[PROCLAMATIONS AND RECOGNITIONS]

[00:05:06]

I MEAN, I LOVE THE ATTENDANCE.

THIS IS OUTSTANDING.

I LOVE WHEN THE COMMUNITY COMES TOGETHER.

GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU.

GOING, I'LL START OFF WITH A PROCLAMATION FOR ONE OF OUR FIREFIGHTER RETIREES.

AND I JUST WANTED TO BEGIN THE PROCLAMATION BY CALLING UP A FEW OF THESE GENTLEMEN THAT HAVE SERVED AND DEDICATED THEIR LIVES TO OUR GREAT CITY.

AND THEY HAVE A UNIQUE PRESENTATION OF THE DIFFERENT ACTUAL LOGOS THAT WERE PART OF THE HISTORY OF THIS GREAT CITY.

AND I'D LIKE TO CALL UP BOB HOUSE.

AND AND JUST SHARE A LITTLE BIT.

18. IT'S OK FOR YOU TO COME UP HERE AND SUPPORT BOB.

COME ON UP, BROTHER. THANK YOU.

SO PALM BAY FIREFIGHTER, RETIREE BOBBY ROJAS, IT IS HEREBY RECOGNIZED BY THE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY, BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA, THAT WHEREAS PALM BAY FIREFIGHTER RETIREES HAVE EXEMPLIFIED DEDICATION AND COMMITMENT TO THE CITY OF PALM BAY THROUGHOUT THE HISTORY OF THIS GREAT CITY.

AND WHEREAS CHIEF ART FAWCETT CHIEF STEVE ABREU, FIREFIGHTER PARAMEDIC, BOBBY LOW HOUSE AND FIRE INSPECTOR BOB EVER, EVER AREA AROUND RIO, I SHOULD BE ABLE TO SAY THAT AROUND RIO. I MEAN, I DO HAVE SOME AUTHENTICITY IN ME.

BOB HORARIO, IT'S THE BOARD THAT THREW ME OFF.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN HAVE DESIGNED PALM BAY FIRE DEPARTMENT PATCHES AND LOGOS THROUGHOUT THEIR CAREERS, AND THAT'S WHAT YOU SEE HERE BEFORE YOU.

IS THAT THAT'S PART OF OUR HISTORY, RIGHT? SO AS FIREFIGHTER PARAMEDIC BOBBY ROJAS HAS GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY, BOB HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN THE DESIGN AND CREATION OF MULTIPLE PALM BAY FIRE RESCUE LOGOS AND PATCHES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE OVER 50 YEAR HISTORY OF PALM BAY FIRE RESCUE, INCLUDING THE PAINTING OF THE MURAL LOCATED FIRE STATION ONE ON PALM BAY ROAD, WHICH WILL SOON BE THE NEW FIRE STATION SEVEN.

AND I'M GOING TO INTERRUPT JUST FOR A SECOND.

WE RECENTLY DEMOLISHED FIRE STATION ONE.

AND IF IF YOU KNEW ONE OF THESE PATCHES WAS THERE WAS A MURAL AND BOB DID THAT MURAL.

AND WHEN THEY'RE DEMOLISHING THAT FIRE STATION, WHAT CAME OVER ME WAS THERE WERE SEVERAL RETIREES AND AND IT WAS AN EMOTIONAL TIME BECAUSE THAT'S THAT'S WHERE THEY SPEND THEIR LIFE PROTECTING THIS CITY.

AND IT JUST DAWNED ON ME AND IT REALLY TORE MY HEART TO TOUCH MY HEART WHEN I SAW THEY DEMOLISHED THAT MURAL.

THE MURAL THAT TOOK COUNTLESS HOURS, COUNTLESS TIME OF DEDICATION, THAT WAS DEVOTED.

THAT WAS THE PICTURE OF FIRE RESCUE IN THIS GREAT CITY.

SO I FELT I WAS COMPELLED I WAS MOVED.

ONE COULD SAY I WAS LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT TO GO AHEAD AND HONOR YOU AND HONOR YOUR COMRADES BECAUSE WHAT OCCURRED THAT DAY WAS IT WAS DESTROYED, RIGHT? BUT THE PATZ LIVES ON.

AND THAT'S WHAT TOUCHED MY HEART.

SO I WANTED TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE THIS.

WHEREAS BOB YAHYA SERVED THE CITIZENS OF PALM BAY THROUGHOUT HIS CAREER AND ALSO ORGANIZED THE FIRST LADDER CLIMB FUNDRAISER EVENT IN WHICH PALM BAY FIREFIGHTERS CLIMBED THE EQUIVALENT HEIGHT OF MOUNT EVEREST TWENTY NINE THOUSAND THIRTY TWO FEET.

YOU KNOW, HOW MANY TIMES THAT'S GOING UP AND DOWN THAT LADDER? I GOT TO TELL YOU, THAT'S A WORKOUT.

IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THEM, DO IT, I SUGGEST IT'S REALLY MOTIVATING, ENCOURAGING AS WELL.

NOW, THEREFORE, I ROB MEDINA, MAYOR OF PALM BAY, THE GREATEST CITY ON THE FACE OF THIS EARTH BY VIRTUE OF THE AUTHORITY TO SET OFFICE, DO HEREBY RECOGNIZE PALM BAY FIREFIGHTER RETIREE BOB YUHAS AND CONGRATULATE AND COMMEND HIM FOR THE MURAL.

[00:10:01]

THANK YOU, SIR.

YOU GOT YOUR HORSE DOWN, PERFECT, SO YOU MUST HAVE SOME SLOVAKIA IN YOU.

THANK YOU, EVERYBODY. THIS KIND OF CAME AS A SURPRISE TO ME, AND IT WAS STATION STATION 19, A SHIFT WE STARTED FIXING UP THE STATION IN ABOUT 1998.

WE PAINTED IT.

WE RETAILED ALL THE FLOORS.

WE DID IT ALL. WE CAME TO THE CITY AND ASKED FOR THE MONEY TO GET THE STUFF, AND WE DID IT. AND WHEN WE HAD IT ALL PAINTED A NICE GRAY.

MY MY MY BUDDY'S ON SHIFT ASKED ME IF I WOULD PUT A MURAL ON THAT BIG BLANK WALL, THE WESTERN FACING WALL ON ON STATION NINETY.

SO I CAME UP WITH THAT, AND THEN A COUPLE OF YEARS LATER, CHIEF JIMMY BARTEL CAME OUT WITH A SHIRT WITH THAT EMBLEM ON IT, AND IT WAS WE WERE ALLOWED TO WEAR IT ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AND BUT NOT DURING THE REGULAR WEEK.

AND THEN WHEN CHIEF JIM STAPLES TOOK OVER, HE ACTUALLY MADE THE PATCH AND PUT IT ON OUR REGULAR UNIFORMS AND ON ALL OF OUR FIRE ENGINES, OUR FIRE TRUCKS, THE CHIEFS VEHICLES.

IT'S PRETTY AWESOME.

AND I NEVER EXPECTED ANY OF THAT.

BUT I THANK YOU SO MUCH, MAYOR.

AND THANKS AGAIN FOR GETTING MY NAME.

SO GOOD. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A PICTURE.

OH, OKAY. OVER HERE.

HEY, GUYS, I WANT YOU ALL IN THIS PICTURE.

THIS IS ALL ABOUT BOB, BUT THIS IS ALSO ABOUT THE RETIREES THAT DEDICATED THEIR LIVES TO THIS GREAT CITY 50 YEARS.

SO IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT, GUYS READY.

[00:15:04]

TIMES HAVE CHANGED.

THERE USED TO BE A TIME WHEN I WAS LITTLE.

THERE WAS ALWAYS BOOKS IN THE HOUSE, AND PEOPLE AND PARENTS READ TO CHILDREN AND EVERYONE WAS INVOLVED IN THE EDUCATION PROCESS OF KIDS.

BUT WE'VE CHANGED.

AND ALL ACROSS BREVARD COUNTY.

THERE ARE CHILDREN WHO ARE NOT BEING READ TO.

THE PARENTS GRANDPARENTS DON'T HAVE THE TIME BECAUSE THEY'RE WORKING TWO OR THREE JOBS.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS HAVE CHANGED, AND MOBILE DEVICES AND COMPUTERS HAVE BECOME BABYSITTERS. RATHER THAN SPENDING TIME WITH THEIR CHILDREN.

SO FOR 25, FIVE YEARS NOW, ROLLING READERS HAS PAIRED LOVING DEDICATED.

VOLUNTEERS TO GO INTO CLASSROOMS FROM NORTH COUNTY TO SOUTH COUNTY TO READ TO CHILDREN IN THEIR CLASSROOMS. WE HAVE SERVED IN OUR 20 FIVE YEAR HISTORY.

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND CHILDREN THAT WE HAVE READ TO AND EVERY KID THAT IS A PART OF OUR PROGRAM, WE GIVE THEM A FREE BOOK HARDBACK BOOK FOR THEM TO GO IN AND AND TAKE IT HOME AND AND READ IT.

AND WE PUT THEIR NAMES IN IT AND THE NAME OF THEIR READER.

AND WE HAVE CREATED A COMMUNITY OF READERS.

AND MANY KIDS THAT WE'VE STARTED OUT WITH TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO, THEY ARE NOW AUTHORS, WE WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO INSTILL THE LOVE OF READING SO MUCH THAT THEY'RE WRITING THEIR OWN BOOKS. RECENTLY, WE JUST IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS, WE CONDUCTED A YOUNG AUTHORS WRITING COMPETITION WHEREBY WE HAVE SELECTED THREE WINNERS AND THOSE THREE WINNERS WILL RECEIVE FLORIDA PREPAID SCHOLARSHIPS WHILE THEY ARE IN AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

THEY HAVE THEY THEY ARE RECEIVING FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS, TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS AND ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS WITH THEIR NAME ON IT, WAITING FOR THEM WHEN THEY GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL. AND I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I HAD FIVE TO GO THROUGH COLLEGE.

FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS GOES A LONG WAY.

BUT THE REALITY IS IS THAT THERE IS A IS A GREAT NEED.

CHILDREN ARE FALLING THROUGH THE CRACKS.

LIVES ARE BEING OBLITERATED BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO READ.

AND NOW, WITH THE ADVENT OF COVID AND SCHOOLS CLOSING AND OPENING, OUR CHILDREN ARE FURTHER BEHIND THAN EVER BEFORE.

SO WE WE HAVE REDEDICATED OURSELVES AND WE'RE REVAMPING TO BE ABLE TO SERVE FOR ANOTHER 25 YEARS OF BEING ABLE TO SERVE THE CHILDREN OF BOVARD COUNTY, AND WE'RE SO APPRECIATIVE OF THE RELATIONSHIP THAT WE HAVE HAD HISTORICALLY WITH THE CITY OF PALM BAY.

OUR READERS HAVE INFILTRATED ALL OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND WE SERVE DILIGENTLY AND FAITHFULLY AND WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR MORE PEOPLE.

IF YOU'VE GOT AN HOUR, THE SPIN READING TO A CLASSROOM OF OF HUNGRY KIDS, PLEASE GO TO OUR WEBSITE, ROLLING READERS SPACE COAST AND FILL OUT THE.

THE VOLUNTEER FORM, YOU WILL, IF I MADE EARTH TODAY, SAID, SAY THIS, YOU WILL BE TREMENDOUSLY BLESSED AND UPLIFTED BY WHAT YOU DEPOSITED INTO THE LIFE OF SOME YOUNG KIDS.

SO WE THANK YOU AGAIN.

OH, AND AND IN ABOUT THREE IN ABOUT TWO AND A HALF MONTHS, WE ARE CELEBRATING OUR TWENTY FIFTH ANNIVERSARY.

WE HAVE STARTED AN ANNUAL EVENT WHEN WE INVITE YOU.

IT'S AN OUTDOOR MUSIC FESTIVAL RIGHT ON THE WATERFRONT AT KOKO PARK.

IT'S CALLED THE SPACE COAST RIVER JAM, AND WE WILL BE AWARDING THOSE KIDS THAT THAT THAT

[00:20:06]

WE WILL BE AWARDING THEM THAT SCHOLARSHIP IN FRONT OF ALL OF YOUR SMILING FACES.

SO WE THANK YOU.

THANK YOU AGAIN. WE APPRECIATE.

AND WITH.

MR. PAYNE. I JUST WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SAY THANK YOU FOR EMPOWERING OUR YOUTH, BECAUSE WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS CREATING LEADERS FOR OUR FUTURE.

YOU ARE EMPOWERING THEIR FUTURE AND YOU'RE BLESSING OUR FUTURE.

SO GOD BLESS YOUR HANDS AND MAY THEY CONTINUE TO PROSPER.

OUR NEXT PROCLAMATION IS REGARDING HEMOPHILIA AND BLEEDING DISORDER AWARENESS MONTH, AND I'M GOING TO CALL UP AND I HOPE TO GET THIS NAME RIGHT.

SAMANTHA NAZARIO.

IT IS HEREBY PROCLAIMED BY THE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY, BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA, WHEREAS HEMOPHILIA IS A RARE DISORDER IN WHICH YOUR BLOOD DOESN'T CLOT NORMALLY BECAUSE IT LACKS SUFFICIENT BLOOD CLOTTING PROTEINS, CLOTTING FACTORS AND WHEREAS IF YOU HAVE HEMOPHILIA, YOU MAY BLEED FOR A LONGER TIME AFTER AN INJURY THAN YOU WOULD IF YOU IF YOUR BLOOD CLOTTING. NORMALLY CAUSING WEAKNESS OF THE VOLUNTARY MUSCLES.

WHEREAS SYMPTOMS OF HEMOPHILIA MAY INCLUDE UNEXPLAINED AND EXCESSIVE BLEEDING, LARGE AND DEEP BRUISES.

PAIN IN YOUR JOINTS AND NOSEBLEEDS WITHOUT A KNOWN CAUSE.

AND WHEREAS THE BLEEDING DISORDERS COALITION OF FLORIDA IS AN ADVOCACY ORGANIZATION FOUNDED BY THE HEMOPHILIA FOUNDATION OF GREATER FLORIDA AND THE FLORIDA HEMOPHILIA ASSOCIATION TO BE THE VOICE OF THE FLORIDA BLEEDING DISORDERS COMMUNITY.

AND WHEREAS THE BLEEDING DISORDERS COALITION OF FLORIDA HAS BEEN SURFACING THE BLEEDING DISORDERS OF THAT COMMUNITY IMPROVE THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE BY OFFERING PROGRAMS AND SERVICES SUCH AS EMERGENCY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, AS WELL AS EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS TO SUPPORT HEALTHIER AND MORE INDEPENDENT LIVES.

NOW, THEREFORE, IRA MEDINA, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY, THE GREATEST CITY ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH BY VIRTUE OF THE AUTHORITY OF SET OFFICE, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM MARCH 22ND AS HEMOPHILIA AND BLEEDING DISORDER AWARENESS MONTH IN THE CITY OF PALM BAY, AND EXPRESSED THE HOPE THAT THIS SPECIAL OBSERVANCE WILL HELP BRING AWARENESS TO THE COMMUNITY ABOUT BLEEDING DISORDERS AND WITNESS WEAR HEREOF.

I HEAR ONSET IN MY HAND AND CAUSE THE SEAL OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY TO BE A FIX THIS THIRD DAY OF MARCH TWO THOUSAND TWENTY TWO.

CONGRATULATIONS, MA'AM.

THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR MEDINA AND COUNCIL.

THIS IS OUR THIRD YEAR OF THIS PROCLAMATION AND WE REALLY ARE VERY GRATEFUL FOR THIS PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY.

MY NAME IS SAMANTHA NAZARIO.

I AM THE TWENTY NATIONAL TWENTY TWENTY ONE ADVOCATE OF THE YEAR FOR THE NATIONAL HEMOPHILIA FOUNDATION.

I'M ALSO AN AMBASSADOR FOR THE BLEEDING DISORDER COALITION OF FLORIDA, AND HE HAS A LITTLE BACKGROUND SO THAT, YOU KNOW, TYLER, MY SON WAS DIAGNOSED AT AGE SIX WITH VON GILLIBRAND'S DISEASE.

VON WILLEBRAND DISEASE IS A LACK OF YVONNE GILLIBRAND'S PROTEIN, SO HE HAS UNEXPLAINED NOSEBLEEDS, BRUISING, MUSCLE PAINS, GROWING PAINS.

IT'S BEEN AN ADVENTURE.

TO TOP IT OFF HAS BEEN A VERY COSTLY ADVENTURE.

ONE MONTH'S WORTH OF TREATMENT COULD COST ANYWHERE FROM THIRTY EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS PER DOSE TO.

IF YOU NEED IT EVERY SINGLE WEEK, YOU'RE LOOKING AT A HUNDRED THOUSAND A MONTH.

OUR KIDS MEDICATIONS WITHOUT AN INCIDENT IS UPWARDS OF HALF A MILLION DOLLARS TO A

[00:25:01]

THERE IS NO GENERIC AND THERE IS NO STEP THERAPY WHEN IT COMES TO BLEEDING DISORDERS.

A LITTLE BIT OF A HISTORY FOR YOU ON BLEEDING DISORDERS.

BACK IN THE 1990S, DURING THE HEIGHT OF THE HEIGHT OF THE AIDS CRISIS.

NINETEEN THOUSAND HEMOPHILIACS TOOK ON THE BLEED THE BLOOD PRODUCT INDUSTRY.

WE HAD LOST AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF BLEEDING DISORDER PATIENTS DUE TO TAINTED BLOOD BECAUSE OF HIV AND HEPATITIS AND OTHER THINGS.

THOSE 19000 PEOPLE CHANGED THE LAW FOR THE ENTIRE BLOOD INDUSTRY AROUND THE WORLD.

IT'S CALLED THE RICKY RAY LAW THAT MADE THE BLOOD INDUSTRY HAVE TO TEST ALL BLOOD PRODUCTS BEFORE THEY'RE GIVEN TO YOU, MEANING YOUR BLOOD, YOUR PLASMA, WHICH ANY OF YOU COULD HAVE A SURGERY AND NEED EITHER OF THESE PRODUCTS.

OUR FIGHT IS LONG GOING.

IT'S NEVER GOING TO STOP. WE'RE STILL FIGHTING FOR MEDICAID EXPANSION HERE IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA. WE'RE FIGHTING FOR ACCUMULATOR ADJUSTER BILLS IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

MY MISSION IS TO HAVE YOU LEAVE HERE TODAY KNOWING SOMETHING YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHEN YOU CAME IN. LOOK UP HEMOPHILIA FOUNDATION OF GREATER FLORIDA.

LOOK UP FLORIDA HEMOPHILIA ASSOCIATION.

WE HAVE WALKS, WE DO A LOT OF COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING THIS PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY OF PALM BAY.

AND I'D LIKE TO FORMALLY ANNOUNCE THAT BREVARD COUNTY WILL BE MAKING HISTORY AS OF NEXT TUESDAY. WE WILL BE THE FIRST SCHOOL DISTRICT TO EVER RECOGNIZE A BLEEDING DISORDER AWARENESS AND PROCLAIM MARCH IS BLEEDING DISORDER AWARENESS MONTH IN THE NATION.

