THANK YOU, MA'AM. THANK YOU, MICHEL.

HI, GOOD AFTERNOON OR GOOD EVENING, I SHOULD SAY.

CHARLENE WILCOX, HR DIRECTOR AS FAR AS THE TIMING IS CONCERNED, IT VARIES BECAUSE WE HAVE TO RUN BACKGROUND CHECKS.

WE HAVE TO RUN MOTOR VEHICLE REPORTS.

SO IT COULD VARY.

IT DEPENDS ON WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE STATE, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS THE THE LICENSE.

AND SO IT VARIES.

BUT IF I HAD TO GUESS, I WOULD SAY THE ESTIMATED TURNAROUND TIME IS ANYWHERE FROM ABOUT TWO WEEKS TO TO ABOUT A MONTH.

BUT WITHIN SIX WEEKS.

WORST CASE SCENARIO OR FOR WEEKS ON YEAR END, DEPENDING ON HOW THAT INVESTIGATIVE BACKGROUND CHECK. RIGHT? WORST CASE SCENARIO AND THEN TWO WEEKS.

OK, SO WE'RE LOOKING AT SIX WEEKS, APPROXIMATELY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. ABSOLUTELY.

DIDN'T MEAN TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT.

NO WORRIES. THANK YOU, BILL.

RICK PERRY. I MEAN, I DIDN'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT, I JUST IT WAS JUST YOU'RE ADDING TO YOU'RE ADDING TOO, BUT THAT WAS IT.

THANK YOU. A COUNCIL.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. GREAT JOB, EXCELLENT PRESENTATION.

A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT ADD MY ATTENTION.

NUMBER ONE IS THE STORMWATER YOU TALKED ABOUT A REVISED LIST OF EXEMPTION.

ARE WE REFERRING TO THE ENTITIES THAT CURRENTLY ON THE LIST RECEIVING? UM, THAT WE EXEMPT, THEY'RE THERE STORMWATER FEES.

THAT'S CORRECT, YEAH. SO THAT EXEMPTION LIST THAT WAS PUBLISHED BEFORE WAS HAD SOME DISCREPANCIES IN THEM AND AFTER WE RE VERIFIED IT, WE SENT IT BACK TO OUR CONSULTANT.

THEY REVISED THE LIST AND SUBMITTED BACK TO US.

I WAS IN HOUSE TO STAFF, PERFORMED ANOTHER, YOU KNOW, THOROUGH CHECK OF THIS ENTIRE ROLE AND FOUND, YOU KNOW, CERTAIN ISSUES WITH IT.

SO WE HAVE VERIFIED WE HAVE CHANGED THEM AND THEY WILL BE DISCUSSED WITH THE COUNCIL ON DECEMBER 16 DISCREPANCY.

DOES THAT ALSO MEANS ENTITIES THAT ARE RECEIVE EXEMPTION THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE? YES, PART OF IT, AS WELL AS PART OF IF I RECALL CORRECTLY, MS. SHERMAN DID.

THAT WAS PART OF OUR DISCUSSION DURING THE BUDGET SESSION, RIGHT? THAT IS CORRECT. SO THIS IS OUR FOLLOW UP FOR YOU FROM THAT TIME.

SO THAT WOULD BE AN EXEMPTION THAT WILL PHASE OUT AS OF NEXT YEAR.

IS THAT CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT.

BUT FOR THIS YEAR, WE WANTED TO CORRECT IT SO THAT BECAUSE YOU ALL ADOPTED THE LIST OF EXEMPTIONS BACK IN SEPTEMBER.

SO WE NEED TO CORRECT THAT NOW SO THAT THOSE EXEMPTIONS THAT ARE ARE NOT CORRECT DO NOT CARRY ON FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS FISCAL YEAR.

CAN WE ADDRESS THE FACT?

[00:55:01]

CAN WE ADDRESS THE FACT ENTITIES THAT ARE CURRENTLY LISTED? CAN WE CUT THEM OFF CURRENT AS OF THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE.

WE KEEP TALKING ABOUT POTENTIAL NON-FOR-PROFIT ENTITIES THAT CURRENTLY BENEFITING FROM THAT LIST AS SOON AS I PRESENTED TO THE COUNCIL ON DECEMBER 16TH.

THAT LIST WILL BE PROVIDED TO UTILITIES AND WILL BE UPDATED FOR THE NEXT MONTH BECAUSE THAT, IN MY OPINION, THAT SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN.

YES, THIS IS A UTILITY SERVICES THAT I GET TO PAY.

WE ALL GET TO PAY.

A NONPROFIT SHOULD NOT BE EXEMPT.

THIS IS UTILITY.

WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT TAXES HERE, SO I'M GLAD THAT JUST WANTED SOME CLARITY THERE.

MY SECOND, JUST TO CLARIFY, WE ARE WE HAVE UPDATED EXEMPTION ACCORDING TO THE CURRENT RULES. WE HAVE NOT CHANGED ANY RULES.

IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE LIST THAT WAS SUBMITTED WITH THE BUDGET HAS BEEN EDITED TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO GET EXEMPTION, THEY GOT IT, WHO ARE NOT, THEY WILL REMOVE THEM FROM THE LIST. SOME THERE WERE SOME ON THAT LIST THAT WE WERE THINKING, WHY, WHY ARE THESE PEOPLE ON THAT LIST? SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS YOU COME HERE COMING BACK WITH A CLEAN LIST, RIGHT? OK, YES. JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE AND SHED SOME LIGHT ON THAT.

MY SECOND POINT, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I HEARD CORRECTLY, YOU'RE LOOKING TO FILL TO POSITION. JUST TO MAKE SURE ALL CONTRACT IS BEING EXECUTED, EFFICIENCY AS FAR AS REPUBLIC, YES.

WHY ARE WE DOING THIS? BECAUSE WE USED TO HAVE A BUSINESS OPERATION MANAGER WAS RUNNING, THAT PROGRAM WAS NOT THERE ANYMORE. SO YEAH, WE HAVE WHEN WE REALIZE THAT TO RUN THAT PROGRAM, WE NEED A SENIOR CONTRACT PERSON.

AND ALSO, THAT PERSON NEEDS SOME SUPPORT TO GO AND CHECK THE WORK THAT IS BEING DONE OR IF THE COMPLAINTS THAT ARE COMING.

RIGHT NOW, WE ARE ONLY TRACKING THE COMPLAINTS THAT RECEIVED BY OUR OFFICE, BY PHONE CALLS OR THE REPUBLIC SERVICE PROVIDES THEIR DATA.

SO, YOU KNOW, HERE'S WHAT I DO WHEN I GET A COMPLAINT FROM A RESIDENT.

MM-HMM. I PULL.

I PULL OUT THE THE SITE MANAGER.

I GIVE THAT RESIDENT THEIR NUMBER AND I GUARANTEE YOU WITHIN 24 TO 48 HOURS.

PROBLEM SOLVED. SO IN MY OPINION, WE SHOULD NOT HIDE MORE MONEY OF THE TAXPAYER TOWARDS THAT. THEY SHOULD BE PERFORMING THEIR CONTRACT, PROVIDE GREAT, EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. THAT TAB, THEY SHOULD PICK IT UP.

THEY SHOULD HIRE ONE OR TWO PEOPLE TIED TO THE CITY.

TO TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE DOING WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO DO AS A LIAISON.

I DON'T THINK THE TAXPAYER SHOULD BE AND I GET IT.

WE WANT TO PROVIDE SERVICE AND THAT'S WHAT WE ARE.

THE CITIZENS ARE PAYING ARE PAYING THEIR FAIR SHARE TO GET SERVICE.

IN MY OPINION, THEY SHOULD BE PICKING UP THAT TAB.

THEY SHOULD HIRE.

THOSE TWO INDIVIDUALS SERVE AS LIAISON TIED TO PUBLIC WORKS, WHERE IN THAT ROLE.

YEAH, SO I THINK THAT WOULD BE FAIR TO THE CITIZEN.

THAT WOULD BE FAIR TO THE CITY OF PALM BAY IN THAT CONTRACT.

I UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT, HOWEVER, JUST TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT THE PUBLIC SERVICES CONTRACT, WE HAVE ISSUED IT FROM CITY OF PALM BAY.

SO WE NEED TO HAVE OUR OWN CHECK AND BALANCE PROCESS INDEPENDENT OF THEIR PROGRAM.

I CAN AGREE TO DISAGREE, BUT I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD.

IT GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY OF DOING THAT.

I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD BE UP TO TWO PEOPLE BEING TO POSITION.

WE'LL DEFINITELY EXPLORE THE OPTIONS WE HAVE.

IF COUNCILMAN FELIX COUNCILMAN FOSTER.

BUT THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.

I THINK IT WAS AN EXCELLENT THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS ANY OTHER DEPARTMENT IN THE CITY.

CITY GOVERNMENT HERE AND ESPECIALLY THE WORK THAT YOU GUYS DO.

MY QUESTION IS THE BACKLOG.

YOU SAID YOU REDUCE YOUR BACKLOG FROM FOUR SEVENTY FIVE TO 270.

YEAH. AND THAT WAS HOW DID YOU DO THAT? SO WHEN WE IMPLEMENTED THAT PROCESS WHERE THE PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER OR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT HAS TO SUBMIT THE SITE PLAN FOR THEIR INDIVIDUAL DRAINAGE LOTS THAT BASICALLY REMOVED MAJORITY OF OUR BURDEN FROM OUR STAFF TO DO THE RESEARCH, PROVIDING THEM ELEVATIONS, PROVIDING THEM DESIGN THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE DONE BY PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNER THAT THAT TIME THAT WE SAVED.

WE ARE NOW IMPLEMENTING IT TO IMPROVE OUR PERMITTING PROCESS.

SO IF YOU CAN SEE, EVEN AFTER SIX WEEKS, WE HAVE ONLY THEM.

WE HAVE ONLY REDUCED OUR WORKLOAD BY 200 AND SOME PERMITS.

[01:00:01]

RIGHT, RIGHT. SO THAT THAT REQUIRES, I MEAN, WE GOT MORE PERMITS GOING FORWARD.

MM HMM. THAT'S A GOOD JOB.

MY OTHER QUESTION? SCOTT, TWO QUESTIONS IS.

HOW MANY HOW MANY MILES OF ROAD HAVE WE PAID AT THIS POINT OUT OF THE TWO? SEVEN HUNDRED AND NINETY MILES WHERE WE'RE AT AS FAR AS THE CITY, THE ROADS ARE PAVED AND. ACTOR.

I'M TRYING RIGHT NOW ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY THREE MILES HAVE BEEN PAVED.

I'VE BEEN TO 43 YES, OUT OF THE SEVEN OUT OF THE 700 AND SOME 190.

AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE 213 MILES THAT HAVE BEEN PROJECTED FOR THIS YEAR, WE HAVE, I THINK, FINISHED AROUND 55 PERCENT.

SO WE HAVE CLOSE TO 120 MILES OR DONE THIS YEAR.

WE GOT ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY MILES WHERE WE PROJECTED BY 20 TO DECEMBER TWENTY TWENTY TWO. WHAT'S YOUR PROJECTION? DECEMBER 2022 WE SHOULD BE COMPLETED WITH THIS PHASE TWO AND PHASE THREE.

TWO AND THREE WILL BE COMPLETED BY DECEMBER 2022.

THAT'S THE EXPECTATION. ARE WE GOING TO BE PAID A LOT OF ROADS? YES. IF YOU CAN SEE FACE TO HEAD THE MOST AMOUNT OF ROADS OUT OF THE WHOLE PROGRAM, SO.

THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE OF NUMBER OF MILES BETWEEN PHASE TWO AND PHASE THREE. OK, MY NEXT QUESTION.

THANK YOU FOR THAT. MY NEXT QUESTION IS THE BAFFLE BOXES.

MM HMM. I MEAN, WE BUY FOUR BOXES, A VERY IMPORTANT PART IN THE LAGOON AND OUR TURKEY CREEK. WE IMPLEMENT ABOUT FOUR BLOCKS ALREADY OR WHERE WE AT WITH THAT AND WHAT SITES WHERE WE CAN IMPROVE ON THE BASKETBALL RIGHT NOW.

CURRENTLY, WE HAVE 11 BAFFLE BOXES IN THE CITY OF PALM BAY THAT WE HAVE AND WE MAINTAIN ON A REGULAR BASIS.

CURRENTLY, THERE ARE TWO MORE IN DESIGN PHASE, WHICH WILL BE BID OUT IN JANUARY, AND WE HAVE REQUESTED FUNDING FOR SIX MORE POWERFUL BOXES FROM STATE OF FLORIDA.

IT IS WITH THE, YOU KNOW, FEDERAL FUNDING REQUEST PROCESS RIGHT NOW, BUT ALL THESE PURPLE BOXES I'M TALKING ABOUT THAT WE HAVE REQUESTED.

WE ALREADY HAVE DESIGN AND PERMITTING COMPLETED AS SOON AS WE RECEIVE THE FUNDING.

WE WILL BE SENDING OUT BIDS FOR CONSTRUCTION.

ONLY ONE OF THEM THAT WAS REQUESTED FOR THE FUNDING HAS NOT BEEN DESIGNED YET, BUT WE HAVE ALREADY STARTED THE DESIGN.

IS IT A COST TO MAINTAIN THE BAFFLE BOXES? YES, THERE IS A COST INVOLVED.

THERE IS A MONTHLY INSPECTION, COST THE COST INVOLVED AND WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE MEMBRANE EVERY FEW YEARS.

HOWEVER, YES, THERE IS PEOPLE WE HAVE TO PUT ON JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS NOTHING QUESTIONABLE THERE OR THEY ARE CLEAN AND OPERATING.

A LOT OF LIVES CAN GATHER IN THERE AND CAN LOCK IT UP.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE EFFECT IS HAVING ON OUR ENVIRONMENT.

IT ACTUALLY IMPROVES THE WATER QUALITY THAT REMOVES A LOT OF NUTRIENTS AND PHOSPHORUS AND MATERIAL THAT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO REACH THE RIVER.

IT GETS CAUGHT UP IN THIS THING AND WE REMOVE IT AND TAKE IT TO THE LANDFILL.

SO IT'S A HUGE IMPROVEMENT TO THE WATER QUALITY OF TURKEY CREEK.

THE PUBLIC WORKS ARE TAKING THE DEBRIS TO THE LANDFILL.

YEAH, WE REMOVE IT AND BRING IT TO THE YARD.

ONCE WE HAVE ENOUGH, WE TAKE IT TO THE LANDFILL.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAHOLA.

I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU, BUT I WANTED TO ADDRESS A QUESTION TO MADAM SHERMAN FIRST.

YOU KNOW, COUNCILMAN FELIX, I THINK HE HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD.

WE WE ACTUALLY GOT SEVERAL EMAILS FROM CERTAIN CONSTITUENTS.

I KNOW THAT I SHARED THIS WITH YOU BEFORE THEY SENT THE EMAIL DIRECTLY TO ME, AND I FORWARDED TO MR. CONRAD FROM REPUBLIC AND MR. CONRAD IS JOHNNY ON THE SPOT.

HE RESOLVES THE ISSUE LIKE COUNCILMAN FELIX THAT WITHIN THE NEXT DAY, IF NOT WITHIN A FEW HOURS, HE'S BEEN REALLY EFFICIENT IN THAT REGARD.