SO? THAT MAKES ME VERY HAPPY AND SUPER PROUD THAT I LIVE IN A PLACE THAT LEADS BY EXAMPLE AND WE'RE WILLING TO TAKE ON HARD THINGS THAT MOST PLACES WON'T TAKE ON ME BECAUSE WE'RE STILL KIND OF SMALL, SO IT STILL GIVES US THAT HOMEY FEELING THAT WE MAY NOT HAVE SOMEWHERE ELSE. BUT I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR OUR CONTINUED PARTNERSHIP WITH THE BOARD OF EDUCATION WITH THE CITY OF PALM BAY AND THE COUNTY OF BOVARD.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME TODAY.

THAT'S WHY WE'RE GOING TO TAG TEAM ON THIS AND.

SO, BUT I KNEW THAT I COULD PRONOUNCE YOUR NAME A LITTLE BETTER THAN THAN DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON PROCUREMENT MONTH.

THANK YOU. WHAT AN AMAZING INTRODUCTION FROM YOU BOTH, AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

AND WE'RE AN AMAZING COMPANY TONIGHT WITH REALLY PALM BAY PROUD PROCLAMATIONS.

BEFORE I DO ANYTHING ELSE, I WANT TO THANK MY INCREDIBLE TEAM, THREE OF WHOM ARE HERE WITH ME SUSAN BLAIR, BONNIE HALL AND CHELSEA MARTIN.

MY TEAM ARE SELFLESSLY COMMITTED TO THE CITY AND I AM VERY, VERY PROUD OF THE WORK THAT THEY DO. PROCUREMENT MONTH PROVIDES US A MOMENT TO HELP EDUCATE OUR RESIDENTS AND THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE WORK THAT WE DO THROUGH COMPETITIVE BIDS, QUOTES AND PROPOSALS.

WE SUPPORT OUR OTHER FELLOW CITY DEPARTMENTS IN SERVING OUR CITIZENS.

HERE ARE SOME OF THE PROJECTS WE HELPED DELIVER FOR TWENTY TWENTY ONE.

WE HAD GRANT FUNDED SOLICITATIONS LIKE THE TURKEY CREEK FEASIBILITY STUDY, SCUBA EQUIPMENT FOR THE PD DOVE TEAM AND AS THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED DEMOLITION OF FIRE STATION ONE. WE SOLICITED FOR EMPLOYEE BENEFITS FOR VISION HEARING AND EAP NINE PLAYGROUND REPLACEMENTS, ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR FACILITIES AND PUBLIC WORKS, FEDERAL LOBBYIST SERVICES AND OVER $11 MILLION IN CULVERT PIPE REPLACEMENTS AND ROAD BOND PROGRAM CONTRACTS.

AND MOST PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE WE ALSO GENERATE REVENUE.

WE SELL CITY SURPLUS PROPERTY AND COLLECT REBATES.

AND LAST YEAR WE GENERATED OVER THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS IN REVENUE, WHICH IS MORE THAN HALF OF OUR DEPARTMENT BUDGET.

AT LAST YEAR WAS ALL ABOUT MAKING IT EASIER FOR OUR VENDORS TO DO BUSINESS WITH THE CITY.

THEY ARE OUR CUSTOMERS AND THEY ARE OUR PARTNERS.

WE UPDATED OUR WEBSITE, WE ADDED SOME FAQS.

WE LAUNCHED A FIVE PART VIDEO SERIES ON HOW TO DO BUSINESS WITH THE CITY.

WE LAUNCHED A PUBLIC FACING CONTRACT DATABASE, WHICH PROVIDES EVEN MORE TRANSPARENCY FOR THE PUBLIC THROUGH VENDOR LINK, WHICH IS OUR SOLICITATION SERVICE.

I'M LOOKING AT YOU, PASTOR, WHICH IS R W E FREE TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO REGISTER.

WE ANNOUNCED IT DOING BUSINESS WITH THE CITY WEBINAR.

WE HAD NEVER DONE THIS WEBINAR BEFORE.

IN THE FIRST HOUR WE HAD TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY VENDORS REGISTER.

I LOOK FORWARD TO HOSTING MORE EVENTS FOR VENDORS LATER THIS YEAR WITH MY TEAM.

PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE PALM BAY FLORIDA PROCUREMENT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT WHAT WE DO.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE RECOGNITION.

THANK YOU TO THE MAYOR, TO COUNCIL, TO OUR CITY MANAGER AND TO ALL OF OUR FELLOW DEPARTMENTS FOR THEIR ENDURING SUPPORT.

MADAME SHERMAN, I WANT YOU TO TAKE NOTE, SHE SAID THEY GENERATED MORE THAN HALF OF THEIR BUDGET.

HEALTH CARE. SIR.

SO NOW WE'RE ON PRESENTATIONS.

[PRESENTATIONS]

YES, THANK YOU, MAYOR. PREVIOUSLY, COUNCIL HAD ASKED US TO BEGIN TO BRING DEPARTMENT'S PRESENTATIONS FORWARD FOR JUST GENERAL LIKE HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW OF WHAT'S HAPPENING IN EACH DEPARTMENT. SO TONIGHT WE ACTUALLY HAVE THREE DEPARTMENTS THAT WILL BE PRESENTING.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A SORT OF A COMBINED PRESENTATION.

WE'LL START WITH NANCY BUNTU, OUR COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR.

SHE WILL BE FOLLOWED BY OUR GROWTH MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR, ALEXANDRA BERNARD.

AND CLOSING US OUT WILL BE OUR BUILDING DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR, VALENTINO PEREZ.

SO I'LL ASK THEM TO GO AHEAD AND COME ON UP AND WE'LL GET THAT STARTED FOR YOU.

THANK YOU, MA'AM. CERTAINLY.

[00:35:10]

I'M NANCY BOND, COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR.

YEAH. THE MISSION OF THE DEPARTMENT IS TO ADMINISTER PROGRAMS AND SERVICES IMPACTING THE LOCAL BUSINESSES, COMMUNITY AND AND ALSO THE COMMUNITY.

WE ALSO ADMINISTER FEDERAL AND STATE GRANTS TO LOW AND MODERATE INCOME RESIDENTS IN THE COMMUNITY. THERE ARE TWO DIVISIONS IN THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.

ONE IS THE OFFICE OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

THEY ARE IN CHARGE OF ATTRACTING NEW BUSINESSES, RETAINING EXISTING BUSINESSES.

THEY ALSO OVERSEE THE BAYFRONT CRA BUSINESS, TAX RECEIPTS, LEAN SEARCHES, PASSPORTS AND FIRE ALARM PAYMENTS THROUGH OUR REVENUE SECTION.

THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIVISION OVERSEES THE ENTITLEMENT GRANTS.

THOSE ARE OUR FEDERAL AND STATE GRANTS, CDBG, HOME AND SHIP, AND THEN THEY ALSO ADMINISTER ANY OF THE ADDITIONAL FUNDING THAT WE HAVE, WHICH WOULD BE CDBG, CV1, CDBG SAVE, THREE NEIGHBORHOOD STABILIZATION PROGRAM AND ANY OTHER ENTITLEMENT GRANTS TO THE CITY RECEIVES.

SO THESE ARE THE MIGHTY WOMEN IN THE SAID DEPARTMENT.

THERE ARE EIGHT STAFF PERSONS PLUS ME, AND THEN THERE ARE TWO VACANT POSITIONS CURRENTLY HOUSING. THERE IS A SENIOR HOUSING SPECIALIST, VACANT POSITION AND ALSO IN THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.

WITH THE REORGANIZATION OF THE REVENUE, WE HAVE CHANGED THAT POSITION TO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIVISION MANAGER, WHICH IS STILL OPEN.

SO HIGHLIGHTS FOR FISCAL YEAR TWENTY TWENTY ONE IN OUR OFFICE OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED THE COMMUNITY PROPERTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM THAT ALLOWS BUSINESS OWNERS WITH A 50 50 MATCH TO PROVIDE TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS IN ASSISTANCE, USING THE GENERAL FUND MONIES TO ALSO BE ABLE TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS TO THEIR FACADE AND TO THEIR BUSINESS. A LOT OF THAT WAS PREDICATED ON COVID AND THE DIFFERENT CHANGES THAT THE BUSINESSES HAD TO MAKE IN ORDER TO ADJUST WITH THAT.

THE CITY COUNCIL ALSO REVISED THE AD VALOREM TAX ABATEMENT PROGRAM THAT ALLOWS THE CITY COUNCIL TO PROVIDE AN ABATEMENT FOR THE PROPERTY TAXES AND ALSO THE INTANGIBLE TAXES THAT THE BUSINESSES HAVE TO PAY WHEN THEY COME INTO THE CITY.

SO IT CAN ALSO BE FOR AN EXPANSION OR ALSO NEW CONSTRUCTION TO HELP ENTICE BUSINESSES INTO THE CITY. THE CITY COUNCIL ALSO ESTABLISHED A BUILDING PERMIT FEE REBATE PROGRAM FOR NEW COMMERCIAL GIVES THE NEW COMMERCIAL BUSINESSES AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET A REBATE ON THEIR COMMERCIAL BUILDING PERMITS.

THE BAYFRONT CIARA COMPLETED THE SALE OF PELICAN HARBOR MARINA.

THAT'S A ONE POINT SEVEN MILLION SALE AND ALLOWS FOR SOME DEVELOPMENT INTO THE PUBLIC, INTO THE MARINA.

AND SO WE'RE HOPING THAT SPURS RESTAURANTS AND OTHER BUSINESSES.

IN ADDITION, LIKE I PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, WE DID A REORGANIZATION.