SO I HAVE TO SHARE THAT PUBLICLY BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST ONE OR A FEW CASES OVER TIME.

WE'VE BEEN HERE NOW, GENTLEMEN, A YEAR ON THIS DAIS AND IN THAT TIME FRAME, HE HAS TRULY BEEN REALLY RESPONSIVE TO EVERY TIME I SEND HIM AN EMAIL.

IN THAT REGARD, WHO MANAGES HOW MANY CONTRACTS DO WE HAVE WITH OTHER BUSINESSES IN THE CITY? I UNDERSTAND THE PUBLIC IS, YOU KNOW, A HUGE CONTRACT.

WE JUST RATIFIED THAT IT'S 10 YEARS.

[01:05:02]

BUT WHO HANDLES THE CONTRACTS FOR OUR CITY? EACH DEPARTMENT'S RESPONSIBLE TYPICALLY FOR HANDLING CONTRACTS THAT ARE PART OF THEIR SERVICES. SO, FOR EXAMPLE, WE HAVE MOMING CONTRACTS.

THOSE CONTRACTS ARE HANDLED BY HULL'S DEPARTMENT AS WELL.

RIGHT. SO IT'S IT'S SPECIFIC TO WHAT THE CONTRACT IS FOR AND WHAT DEPARTMENTS RESPONSIBLE FOR. THAT PARTICULAR TOPIC YOU MANAGED, AND PLEASE, BECAUSE I WASN'T ON COUNCIL BACK IN THOSE DAYS WHO MANAGE WASTE MANAGEMENT'S CONTRACT.

WELL, IT'S ALWAYS HISTORICALLY, AS FAR AS I'VE KNOWN, BEEN PART OF THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT, THAT'S BEEN THE EXPECTATION THAT THEY HAVE THE STAFF DEDICATED TO MANAGING IT. YOU DO NEED STAFF, AS MHOOL POINTED OUT, THIS DEDICATED NUMBER ONE TO CONTRACT MANAGEMENT BECAUSE ESPECIALLY WITH THE REPUBLIC CONTRACT, WE WORKED REALLY HARD.

CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE TO CREATE A LOT OF CRITERIA AND THEREFORE ACCOUNTABILITY.

SO SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE TRACKING THE DATA TO SHOW ALL THOSE COMPLAINTS THAT WE RECEIVE.

WERE THEY RESOLVED OR THEY RESOLVED IN A MANNER THAT'S TIMELY AND CONSISTENT WITH THE CONTRACT? OR WAS THERE A FAILURE THAT LEADS TO SOMETHING LIKE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, FOR EXAMPLE? SO THERE'S A LOT OF INTENSIVE SORT OF ACTIVITY JUST DAY TO DAY, MONTH TO MONTH TYPE CHECKING. AND SO THAT'S ALWAYS HISTORICALLY BEEN HANDLED IN PUBLIC WORKS.

BUT THE WASTE MANAGEMENT CONTRACT DID NOT HAVE THE LEVEL OF DETAIL THAT THE REPUBLIC CONTRACT HAS. SO THERE'S DEFINITELY MORE TO IT.

BUT ADDITIONALLY, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE SETTING THE CITY UP FOR FUTURE SUCCESS.

AND THAT'S WHY MHOOL IS TALKING ABOUT INVESTMENT OF STAFF IN TERMS OF MANAGING THE CONTRACT BECAUSE WE DO NOT WANT TO GET IN A SITUATION LIKE WE WERE AT THE END OF THE CONTRACT WASTE MANAGEMENT, WHERE THERE HAD REALLY NOT BEEN AS MUCH ATTENTION TO IT AS THERE PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN FROM CITY STAFF TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE HOLDING THE VENDOR ACCOUNTABLE FOR.

ARE YOU ADDING TRUCKS TO THE CITY BECAUSE THE CITY HAS GROWN AND NOW WE SHOULD HAVE ADDED MORE ROUTES TO? YOU SHOULD HAVE HAD THOSE CONVERSATIONS, PROBABLY, YOU KNOW, WITHIN THE LAST FIVE YEARS OF THE WASTE MANAGEMENT CONTRACT.

BUT AS FAR AS I CAN TELL THAT THAT IF IT HAPPENED, IT DIDN'T RESULT IN ANY IMPROVEMENTS IN SERVICES. SO.

THANK YOU, I REALLY APPRECIATED THAT BRIEF BECAUSE I WANTED US TO ALL KIND OF GET THE PICTURE OF WHAT THE CHALLENGES ARE AND WHAT WHO IS FACING.

SO IN THAT MOU, MY QUESTION IS I KNOW THAT COUNCILMAN FELIX HIGHLIGHTED AND RIGHTFULLY SO TO POSITIONS TO MONITOR A CONTRACT WHEN YOU MENTIONED GRADUALLY PHASING IN SOME OF THESE POSITIONS. IS THAT ONE OF THE POSITIONS THAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO? MAYBE HIRE ONE AND THEN DOWNRANGE HIRE THE SECOND ONE? OR IS IT THAT YOU NEED BOTH TODAY? SO RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE ONE POSITION THAT IS VACANT TO DO THAT.

REGARDING THAT, YEAH, REGARDING THAT JOB AND WE HAD A ASKING, WE'LL BE ASKING FOR ONE MORE POSITION TO DO THE CHECKS AND BALANCES FOR THE CONTRACT.

SO YOU DO HAVE SOMEONE SUPERVISING THAT POSITION TODAY? YES, WE DO. AND THEY HAVE OTHER DUTIES BEYOND THAT.

YES. HOWEVER, WE HAVE A VACANT POSITION WHO USED TO MANAGE THIS PROGRAM.

MANAGE THAT. OKAY, THANK YOU.

I APPRECIATE THAT. I JUST WANTED TO, YOU KNOW, KIND OF THE FURTHER DETAIL AND THE HISTORY BEHIND THE CONTRACTS. YES, MA'AM.

MAYOR, IF I COULD ADD TO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MIGUEL AND I HAVE TALKED ABOUT, TOO, WHEN THAT POSITION THAT IS CURRENTLY FUNDED, BUDGETED JUST ON UNFILLED, WHEN THAT POSITION GETS POSTED AGAIN, THAT INDIVIDUAL WILL MONITOR MORE CONTRACTS THAN JUST THE REPUBLIC CONTRACT. I DON'T THINK WE MADE THAT CLEAR IN OUR PRESENTATION.

SO IT'S NOT JUST FOR REPUBLIC.

WE HAVE A LOT OF CONTRACTS THAT IT WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE A CONTRACT, AN EXPERIENCED CONTRACT MANAGER OVERSEEING THE MOWING OF THE DITCHES IF WE GO DOWN THAT ROUTE AND THE WHOLE NINE TO COPY THAT.

I JUST WANTED TO SHARE WHO YOU DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB IN YOUR PRESENTATION.

YOU IDENTIFIED SO MANY.

OPPORTUNITIES, SO MANY CHALLENGES THAT YOU HAVE.

WELCOME TO PALM BAY.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR YOUR FOUR MONTHS OF SERVICE.

APPRECIATE IT AND IDENTIFYING WHERE WE FALL SHORT.

THIS IS THIS HAS BEEN A PROCESS AND I KNOW THAT I'VE HAD THE CITY MANAGER'S EAR.

DEPUTY MAYOR WAS SO ELOQUENT WHEN HE SAID, YOU KNOW, WE WERE BLESSED NOT TO HAVE A REALLY LARGE STORM BECAUSE EVEN WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT I FREQUENTLY WALK AND I'M AN I AM AN ACTIVE WALKER, THERE'S ALL THESE CANALS THAT ARE OVERGROWN AND THAT NEIGHBORHOOD I'VE SEEN FLOOD IN THE PAST.

SO I KNOW THAT WE HAVE FALLEN SHORT IN THAT REGARD AND I UNDERSTAND THE CHALLENGES OF.

YOU KNOW, THE INFRASTRUCTURES THAT ARE BEING BUILT AND YOU'RE IDENTIFYING THOSE DIFFERENT CHALLENGES WITH PERSONNEL, SO WE GET THE PICTURE.

THANK YOU FOR THIS PRESENTATION.

I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

I THINK YOU DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB.

THANK YOU, SIR. AND WE.

[01:10:05]

DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON, WHAT'S YOUR SCARF? THE PUBLIC COMMENTS, AS YOU AS YOU WERE.

GOT IT. PUBLIC COMMENTS.

ANN MARIE BURROWS FOLLOWED BY TERRY SMITH.

[PUBLIC COMMENTS/RESPONSES]

ONE, TWO, THREE FOUR.

MS. AVENUE, PALM BAY NORTHWEST.

IS THERE ANY POSSIBILITY OF COUNCIL CONSIDERING MAYBE HAVING SOME SORT OF A COLLECTION LIKE YOU HAD YEARS AGO IN MELBOURNE THAT ANYBODY IN THE AREA COULD GO TO AND GET RID OF OLD FERTILIZER, OLD CANS OF PAINT? ANIMAL. UH, REPELLANTS, ET CETERA.

I KNOW I HAVE A LOT IN MY GARAGE AND SAID, EVERYBODY MUST HAVE IT IF THERE'S SOME WAY THAT WE COULD GET RID OF THAT LEGALLY WITHOUT PUTTING IT IN THE GARBAGE.

IT JUST ADDS UP MORE AND MORE.

YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE A LITTLE BIT IN. THIS CAN A LITTLE BIT AND THAT CAN.

AS FAR AS THE PAINT GOES, THERE WAS A COMPANY IN MELBOURNE, A PAINT COMPANY THAT USED TO TAKE THE PAINT AND REMIX IT AND GIVE IT OUT TO THE PEOPLE TO PAINT THEIR HOUSES OUTSIDE PAINT, WHICH WAS GREAT.

WE HAD THEY HANDED IT ONE OF THE BIG BOX STORES, SO MAYBE SOMETHING LIKE THAT COULD BE.

COME ABOUT, IT WOULD BE NICE.

AND BY THE WAY, I DON'T KNOW WHETHER YOU COUNSEL OR.

CO. MAY BE HIRED TO PEOPLE THAT WERE DOING THE CANAL AND BACK IN MY HOUSE.

EXCELLENT. THEY HAVE IT LOOKS NOW LIKE IT DID 30 YEARS AGO.

ALL THE TREES ARE GONE, ALL THE SHRUBS ARE GONE.

ALL THE TREES ARE GROWING OVERTOP OF THE CANAL.

IT HAD REALLY GOTTEN AWAY FROM YOU.

I DID ENJOY THE GREENS BACK THERE, BUT NOW I SEE HOUSES AND FENCES, WHICH IS WHAT I SAW 30 YEARS AGO. BUT THAT'S STILL GOOD.

THEY'RE DOING A GREAT JOB.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

ANN MARIE MADAM SHERMAN.

I WAS AWARE THAT BREVARD COUNTY SOLID WHERE SHE USED TO TAKE IN PAINT.

DO WE HAVE ANYTHING REGARDING FERTILIZER? WHAT OUR CONSTITUENTS? YES, ACTUALLY.

SANO, THE SANO LANDFILL COLLECTION I FIGHT, I SHOULD SAY, DOES STILL HAVE A HAZARDOUS, SOLID WASTE, HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION SITES, AND I JUST PULLED THAT UP.

IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE OPEN MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY, EIGHT A.M.

TO FOUR P.M. SO THEY THEY DO THAT.

AND THE LIST OF THINGS INCLUDES FERTILIZERS, PAINTS, SOLVENTS, GASOLINE, PESTICIDES, AUTOMOTIVE, FLUIDS, RAIN, CLEANERS, ALL KINDS OF THINGS.

SO IT SOUNDS LIKE IF ANYONE HAS THOSE TYPES OF ITEMS, YOU COULD TAKE THEM TO THE SANO LOCATION. THANK YOU AGAIN, MISS ANN MARIE.

THANK YOU, MADAM SHERMAN.

DEPUTY MAYOR TERRY SMITH.

MAYOR, CITY MANAGER, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND OUR ENTIRE PALM BAY FAMILY.

MY NAME IS TERRY SMITH, I'M DIRECTOR OF HELPS COMMUNITY INITIATIVES, AND WE'RE THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH ARM FOR TRUTH REVEALED INTERNATIONAL MINISTRIES.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE NOT AWARE, ON THE MORNING OF NOVEMBER 29TH, OUR CHURCH ANNEX BUILDING, WHICH HOUSED OUR COMMUNITY OUTREACH EFFORTS AND WHERE OUR YOUTH GATHERED EVERY SUNDAY, CAUGHT FIRE AND WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED.

THERE WAS NO LOSS OF LIFE AND THE CAUSE IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION.

BUT I AM HERE TODAY TO BRING YOU GOOD NEWS FROM TRUTH REVEALED.

ON BEHALF OF OUR PASTOR, BISHOP MERTON AL CLARK, OUT OF THE ASHES, WE WILL ARISE.

HE ALSO WANTS TO SEND HIS GRATITUDE TO ALL THOSE WHO HAVE CALLED AND STOP BY AND HAVE SENT MESSAGES, CONDOLENCES AND WELL-WISHES.

WE MANY HAVE ASKED WHAT CAN WE DO AS PEOPLE OF FAITH? OUR FIRST ANSWERS TO ASK YOU TO PLEASE PRAY, PRAY FOR OUR BISHOP AND OUR CHURCH FAMILY AS WE SUFFER THIS LOSS.

AND AS WE DEVELOP A PLAN FOR RECOVERY.

OUR SECOND REQUEST IS FOR YOU TO PRAY, TO PRAY FOR THE UNSHELTERED THOSE THAT WE WERE PREPARED TO SERVE IN OUR COLD NIGHT SHELTER STARTING ON DECEMBER THE 1ST.

AS OF NOVEMBER 29, THERE IS NO COLD NIGHT SHELTER IN PALM BAY.

[01:15:03]

HE WAS VERY UPSET AND HE ASKED, WHERE ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GO? I CALLED TO ONE ONE AND THERE ARE.

THERE WAS NO REFERRALS IN ALL OF BREVARD COUNTY FOR A COLD NIGHT SHELTER.

SO AGAIN, WE ASK YOU TO PRAY, PRAY THAT A SOLUTION BE FOUND.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, DEPUTY MAYOR COUNCILMAN, MADAM CHAIRMAN, THANK YOU.

MY NAME IS GEORGE BURRIS.

I'M COUNSEL FOR BLACK STALLION ENTERPRISES AND THIS IS MR. ALEX WANDERA. WE'RE PETITIONING TO HAVE THE ZONING CHANGED TO HAVE THAT AREA DEVELOPED.

BISSELL WAS ORIGINALLY ACTUALLY HANDLED BACK IN 2007, AND IT WAS ACTUALLY WENT ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE PROCESS.

THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED IT AT THAT PERIOD OF TIME, BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS NEVER FORWARDED TO THE STATE OF FLORIDA AT THAT TIME PERIOD, SO IT FAILED AND WAS NEVER ACTUALLY CLEARED.

WE'RE COMING NOW BACK TO 14 YEARS LATER.