WE MOVED THE REVENUE DIVISION INTO THIS FROM FINANCE INTO SAID.

AND THAT TAKES ON BUSINESS TAX RECEIPTS, LEAN SEARCHES, PASSPORTS AND OTHER SIMILAR FUNCTIONS. UM, SO THE CITY HAS APPROXIMATELY TWO THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED AND FIFTY ONE REGISTERED BUSINESSES IN PALM BAY.

WE ALSO HAVE BEEN VERY BUSY IN OUR LANE SEARCHES.

SIX THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED AND SIXTY ONE LANE SEARCHES LAST YEAR.

WE HAVE CONTRACTED JUST RECENTLY, MARCH 1ST WITH ORANGE DATA, SO WE ARE SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THAT. THEY PROVIDE WHERE WE ARE PROVIDING SIX DAY TURNAROUND SERVICES.

THEY ACTUALLY PROVIDE SAME DAY OR NEXT DAY SERVICES.

AND SO THE TITLE COMPANIES HAVE BEEN VERY EXCITED.

THEY WORK WITH TWENTY NINE OTHER JURISDICTIONS THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

AND SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED TO HAVE THEM ON BOARD.

IT'S VERY DIFFICULT WHEN THERE'S ONE PERSON DOING IT IF SHE'S ON VACATION OR ANYTHING HAPPENS. SHE ALSO DOES TAX STATE SALES AND HELPS WITH AS A BACKUP TO THE FRONT COUNTER.

AND SO HAVING A TEAM NOW THROUGH ORANGE DATA, WE'RE ABLE TO PROVIDE A MORE EFFICIENT SERVICE TO TO OUR CUSTOMERS.

SO AS I MENTIONED, OUR AD VALOREM TAX ABATEMENT PROGRAM, THERE'S CURRENTLY TWO BUSINESSES THAT ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THAT MIDWEST DENTAL ARTS AND L3 HARRIS.

OUR HOUSING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIVISION, AS I MENTIONED, THERE ARE THREE ENTITLEMENT GRANTS THE CITY IS ELIGIBLE FOR, INCLUDING ADDITIONAL FUNDING, WHICH WE GOT THROUGH OUR CARES FUNDING.

WE WORK WITH HABITAT FOR HUMANITY AND THAT'S ONE OF THE HOUSES THEY HAVE UNDER CONSTRUCTION AT FIELDS' AVENUE.

SO THIS IS THE NUMBERS THE CITY TOTAL RECEIVES OUR ALLOCATION FOR FISCAL YEAR TWENTY

[00:40:04]

IN ADDITION, WITH OUR CDBG, CV AND CV THREE AND SP FUNDS, WE HAVE A TOTAL OF SEVEN POINT TWO MILLION DOLLARS THAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE TO UTILIZE FOR OUR LOW INCOME RESIDENTS.

ALL WITH A STAFF OF THREE, SO THEY'RE DOING A GREAT JOB.

THIS IS JUST SOME OF THE PICTURES THAT WE HAVE.

THIS IS THE FIRE STATION AND ALSO THE SENIOR CENTER.

WE PROVIDE FUNDING FOR PUBLIC SERVICES.

WE PROVIDE FUNDING FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION, HOUSING, HOUSING REPAIR, WATER SEWER CONNECTION FEES, DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS, A WHOLE LIST OF THINGS THAT WE CAN PROVIDE THROUGH THOSE GRANT FUNDS. THEY'RE VERY VALUABLE TO US.

AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MA'AM.

DEPUTY MAYOR JOHN, THANK YOU, MAYOR, AND THANK YOU, NANCY, FOR EVERYTHING YOU AND THE TEAM DO. Y'ALL ARE SMALL BUT MIGHTY.

YOU SAW THE TEAM. Y'ALL GET A LOT DONE AND I APPRECIATE IT.

THESE THREE PROGRAMS THAT KEEP THE AV T AND THE BUILDING PERMIT FEE REBATE PROGRAM, THEY'RE RELATIVELY NEW.

HAS ANYBODY UTILIZED ANY OF THE THREE PROGRAMS YET? THE ADT, THERE'S THE TWO L3 HARRIS AND MIDLAND FLOOR MID MIDWEST DENTAL.

THERE ARE OTHER ONES THAT HAVE IN THE PAST, BUT THEY USUALLY HAVE A CERTAIN TIME FRAME WHERE THEY CAN GET THE AD VALOREM TAX ABATEMENT.

THE CPAP, WE'VE HAD SOME APPLICATIONS OUT, BUT WE'RE ACTUALLY DOING.

WE'RE WORKING ON A MAIL OUT SO THAT WE ACTUALLY BECAUSE WE'VE DONE ALL OF THE ADVERTISEMENT, BUT WE'VE ONLY GOTTEN TWO INQUIRIES INTO IT.

SO WE'RE JUST GOING TO MAIL OUT TO THOSE SPECIFIC BUSINESSES ON THOSE LOCATIONS AND SEE IF WE CAN GET A GREATER OUTREACH ON THAT.

THANK YOU. MAYOR NANCY, AGAIN, YOU KNOW, THANK YOU.

GREAT PRESENTATION BESIDES SHORT BUT SHORT AND SWEET.

A LOT OF GREAT INFORMATION.

THE DUO APPRECIATE IT.

A COUPLE OF THINGS COUPLE WILL HIGHLIGHT.

I'M VERY PLEASED. NUMBER ONE, THE FACT THAT WE HAVE A COMPANY NOW THAT WOULD HELP IN THAT AREA, I CAN TELL YOU WE HAVE A VERY ACTIVE TITLE COMPANY IN OUR COMMUNITY AT SEVERAL TIMES REACH OUT TO ME AND FOR THAT VERY REASON.

BUT I DO, IN FACT, APPRECIATE THAT THE FACT THAT WE'RE PUTTING BRINGING SOLUTION TO THAT POTENTIAL PROBLEM. SO I APPRECIATE THAT COULD IS THERE.

WE'RE QUESTIONED IN REGARDS OF ATTRACTING NEW BUSINESSES.

CAN YOU OR IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE NUMBER, THAT'S FINE.

HOW MANY BUSINESSES IN FISCAL YEAR 2020, 2020 2021 DID THE BUSINESS ACQUIRE? I MEAN, WITH THE CITY ACQUIRED, I CAN'T GIVE YOU THE EXACT NUMBER BECAUSE I STARTED JUNE 1ST OF TWENTY TWENTY ONE, SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE I STARTED, BUT WE HAVE BEEN ACTIVELY PURSUING BUSINESSES AS THEY COME ALONG.

WHETHER WE FIND A LOCATION THAT MAYBE MIGHT SUIT SOMEONE, WE REACH OUT TO THEM.

WE ALSO GO TO CONFERENCES AND TRY TO PROMOTE PALM BAY AND AND JUST BRING AS MANY BUSINESSES AS WE CAN TO THE TO THE CITY MANUFACTURING BUSINESSES.

A LOT OF THEM, WHAT THEY SAY TO US IS THE LAND.

THEY WANT A LOCATION ON I-95 AND THEN ALSO THE LAND PRICES THAT THEY HAVE TO LOOK AT.

SO THESE ARE SOME OF THE EXPRESSED INTEREST, THE FACT THAT SOME OF THE CHANGES THAT COUNCIL APPROVED THE LAST THE LAST YEAR.

OH, ABSOLUTELY, YES.

YEAH, I THINK ALSO WE'RE WORKING WITH WE WANT TO WORK WITH GROWTH MANAGEMENT TO MAYBE CHANGE SOME OF THE ZONING.

I THINK IF WE HAD A LITTLE BIT MORE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL HEAVY INDUSTRIAL USES THAT MAY HELP SPUR SOME DEVELOPMENT AS WELL.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I WAS WANTING TO WORK WITH GROWTH MANAGEMENT ONCE ONCE THEY GOT STAFFED UP. I THINK THAT WOULD BE VERY NEXT.

SO YES, AND THAT'S ALL SO GREAT.

GREAT SEGUE BECAUSE WE HAVE A GENTLEMAN HERE IS GOING TO GIVE US AN UPDATE ABOUT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. SO EXCITED, EXCITED.

WE'LL HAVE A LOT OF GREAT THINGS GOING.

YES, YEAH. ONE OF THE THINGS THROUGH THAT VISIONING PLAN, WE IDENTIFIED THAT SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT OF THE RESIDENTS OF PALM BAY ACTUALLY COMMUTE OUT, AND YOU EXPERIENCE THAT A LOT WHEN YOU SEE MOST OF THE TRAFFIC IS GOING OUT IN THE MORNING COMING IN.

AND SO WE WOULD REALLY LOVE TO SEE THAT NUMBER CHANGE TO WHERE PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY WORKING IN PALM BAY AND LIVING IN PALM BAY, SO THEY HAVE TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THAT.

WE HAVE TO PROVIDE THOSE JOBS FOR THEM.

AND THEN IN ADDITION, YOU WOULD ACTUALLY GET MORE SIT DOWN RESTAURANTS IF YOU HAD THE PEOPLE THAT WERE HERE FOR LUNCH, IF THEY'RE ONLY RELYING ON DINNER TRAFFIC AND WE CAN TRAFFIC. THAT'S WHY A LOT OF YOUR WE HAVE A LOT MORE FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS VERSUS YOUR RESTAURANTS THAT ARE ALONG HAMMOCK LANDING SO THAT THAT WOULD SPUR HAVING THOSE JOBS HERE THAT WOULD ACTUALLY SPUR MORE OF YOUR LARGER RESTAURANTS.

[00:45:03]

ONCE AGAIN, DID A GREAT JOB, APPRECIATE IT.