MY CLIENT WISHES TO DEVELOP, PUT SINGLE FAMILY HOUSING ON THE PROJECT, ON THE ON THE AREA. EXCUSE ME TO PLACE.

BASICALLY ADD ANOTHER PIECE TO THE PALM BAY PUZZLE AND BRING IN NEW RESIDENTS, NEW FAMILIES TO THE AREA.

THE CURRENT PLAN FOR THE PROPERTY IS IS THAT ACCORDING TO ZONING, WE COULD HAVE

[01:20:02]

SO THE HOMES ARE NICELY APPOINTED.

THERE'S NO ZERO LOT LINES OR ANYTHING ALONG THOSE LINES HERE.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE LOOKING TO BUILD SOLID HOUSING FOR THE COMMUNITY AND FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS WELL AND BE GOOD NEIGHBORS TO THE TO THE PARTY PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

EXCUSE ME? THERE ARE SOME ISSUES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WE OBVIOUSLY WANT TO WORK WITH WITH THE CITY IN ORDER TO RESOLVE, I MEAN, I'VE WE'VE HEARD FROM RESIDENTS IN THE AREA THAT THEY'RE FLOODING ISSUES.

OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE GOING TO BE BUILDING RETENTION PONDS AND OTHER TYPES OF DRAINAGE.

AND SO WE'D LIKE TO ASSIST WITH THAT AS POSSIBLE BY MAKING SURE OUR PLAN HELPS ASSIST WITH THAT AREA PROBLEM.

ANOTHER THING IS IS WE'RE GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, PER THE REQUIREMENTS FROM ZONING WILL BE BRINGING CITY SEWER INTO THE AREA AND PUTTING A PUMP HOUSE IN, WHICH MEANS THAT THE CITY CAN THEN ACCESS THAT AS WELL AND BRING SEWER TO THE OTHER RESIDENTS OF THE AREA AS WELL.

I ACTUALLY JUST WANT TO BE GOOD NEIGHBORS.

YOU WANT TO DEVELOP A COMMUNITY TO BRING IN, YOU KNOW, THESE 38 OR SO FAMILIES INTO THE AREA, MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN, YOU KNOW, DEVELOP NICE HOUSING FOR THEM THAT, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY, YOU KNOW, WE'RE LOOKING IN ANYWHERE FROM THE LOW THREE HUNDREDS OF MID 300S FOR THE HOUSING THAT'S GOING TO BE DEVELOPED IN THAT PORTION.

WE'RE ALSO GOING TO BE LOOKING AT TRYING TO DEVELOP A NICE BASICALLY BRING A NICE AREA TO THAT AREA. WE'RE GOING TO ALSO HAVE ACCESS.

THERE'S BEEN SOME TRAFFIC COMPLAINTS.

I BELIEVE THAT WE HEARD DURING THE ZONING HEARING THAT SO WE'RE GOING TO BE WE'RE CONSIDERING PUTTING TWO ACCESS ROADS INTO THE ACCESS POINTS, EXCUSE ME, TO THE PROPERTY TO ALLEVIATE ANY KIND OF ISSUES.

BUT THAT WOULD ALSO, YOU KNOW, AS WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THIS PLANNING ABOUT THE RESULTS OF THE PLANNING AND AS WELL WHEN WE GET THAT PART OF THE PROCESS.

SO REALLY, OUR BASIC REQUEST HERE IS TO BASICALLY GET THIS APPROVED, GET THIS CHANGE APPROVED SO WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PROJECT AND OBVIOUSLY WORK WITH THE CITY. HAND IN HAND SO WE CAN BUILD A NICE COMMUNITY IN THE AREA, YOU KNOW, SOME TO SOME VERY NICE STANDARDS, BE GOOD NEIGHBORS TO THE PARTIES WHO ARE ALREADY IN THAT AREA AND BASICALLY BRING PALM BAY BRING PALM BAY ANOTHER PIECE IN ITS PUZZLE.

FAMILIES MR. ENDORA.

I THINK I THINK GEORGE PRETTY MUCH SUMMED IT ALL UP.

RIGHT NOW, THERE'S A CANAL ON THE EAST SIDE OF THAT, OF THAT LOT, AND CURRENTLY IT'S OVERGROWN. YOU KNOW, I THINK THE RESERVOIR WILL ALLEVIATE SOME OF THOSE ISSUES.

YOU'RE GOING TO GET SOME REGULAR WATER GOING IN THERE.

THE OVERGROWTH IS IS NOT GOING TO BE AS BAD ONCE YOU START GETTING SOME WATER OUT OF THE RESERVOIR POND. AND ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT WE HAVE THERE, I THINK THE THE CITY HAS SOME PROBLEMS WITH SOME VAGRANTS LIVING IN THE IN THE LOT FOR A LONG TIME BECAUSE THIS LOT SHOULD HAVE BEEN BUILT YEARS AGO.

YOU KNOW, IT IS. IT IS.

IT'S A SHORT-TERM.

SHORT TERM USE IS SINGLE FAMILY.

ALL THE WHOLE AREA HAS GROWN OUT.

IT'S THE LAST PIECE THAT'S LEFT IN THERE.

SO THIS IS THIS WILL ALLEVIATE SOME OF THOSE ISSUES.

AND LIKE WE SAID, BRING, YOU KNOW, SOME SOME BEAUTIFUL HOMES TO THE AREA THAT, YOU KNOW, TAXPAYING RESIDENTS AND.

I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO TELL YOU, IT'S GOING TO BE BEAUTIFUL WHEN IT'S ALL COMPLETED. YOU KNOW? AND YOU ACTUALLY YOU JUST MOVED THE PALM BAY AS WELL, CORRECT? YEAH, YEAH, I'M FROM OUT OF TOWN, BUT I MOVED HERE THREE MONTHS AGO FOR THIS PROJECT.

I LIVE IN BAYSIDE LAKES AND I PLAN ON STAYING.

SO THAT'S WELCOME TO PALM BAY.

THANK YOU. I DO HAVE A QUESTION.

YOU MENTIONED, DID YOU MEET WITH THE RESIDENTS? I THINK WE'VE HEARD DURING THE ZONING BOARD HEARING, WE HEARD FROM THE RESIDENTS OF IT JUST AT THAT POINT AND YOU HAVE NOT HAD DIALOG WITH WHAT THEIR CONTENTIONS ARE AND AND HOW YOU COULD BE BETTER NEIGHBORS.

NOT YET, NO. YOU KNOW, WHEN I HEAR WE WANT TO BE BETTER NEIGHBORS.

YOU KNOW, IT TAKES DIALOG RIGHT, TAKES OPPORTUNITY TO COMMUNICATE.

SO JUST STAND FAST FOR A SECOND.

SO ANY QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT? SUZANNE FOSTER. IS THIS NEIGHBORHOOD GOING TO BE HOYA OR NO? IT WILL NOT BE IN. IT'LL BE OPEN.

IT'D BE OPEN TO BE DEDICATED TO THE CITY.

AS FAR AS THE INFRASTRUCTURE YOU'RE LOOKING TO.

MY CONCERN IS THE TRAFFIC AND LIGHTING.

WE HAVE ADEQUATE LIGHTING OR AND YOU ADDRESS THE TRAFFIC ISSUES.

WELL, THE TRAFFIC ISSUE WE ARE ADDRESSING BY WITH THE DESIGN.

MANY OF THOSE PROJECTS ARE DONE WITH ONE ENTRY, ONE EXIT.

AND I'M AND I'M PRESENTING TO THE TO THE ENGINEERS IN THE AIR.

IT'S A CIRCLE. SO YOU HAVE TWO TWO ENTRANCES AND TWO EXITS THAT THAT'LL BE AND OBVIOUSLY

[01:25:06]

THAT'S JUST A REQUIREMENT.

AND WE'LL GET A PANEL IN THERE AND THEY'LL WE'LL DO OUR DESIGN FOR THE STREETLIGHTS.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OF THE.

I LOOKED AT QUICKLY, TAKE A LOOK AT THE PLAN.

OR NOT BEING A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, A REGULAR SUBDIVISION, I THINK IT'S COMPATIBLE.

I THINK IT FITS WHERE.

WHAT A PROPERTY. I THINK IT WILL BE A GOOD, GOOD IMPROVEMENT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS A WHOLE. OVERALL, I THINK IT'S GREAT AND HAVING TO BRING UTILITIES AND I BRING HAVING TO, YOU KNOW, MAKE SURE THE STREETLIGHTS OR ARE THERE.

I THINK IT'S A GREAT PROJECT FOR THE THE FOR THE AREA.

WELL, I WOULD CERTAINLY BE IN SUPPORT OF THAT.

THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

YOU. YOUR RESERVE YOUR TIME, I GUESS, WE'VE GOT TWO SPEAKERS, AND PERHAPS YOU COULD ADDRESS THAT CONCERNS.

YES, PLEASE HAVE A SEAT.

THE OLSAVSKY. GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR COUNCIL RANDALL OLSZEWSKI THREE, FOUR EIGHT BROOK STREET, NORTHEAST COUNCIL.

WHAT I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT TONIGHT IS THE INCONGRUITIES THAT I NOTICED IN THE APPLICATION FOR THIS PARTICULAR AMENDMENT.

SO IN LOOKING AT THE APPLICATION, IT'S ANNOTATED AS FOR A LARGE SCALE AMENDMENT.

BUT WHEN YOU BACKTRACK AND LOOK AT ALL THE OTHER PAPERWORK, IT'S ADVERTISED AS A SMALL SCALE AMENDMENT. I KIND OF ANSWERED MY OWN QUESTION WHEN I LOOKED FURTHER INTO IT AND REMEMBER BACK TO APRIL WHEN THE LEGISLATURE CHANGED AND WENT FROM 50 TO 10 ALL FINE.

BUT I THINK THAT IT'S JUST GOOD BUSINESS FOR THE CITY AND FOR THE PARTY INVESTED TO FILL OUT AN APPLICATION THAT THAT STATES THINGS PROPERLY.

SO I NOTICED THAT ACTUALLY THE ACTUAL APPLICATION IS A VERSION FROM FEBRUARY.

WE OUGHT TO HAVE A NEW VERSION OF THE APPLICATION OUT THERE WITH NEW APPLICATION FEES.

THE APPLICATION FEE SECTION IS WHAT REALLY CAUGHT MY EYE ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM BECAUSE THERE WAS NO APPLICATION FEE TOES AND SEE, YOU WOULD HAVE CHOSEN TWELVE HUNDRED FOR A SMALL SCALE PROJECT OR TWO THOUSAND FOR A LARGE SCALE PROJECT.

SO I WAS LOOKING FOR THAT TWO THOUSAND, BUT INSTEAD THERE WAS AN ANNOTATION THAT THE APPLICATION FEE WAS WAIVED FOR THIS PARTICULAR APPLICANT, PER THE ASSISTANT GROWTH MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR. I'D LIKE TO UNDERSTAND SOME CONTEXT ON THAT WAIVER IF I'M TO KIND OF ANSWER MY OWN QUESTION AND SEE WHERE THE CONTEXT COMES FROM, I WOULD LOOK FOR THE THE WAY THAT THE APPLICATION WAS WRITTEN, AND I FEEL AS THOUGH THE APPLICANT IS QUITE ASSUMPTIVE THAT THEY ARE DUE THIS AMENDMENT SINCE ALL OF THESE THINGS TRANSPIRED BACK IN 2007.

BUT AS FAR AS MY UNDERSTANDING IS, 14 YEARS LATER, WE'RE KIND OF STARTING FROM SCRATCH, SO I TAKE UP OBJECTION TO THE IDEA OF THEM NOT PAYING AN APPLICATION FEE.

I TAKE OBJECTION TO THE IDEA OF THE AMENDMENT NOT BEING CATEGORIZED CORRECTLY.

AND OVERALL, I JUST TAKE OBJECTION AGAIN OF THE ASSUMPTIVE NATURE, INCLUDING SAYING THAT ONLY ONE READING IS NECESSARY.

ANYTHING ELSE WE DO IN THE CITY? WE ALWAYS HAVE TWO READINGS, AND I'M ASSUMING THAT BECAUSE WE'RE COMING WITH THIS, THIS IS THIS ONE ONE MEETING REQUIRED OR ONE READING REQUIRED.

AND I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN LARGE SCALE AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR.

IT'S ALMOST 12 ACRES.

IT'S SIGNIFICANT.

IT IMPACTS THE THE RESIDENTS RIGHT IN THAT AREA.

A DRAMATICALLY I DO LIKE THE IDEA OF BRINGING UTILITY TO THAT NEIGHBORHOOD RIGHT NOW.

THAT NEIGHBORHOOD HAS CITY WATER, NOT CITY SEWER.

SO YES, THE PIPE WILL COME, BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT IT'S GOING TO COST THE CITY PLENTY OF MONEY TO PIGGYBACK ON THOSE EFFORTS.

IT'S GOING TO COST THE CITY PLENTY OF MONEY TO DO WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO WITH THE CANALS, TO DO FUTURE THINGS, TO HOPEFULLY GET THE CHILDREN THAT WILL COME TO THIS NEIGHBORHOOD OVER TO LIBERTY PARK, WHICH SOME MIGHT ARGUE THAT'S WHAT THIS PARCEL OF LAND WAS MADE FOR OR LEFT FOR WAS TO BE A PARK ONE DAY.

AND AND IF IT'S A SUBDIVISION, SO BE IT.

BUT I'M JUST REALLY INTRIGUED BY THE APPLICATION ON THIS ONE AND AGAIN, INCONGRUITIES.

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS APPLICANT WOULDN'T BE DUE TO PAY IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS, A NOMINAL FEE WHEN THE CITY IS GOING TO INCUR QUITE SOME COSTS JUST TO PROCESS THIS, LET ALONE THE END RESULT.

SO THAT'S IT FOR ME.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU, ANDREA.

AND KEN IS IN.

YOU KNOW, THERE ALWAYS ARE.

OK, GOT IT. I GOTTA AT LEAST TRY.

ALL RIGHT, SO MY NAME IS ANDREA KANESHIRO, AND ON OCTOBER 29TH, APPROXIMATELY 30 DAYS AGO, I BECAME A BRAND NEW HOMEOWNER, RESIDENT AND TAXPAYER OF PALM BAY.

AFTER MOVING IN, I WAS MADE AWARE OF A FUTURE PROJECT IN THE WOODED LOT RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY NEW HOME OFF COCONUT.

YOU LITERALLY CAN SEE MY HOUSE.

IT'S THE ONE THAT SITS LIKE, REALLY HIGH.

WE CALL IT MOUNT CANNAVARO, HERNANDEZ, ME AND MY HUSBAND BECAUSE THE CITY OF PALM BAY, BECAUSE OF FLOODING CONCERNS LITERALLY MADE US BUILD OUR HOUSE UP REALLY, REALLY HIGH.

THIS LAND, WHICH WAS AN INDIVIDUAL COMMUNITY OF APPROXIMATELY 30 HOMES, I WAS MADE AWARE

[01:30:02]

I WAS KIND OF FOR IT BECAUSE I THINK IT WOULD BRING MORE VALUE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, IT WOULD BRING MORE HOMES, IT WOULD BRING MORE REVENUE TO THE CITY.

HOWEVER, AFTER LEARNING WHAT THESE ACTUAL PLANS WERE, I WENT TO THE APO SIDE AGAIN.

THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT A ONE WAY AND ONE WAY OUT.

YOU KNOW WHERE THAT ONE WAY AND OUT WOULD BE RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY BRAND NEW HOME LITERALLY WOULD BE IN FRONT OF MY HOME.

THAT WOULD DEVALUE.

IT ALSO WOULD BE A NON GATED NON-NATO, A COMMUNITY, THESE HOMES AND THE HOMES SPECIFICALLY BUILT ON COCONUT WOULD BE FACING THE SAME WAY MY HOME IS, WHICH WOULD MAKE MY FRONT YARD VIEW THEIR BACKYARD.

HE'S WANTING TO MAKE AN INDIVIDUAL COLONIZED COMMUNITY IN WHICH PEOPLE'S BACKYARDS WOULD BE FACING 25 HOMES.

FRONT YARDS DIDN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME.

THERE'S ALSO A HUGE ISSUE WITH SPEED AND TRAFFIC ON COCONUT.

YESTERDAY, I DID RESEARCH WITH MY SECURITY CAMERA.

ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY SIX DRIVERS DROVE BETWEEN THE ROAD BETWEEN 7:30 A.M.

AND 5:30 P.M..

THE AVERAGE SPEED THAT MY SECURITY SYSTEM CAN TRACK SPEEDS OF CARS GOING BY WAS FORTY NINE MILES PER HOUR.

IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE TWENTY FIVE CHILDREN LIVE ON THIS ROAD.

MY CHILD LIVES ON THIS ROAD AND CANNOT PLAY OUTSIDE OF HIS HOME DUE TO THE SPEED.

IT WOULD BE NICE. IT WOULD BE A POLICE OFFICER'S DREAM, HONESTLY, TO REGRET A LOT OF TICKETS, THIS ONE WAY IN AND OUT COMMUNITY WILL ADD SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC AND SPEEDING. IN ADDITION TO THAT, THERE'S CURRENTLY FORTY NINE HOMES THAT ALREADY EXIST THAT THIS FUTURE COMMUNITY WOULD AFFECT FOUR TWENTY FIVE OF THEIR HOMES.

THE FRONT YARD WILL BE THE BACKYARD OF THESE FUTURE HOMES, WHICH I CAN STILL NOT COMPREHEND HOW A BUILDER OR DEVELOPER WOULD THINK THIS IS OK.

AND MANY OF THESE HOMES HAVE BEEN HERE FOR 20 PLUS YEARS.

LASTLY, NOT SURE IF THE FUTURE BUILDER OR THE CITY IS AWARE, BUT THIS WOODED LOT.

THERE IS A VERY LARGE HOMELESS CAMP, AND IT'S LIKELY BECAUSE OF IMPOSSIBLE RENT AND HOME OWNERSHIP, BUT REGARDLESS, IT'S THERE.

I HAVE A CONCERN FOR THE CITY AS TO WHERE WILL THESE PEOPLE GO? BECAUSE RECENTLY MELBOURNE HAS MADE IT ILLEGAL TO HELP THESE INDIVIDUALS SO THEY HAVE TO GO SOMEWHERE AND THEY'RE GOING TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE AND PALM BAY AGAIN.

I'M NOT OPPOSED TO SOMETHING BEING BUILT.

I JUST THINK IT'S DISRESPECTFUL TO BUILD A COMMUNITY IN AN ALREADY ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE THIRTY FIVE TO 40 FUTURE HOMES WOULD DEVALUE THE ALREADY EXISTING 50 HOMES IN THE FAMILY LIKE MINE WHO WORKED HARD FOR THEIR HOMES.

I'M ALL FOR BUILDING, BUT I DO NOT SUPPORT THIS TYPE OF COMMUNITY.

I THINK THE CITY SHOULD REQUIRE, AT MINIMUM, A PRIVACY FENCE TO SURROUND THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY, WHICH SHOULD ALSO HAVE SEVERAL ENTRANCES OR BEST.

THE ONLY IDEA IS JUST ADD TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, ADD A FEW STREETS AND ADD SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. IT DOES NOT NEED TO BE A NON HO INDIVIDUALIZED COMMUNITY INSIDE OF AN ALREADY EXISTING COMMUNITY.

THANK YOU GUYS ALL FOR YOUR TIME.

THE OTHER SPEAKER? GO AHEAD.

YEP, YEP. PUBLIC HEARING, LEGAL, I'M LEGAL, I'M JUST GOING TO MAKE YOU FILL ONE OUT, THAT'S ALL.

BILL BATTEN 586 OCEAN SPRAY STREET, SOUTHWEST.

I DEFINITELY UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS OF THE PEOPLE THAT THE DEVELOPMENT'S MOVING IN ON.

AS YOU KNOW ME FOR ALL THESE YEARS THAT I COME, I'M ONE OF THE BIG PUSHERS FOR MAINTAINING SOME GREEN SPACE WITHIN THE CITY OF PALM BAY.

BUT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF IT, I'M ALSO A PUSHER OF LAND RIGHTS, INDIVIDUAL LAND RIGHTS.

AND WITH THAT BEING SAID, I'M PERSONALLY SOMEWHAT IN FAVOR OF THIS DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE OF ONE VERY BIG FACTOR OUT OF THE ALMOST 12 ACRES.

THERE ARE ONLY PUTTING 38 HOMES.

THAT'S A MASSIVE SPREAD OUT IN COMPARISON TO WHAT A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT COULD DO THAT COULD PUT IN SEVEN HOMES PER ACRE.

THAT'S WHAT THEY COULD DO.

PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS DON'T REQUIRE MULTIPLE ENTRANCES.

THEY STILL THEY'RE PROVIDING WITH THE STORM WATER THEY'RE STILL PROVIDING WITH THE DRAINAGE BUT PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS.

THEY WOULD TRIPLE WHAT THIS WHAT THIS BUILDER IS TRYING TO PUT IN.

I ME PERSONALLY, I WOULD PREFER THE GREEN SPACE.

BUT WHEN I HAVE A DEVELOPER THAT'S NOT TRYING TO GET ZERO LOT LINES AND PUT SEVEN AND PUTTING ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY HOMES IN INSTEAD OF 38 HOMES, IT'S GOING TO MAKE IT BY MY STANDARD, A NICER DEVELOPMENT THAN A SMALL SARDINE CAN PACKING NEIGHBORHOOD.

BUT I HAD THE OPTIONS.

I'D STILL KEEP THE GREEN SPACE.

THANKS, MASTER CHIEF. ANY OTHER AND WISHES COME STEP FORWARD AND SPEAK, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS, MA'AM.

[01:35:04]

I HAVE LIVED ON COCONUT STREET FOR 18 YEARS AND I'VE WATCHED MY STREAM GROW.

WITH ALL THESE NEW HOMES GOING IN ALL AT ONCE.

THEY SAY THAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, THEY FIGURED OUT THE DRAINAGE, IS THIS GOING TO BE THE DRAIN IS JUST FOR THOSE HOMES THERE OR IS THIS GOING TO HELP THE DRAINAGE ON COCONUT STREET? WE'VE HAD ISSUES WITH DRAINAGE FOR MANY YEARS AND I HAVE CALLED AND COMPLAINED ABOUT IT.

THE TRAFFIC COCONUTS, JUST A ONE LANE ROAD.

AND PEOPLE LOVE TO SPEED.

UM. EXCUSE ME.

I HAVE SEEN AN INCREASE OF A LOT OF THE RESIDENTS AND SCHOOLCHILDREN WALKING EVERY DAY AND THE SPEEDERS DON'T CARE.

AND ONE OF THESE DAYS, AND I'VE BEEN JUST HOLDING MY BREATH WAITING FOR IT FOR AN ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN WITH ONLY ONE ACCESS IN AND OUT OF THIS HOUSING UNIT.

IT'S AN ADDITIONAL 100 PLUS CARS THAT WE ARE GOING TO GET ON COCONUT.

THERE'S NO LIGHT.

WHERE'S ALL THESE PEOPLE GOING TO GO? THEY'RE GOING TO IMPACT US IMMENSELY.

AND AS FAR AS BRINGING WATER AND SEWER, WELL, WE GOT WATER ON COCONUT ALREADY.

IT WOULD BE NICE TO GET THE SEWER.

YOU KNOW, HOW ARE WE GOING TO BE ABLE TO PAY FOR IT? YOU KNOW THIS A CITY GOING TO HELP US WITH GRANTS.

AND NO ONE HAS EVER APPROACHED MYSELF OR ANY OF MY OTHER NEIGHBORS AS FAR AS THIS NEW HOUSING DEVELOPMENT.

SO I AM TOTALLY CLUELESS ON WHAT THEIR PLANS ARE, THEIR DRAINAGE, EVERYTHING.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MA'AM.

ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? AS THE APPLICANT TO RETURN TO THE PODIUM AND SHARE THEIR THEY'RE RESOLVED, OF COURSE, MADAM SHERMAN, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT SOME RESPONSES FOR THAT, BUT.

SO THEY HAD SEVERAL QUESTIONS, RIGHT? YOU LIKE TO RESPOND TO THOSE? YES, PLEASE. SO I MEAN, AS WE'VE BEEN BASICALLY CONSIDERING TWO ENTRANCES TO THE COMMUNITY, OK, SO THAT WOULD ALLEVIATE A LOT OF THE TRAFFIC ISSUES BECAUSE IT WAS SPLIT UP BETWEEN THE TWO ROADS IN THE AREA.

AS TO THE EXISTING TRAFFIC ISSUES THERE? THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S A LITTLE BIT BEYOND OUR CONTROL, BUT WE'RE TRYING TO MITIGATE IT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE THROUGH THE, YOU KNOW, THROUGH OUR CONSTRUCTION AS TO THE FLOODING.

OBVIOUSLY, WERE 100 PERCENT GOING TO BE WORKING WITH THE CITY IN ORDER TO INTEGRATE OUR PLANS AND OUR RETENTION POND AND ALSO WITH THAT CANAL THAT RUNS ALONG THAT SIDE THERE AS WELL TO TRY TO MITIGATE WHATEVER WE CAN.

OBVIOUSLY, WE CAN'T POTENTIALLY SOLVE ALL THE NEIGHBORHOOD'S PROBLEMS WITH IT.

WE CAN HELP MITIGATE WHATEVER WE CAN, YOU KNOW, IN RELATION TO THE AREA THAT WE'RE AT.

AS TO I BELIEVE. CERN, THE CERN OF THE THE REAR HOMES FACING THE CONSTITUENTS HOME. IS THERE A FENCING? I THINK THAT WAS.

WELL, WE HAD REALLY CONSIDERED NOT DOING A FENCING, BUT THERE'S A POSSIBILITY.

OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE STILL IN THE PLANNING PHASE.

YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW WE'RE STILL SEEKING ZONING.

SO WE ACTUALLY HAVEN'T DETERMINED HOW I MEAN, HOW THAT HOMES ARE GOING TO FACE.

SO I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT IS GOING TO BE BACK OUR FRONT YARD AS TO THESE AT THIS POINT.

YEAH. THE DESIGN ON THAT PARTICULAR LOT BEING THAT IT'S RECTANGULAR, THE HOMES WOULD FACE EAST AND WEST.

THE HOUSES WON'T FACE NORTH OR SOUTH.

SO THAT ACTUALLY WON'T BE FACING THEIR HOUSES ON COCONUT, BUT BE FACING EACH OTHER WITHIN WITHIN THE.

THE ONES THAT WILL FACE THE ONLY FEW THAT WILL FACE NORTH WILL BE AT THE END OF THE BLOCK, WHICH WILL BE 100 FEET, 500 FEET AWAY ALL THE WAY AT THE END OF THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY. AS FAR AS THE HOUSE IS FACING THESE HOUSES, THAT WON'T BE AN ISSUE AND I DO HAVE A DESIGN. I'M FORTUNATELY, I DON'T HAVE A PRESENTATION ON ALL THIS FANCY STUFF, BUT I DO HAVE A DESIGN FOR THE LOT AND IT'S CIRCULAR, OK? IT HAS AN ENTRANCE HERE AND AN ENTRANCE HERE AND AN EXIT HERE AND AN EXIT HERE.

SO IT'S A CIRCULAR. IT'S IT WILL ALLEVIATE TRAFFIC.

THE ONLY OTHER THING WE COULD DO IS BUT SPEED BUMPS, NOT JUST ON OUR ROADS, BUT ON COCONUT ITSELF TO SLOW THINGS DOWN.

THAT'S SOMETHING I'VE SEEN A LOT OF COMMUNITIES DO.

IF PEOPLE ARE DOING 40 MILES AN HOUR AND 50 MILES AN HOUR THROUGH THEIR.

UM, I JUST FEEL THAT THERE IS A HUGE OPPORTUNITY FOR DIALOG.

COMMUNICATION WITH THE RESIDENTS.

I BELIEVE THAT YOU WERE TRYING TO ADDRESS SOME OF THOSE BEFORE YOU EVEN ROSE UP, SO PERHAPS THAT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO, YOU KNOW, BUILD A RELATIONSHIP WITH AND IN

[01:40:04]

RIGHT? SO COUNCIL ARE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OF.

I WAS JUST GOING TO REPEAT WHAT YOU SAID, IT'S NOT A REQUIREMENT FOR YOU, BUT IN GOOD FAITH AND GOOD MORALE, JUST, YOU KNOW, GETTING THEIR CONTACT INFORMATION UPON LEAVING JUST SO LIKE, HEY, THIS IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO DO.

I NOTICE YOU SAID THIS OR THAT.

SO I ACTUALLY DID GO AND SPEAK TO ONE OF THE NEIGHBORS.

THAT WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO WAS THERE ON COCONUT STREET ONE DAY, AND I EXPLAINED TO HIM WHAT I WAS PLANNING ON DOING, AND I HAD ACTUALLY HAD SAID, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO DO TWO SEPARATE ENTRANCES HERE.

THAT'S MY PLAN, UNLESS THE ZONING DEPARTMENT REQUIRES ME TO DO SOMETHING ELSE.

THE INITIAL DESIGN I WILL PUT IN THAT WE WILL PUT IN WILL BE TWO ENTRANCES.

WE KNOW THAT THAT THAT ALSO HELPS US WITH THE DEVELOPMENT AND ALSO WITH THE RESERVOIR POND WHERE WE'RE GOING TO PUT IT, WHICH I PLAN ON PUTTING ON THE FAR EAST SIDE A LOT, WHICH WOULD BE RIGHT NEXT TO THE CANAL, ACTUALLY.

SO I THINK THAT MIGHT MITIGATE SOME OF THE MAINTENANCE ON THAT CANAL.

THE CANAL IS PRETTY OVERGROWN RIGHT NOW.

YEAH, WHEN I SAW IT BACK IN, WHEN I FIRST SAW THE LOT BACK IN MAY, IT WAS IT WAS NICE AND CLEAN AND YOU SEE IT NOW.

IT'S ALL OVERGROWN, SO IT NEEDS SOME RUNOFF THERE TO KEEP IT LOW.

AS FAR AS THE FEES NOT BEING PAID, THAT WAS THE INITIAL EMAIL THAT I RECEIVED FROM THE ZONING DEPARTMENT WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT THE LONG TERM USE ON THIS LAW NEEDED TO BE CHANGED, SO THEY OFFERED TO NOT PAY THE FEES, WHICH IS FINE.

I WILL PAY THE FEES IF THAT'S REQUIRED.

BUT THESE FEES HAD BEEN PAID 14 YEARS AGO.

I'LL PAY THEM AGAIN. THAT'S NOT AN ISSUE.

MY PROBLEM WITH THAT, AS FAR AS THE APPLICATION BEING DONE AND IT WAS DONE INAPPROPRIATE ACCORDING TO CERTAIN STANDARDS THAT ARE TODAY BACK THEN IN THE DAYS, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY THE STATE OF FLORIDA, RIGHT? BUT AS OF JUNE 1ST, I THINK EVERYTHING CHANGED SO THAT IT WAS PUT IN IN ACCORDANCE TO THAT. ANYTHING ELSE? ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? NO, THANK YOU, SIR. OK, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MADAM SHERMAN.

DID YOU WANT TO ADDRESS SOME OF THOSE CONCERNS? SHE WANTED TO HAVE OUR ACTIVE GROWTH MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR, PATRICK MURPHY, COME UP AND SPEAK TO SOME OF THE CONCERNS ABOUT THE APPLICATION AND.

THE ATLANTA BRAVES FAN.

THAT WOULD BE THE THAT WOULD BE THE GUY.

EVEN THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL. PATRICK MURPHY GROWTH MANAGEMENT JUST A REALLY SHORT BACKGROUND ON THE PROPERTY.

THIS IS TRACK DAY OF PORT MELBOURNE UNIT 11.

THIS WAS RECORDED IN 1961.

AT THE TIME, THE GENERAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION'S IDEA FOR THIS PROPERTY WAS A SCHOOL SITE. THAT'S WHY IT HAS A PUBLIC SEMIPUBLIC FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION UPON IT THEN WAS GIVEN A ZONING DESIGNATION OF R.S.

TO SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.

THE SAME ZONING IS ALL THE PROPERTIES AROUND IT.

AS TIME WENT BY, THE SCHOOL BOARD DECIDED THIS WASN'T A PARTIAL THAT THEY NEEDED AND IT SAT THERE AND IT NEVER DEVELOPED.

THE APPLICANT PURCHASED THIS PROPERTY IN 2006, AND THEY WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS, WENT THROUGH BOTH THE PLANNING, ZONING BOARD AND CITY COUNCIL TO MAKE THE LAND USE CONSISTENT WITH THE ZONING SO THAT IT COULD BE DEVELOPED FOR RESIDENTIAL, SUCH AS ALL THE COMMUNITY AROUND IT. IT WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS, BUT THE CITY DID NOT TRANSMIT IT TO THE STATE.

2007 WAS A CRAZY TIME AND IT DIDN'T GET DONE.

THERE WAS NO FAULT OF THE APPLICANT.

ALL THE FEES WERE PAID AT THE TIME.

SO WHEN THIS CAME IN, STAFF, YOU KNOW, DECIDED THAT WE WEREN'T GOING TO CHARGE THIS APPLICANT FOR A FAULT ON THE CITY'S.

THERE'S NO FAULT TO THE APPLICANT, SO THAT'S WHY WE DID NOT DO THAT.

IF THIS IS TO BE DEVELOPED AT A SUBDIVISION, WE'LL BRING THIS IN.

WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT IT FROM ALL OF OUR DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS TO WEIGH THIS AGAINST OUR SUBDIVISION CODE.

CITY WATER HAS ALREADY PROVIDED TO THE PROPERTY.

A CITY SEWER IS ROUGHLY 500 FEET TO THE EAST ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF EMERSON DRIVERS, A 12 INCH FORCE IN THERE THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE BROUGHT INTO THE PROPERTY LOOP THROUGH AND CONNECTED. THE STORMWATER WILL BE LOOKED AT AT THAT TIME, BOTH BY ST JOHNS RIVER WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT, AS WELL AS OUR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.

IF THERE'S ANY EXISTING DRAINAGE THAT MAY BE RUNNING INTO THE PROPERTY FROM ADJACENT PROPERTIES THAT'S CONSIDERED HISTORICAL DRAINAGE, THEY WOULD HAVE TO ACCOMMODATE THAT, BRING IT INTO THEIR PONDS, TREAT IT BEFORE IT IS DISCHARGED INTO THE NEIGHBORING DITCH.

SO THEY ARE GOING THROUGH THIS PROCESS TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

THE NUMBER OF UNITS THAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT DEVELOPING WORKS OUT TO ABOUT THREE UNITS PER ACRE OF A DENSITY SURROUNDING PORT MELBOURNE UNIT IS DEVELOPED AT FOUR UNITS PER ACRE, SO IT'S A LITTLE LESS DENSE THAN THAN ITS NEIGHBORS.

I THINK I COVERED WHAT YOU NEED, BUT CERTAINLY HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. THANK YOU, PATRICK.

ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? SO THANK YOU, SIR.

WE CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT THIS TIME AND ASKED COUNSEL FOR A MOTION MOTION TO APPROVE ORDINANCE TWENTY TWENTY ONE SEVENTY SEVEN AND A MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN FELIX.

I'M OPENING UP THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASKING THE APPLICANT TO STEP FORWARD.

THANK YOU, JAKE WEISS, CIVIL ENGINEER FOR THE PROJECT.

JUST WANTED TO RUN THROUGH JUST A COUPLE OF BRIEF THINGS ON THIS ITEM.

THE SITE WAS DEVELOPED BACK IN TWENTY SIXTEEN.

IT'S TWENTY FOUR ACRES IN TOTAL.

WE JUST HAD THIS LITTLE CORNER PIECE, FOUR ACRES REMAINING THAT THEY ALWAYS INTENDED TO GROW INTO. IT WAS MASTER PLAN FOR STORM WATER.

UTILITIES WERE STUBBED OUT.

DRIVEWAYS WERE STUBBED OUT.

OH. BROWN BALDERSTONE.

WHY DID I SKIP OVER MY FAULT, SORRY.

[01:50:04]

AND WATERS. OK, SO GARDENS AT WATERSTONES, RIGHT? THIS ONE, YOU GUYS HAVE SEEN THE WHOLE MASTER PLAN THIRD PHASE OF THE THREE PHASES OF WATERSTONES PHASE ONE UNDER CONSTRUCTION, PHASE TWO IS ABOUT TO START.

AND IT IS A MASTERPLAN COMMUNITY AGAIN FOR UTILITIES AND STORM WATER AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

WE HAVE SHARED RECREATION AMENITIES BETWEEN ALL THE PHASES.

THIS PARTICULAR PHASE HAS FOUR SEPARATE RECREATION AREAS.

WE FAR EXCEED OPEN SPACE AND REC AREAS.

WE'RE ONLY ABOUT THREE AND A HALF FEET.

IT'S AN ACRE, AS HAS BEEN WITH THE OTHER PHASES.

ROADS ARE BUILT TO PUBLIC STANDARDS, BUT PRIVATELY MAINTAINED.

WE'RE EXTENDING THE UTILITIES.

WE DID HAVE A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING.

WE DID NOT HAVE ANY ATTENDEES.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH THE NEIGHBORS OUT THERE AND I THINK THERE'S A COMFORT LEVEL NOW WITH THESE FINAL PHASE IS MOVING IN, SO BEING VERY BRIEF.

I'LL JUST MENTION ANZ WAS UNANIMOUS FOR APPROVAL.

STAFF RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AND WE'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.

THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, SUZANNE. ANY PUBLIC SPEAKER? IT IF I'M CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASKING COUNCIL FOR A MOTION MOTION APPROVE ORDINANCE TWENTY TWENTY ONE SEVENTY NINE.

FIRST READING THANK YOU! ON A MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN FOSTER.

ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION, GENTLEMEN? SEEING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR.

I GUESS IT UNANIMOUSLY.

WE ARE ON ITEM NUMBER FIVE MADAM SMITH RESOLUTION TWENTY TWENTY ONE POINT SIXTY EIGHT THE RESOLUTION THE CITY OF PALM BAY OF OUR COUNTY, FLORIDA AMENDING RESOLUTION TWO THOUSAND THREE SIXTY ONE AS AMENDED BY RESOLUTIONS TWENTY FIFTEEN.

THAT'S FIFTY FOUR AND TWENTY FOURTEEN.

THAT'S FORTY THREE.

SECTION TWO EXHIBIT A.

THEREIN, I GRANTED A MODIFICATION TO THE CONDITIONAL USE TO ALLOW EXPANSION FOR AN AUTOMATED WAREHOUSE AND CC COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT ZONING, WHICH PROPERTY IS LOCATED SOUTH OF AND ADJACENT TO MALABAR ROAD IN THE VICINITY BETWEEN HOLIDAY PARK BOULEVARD AND CASSIA AVENUE AND LEGALLY DESCRIBED HEREIN, PROVIDED FOR CONSTRUCTION TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SITE PLAN, PROVIDING FOR A COMMENCEMENT PERIOD, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE, AND OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASK THE APPLICANT TO STEP FORWARD AND PROVIDE THE NEWS.

GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR AND FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS, MY NAME IS ANDREW PETERSON, I'M WITH BOWMAN CONSULTING GROUP BUSINESS ADDRESS FORTY FOUR FIVE ZERO WEST OF GALLIE IN MELBOURNE. JUST A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THE PROJECT.

WE ARE SEEKING A AMENDMENT TO OUR CONDITIONAL USE, THE CONDITIONAL USE BACK AT THE TIME THE PROPERTY WAS DEVELOPED BACK IN 2003, I THINK DUE TO THE OVERALL SIZE OF THE PROPERTY.

BIG BOX RETAILERS ARE REQUIRED TO GO THROUGH CONDITIONAL USE.

THEREFORE, IT'S ON THE, YOU KNOW, IT'S TIED TO THE PROPERTY AND EVERYTHING AT THIS POINT NOW REQUIRES AN AMENDMENT WE DO TO THE SITE.

PLAN REQUIRES AN ADDITIONAL CONDITIONAL USE.

SO FOLLOWING THE PROCEDURE, WE DID SUBMIT THE APPLICATION.

WE DID THE MAILINGS TO ALL THE RESIDENTS WITHIN THE I THINK IT'S 200 FOOT RADIUS.

MAYBE 300 COMMUNITY MEETING WAS HELD.

ONLY ONE MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC ATTENDED.

WE JUST HAD SOME FEEDBACK FROM THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE KIND OF WHAT THE GENERAL IDEA WAS.

I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE ON THE PRESENTATION.

BUT IN YOUR AGENDA PACKET, I THINK THE IF THERE IS THE SITE PLAN IN THERE, IT'S A CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN.

JUST TO KIND OF SUM UP, WAL-MART IS LOOKING TO EXPAND IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE ONLINE GROCERY PICKUP PROGRAM, THE ORANGE PARKING SPACES.

THEY ARE ACTUALLY THAT PROGRAM HAS GOT SO SUCCESSFUL OVER THE LAST YEAR THAT THEY NEED TO EXPAND THE BUILDING.

SO WHEN YOU SEE THE TERM WAREHOUSE, IT'S ACTUALLY JUST THE STOCK ROOM OR THAT THIS WILL BE STANDING OUT ON THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE BUILDING OVER THE EXISTING PARKING WILL PUSH THE PARKING SPACE OUT, AND THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME AUTOMATION IN THERE. SO YOU ORDER ONLINE, IT GETS THIS FENCE THROUGH THE WALL.

THAT'S KIND OF THE DETAILS THERE.

SO WE'RE UP AND WE REVIEWED THE STAFF REPORT.

WE'RE IN CONCURRENCE WITH THAT.

PLANNING ZONING BOARD RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR APPROVAL TONIGHT.

I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

YOU MAY HAVE ANY QUICK COUNCILMAN QUESTION.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR.

IS THAT GOING TO TAKE AWAY BASED ON THE SIDE PLAN? IS THAT GOING TO TAKE AWAY THE DRIVE THROUGH THE PHARMACY? NO, WE HAVE ALIGNED IT.

AND JUST LIKE WHEN I KIND OF DISCLOSE THAT SITE PLAN IS ACTUALLY UPSIDE DOWN.

IT'S THE FACE OF THE BUILDING.

SO YOU ARE LOOKING AT IT FACING SOUTH, SO TO SPEAK.

NO, THE DRIVE THRU PHARMACY WILL REMAIN.

WE'VE ACTUALLY CAREFULLY ACCOMMODATED YOU'RE FAMILIAR.

THERE IS A BIG MAJOR GAS TRANSMISSION EASEMENT, SO WE'VE HAD TO PUSH OUR WHOLE BUILDING

[01:55:02]

THIS WILL ALLOW THE DRIVE THRU PHARMACY TO REMAIN.

I THINK WE MIGHT HAVE TO MAKE SOME IMPROVEMENTS TO IT, BUT GENERALLY SPEAKING, THE TURNING RADIUS WILL GET A LITTLE TIGHTER, BUT IT'LL STILL BE WORKING OUT WITH SITE PLAN.

HOPEFULLY, WE'LL WITH APPROVAL TONIGHT WILL BE OUR SUMMIT, THE SITE PLAN NEXT WEEK.

ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? THIS THIS IS INCREASING OUR COMMERCIAL TAX BASE.

GENTLEMEN. AND I DON'T END SALES TAX, HOPEFULLY.

MA'AM. YES, HOW MANY JOBS, ACTUALLY, I DO NOT HAVE THAT NUMBER WITH ME.

UNFORTUNATELY, LOOKING TO THAT INCREASE IN THE COMMERCIAL SPACE THAT YOU HAVE, I'M EXCITED ABOUT. SO YES.

CAN STAFF ANSWER THAT QUESTION? AND THAT WE'VE HEARD, PATRICK, HAVE YOU HEARD HOW MANY JOBS DID YOU SEE THAT ANYWHERE IN THE APPLICATION? OUT OF CURIOSITY, I THINK WE PUT UNKNOWN BECAUSE IT WAS NOT DETERMINED THIS IS A FAIRLY NEW PROGRAM ON EXPANDING IT, SO I DON'T BELIEVE WE HAVE THAT ANSWER.

I DON'T WANT TO YELL OUT. IT WASN'T IN THE APPLICATION, BUT THE RESEARCH THAT WE DID ON THESE TYPES OF FACILITIES BECAUSE THEY'RE ALMOST FULLY AUTOMATED.

NOT A LOT OF JOBS.

THERE'S A LOT OF LITTLE ROBOTS THAT ARE RUNNING BACK AND FORTH AND ZIPPING THROUGH THE LITTLE NARROW SHELVING AND THEN SPITTING IT OUT.

THERE IS SOME STAFF IN THERE.

I GUESS IT MAY BE FIVE TO SIX THAT.

THANK YOU, PATRICK. THE ANSWER MR. FELIX THIS QUESTION.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN SEE THIS, BUT THIS IS THE BACK OF THE STORE.

SO MALABAR ROADS DOWN HERE IN IN THE FRONT IS WHERE THE PHARMACY IS AND DRIVE THRU AND RIGHT HERE, THIS WALL IS WHERE IT'S GOING TO START, SO EVERYTHING IS GOING TO STAY.

THE PHARMACY IS RIGHT NOW.

THANKS, PATRICK. THANK YOU.