AND COUNCILMAN FELIX TOOK A LOT OF MY QUESTIONS.

I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU.

BUT. THE MAIN THING I WANT TO.

SUPPRESS THIS COUNCIL WE TRY TO PROMOTE.

GROWTH, BUSINESS GROWTH, AND WE'VE BEEN SINCE WE TOOK THE DIETS, WE'VE BEEN WORKING REAL HARD. THE MAYOR, WITH HIS BUSINESS CHALLENGED AND US, YOU KNOW, PUTTING FORTH SOME OF THE THINGS THAT YOU EXPRESSED, BUT.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUTURE IS GOING TO BE WHEN IT COMES TO THE ECONOMY.

WHAT IS WHAT SHOULD WE BE? WHAT IS THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY IS THINKING AS FAR AS? YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE ARE IN COMPETITION WITH OTHER CITIES, EVEN THE CITIES IN BREVARD COUNTY. I GOT A CALL THE OTHER DAY FROM MY SISTER IN FORT LAUDERDALE.

SHE'S ASKING ME, RANDY, YOU KNOW, ANY ENGINEERS? THAT COULD APPLY FOR A JOB, I SAID, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? BARRIER ISLANDS, HIRING ENGINEERS, I'M LIKE, I'M IN PALM BAY.

I'M NOT GOING TO SEND SOMEBODY TO MERRITT ISLAND TO GET HOT IF THEY COME HERE.

YOU KNOW, YEAH, I'M GOING TO KNOCK ON THE DOOR.

SO WHAT WE SHOULD BE FOCUSING ON? HOW CAN WE FOUND FINE TUNE? WHAT ARE WE DOING TO ATTRACT BUSINESS, TO OPEN DOORS AND PALM BAY? BECAUSE I THINK WE GOT THE POPULATION? MM HMM. WE GOT THE LAND.

WHAT DO YOU SEE TO TAKE OVER THIS DEPARTMENT? WHERE WHERE ARE WE GOING AND WHAT WE NEED TO FOCUS ON, WHERE WE HOW WE NEED TO GET? I'LL GIVE YOU THE SHORT ANSWER, BECAUSE I COULD PROBABLY GO ON ALL NIGHT IN THE REST OF THE PEOPLE BEHIND ME, WOULD WE NOT BE HAPPY? BUT I THINK THAT I REALLY THINK COMING FROM OTHER MUNICIPALITIES, I WORK FOR THE CITY OF TAIZ, ONE CITY OF COCOA, AND I REALLY THINK THAT THERE.

I MENTIONED IT WHEN I MET WITH VICE MAYOR JOHNSON.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE ZONING MAP, IT'S YELLOW, IT'S MOSTLY YELLOW AND THERE IS A VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE OF YOUR INDUSTRIAL, LIGHT, INDUSTRIAL, HEAVY INDUSTRIAL.

SO I REALLY THINK THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT SOME OF OUR ZONING LAWS IN.

AND ALTHOUGH WE ARE DEEMED A BEDROOM COMMUNITY, THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN WE HAVE TO BE A BEDROOM COMMUNITY. WHEN YOU LOOK AT PORT ST.

LUCIE, THERE ARE A GDC COMMUNITY JUST AS WELL, AND IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THERE IN PORT ST. LUCIE THAN IT IS HERE.

SO BEING ABLE TO BRING THOSE MANUFACTURING JOBS, WHETHER IT'S A DISTRIBUTION CENTER, GUN MANUFACTURER, MEDICAL FACILITIES, IT BRINGS THE PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY STAY HERE AND THEY WORK HERE, WHICH MEANS THEY'RE GOING TO GO SOMEWHERE FOR LUNCH, WHICH MEANS YOU'RE GOING TO NOW HAVE MORE RESTAURANTS VERSUS THE FAST FOOD THAT WE HAVE.

SO WE'RE ALSO COMPETING WITH DIFFERENT STATES.

WE ACTUALLY GET LEADS FROM EDC AND THERE WAS ONE THAT CAME IN AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO TEXAS.

TEXAS HAS BEEN VERY AGGRESSIVE, ESPECIALLY EVEN IN THE SPACE INDUSTRY, SO THEIR INCENTIVES ARE ACTUALLY DRIVING A LOT OF THE THE LARGER COMPANIES TO TEXAS INSTEAD.

SO IT'S NOT EVEN JUST A FLORIDA ISSUE, IT'S IT'S STATEWIDE.

YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT COMPANIES ARE GOING TO DIFFERENT STATES THAT ARE OFFERING THOSE INCENTIVES. BUT I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE US LOOK AT OUR DIFFERENT ZONING LAWS AND BEING ABLE TO CHANGE THOSE SO THAT WE ACTUALLY CAN CAN LIKE, ESPECIALLY OUR MAJOR CORRIDORS.

EVEN I'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH SUZANNE ABOUT THE COMPOUND.

I MEAN, THERE IS THAT OPPORTUNITY THAT A LARGE ENOUGH COMPANY THAT WANTS TO GO THERE, BRP IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE.

THEY WENT INTO THE COMPOUND TO THE EDGE OF THE COMPOUND, WHERE YOU CAN GET ANOTHER BUSINESS RIGHT THERE AT THE EDGE OF THE COMPOUND, AND THEN IT SLOWLY STARTS TO DEVELOP FPL SOLAR ENERGY.

YOU KNOW, MAYBE THEY WANT TO GO INTO THE COMPOUND AND THAT'S HOW WE GET OUR ELECTRIC THERE. YOU KNOW, WITH THE ST.

JOHN'S HERITAGE PARKWAY, THAT MAY OPEN UP SOME AVENUES FOR US.

SO BECAUSE YOU KNOW, THE MORE BUSINESS WE HAVE, THE LESS TAXES WE PUT ON RESIDENTS.

AND THAT'S THAT'S MY GOAL IS TO LOWER THROUGH GROWING OUR COMMERCIAL GROWTH.

THERE WAS ONE BUILDING A DISTRIBUTION CENTER.

IT BRINGS ONE POINT TWO MILLION DOLLARS IN TAXES.

IMAGINE HOW MANY HOUSES YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO APPROVE IN ORDER TO GET THAT ONE POINT TWO MILLION DOLLARS IN PROPERTY TAXES OFF OF ONE BUILDING.

WE CAN'T SUSTAIN OUR BUDGET BY BUILDING MORE HOUSES, AND I WOULD LIKE TO BUILD MORE COMMERCIAL BUSINESS TRACK HERE AND TAKE THE BUDGET OFF TO OUR RESIDENTS.

SO YEAH, THAT'S MY CONCERN.

THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO.

I APPRECIATE. SO, NANCY, I JUST WANTED TO ECHO AND I THINK THIS COUNCIL AS A WHOLE HAS

[00:50:05]

WE'RE COMPETING HERE LOCALLY, BUT NO, WE'RE COMPETING GLOBALLY, WE'RE COMPETING NATIONWIDE, WE'RE LOSING INDUSTRY TO TO TEXAS, RIGHT? AND AND WE HAVE TO LOOK WITHIN OURSELVES, HOW CAN WE BRING THOSE JOBS HERE? BECAUSE I WOULD RATHER THEY LIVE IN PALM BAY AND THEY WORK IN PALM BAY AND THEY PLAY IN PALM BAY. SO THAT THAT'S BEEN OUR OUR GOAL.

BUT WE REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE HARD WORK THAT YOU AND YOUR TEAM, THAT YOU GUYS ARE SO EFFECTIVE. AND JUST TO PUT IT IN A CONCEPT, THE FIRE TEAM IS FIVE PERSONNEL.

BY. YOUR TEAM IN THE MILITARY, RIGHT? SO WHAT YOU DO WITH THREE IS IMPECCABLE.

CONGRATULATIONS, THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO FOR OUR CITY.

HI, I'M ALEX BERNARD, I'M THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR.

HEY, ALEX. I'M PRETTY NEW HERE, I'M LEARNING EVERYBODY'S FACES AND PLACES AND ALL OF THE GREAT THINGS, BUT LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT GROWTH MANAGEMENT.

IT'S A REALLY EXCITING PLACE TO BE.

GROWTH MANAGEMENT IS COMPRISED OF BOTH CODE COMPLIANCE AND LAND DEVELOPMENT, AND THOSE ARE TWO REALLY IMPORTANT IMPORTANT PIECES OF MAKING A CITY FUNCTION WELL.

SO I'LL START WITH LAND DEVELOPMENT AND THEN WE'LL SEGWAY INTO CODE COMPLIANCE AND WE'LL START WITH STAFF FIRST.

SO OUR STAFF IS COMPRISED OF ABOUT 19 PEOPLE, OF WHICH WE HAVE FOUR VACANCIES IN LAND DEVELOPMENT. I WILL TELL YOU OUR CODE COMPLIANCE IS FULLY STAFFED.

THEY ARE AN AWESOME, GREAT TEAM.

I'M VERY PROUD TO BE PART OF THAT TEAM AND I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE FUTURE WITH LAND DEVELOPMENT AND THE GREAT POTENTIAL OF HAVING SOME NEW EMPLOYEES ONBOARDED IN THE NEAR FUTURE. WE'RE WORKING HARD TOWARDS THAT EVERY DAY.

UM, SO LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN TWENTY TWENTY ONE AND TWENTY TWENTY ONE.

THERE WERE A HUNDRED PUBLIC HEARINGS THAT LAND DEVELOPMENT BROUGHT BEFORE YOU GUYS.

THAT WAS EVERYTHING FROM PLAN AMENDMENTS, REZONING SUBDIVISIONS, VARIANCE TEXTUAL AMENDMENTS AND THEN ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEWS.

TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY THREE.

THIS INCLUDES SITE PLANS, SUBDIVISIONS.

THIS IS EVERYTHING THAT LAND DEVELOPMENT DOES ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE ALSO DID FENCE PERMITS, SHED PERMITS, ZONING VERIFICATION LETTERS. IT'S A LOT.

THERE IS A LOT OF LAND DEVELOPMENT, TURNS OUT A LOT OF WORK, AND I'M PROUD OF THE ACCOMPLISHMENT THAT PALM BAY IS BRINGING, SO I'M VERY PROUD OF WHAT 2021 LOOKED LIKE.

BUT LET'S TALK ABOUT THE FUTURE FOR A LITTLE BIT.

SO. NANCY SEGWAYS PERFECTLY ABOUT THE RESIDENTIAL VERSUS COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT A WHOLE COMMUNITY, IF YOU IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE A FULL A BALANCE BETWEEN THAT AND IF YOU'LL SEE ON THE MAP, EVERYTHING IN YELLOW IS RESIDENTIAL, EVERYTHING IN RED IS COMMERCIAL AND EVERYTHING IN GRAY IS INDUSTRIAL.

SO YOU CAN JUST SEE VISUALLY THE IMBALANCE.

AND SO ONE OF THE VISIONS THAT I HAVE IS TO TRY AND HELP BRING THAT MORE INTO BALANCE AND LOOKING INTO WHERE THOSE AREAS OF OPPORTUNITY ARE AND HOW HOW WE CAN GET THERE.

SO WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE RESIDENTS, BUT YET HAVE THAT INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL BASE AS WELL.

SO THEY KIND OF FEED OFF OF EACH OTHER.

SO AND ONE OF THE WAYS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING THAT IS YOU'LL HEAR IN PUBLIC HEARING NUMBER NINE IS WE'RE FINISHING UP THE VISIONING PLAN, WHICH EVERYBODY HAS BEEN REALLY ACTIVE AND EXCITED ABOUT AND GOING INTO REWRITING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WHICH IS THE OVERALL VIEW OF WHAT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE AND BEING A PART OF THAT AND AND FINDING THAT BALANCE. SO I THINK THAT 2022 IS GOING TO BE A GREAT YEAR TO MAKE A LOT OF GOOD THINGS HAPPEN IN REGARDS TO THAT, AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO HELP LEADING THAT CHARGE.

SO LET'S GO INTO CODE COMPLIANCE A LITTLE BIT.

CODE COMPLIANCE WORKS VERY HARD.

I WILL TELL YOU, IN 2020 ONE, THEY HAD THREE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED CASES, OF WHICH TWO THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED COMPLIED AND NINE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY ONE WERE CLOSED.

[00:55:03]

SO WITH THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU GUYS MIGHT HAVE I'VE AND ABOUT ALEX. DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON NOT REALLY A QUESTION, MARY.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. NOT REALLY A QUESTION, BUT MORE OF A STATEMENT.

ALEX, WE APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

WE'RE GOING TO GET YOU FULLY STAFFED BECAUSE YOU'RE DOING AMAZING THINGS AND YOU ONLY HAVE SIX PEOPLE CURRENTLY.

IF YOU'RE OUT THERE AND YOU'RE LISTENING, APPLY.

WE NEED A, YOU KNOW, ASSISTANT GROWTH MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR.

WE NEED A PRINCIPAL PLANNER.

WE NEED A SENIOR PLANNER PLANNING SPECIALIST.

WE NEED ALL THIS. COME ON DOWN TO PALM BAY.

DON'T GO TO MERRITT ISLAND OR GO TO TEXAS.

COME HERE. AND THE OTHER MEMBER IS THE COUNTY, THOUGH.

YEAH, BUT YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T WANT TO BE OUT THERE, COME HERE.

IN THE LAST PART, I WOULD LIKE FOR US, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, NOT NOW, BUT JUST IN GENERAL TO KIND OF EXPAND UPON, YOU KNOW, CODE COMPLIANCE.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBER TWENTY TWO THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED COMPILED ONLY NINE HUNDRED NINE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY ONE CLOSE.

LIKE, I WANT US TO LOOK AT IT, YOU KNOW, AS A COUNCIL OF WAYS TO BE MORE PROACTIVE BECAUSE I CAN TELL YOU, I DRIVE THE CITY AND THERE'S MORE THAN TEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED IN REGARDS TO CASES.

PART OF IT IS BECAUSE THE STATE MADE IT WHERE IT'S A REQUIREMENT FOR YOU TO HAVE TO REGISTER YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, WHICH DETERS NEIGHBORS FROM TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING.

THEY'RE TRYING TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD AND MAKE SURE IT LOOKS, YOU KNOW, LOOKS GOOD. YEAH, BUT THEY ARE SCARED OF, YOU KNOW, HAVING, YOU KNOW, RETALIATION, RETALIATION, RIGHT? SO IT DETERS A LOT OF PEOPLE TO THE POINT WHERE THERE'S BEEN TIMES WHERE I'VE HAD TO REPORT THINGS WHEN I DRIVE BECAUSE NEIGHBORS WERE, YOU KNOW, NERVOUS ABOUT REPORTING IT. SO YEAH, THAT CHANGED IN JULY OF TWENTY ONE, I BELIEVE.

YEAH, YEAH. SO JUST WITHIN THAT TIME, I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, THEY'LL JUST TURN, THEY HATE IT, BUT THEY'LL JUST TURN THE WAYSIDE BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO.

SO I JUST WANT US TO LOOK AT MORE PROACTIVE WAYS OF WHAT WE CAN DO, YOU KNOW, TO KEEP OUR CITY CLEAN AND HAVE IT LOOKING LIKE THE GREATEST CITY IN THE FACE OF THE EARTH.

SO YEAH, THAT'S THAT'S THE ONLY OTHER COMMENT YOU'RE DOING GREAT.

BUT THAT'S JUST, I GUESS, SOMETHING MORE FOR STAFF AND COUNCIL TO CONSIDER.

SO AND PART OF THAT DISCUSSION WAS WITH THIS COUNCIL JUST DID IS WE CHANGE THE WAY OUR CODE COMPLIANCE AND WITH THE MAGISTRATE.

I I COMMEND THIS COUNCIL FOR MOVING IN THAT DIRECTION.

I THINK THAT WAS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

BUT YES, MA'AM, OUTSTANDING JOB.

I WANT TO GO TO COUNCILMAN FELIX.

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANTED TO ADD? CONGRATULATIONS. GREAT JOB.

KEEP, KEEP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

AND AS I WOULD SAY, THE SAME AS DEPUTY MAYOR.

WE'LL DO WHATEVER WE CAN DO AS COUNSEL TO SUPPORT WHAT YOU DO.

AND AS FAR AS HELPING I NEW MS. SHERMAN IS FULLY ON BOARD AND HOWEVER WE CAN HELP.

PLEASE LET US KNOW. WELL, THANK YOU.

COUNCILMAN FOSTER. YOU ARE.

CONGRATULATIONS. WELCOME TO THE TEAM.

THANKS. YOUR JOB IS VERY IMPORTANT TO THE GROWTH OF THE CITY, AND COLON COMPLIANCE IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE GOT TO KEEP OUR CITY PRISTINE AND LOOKING GOOD.

AND AND IF YOUR NEIGHBOR YOU KNOW, I LIVE IN LA HOYA AND THEY GET ON ME ALL THE TIME, I CAN'T EVEN PUT A SIGN OUT OF MY YARD.

OK. BUT THAT'S THE RULES.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S THE RULES, AND I ADHERE TO THE RULES AND I CAN IMAGINE SOMEONE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD. I DROVE DOWN ROADS WHERE YOU GOT.

BIG BOATS IN FRONT OF PEOPLE NAVAL YARD.

I MEAN, IF I WAS LIVING ON THAT BLOCK, I'D BE GOING CRAZY.

TO SEE SOMEBODY, YOU KNOW? YOU KNOW? SPEEDBOAT OR WHATEVER BOAT THEY ARE TAKING UP THE ROADWAY OR IN THE YARD WAY, EVEN THOUGH THAT'S MY YARD, BUT OF THE NEIGHBORS, YOU GOT TO RESPECT THEIR WISHES TOO, BECAUSE WE LIVE IN ONE COMMUNITY AND WE GOT TO LIVE WITH EACH OTHER.

THAT'S RIGHT. HAVE YOU CONSIDER? I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT THE COMP PLAN INJURED 20 20, THE COMPOUND TO ME IS LOOK LIKE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR LIGHT, INDUSTRIAL AND INDUSTRIAL.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE ANY THOUGHTS ON THAT? I DO, AND I REALLY I THINK THAT, LIKE NANCY SAID WITH THE THE ONE BUSINESS THAT HAD ALREADY COME IN ON THE SIDE AND THEN TO HAVE MORE EXPAND ON THAT, I MEAN, IT JUST LENDS ITSELF TO IT. SO SO WE CAN WE CAN LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING AND EVEN ANALYSIS THE CITY OF PALM BAY DO OWN LAND IN THE COMPOUND.

[01:00:03]

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU.

MS. MS. FELIX.

YEAH, A FEW THINGS I WANT TO.

I WANT TO SHARE. IT'S BEEN ON MY HEART.

THE FIRST THING IS WELCOME.

THANK YOU, THIS GREAT TEAM.

AND I REALIZED THAT YOU CAME IN AT SOME CHALLENGING TIMES.

BUT I KNOW THAT YOUR SHOULDERS CAN HANDLE IT.

AND I KNOW THAT THIS COUNCIL IS GOING TO GET THAT SUPPORT FOR YOU.

YOU'VE GOT A GREAT MANAGEMENT TEAM AND JONI GIANCOLA, BROWN AND IN CHARGE, MADAM SHERMAN OR CITY MANAGER AND I KNOW THAT EVEN.