I'M CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASKING FOR A A MOTION MOTION APPROVED KQ DASH 40 TO DASH 20 TWENTY ONE, SUBJECT TO STAFF COMMENTS CONTAINED IN THE STAFF REPORT.

SECOND, I GOT A MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON SEEING BY COUNCILMAN FELIX.

ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION, GENTLEMEN, AND NONE ALL IN FAVOR PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

ITEM NUMBER SIX MADAM SMITH RESOLUTION TWENTY TWENTY ONE SIXTY NINE A RESOLUTION THE CITY OF PALM BAY OF OUR COUNTY, FLORIDA, OMITTING RESOLUTION.

TWENTY TWELVE. THAT'S FORTY FIVE.

AS AMENDED BY RESOLUTIONS 2015.

THAT'S TWENTY NINE IN TWO THOUSAND THIRTEEN.

THAT'S FIFTY SEVEN. SECTION TWO EXHIBIT A.

THEREIN. I GRADED A MODIFICATION TO THE CONDITIONAL USE TO ALLOW EXPANSION OF PERMITTED USE ON A PARCEL OF 10 OR MORE ACRES OF AREA FOR RECREATIONAL VEHICLE DETAIL AND DELIVERY SHOP AND S.C.

COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT ZONING, WHICH PROPERTY IS LOCATED EAST OF AN ADJACENT TO CULVER DRIVE IN THE VICINITY NORTH AND SOUTH OF CENTER LAKE DRIVE AND LEGALLY DESCRIBED HEREIN, PROVIDED FOR CONSTRUCTION TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SITE PLAN PROVIDED FOR A COMMENCEMENT PERIOD PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

THANK YOU, MA'AM. I'M GOING TO OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASK THE APPLICANT TO STEP FORWARD AND PRESENT THEIR CASE.

THANK YOU, JAKE WISE, CIVIL ENGINEER, FOR THE PROJECT, I APOLOGIZE THIS IS THE CORRECT ONE I WAS TALKING ABOUT EARLIER. I'VE NEVER DONE THAT ALL THESE YEARS.

I DON'T THINK SO.

THIS ONE IS A 24 ACRE MASTERPLAN DEVELOPMENT.

I WAS BUILT BACK IN 2016.

THE FOUR ACRES THAT WERE HERE BEFORE YOU TONIGHT FOR THE CONDITIONAL USE WAS ALWAYS INTENDED TO BE A FUTURE EXPANSION.

IT WAS MASTER PLAN FOR STORM WATER UTILITY STUBBED OUT, DRIVEWAY STUBBED OUT.

IT'S ALREADY FENCED.

SO WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS JUST EXPANDING THEIR BUSINESS FOR DETAIL AND PREPPING THE VEHICLES FOR DELIVERY.

THEY HAVE BEEN DOING THIS ON SITE.

WE'RE NOT ADDING ANY DRIVEWAYS AND WE'RE NOT INCREASING TRAFFIC AT ALL.

AS PART OF THE PROJECT, THEY WILL PROBABLY HIRE A FEW MORE EMPLOYEES BECAUSE THEIR BUSINESS IS RAMPING UP.

THE PANDEMIC HAS BEEN VERY GOOD TO THE RV BUSINESS, SO AT LEAST THERE'S SOME POSITIVES.

SO WITH THAT, WE DID HAVE A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING.

WE HAD THREE ATTENDEES A HUSBAND AND WIFE AND ANOTHER GENTLEMAN.

OUR SITE, THIS PORTION OF THE SITE, THE FOUR ACRES, IS IMMEDIATELY NEXT TO THE SENIOR CENTER, SO WE DON'T BACK UP TO RESIDENTIAL.

THEY ASKED IF WE COULD GO AHEAD AND INCLUDE A LARGER BUFFER.

IT WAS ALSO IN THE CITY STAFF REPORT.

SO BEFORE WE EVEN SAW THE REPORT, WE ALREADY AGREED TO DO THAT WITH THE NEIGHBORS.

SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE KEEP A NICE NUMBER OF TREES AND BUFFER AND PER THE STAFF REPORT, EVEN PUT MORE PLANTINGS IN TO KIND OF FILL IN ANY GAPS.

SO IT SHOULD BE A REALLY NICE BUFFER TO THE SOUTH.

THERE WAS ALSO SOME VERY LARGE TREES ON THE PROPERTY THAT WE WERE ABLE TO SAVE, AND THEN WE'VE SINCE EVEN REDESIGNED A LITTLE BIT MORE TO REDUCE PAVEMENT AND INCREASE TREE

[02:00:05]

ANOTHER QUESTION THEY HAD WAS NOT TO HAVE ANY LIGHT POLLUTION COMING OFF THE PROPERTY.

SO WE HAVE WE'LL HAVE SHIELDED LIGHTS SHINING DOWN.

IT WILL BE A DAYTIME OPERATION, SO WE'RE NOT ANTICIPATING A LOT OF ACTIVITY AT NIGHT ANYWAY. BUT WITH THE SHIELDED LIGHT SHINING DOWN PLUS THE BUFFER, THAT WOULDN'T BE ANY LIGHT POLLUTION AT ALL.

AND THE OTHER QUESTION THEY ASKED ABOUT WAS THE TRAFFIC, WHICH I JUST COVERED.

WE'RE NOT ADDING DRIVEWAYS OR INCREASING THAT.

SO WITH THAT, OH, THERE WAS ONE OTHER STAFF COMMENT.

PUBLIC WORKS HAS AN OFFICE OFFSITE DITCH TO THE SOUTH OF US AND THEY MAINTAIN IT HISTORICALLY ON THE SOUTH SIDE AND WE'RE IN THE NORTH SIDE.

THEY ASKED IF WE WOULD PROVIDE AN EASEMENT ONCE WE EXPLAINED TO THEM THE TREE BUFFER AND THAT WE WANTED TO PRESERVE THE TREES ON THE NORTH SIDE.

THEY WITHDREW THE REQUEST FOR THE BUFFER OR EXCUSE ME, FOR THE EASEMENT TO MAINTAIN FROM THE NORTH SIDE. SO WE REQUEST THAT NOT BE A CONDITION OF THE APPROVAL.

OTHER THAN THAT, WE AGREE WITH ALL THE CONDITIONS P AND Z WAS UNANIMOUS.

STAFF RECOMMEND APPROVAL AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

QUESTIONS COUNCILMAN COUNCILMAN.

FOSTER THE BUFFER.

THAT. AND IT COMES UP TO THE RESIDENTIAL YOU'RE LOOKING AT, NOT A FENCE, BUT JUST TREES, SO WE DON'T WE'RE NOT ADJACENT TO THE RESIDENTIAL AT ALL FOR THIS PROJECT, RIGHT? THE PREVIOUS PROJECT DID, BUT WE EVEN OFFERED TO INCREASE THE BUFFER PER THEIR REQUEST AND DO ADDITIONAL PLANTINGS PER STAFF REQUEST.

SO IT'LL BE A FENCE THAT'S ALREADY THERE.

PLUS THE PRESERVATION AND PLANTINGS.

THE FENCE IS A CHAIN LINK FENCE OR A FENCE.

THERE A LONG TIME, I DON'T RECALL THE TIME I HAD, MY SITE COULD SAY.

THAT'S THE BUFFER NEXT TO THE SEEING CENTER IS VEGETATION, RIGHT? YES. IT IS IT IS A SIX FOOT HIGH CHAIN LINK FENCE, THAT'S CORRECT.

OKAY. WE DON'T EVEN THINK YOU'LL SEE THE FENCE WITH ALL THE TREES THAT MANY TREES.

YES. BUT THANK.

THE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU, SIR. THE SPEAKER CALLED CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASKING FOR A MOTION MOTION APPROVED CASEY YOU DASH FORTY SIX DASH TWENTY TWENTY ONE SUBJECT TO STAFF'S COMMENTS AND CONDITIONS.

I CAN. I GOT A MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN FOSTER.

ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION, GENTLEMEN? SEEING NARNAUL IN FAVOR, HIGH PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

ITEM NUMBER SEVEN MADAM SMITH ORTON IS TWENTY TWENTY ONE POINT EIGHTY OR AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY, BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA, ADMITTING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES TITLE FIVE LEGISLATIVE CHAPTER SIXTY FOR BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT BY REPEALING THE CHAPTER IN ITS ENTIRETY, PROVIDING FOR THE REPEAL OF ORDINANCES OR PARTS OF ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT. HEREWITH PROVIDING FOR DELETION FROM THE CITY OF PALM BAY.

CODE OF ORDINANCES PROVIDING FOR A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

THANK YOU, MA'AM. I'M OPENING THE PUBLIC HEARING.

MADAME SHERMAN. OH, THANK YOU, MAYOR.

THIS IS THE ITEM THAT WE DISCUSSED WITH YOU AT OUR LAST REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING.

IT IS A REQUEST TO DISSOLVE BY REPEALING THE ORDINANCE TO DISSOLVE THE BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT.

AS WE DISCUSSED AT THE LAST MEETING, THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF CHALLENGES WITH REGARD TO THE BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT.

ONE IN PARTICULAR, IS THAT THERE IS NO FUNDING MECHANISM TO DO WHAT THE DISTRICT WAS CREATED TO DO, AND WE'VE HAD A NUMBER OF ISSUES GETTING THE THE BOARD ACTUALLY PUT TOGETHER. SO A REQUEST STILL STANDS AND THIS IS THE OFFICIAL ORDINANCE REQUESTS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. ANYONE HAS QUESTIONS.

IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK FOR AGAINST THE SIDE OF.

YOU NOT INCLUDING THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASKING FOR A A MOTION MOTION TO APPROVE ORDINANCE, TWENTY TWENTY ONE TO EIGHTY FIRST READING SECOND GOT A MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN FELIX.

ALL IN FAVOR PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

WE ARE NOW ON CONSENT.

[CONSENT AGENDA]

ITEMS FOR SEVEN AND 11.

OR SEVEN, 11? ALSO WISHES THIS ALL ANY ADDITIONAL ITEMS. OTHER THAN THOSE MENTIONED.

[02:05:03]

ALL IN FAVOR, I GUESS, IS UNANIMOUSLY.

WE ARE AN ITEM FOR BILL BRATTON.

[4. Resolution 2021-70, authorizing a temporary building permit fee rebate program and preapplication fee waiver.]

THAT'S THE CHIEF, BILL BRATTON 586 OCEAN SPRAY STREET, SOUTHWEST.

FIRST OFF, I'VE NEVER BEEN A FAN WHEN I HAD FUNDS THAT WERE AVAILABLE TO COME INTO THE CITY TO NOT NOT COLLECT THEM BECAUSE THAT PUTS MORE ON THE TAXPAYERS.

BUT SINCE THIS IS A TEMPORARY FEE REBATE, I'M WILLING TO GO ALONG WITH THAT.

BUT WHAT REALLY MAKES ME FEEL GOOD IN THIS ONE IS THE FACT THAT YOU TOOK IT FROM JUST ONE SMALL DISTRICT OF THE INDIVIDUALS THAT WERE GOING TO GET IT AND YOU MADE IT OPEN FOR EVERYBODY.

SO THERE WAS NO THERE'S NO PERCEPTION OF PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT.

AND THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT THING WHEN YOU'RE DEALING WITH THE GOVERNMENT.

NO PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT.

SO I'M IN FAVOR OF THAT.

THE OTHER THING WAS WHEN IT SAYS TEMPORARY, I WAS WONDERING, DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA ON HOW LONG WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS STAY OF OF COLLECTION? IS IT GOING TO BE? WELL, IT'S A TEMPORARY THING, BUT WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT FROM NOW ON OR IS IT A TEMPORARY THING UNTIL SUNSET OF 2022 OR, YOU KNOW, SOME KIND OF DEADLINE DATE? THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

AND, YOU KNOW, THE SPEAKER CALLED MADAM SHERMAN.

YES, AMIR, THANK YOU.

THIS IS PROPOSED TO EXTEND THROUGH THE END OF THIS FISCAL YEAR, SO IT WOULD RUN THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30TH.

AND MAY I HAVE ONE ACTUAL EDIT TO THE ITEM WHEN IF YOU'RE OK FOR ME TO SHARE THAT NOW? THANK YOU. SO A STAFF ADVISED ME THAT WE HAVE AN ACTUAL REALLY AN ERROR ON THE BEGINNING OF THE RESOLUTION. SO IF YOU GO TO THE PAGE, THE RESOLUTION STARTS THE FIRST, WHEREAS PARAGRAPH WE ACCIDENTALLY DESCRIBED IT AS BUILDING IMPACT FEES.

THERE'S NOT ACTUALLY SUCH A THING.

IT SHOULD BE BUILDING FEES SO THAT WORD IMPACT NEEDS TO BE REMOVED.

WE JUST STATE THAT MADAM ATTORNEY JUST CROSSED.

IT. AND OUR DEPUTY, CLARK, HAS MADE NOTE OF THAT, AND THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MA'AM. NO ONE, THE SPEAKER, SIR, I'M ASKING FOR A A MOTION MOTION APPROVED RESOLUTION OF TWENTY TWENTY ONE DASH SEVENTY TO REFLECT CITY MANAGER'S REVISIONS.

A MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON SECONDED BY COUNCILOR.

MAYOR MEDINA, SINCE Y'ALL DIDN'T JUMP IN, I SECOND IT.

ALL IN FAVOR, I I GUESS, IS UNANIMOUSLY.

ITEM SEVEN. THANK YOU, MAYOR.

THIS IS ME, I PULL THIS ITEM, AS WE'RE ALL AWARE, WE'RE LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW,

[7. Consideration of entering into negotiations with Palm Bay Medical Office Corporation for the purchase of condominium office buildings located at 336 and 342 Cogan Drive to serve as satellite offices for the Building Department to service customers in south Palm Bay]

SO MY QUESTION, I DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO TALK TO MR. VALENTINO, SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I ASKED, YOU KNOW, WHERE DO WE SEE THAT WE HAVE A NEED FOR PURCHASING, YOU KNOW, THE THE SATELLITE OFFICES WHILE THIS IS, YOU KNOW, BUILDING THE ENTERPRISE FUNDS, I'M STILL JUST INQUIRING LIKE.

WAS THERE A SURVEY DONE THAT SAID, OK, WE'RE GOING TO NEED IT IN THE SOUTH AREA OR OR WHAT SO? AND SHERMAN, DO YOU CALL THEM UP OR CAN WE GET THEM? HE CAN COME ON UP. YEAH.

THANK YOU. IT'S ONE OF THE DO THE PROPER PROTOCOL YOU GET.

MARINE CORPS COMES OUT IN ME AT TIMES, SO I DIDN'T WANT TO.

SO GOOD EVENING. VALENTINO PEREZ, CHIEF BUILDING OFFICIAL, MAYOR, COUNCIL, IT'S A GOOD QUESTION. DEPUTY MAYOR, I WILL SAY, AS REFLECTED IN THE THE MEMO, THERE'S ALMOST LIKE A DUAL PURPOSE HERE TO SERVICE THE SOUTH SIDE FOR THE RESIDENTS.

AND AS WE GO THROUGH THAT TRANSITION OF BUILDING E IN THE INTERIM, IT WILL GIVE US A SPOT. OUR LEASE IS ABOUT ALREADY A YEAR IN TWO YEARS OUT.