MS. BROWN IS PICKING UP THE SLACK THERE, AND I WANT TO THANK HER AND COMMEND HER BECAUSE.

I ECHO IT IS CRITICAL THAT WE GET YOU ON POINT AND GET YOU THE SUPPORT THAT YOU SO RIGHTFULLY NEED THAT THIS CITY NEEDS.

YEAH, BECAUSE WE'RE AT A CROSSROADS RIGHT NOW.

SO THANK YOU. ABSOLUTELY.

THAT WOULD IN MY.

ON VALENTINO.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR COUNCILWOMAN VALENTINO PEREZ, CHIEF BUILDING OFFICIAL, WHEN TRIED TO GO THROUGH THIS SLIDE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, WE'D LIKE TO KIND OF OVERVIEW WHAT THE PRESENTATION IS GOING TO BE ABOUT.

WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO HIGHLIGHT SOME ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

OUR MISSION, OUR BUDGET SUMMARY, CURRENT STAFFING AND SOME BUDGET PRIORITIES THAT WE HAVE FOR TWENTY TWENTY THREE COMING UP.

I'D LIKE TO START BY HIGHLIGHTING THE IRS BUILDING DEPARTMENT RECOGNITION THAT WE JUST GOT WITHIN THE PAST FEW WEEKS.

AND I SAY THAT VERY PROUD BECAUSE I CAN THINK BACK TO ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF WHEN I TOOK THIS JOB. AND OF THE ATMOSPHERE THAT SURROUNDED THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT.

SO I FIGURED THAT ONE OF THE WAYS THAT I COULD BRING A LEVEL OF RESPECT TO THIS DEPARTMENT WAS TO GO AFTER THIS ACCREDITATION.

BUT I KNEW I NEEDED. I NEEDED TO TAKE THAT IN STEPS.

SO I STARTED BY TRYING TO GO AFTER THIS RECOGNITION, WHICH WE OBTAINED.

AND IT'S WHAT IT DOES IS DEMONSTRATES HIGH QUALITY PROFESSIONAL SERVICES.

IT INCREASES PUBLIC CONFIDENCE.

IT RAISES PUBLIC PROFILE OF DEPARTMENT CALLED PROFESSIONALS AND THE ORGANIZATION.

IT GIVES INSIGHT TO THE INDUSTRY'S BEST PRACTICES AND SERVES AS A FIRST STEP TOWARDS THE AGENCY'S CONSIDERATION OF A FULL ACCREDITATION.

SO LIKE I SAID, I'M VERY PROUD THAT WE STARTED WITH THIS STEP, BUT MY GOAL IS TO END UP WITH A FULL ACCREDITATION AND THAT'S ALREADY IN THE WORKS.

ALSO WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THAT SOON WE'LL BE GOING THROUGH OUR NEW IMSI PERMITTING SOFTWARE ON MARCH 20 8TH IS THE DATE THAT'S TARGETED FOR THAT.

I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT THAT MANY OF THE U.S.

USER FRIENDLY FEATURES FOR STAFF, WHICH IS GOING TO MAKE THE WORK EVEN MORE EFFICIENT.

AND THAT'S THE PURPOSE BEHIND THIS PERMITTING SOFTWARE.

SO IT'S SO IT'S MORE CONVENIENT TO THE APPLICANT, TO OUR RESIDENTS, TO THE DEVELOPERS.

AS FAR AS FOR STAFF ALERTS, CONTACT MANAGEMENT, CHECKLISTS, CONDITIONS, DASHBOARDS, FLAGS, INSPECTION RESULTS AND SCHEDULING, MAP INTEGRATION, CONCURRENT PLANNING REVIEWS, REPORTS, ET CETERA.

AND THE MANY USER FRIENDLY FEATURES FOR THE CUSTOMER ARE DASHBOARDS FOR ALL PERMITS, WHICH IS A REQUIREMENT NOW IN FLORIDA THAT IF YOU PULL A PERMIT, YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THAT'S WORTH WHERE THAT'S AT FROM A BUILDING CODE STANDPOINT.

SO THAT'S GOING TO BE AVAILABLE ONLINE FOR LOOKUP.

ELECTRONIC FILES ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO BE UPLOADED, WHICH REDUCES THE FOOT TRAFFIC THAT WE GET IN THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT.

AND WE'RE SEEING IT TODAY NOW THAT ALTHOUGH OUR FOOT TRAFFIC IS LESSENED INSIDE, EVERYBODY IS SUBMITTING ELECTRONICALLY, WHICH FOSTER IS A BETTER RELATIONSHIP WITH DEVELOPERS FROM THE COMFORT OF THEIR HOME AND THEIR OFFICES.

AND THEY STREAMLINED INTERFACE THAT ALLOWS A TOTAL USER EXPERIENCE, LIKE I SAID, FOR CITIZENS, CONTRACTORS AND OUR EMPLOYEES.

AND LIKE, WHAT WILL WE STAND FOR AS A MISSION, WE MAINTAIN AND CONTINUALLY IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF SERVICE.

I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT ASPECT BECAUSE THAT IS MY MY GOAL THAT WE CAN PROVIDE SERVICE TO THE RESIDENTS HERE, PALM BAY AND OUR FUTURE DEVELOPERS.

WE'VE IMPLEMENTED CURRENT TECHNOLOGY AND PRACTICES TO GAIN EFFICIENCIES IN OUR PROCESSES TO INCREASE OUR OPPORTUNITIES FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, FULFILL ALL WORK TO BE FAIR, PROMPT AND CONSISTENT, AND BUILD AND MAINTAIN A STAKEHOLDER RELATIONSHIP.

[01:05:03]

OUR CORE SERVICES LIKE, LIKE I SAID, OUR PLAN REVIEW INSPECTIONS PERMITTING ANY BUILDINGS THAT YOU SEE GOING UP HERE VERTICAL, WE'RE TAKING CARE OF ALL THE INSPECTIONS, THE PLAN REVIEW RELATED TO IT.

AND AS YOU KNOW, OTHER DEPARTMENTS LIKE PUBLIC WORKS, THEY DO THE DRAINAGE AND ALL THE OTHER PERMITS THAT ARE REQUIRED FOR US TO BE ABLE TO ISSUE A BUILDING PERMANENT.

THEY GO VERTICAL AND WE SEE A LOT OF THAT HAPPENING HERE IN THE CITY.

OUR BUDGET, AS SHOWN HERE ON THE SCREEN FOR 2021, JUST TO HIGHLIGHT OUR REVENUE WAS NORTH OF $6.7 MILLION IN BUILDING PERMIT FEES.

PLAN REVIEW FEES.

RECALL FEES.

AND ALTHOUGH IT SAYS THIRTY SEVEN THOUSAND IN THE PAST, I THINK WE'VE REDUCED THAT ALMOST 200000 THANKS TO INITIATIVES HERE AT COUNCIL TO WAIVE FIRST TIME FEES, WHICH ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO DEVELOP THAT RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR DEVELOPERS THAT WE'RE NOT THERE TO GAIN FEES. WE'RE THERE TO MAKE THESE JOBS GO SMOOTH AND THAT THEY GET DEVELOP HERE IN THE CITY. ALSO, OUR ACTUAL EXPENDITURES FOR TWENTY TWENTY ONE WERE JUST OVER $4 MILLION FOR PERSONAL COST.

SOME OUTSIDE CONTRACTORS THAT WE'VE HIRED TO HELP US PERFORM THE INSPECTIONS THAT WAY, JOBS ARE NOT DELAYED AND OUR OPERATING COST AS YOU SEE ANOTHER NORTH OF ONE POINT ONE POINT TWO MILLION DOLLARS.

WE HAVE THIRTY FIVE FULL TIME POSITIONS, THREE PART TIME, THREE PART TIME, AND I'M DIRECTING THE OPERATIONS AT THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT.

WITH THE HELP OF A GREAT STAFF, I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT GOT GREAT STAFF, THAT WE'RE ALL PULLING IN THE SAME DIRECTION.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE IN THIS ORGANIZATIONAL CHART, WE'VE WE'VE ALLOCATED KEY POSITIONS.

I THINK I'VE GOT THE RIGHT MANAGERS IN PLACE TO FOSTER THE DEVELOPMENT THAT WE'RE LOOKING AS A DEPARTMENT. OUR PRIORITIES FOR TWENTY TWENTY THREE, WE'VE ALLOCATED $6.4 MILLION TO A NEW BUILDING FOR DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION, WHICH WILL BE BUILDING IN.

WE'RE ALLOCATING MONEY FOR 15 VEHICLES FOR OUR INSPECTORS TO BE ALL ELECTRIC.

AND I'D LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT THAT WE'RE GOING AFTER THESE ELECTRICAL ELECTRIC FORD ONE FIFTIES. THE COST IS HIGHLIGHTED HERE.

THESE ELECTRIC VEHICLES ARE GOING TO HELP US REDUCE FUEL USAGE, ESPECIALLY NOW THAT IT'S JUST GOING. UP IN COST AND OUR.

OUR MAINTENANCE COSTS ARE GOING TO BE DECREASED BY $26000.

ALSO, THE ONLY MAINTENANCE ON THESE VEHICLES REALLY ARE JUST SLOW WIPER BLADES, TIRES AND AT 100000 MILES WILL BE REPLACING BATTERIES ON IT.

AND WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO INSTALLING ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS THAT THE LOCATIONS ARE TO BE DETERMINED.

BUT WE WANT TO PUT FIVE OF THESE UP AND BUDGETED FOR OUR DEPARTMENT, AND WE'RE LOOKING FOR NEW LAPTOPS FOR INSPECTORS AT ABOUT $22000.