CONTRACTUALLY, OUR DESIGNERS ARE DUE TO US FOR DESIGN INTO JULY.

THAT PUTS US ANOTHER SIX MONTHS OUT, ALMOST A YEAR AND A HALF HOUR LEASE WHERE WE'RE AT.

SO HAVING THAT IN MIND AND SERVICING THE PUBLIC SELF WITH ALL THE CONSTRUCTION, THERE'S PROBABLY AN AWFULLY OF TWO BILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF CONSTRUCTION ON THE SOUTH SIDE COMING. WE FOUND THOSE TWO BUILDINGS THAT ARE ALMOST IN THAT CONVERSION OF A GOVERNMENT

[02:10:04]

SO I BELIEVE IT'LL BE A NICE CORRIDOR FOR THE FIT AND THE INTERIM AS WE GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF BUILDING E FUTURE.

THE ADDITIONAL QUESTION, I GUESS THE LAST ONE, YOU KNOW, ONCE BUILDING IS FULLY CONSTRUCTED, DO YOU SEE ANY OTHER PURPOSE FOR THIS AREA OR SPECIFICALLY JUST EXPANSION? I SEE A LOT OF EXPANSION HERE.

I COULD FEEL IT TOO.

TODAY'S GOING TO BE FOR ME PERSONALLY IN AN 18 HOUR SHIFT DAY, SO WE'RE GOING TO GET REALLY BUSY HERE. AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO IT'S PROPERTY THAT CAN BE UTILIZED SOLD OFF LATER ON. SO THERE'S MANY OPTIONS WITH THE DIRECTION OF THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE AND THE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. WE'RE GROWING WEST AND WE'RE GOING SOUTH.

THAT'S RIGHT AT THE SAME TIME.

SO. WHAT ABOUT THE LEASE HERE? YOU KNOW, IT EXPIRES, WHAT NEXT? IT'S A THREE YEAR LEASE WHERE ONE YEAR IN, SO TWO YEARS FROM FROM THE STATE.

THE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR COUNCILMAN FELIX.

IF I MAY ADD, I THINK THIS IS A GREAT A SMART MOVE OF THE CITY CONSIDERING AS AS A DIRECT CHIEF BUILDING OFFICER MR. PEREZ MENTIONED, AS IF YOU'D THINK OF THE SOUTHWEST SECTION OF THE CITY POTENTIAL.

THE WHOLE COMPOUND, THE WHOLE AREA, ALL THESE ARE ALL AREAS THAT DON'T DO OR NEWER DEVELOPMENT. SOUTHWEST IS PROBABLY THE LEAST BUILT INTO THE FOUR QUADRANT.

SO I CAN SEE AGAIN, YOU KNOW, EVEN AFTER OUR BUILDING IS IS FULLY BUILT, IT'S STILL GOING TO BE SOME NEEDS.

AND IT'S IT'S SO WELL LOCATED IN RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF BAYSIDE.

SO I THINK IT'S TRULY A GREAT CITY SINCE WE HAVE THE THE MEANS TO TO SOME.

THANK YOU, I DON'T WANT TO GIVE OUR TAIL IN NEGOTIATIONS.

IN OTHER WORDS, I CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO FEEL LIKE WE'RE IN DESPERATE NEED OF THAT PROPERTY. CERTAINLY, WE'RE NOT, BUT CERTAINLY I CAN SEE WHERE THERE WOULD BE A BENEFIT DOWN RANGE. BUT I DON'T WANT TO PUT OURSELVES IN A IN A IN A BACK, HAVE OUR BACKS AGAINST THE WALL REGARDING ANY FUTURE NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER.

I MEAN, THANK YOU, MAYOR.

WE HAVE NO IDEA WHEN BUILDING E WILL BE COMPLETED.

THAT'S CORRECT.

CONSTRUCTION. LIKE I MENTIONED, COUNCILMAN FOSTER THERE D TO US FOR DESIGN IN JULY.

HER CONTRACT WITH THE BUILDING ATMOSPHERE OF PRICES GOING UP.

WHO KNOWS HOW THAT PRICE IS GOING TO GO OUT TO BID? EXACTLY. EXACTLY.

SO THESE TWO BUILDINGS IN THE SOUTH AND BAYSIDE LAKES IS.

THE CRUCIAL TO YOUR OPERATION.

ABSOLUTELY. AND EVEN IF WE HAVE BUILT IN NEED RIGHT NOW, THAT NEED BECAUSE IMO LAKES IS GROWING, IT'S GOING TO BE HUGE.

THAT'S GOING TO CAUSE A LOT OF WORK FOR YOU GUYS.

SO, OK. APPRECIATE IT, THANK YOU.

YOU'RE WELCOME. THANK YOU FOR. YEP, SIR, ALL YOUR COUNCIL, MOST AUTHORIZED STAFF TO NEGOTIATE THE PURCHASE OF THREE, THREE, SIX AND THREE FOUR TWO COKE AND DRIVE SOUTHEAST AND BRING FORTH THE FINAL PURCHASE AGREEMENT FOR CONSIDERATION AT A FUTURE CITY COUNCIL MEETING. SECOND MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON, SECOND IN BOARD COUNCILMAN FELIX, ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION, GENTLEMEN SEEING NONE.

ALL IN FAVOR PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

ITEM NUMBER 11.

[11. Consideration of appropriating funds from the Undesignated Fund Balance for fuel for the North Regional Water Treatment Plant replacement generator ($16,200).]

NATHAN WHITE, 13, AND ONE SEABREEZE STREET, SOUTHWEST.

I SEE IN THIS AGENDA THAT THE PROJECT WAS APPROVED, WHICH INCLUDED REPLACEMENT OF THIS FUEL TANK. BUT APPARENTLY DID NOT INCLUDE THE FUEL.

TWO QUESTIONS THAT THIS RAISES FOR ME THAT I'D LIKE TO ASK OF COUNSEL.

ONE IS WHAT HAPPENED TO ANY FUEL THAT MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN REMAINING IN THE PREVIOUS TANK IF THERE WAS ANY REMAINING, WHICH COULD BE ITS OWN QUESTION.

AND TO HOW DID WE? BUDGET FOR A TANK, FOR ONE SOLE PURPOSE AND NOT BUDGET FOR THE THING THAT GOES IN IT, WHICH IS THAT ONE SOLE PURPOSE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

[02:15:01]

I'LL ACTUALLY ASK OUR UTILITIES DIRECTOR, CHRIS LITTLE, TO COME UP AND ADDRESS THOSE QUESTIONS. AMEN.

THANK YOU, MS., A LITTLE.

TO ANSWER THE FIRST QUESTION, THE EXISTING FUEL WAS REMOVED FROM THE TANK, CLEANED AND THEN REPLACED, SO WE ARE ABLE TO REUSE THAT FUEL IN TERMS OF NOT BUDGETING FOR IT AND THE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS.

IT STATES THAT THE OWNER IS TO SUPPLY THE FUEL.

IT WAS AN OVERSIGHT DURING THE TRANSFER FROM ENGINEERING TO OPERATIONS, AND IT WAS NOT ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE BUDGET.

EITHER WAY, WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT IN THIS CASE, SINCE WE'LL BE PAYING FOR IT OURSELVES. IT PROBABLY WILL ACTUALLY BE CHEAPER INSTEAD OF PAYING OVERHEAD COSTS FROM A CONTRACTOR TO SUPPLY IT.

SIR, THANK YOU. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? NINA A MOTION MOTION APPROVE APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS ON THE NEXT SCHEDULED BUDGET AMENDMENT AMOUNT SIXTEEN THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS.

SECOND, THE MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN FELIX.

ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION, GENTLEMEN? IN NONE, ALL IN FAVOR, I PASSED AS UNANIMOUSLY.

YES, SIR. FOR THE CHARTER REVIEW.

MY WHAT MY FIRST APPOINTEE IS A FORMER MAYOR, WILLIAM CAPOTE.

WE NEEDED SOMEBODY ON A COMMISSION THAT HAS EXPERIENCE IN THE CITY AND ON THE CITY COUNCIL. AND I THINK HE WOULD MAKE A GREAT APPOINTMENT WITH HIS EXPERIENCE AND WISDOM FROM SERVING AND PALM BAY AND BEING A LONG RESIDENT OF PALM BAY.

AND MY SECOND APPOINTEE IS PHIL MOORE, WHO'S A CANDIDATE, AS YOU KNOW, FOR THE CITY

[02:20:01]

AND ISSUES AND LOCAL PARTIZAN RACES, AND ALSO IS ALSO BEEN A CANDIDATE FOR THE OFFICE, AND I THINK HE HAS SERVED THIS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE WHEN IT COMES TO STATE STATE LAW.

YOU KNOW, THERE WAS AN INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED IN THE CITY WITH THAT MICHIGAN, WHERE SOMEBODY RAN INTO A CAR, RAN INTO A PARADE CHRISTMAS PARADE AND THAT IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT ABOUT. NOT ABOUT PALM BAY, WHAT OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT DOES TO KEEP US SAFE AND WHAT THE PARK AND RECREATION DOES TO KEEP US SAFE DURING THIS FESTIVAL, SO I ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY IN PALM BAY TO COME OUT TO THIS CHRISTMAS PARADE.

THIS IS THE COUNCIL'S SECOND TIME WE HAD A FUN LIKE THE FIRST TIME WE DID IT AND THE TREE LIGHTING TO TREE LIGHTING.

I LIKE THE NEXT TIME I LIKE TO HAVE THAT TREE IN FRONT OF CITY HALL.

I THINK THAT WILL, YOU KNOW, RECOGNIZE CHRISTMAS A LITTLE BIT BETTER.

OH, FIVE COUNCILMAN FOSTER.

THAT'S A GREAT IDEA BECAUSE, YOU KNOW.

HE GREW UP IN NEW YORK CITY, YOU KNOW, THEY USED TO THE LIGHTING OF THE ROCKEFELLER CENTER, YOU KNOW, AND THAT'S THAT'S A MAGICAL PLACE AND WOULD COME CHRISTMAS.

AND ALSO, YOU KNOW.

UM. CHRISTMAS IS A JOYOUS TIME OF THE YEAR.

IT'S A VERY SPECIAL TIME WE CELEBRATE THE LIFE OF JESUS, BUT ALSO DURING THIS TIME.

[02:25:07]

A LOT OF SUICIDES HAPPEN, A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE FAMILY MEMBERS OR DOWN ON THEIR LUCK. THE REASON I MENTION THAT IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO'S FEELING.

NOT WELL, MENTALLY.

REACH OUT TO YOUR CHURCHES, REACH OUT.

THERE'S A NUMBER TO ONE ONE BURAK OR REACH OUT TO THEM.

GIVE THEM A PHONE CALL.

GIVE THEM A HUG. INVITE THEM TO YOUR HOUSE.

IT'S IN MS. EVERY YEAR WHEN I HEAR A LOSS OF LIFE, BUT ESPECIALLY DURING THIS HOLIDAY.

IT'S BAD ENOUGH, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE DIE ON THE ROADWAYS TRYING TO GET TO THEIR LOVED ONES AND FAMILY MEMBERS AND OR SO REACH OUT TO NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS.

AND IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE IS NOT THAT WELL, PRAY FOR THEM, GET THEM, HELP THEM GET COUNSEL DURING THIS TIME. AND THAT BRINGS ME TO MY LAST THING THIS COLD NIGHT SHELTER THAT HAPPENED AT TRUE FREEVILLE THAT BURNED DOWN.

I WENT BY THERE AND I SPOKE TO BISHOP CLARKE THAT DAY THAT AFTERNOON.

REACH OUT TO TRUTH REVEALED IF YOU CAN HELP THEM WITH THIS COLD NIGHT SHELTER, I WOULD LIKE FOR COUNCIL TO CONSIDER.

WITH THE OUTPUT FUNDS, MAYBE WE COULD TALK ABOUT THIS ON THAT ON THE KNIFE, SOME TYPE OF TEMPORARY NIGHT SHELTER, BECAUSE NOW WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING IN BOVARD COUNTY.

WE HAVE NOTHING IN THE CITY OF PALM BAY AND I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU.

A COUPLE OF NIGHTS AGO, I GOT COLD.

I HAD TO TURN ON THE HEAT IN MY MY HOUSE AND I FELT THAT, YOU KNOW, AND I DON'T USUALLY GET THAT COLD, BUT I CAN IMAGINE SLEEPING OUT IN THE WOODS.

SO I THINK THIS COUNCIL NEEDS TO CONSIDER SOME TYPE OF MAYOR.

YOU MENTIONED THE SOURCE, A BUS WE MIGHT WANT TO.

IF A NONPROFIT DON'T STEP UP, THE CITY NEEDS TO STEP UP.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. THANK YOU.

COUNCILMAN FOSTER DEPUTY MAYOR, JOHNSON THANK YOU, MAYOR.

AS ANNOUNCED, WE HAVE THE CHRISTMAS PARADE THIS WEEKEND.

COUNCILMAN FOSTER HERE ON WHAT I WAS GOING TO HIT ON IN REGARDS TO THE SAFETY OF WHAT WE'VE SEEN BEFORE. BUT ONE ONE PRECAUTION THAT THEY DO USE IS DUMP TRUCKS TO TO, YOU KNOW, MAKE SURE THAT WE KEEP OUR CITIZENS SAFE AS WELL AS, LIKE I SAID, THE BOYS IN BLUE.

I SEE. APPRECIATE YOU, LIEUTENANT.

THANK YOU, SIR. COMMANDER, I'M SORRY, COMMANDER.

DON'T GET. DON'T GET ME ON THE WAY OUT.

I'M SORRY. I GOT YOU.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. BUT BUT AND YOU KNOW I'M SAYING, I'M TELLING YOU, I APPRECIATE YOU.

I REALLY DO. I WAS THERE THE MORNING GOV.

AT TRUTH REVEALED.

WHEN IT HAPPENED, I WAS ACTUALLY ON MY WAY TO WORK.

WHEN I SAW IT AT 5:30, AROUND 5:45 IS WHEN I SAW THE FLAMES AND MADE MY WAY THERE.

SO TERRY, I APPRECIATE YOU.

I KNOW, I KNOW HOW MUCH WORK YOU PUT IN.

I UNDERSTAND.

BUT IT'S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.

THE COMMUNITY IS GOING TO RALLY UP.

YOU HEARD WHAT THE BISHOP SAID FROM THE ASHES.

SOMETHING WILL RISE. SO IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

IT'S EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE OK TO THAT POINT.

FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS WORKING HARD.

THEY WERE WORKING HARD. I APPRECIATE THEM AND I APPRECIATE THEM IN THIS SITUATION THAT HAPPENED EARLIER WITH THE 13 YEAR OLD JUST TRYING TO GO TO SCHOOL, JUST TRYING TO GO TO SCHOOL. AND I APPRECIATE YOU ALL THE ALL.

PRAY FOR THAT FAMILY.

I DON'T KNOW THE STATUS RIGHT NOW.

OR DO WE? BUT JUST JUST PRAY FOR THAT FAMILY, PRAY FOR HIS LIFE.

YOU KNOW, LIKE, IS THIS TRYING TO GO TO SCHOOL, MAN? SO CITY OF PALM BAY SAFE, BE SAFER.

BE MINDFUL THESE THESE BUS STOPS, THESE BUSSES STOP FOR A REASON.

THEY HAVE THE LIGHTS AND EVERYTHING.

PAY ATTENTION. STAY OFF YOUR PHONES, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE YEAH, YOU SHOULD.

THERE'S NO REASON TO PASS THE SCHOOL BUS.

AND NOW YOU KNOW, THIS FAMILY MIGHT NOT HAVE CHRISTMAS WITH THEIR CHILD'S BECAUSE OF, YOU KNOW, IGNORANCE AND NEGLIGENCE.

SO I HATE TO, YOU KNOW, USUALLY I COME WITH MORE, YOU KNOW, UPBEAT INFORMATION.

AND, YOU KNOW, BUT THAT REALLY TICKED ME OFF, MAYOR.

SO I JUST WANTED TO, YOU KNOW, ECHO THAT.

BUT I DO APPRECIATE OUR POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT.

THEY'VE ALL BEEN BUSY THIS PAST WEEK, ALSO WITH THE SUICIDE THAT HAPPENED AS WELL.

SO I'LL HANG IN THERE, MAN.

THANK YOU ALL. THAT'S ALL.

AND I'LL START, I'LL START WHERE YOU PICKED UP, WHERE YOU LEFT OFF, I SHOULD SAY.

YOU KNOW, EACH AND EVERY EVERY ONE TAKES THE TIME TO PAUSE.

AND IF YOU SEE A STOP SCHOOL BUS, THERE'S NO GOING BY.

WHETHER YOU'RE TEXTING OR NOT, YOU SHOULDN'T BE DOING THAT, BUT YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY

[02:30:04]

THAT'S CARELESSNESS.

AND BUT TO YOUR POINT, WHERE OUR FIRST RESPONDERS, DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON, I GOT TO TELL YOU, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT OBSTACLES THEY FACE, THEY STEP RIGHT UP AND THEY THEY FULFILL THEIR OBLIGATION AND THEIR COMMITMENT TO THIS GREAT CITY.

AND TO THAT, I IMPLORE YOU, EVEN THROUGH THE MOST DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES.

I'M PROUD OF THE MEN AND WOMEN THAT SERVE THIS CITY.

I PUT ON A UNIFORM IN PARTICULAR DURING THESE HORRIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES.

SO WITH THAT, I WANT TO JUST SAY MERRY CHRISTMAS.

YOU KNOW, AND, YOU KNOW, COUNCILMAN FOSTER, YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD WHEN YOU SAID.

A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GOING THROUGH SOME DIFFICULT TIMES.

BUT LIKE THAT CYBER STALKING ANTI-BULLYING PROCLAMATION.

JUST SMILING, SOMETIMES YOU SMILE AT SOMEONE, YOU COULD CHANGE THE WHOLE ATMOSPHERE.

I BELIEVE THAT. AND SO WHEN YOU'RE OUT THERE AND YOU'RE ENCOUNTERING PEOPLE IN THE SHOPPING CENTERS, DON'T FIGHT FOR THAT LAST PLAYSTATION THREE, AM I DATING MYSELF? SMILE AND GIVE IT UP AND LET THEM ENJOY IT.

YOU KNOW, DON'T DON'T FIGHT AND CREATE HOSTILITY.

IT'S NOT WORTH IT. WE BUILD EACH OTHER UP.

WE TALK TO ONE ANOTHER.

AND MY REPORT IS I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE FAMILY CHRISTMAS EXTRAVAGANZA.

LISTEN, IF THERE'S ANY EVENT THAT YOU CAN GO AND SMILE, THAT WOULD BE IT BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH JOY, BOUNTIFUL.

AND AND WHERE ELSE CAN YOU GO AND HAVE A GREAT TIME AND LEAVE YOUR WALLET AT HOME? THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE BEN AND JERRY'S ICE CREAM THIS YEAR.

DID YOU KNOW THAT? I LOVE ICE CREAM.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU ALL, BUT I LOVE ICE CREAM.

WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM.

THAT'S MY REPORT. GOD BLESS YOU GUYS.

AND NOW WE'RE MOVING ON TO ADMINISTRATIVE AND LEGAL REPORTS, MADAME SHERMAN.

[ADMINISTRATIVE AND LEGAL REPORTS]

YOU MENTIONED THE INCIDENTS THAT WE'VE HAD LATELY WERE PRAYING THAT THAT'S THE END OF THIS LITTLE RUN OF CHALLENGES AND THINGS WILL BE SMOOTH FROM HERE.

BUT I JUST WANT TO THANK ALL THE STAFF BECAUSE ESSENTIALLY FOR THE MONTH OF DECEMBER LEADING UP TO CHRISTMAS, WE HAVE.

DOZENS UPON DOZENS OF STAFF MEMBERS SPENDING HUNDREDS OF HOURS PREPARING FOR A LOT OF AMAZING EVENTS AND THEY JUST THEY THEY WORK HARD AND THEY PULL IT TOGETHER AND THEY WORK AS A TEAM AND I APPRECIATE THAT.

I WANTED TO MENTION, IN ADDITION TO THIS FRIDAY NIGHT'S TREE LIGHTING CEREMONY, WHICH ALSO HAS A MOVIE IN THE PARK RIGHT AFTER IT.

THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED, IN ADDITION TO THE HOLIDAY PARADE, JUST REMINDED EVERYONE THAT THE NEXT TWO WEEKENDS WILL ALSO, IN ADDITION TO CHRISTMAS EXTRAVAGANZA, INCLUDE THE LIGHT FESTS AT REGIONAL PARK.

SO IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW, WE'RE DOING THAT NOT THIS WEEKEND, BUT THE NEXT TWO WEEKENDS WILL BE FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.

WE JUST WANTED TO MAKE A MENTION OF THAT AS WELL.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. DO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT? AS FOR MEETING ROOM? THANK YOU, I ACTUALLY FORGOT ABOUT THAT, I APPRECIATE IT.

SO THE REQUEST THAT WE HAVE IS TO SCHEDULE A SPECIAL MEETING OR A MEETING OF THE PALM BAY MUNICIPAL FOUNDATION.

YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO THIS BEFORE YOUR NEXT REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING ON DECEMBER 16TH.

AND OUR REQUEST IS TO DO THAT MEETING AT A SIX P.M.

TO CONSIDER AN INNER LOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THE AMERICAN LEGION FOR FUNDRAISING RELATED TO THE MAYOR'S BALL. AND SO BEFORE I DON'T THINK COUNSEL KNOWS WHAT THE INTENT IS AND AND I THINK AT THIS POINT IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR US TO DISCLOSE THAT.

CERTAINLY, WE CAN. YOU WANT ME TO SHARE? YES, MA'AM. YES, SIR. CARRY ON.

SO ESSENTIALLY WHAT WE'RE WE'RE DOING.

THE MAYOR HAS SELECTED THE PROJECT HE WOULD LIKE US TO ACCOMPLISH WITH THE FUNDRAISING THAT TYPICALLY GOES ON RELATED TO THE MAYOR'S BALL IS TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS TO OUR SACRIFICE PARK MEMORIAL.

FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT AWARE, IT'S THE SPACE THAT'S RIGHT BETWEEN THE LIBRARY AND CITY HALL COMPLEX. THERE'S A MEMORIAL THAT WAS BUILT MANY, MANY YEARS AGO BY VOLUNTEERS, BY POLICE OFFICERS, BY MEMBERS OF THE CITY STAFF AT THE TIME, AND THEY ESSENTIALLY CREATED A MONUMENT TO HONOR THE LIVES OF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS WHO LOST THEIR LIVES IN THE LINE OF DUTY. SO THE THE THE MONUMENTS COULD DEFINITELY DO FOR A FACELIFT.

AND SO WHAT WE'VE WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON IS AN ARRANGEMENT WITH THE NONPROFIT.

THERE'S USUALLY A NONPROFIT THAT'S SELECTED TO BE THE LEAD FUNDRAISER FOR THE MAYOR'S BALL. AND SO IN THIS CASE, IT'S THE AMERICAN LEGION THAT HAS VOLUNTEERED TO STEP UP AND PERFORM IN THAT ROLE.

SO ESSENTIALLY, WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS THIS AGREEMENT WILL GO TO THE PALM BAY MUNICIPAL FOUNDATION. THE LEGION WILL BE THE LEAD AND RAISING THE FUNDS, AND THOSE FUNDS WILL GO TO THE MUNICIPAL FOUNDATION FOR THE PURPOSE OF WORKING ON IMPROVING THAT MEMORIAL.

[02:35:07]

IT WAS THAT LONG AGO AND SAW THIS UNFOLD WHERE PALM BAY WASN'T EVEN A KNOWN CITY DURING THAT. UH, SO AT ANY RATE THAT MY HEART IS TO HONOR THAT, THAT SACRIFICE, HONOR THE VALUE OF OF THEIR SACRIFICE AND AND THEN AS WE CONTINUE TO GROW AS A CITY, MAKE THAT MONUMENT AN APPROPRIATE PLACE OF REFLECTION OF THAT SACRIFICE.

REFLECTION OF ANY OTHER SACRIFICES FOR THIS GREAT CITY.

SO THAT IS THE THE HEART BEHIND THE MOTION.

AND I JUST WANTED TO GET THAT.

I KNOW I DON'T NEED A MOTION, BUT I JUST WANTED TO SEE HOW ARE WE ABLE TO DO THAT AT 1800 HOURS ON DECEMBER 16TH? TO GO. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO PUBLIC COMMENTS.

[PUBLIC COMMENTS/RESPONSES]

GOOD NIGHT, COUNCIL.

GOOD NIGHT, MR. MAYOR.

A CITY MANAGER AND STAFF.

YEAH, I'M ALL AFRAID OF GARY.

ALFIE FROM 16 TO 80 MAIN STREET.

AND THAT'S NARGES PALM BAY.

I'M HERE TONIGHT. FIRST OF ALL, I MUST COME IN THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.

THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR HAD MAKE A GREAT PRESENTATION, AND I THINK I'D HIGHLIGHT A FEW YEARS IN THE IN THE DEPARTMENT THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED AND UP TO DATE.

AND I REALLY LOVE TO HEAR THAT KIND OF THING HAPPENING IN THE CITY.

IT'S BASICALLY A COINCIDENCE BECAUSE BASED ON THE SHELTER, I WAS THINKING THAT BEING THE BEST CITY IN THE UNIVERSE AND ONE OF THE LARGEST CITY IN THE UNIVERSE, I THINK WE SHOULD FOCUS SOMETIME ABOUT A HOMELESS SHELTER.

AND AS I SAID, IT WAS LIKE A COINCIDENCE.

TONIGHT, THERE'S A LOT OF US INCLUDED SHOULD REVEAL, YOU KNOW, GOT THAT BURNED DOWN.

I LIVE MAYBE TWO BLOCKS AWAY, AND I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE THE FLAME THAT MORNING AND I TALKED TO A FEW MEMBERS, TOO.

BUT I THINK WE SHOULD CONSIDER AS A AS THE LARGEST CITY IN REWARD ERA TO PUT A HOMELESS SHELTER OR A COLD, YOU KNOW, COLD TIME SHELTER SOMEPLACE, MAYBE IN THE RURAL SECTION OF THE CITY NOT BEING THE MAIN, YOU KNOW, CENTER OF THE CITY.

SO IF THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED ONE TIME, THE OTHER THING IS THE HUGE I LOVE THE, YOU KNOW, TO FOCUS ON THE YOUTH BECAUSE THE YOUTH IS OF TODAY IS THE FUTURE OF TOMORROW AND IN ANY WAY WE CAN HELP WITH THE YOUTH, WE SHOULD FOCUS ON THAT SOMEWHAT.

THE OTHER THING I WAS THINKING OF IS THAT BAYFRONT DEVELOPMENT.

I WOULD DEFINITELY LIKE TO BE A PART OF THAT ANY TIME IT COMES ABOUT.

I GOT A LOT OF INVESTMENT IN THAT COMMUNITY AT CHARITIES PALM BAY AND I WOULD LOVE TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT.

I MUST USE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO, IF I WISH, IF I COULD, TO, YOU KNOW, ANNOUNCE A CANDIDACY. I AM A CANDIDATE FOR THE.

YEAH. SEAT FIVE.

COUNCIL MEMBER SEAT FIVE.

AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT TOO.

YOU KNOW, I TRY TO DO THE BEST I CAN AND I AM A BUSINESS PERSON IN THIS COMMUNITY FOR A LONG TIME. I THINK I GOT SOME BUSINESS KNOWLEDGE AND I WILL UTILIZE THIS, YOU KNOW, DICE.

I LOVE THE EVENTS AND HOW THE DIOCESE IS MOVING, AND I WOULD LOVE TO BE A PART OF IT.

AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE CHRISTMAS PARADE.

I I'M A PART OF IT ALSO, AND I WILL, YOU KNOW, PARTICIPATE IN THE PARADE AND.

SWEATS YOU, I'LL CONTACT YOU, I'LL BE A PART OF THAT OF KEEPING OF THAT BURN BUILDING, I PROBABLY CONTRIBUTE THE DEMOLITION FOR THAT BUILDING.

THANK YOU. GOOD NIGHT. THANK YOU.

ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK? UM, FORWARD, AND AS YOU STEP FORWARD, MADAM SHERMAN, OR AS YOU WERE, MADAM SMITH, I

[02:40:08]

NO, SIR, WE ARE ALL UP TO DATE.

THANK YOU, MA'AM. PLEASE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'M GLAD THAT I WAITED.

I WOULD BE A MS. TONIGHT IF I DID NOT GIVE A SHOUT OUT AND A THANK YOU TO OUR FIRST RESPONDERS, OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THE POLICE THAT CALLED ME AT 5:45 IN THE MORNING.

AND I DIDN'T ANSWER THE FIRST TWO CALLS, BUT THEY KEPT CALLING AND I KNEW SOMETHING WAS NOT RIGHT. DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS ON THE OTHER END.

BUT FROM THAT FIRST CALL, THEY SHOWED JUST GREAT PROFESSIONALISM AND EMPATHY AND STAYED ON THE PHONE WITH ME WHILE I GOT MY COMPOSURE TO CONTACT OTHERS THAT NEEDED TO BE CONTACTED. AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WITH THE WHISTLE, WITH US FOR TWO DAYS AND STAYED OVERNIGHT AND CAME BACK THE NEXT MORNING AND WE'RE THERE FOR ALMOST HALF THE DAY, STILL TRYING TO PUT OUT THE EMBERS IT KEPT BLAMING BACK UP. SO AGAIN, PALM BAY SHOULD BE PROUD.

I WAS PROUD TO HAVE THEM, YOU KNOW, AND TO SEE THEM THERE.

WE KNEW THAT THEY WERE DOING THEIR VERY BEST AND JUST WANT TO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SERVICE. WELL, THANK YOU.

HASHTAG PALM BAY PROUD.

THAT'S AWESOME. I LOVE IT.

ANY ANYONE ELSE WISHED TO SPEAK, COME BEFORE US AND SPEAK? SEEING, NONE. THIS MEETING IS ADJOURNED.