LIKE I MENTIONED, AND IT'S BEEN IN EVERY SLIDE HERE, WE'RE OPEN FOR BUSINESS.

WE'RE TRYING TO FOSTER THAT.

SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL TRY TO ANSWER THEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY.

WELL, I'M GOING TO I'M GOING TO KICK THIS OFF.

VALENTINO, THE FIRST THING I WANT TO SAY IS WHEN YOU FIRST GOT HERE, YOU INHERITED SOMETHING WHERE YOU HAD SOME HUGE CHALLENGES TO OVERCOME.

AND I'M REMINDED OF THE SOFTWARE SHORTFALL THAT YOU ENCOUNTERED IN THE PROCESS TO ACCOMPLISH OVER TWELVE ALMOST THIRTEEN THOUSAND PERMITS WITH THOSE CHALLENGES THAT IN AND OF ITSELF SPEAKS VOLUMES OF YOU AND YOUR TEAM OUTSTANDING JOB.

I JUST KNOW THAT THIS NEW SOFTWARE IS JUST GOING TO TAKE IT TO GREATER HEIGHTS.

CUSTOMER SERVICE I'VE I'VE ALREADY GOTTEN FEEDBACK HAS IMPROVED DRAMATICALLY OVER BEFORE WE GOT ON THE DICE.

I CAN TELL YOU THAT ALL THAT INFORMATION COMES TO EVERYONE ON THIS DAIS BECAUSE ALL THE BUSINESS OWNERS OUT THERE, ALL THE ALL THE DEVELOPERS, THEY THEY COME TO US AND THEY THEY SHARE THEIR THEIR GRIEVANCES AND THE GRIEVANCES HAVE GONE DOWN AND YOUR PRODUCTION HAS GONE UP. SO I WANTED TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY AND I KNOW THAT MY MY COLLEAGUES ARE GOING TO SHARE THIS. YOU'VE DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB.

YOUR TEAM HAS DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB WITH THE CHALLENGES IN ALL THE PERMITS THAT THAT YOU FACE ON A DAILY BASIS TO INCLUDE NOW THEY CAN UPLOAD THEIR PERMIT PROCESS AND AND THAT IN AND OF ITSELF, LIKE YOU SAID, FROM THE COMFORTS OF THEIR HOME, YOU'VE DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB. SO I COMMEND YOU AND I KNOW DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON RAISED HIS HIS PENCIL,

[01:10:05]

THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. I COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER, THOUGH, LIKE FROM THE TIME YOU GOT BECAUSE I WAS HERE WITH PRIOR COUNSEL AND PRIOR THE PRIOR DIRECTOR AND EVERYTHING.

AND IT WAS IT WAS ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER AT THAT TIME.

BUT SIR, YOU'VE DONE IT.

YOU AND YOUR TEAM, THEY'RE NOT HERE, BUT PLEASE ECHO OUR REGARDS TO THEM TOO, BECAUSE YOU ALL HAVE DONE AN AMAZING JOB.

AND I'M EXCITED BECAUSE I'M LOOKING AT THE ELECTRIC VEHICLES THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS BEFORE. WE EVEN SAW THE GAS PRICES JUMP UP THE WAY THEY HAVE.

LET'S BE HONEST. BUT TO SEE THIS RIGHT HERE, I'M EXCITED.

FOR THE DIFFERENT OTHER DEPARTMENTS, LET'S START TO FOLLOW AND SUIT AS WELL TO GET THAT, YOU KNOW, GET TOWARDS THAT DIRECTION.

I KNOW MS., NANCY, YOUR DEPARTMENT IS AND OTHERS ARE TOO.

BUT IT'S THE WAY OF THE FUTURE, AND ESPECIALLY IF WE WANT TO BE, YOU KNOW, EFFICIENT AND, YOU KNOW, MAXIMIZE, LIKE YOU SAID, YOU LOOK AT THE DOLLARS IN REGARDS TO, YOU KNOW, JUST A BATTERY REPLACEMENT.

YOU KNOW, IT'S LOW MAINTENANCE.

YOU CAN'T BEAT THAT. THAT'S GOING TO HELP FLEET OUT TREMENDOUSLY.

SO THANK YOU AGAIN, SIR.

I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU DO.

THAT OR COUNCILMAN FELIX, THANK YOU, MAYOR.

IT SOUNDS LIKE WE WERE ON ON ON A THEME, THE SAME THEME HERE.

I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY VALENTINO THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S TOO TOUGH ACT TO FOLLOW, RIGHT? THE TWO LADIES PRIOR TO YOU.

BUT MAN, YOU DELIVERED.

CONGRATULATIONS. YEAH, YOU TRULY DID.

I TELL YOU WHAT I MEAN.

ONE OF THE THING I APPRECIATE NOT ONLY ABOUT YOUR LEADERSHIP, WHAT YOU BROUGHT TO THIS DEPARTMENT AND WHAT YOU BROUGHT TO THE CITY AS A WHOLE IS THAT YOUR PERSONALITY AND YOUR DEMEANOR, THIS MAN IS SO HUMBLE.

JUST UNBELIEVABLE, RIGHT? HE SAID HE MENTIONED THE I IS RIGHT.

YEAH, CREATIVE NATION.

THAT'S A BIG DEAL.

PALM BAY IS THE NUMBER ONE CITY IN THE WHOLE UNITED STATES.

I MEAN. THAT THAT'S WITHOUT A LONG.

AND HE WAS SO NONCHALANT ABOUT IT, LIKE JUST, YOU KNOW.

BUT JUST TO TELL YOU, SIR, I DO APPRECIATE WHAT YOU DO AND NO ONE.

WE ARE THE NUMBER ONE PALM BAY IS ON THE MAP IN THE WHOLE UNITED STATES.

I BRING VALUE, THE PROFESSIONALISM, THE WAY WE DELIVER SERVICE.

SO THIS MEANS SO MUCH.

AND FOR THAT, AND I KNOW YOU PUT A LOT OF WORK INTO THIS AND YOU SHARED PERSONALLY, YOU SHARE THAT WITH ME AND WE APPRECIATE WHAT YOU DO.

AND I KNOW THE OTHER GENTLEMAN MENTIONED A WHOLE LOT.

I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THAT.

THANK YOU. THAT'S IMPORTANT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING AND COUNCILMAN FELIX THAT, YOU KNOW, THE TAG TEAM ON THAT WAS WHEN HE FIRST GOT HERE.

THAT WAS IMPORTANT TO HIM TO BRING THAT ESSENCE, TO BRING THAT ACCREDITATION AND BRING THAT THAT CREDIBILITY TO THE ENTIRE DEPARTMENT.

AND YET IT RAISED THE CREDIBILITY TO THE ENTIRE CITY.

COUNCILMAN FOSTER. UM, YOU KNOW, WHEN I FIRST STARTED RUNNING FOR THE SEAT, I SAT DOWN WITH YOU AND YOU JUST GOT HERE.

AND LIKE THE MAYOR SAID, WE'VE BEEN GETTING A LOT OF COMPLAINTS WHEN I WAS RUNNING ABOUT DEVELOPER AND.

OUR CITY WASN'T BOOMING LIKE IT WAS WHEN YOU FIRST GOT HERE.

AM I RIGHT? YEP. AND YOU? YOU TOOK. ALL OF THAT DEPARTMENT AND YOU MADE IT BETTER.

YOU KNOW, EVERY GREAT TEAM NEED A GREAT LEADER AND EVERY LEAD, GREAT LEADER NEED A GREAT TEAM GOES HAND IN HAND.

THAT'S SOMETHING I LEARNED IN THE MILITARY.

IT'S SOMETHING TO STICK WITH ME FOREVER, AND IT TAKES LEADERSHIP.

BUT YOU DON'T DO IT ALONE.

YOUR TEAM BACKS YOU.

AND WHEN YOU HAVE A TEAM THAT SUPPORT THEIR LEADER, YOU ARE IN SYNC, YOU ARE UNSTOPPABLE.

AND WHAT YOU'VE DONE WAS OUTSTANDING WORK.

AND WHEN I SEEN YOUR PLAN, YOUR BUDGET PRIORITIES FOR TWENTY TWENTY THREE, I ALMOST BOUNCED OUT OF MY SEAT BECAUSE I WANT TO BUY AN F-150 ELECTRIC THAT'S ON MY LIST TO DO IN TWENTY TWENTY THREE AND BUY ONE OF THE F-150 TRUCKS.

THAT'S AN AMAZING VEHICLE.

AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO SERVE YOU WELL AND THE CHARGING STATION YOU GOT.

YOU'VE, YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT ELECTRIC VEHICLES SINCE I FIRST STARTED RUNNING AND I TALKED TO THE CITY MANAGER ABOUT IT.

I HAVE TALKED TO CHIEF MOYER ABOUT IT.

I HAVE TALKING TO OTHER DIRECTORS ABOUT WHEN I WAS A CANDIDATE ABOUT ELECTRIC VEHICLES.

NOW WE SEE IT.

GAS PRICES.

UM, IT'S OUTRAGEOUS, AND IT AFFECTS EVERY DEPARTMENT, ESPECIALLY A DEPARTMENT LIKE YOURS, THAT YOU'VE GOT TO USE THESE VEHICLES TO GET AROUND AND IT'S GOING TO GET HIGHER BECAUSE NOW WE'VE GOT TO NOW BE INVOLVED IN A WAR AND THE GAS PRICE IS GOING TO GO UP.

YOU KNOW, I TRY TO NOT GET ON MY SOAPBOX BECAUSE I THINK THE GAS PRICE IS THE BIGGEST RIP

[01:15:06]

OR JUST TO ME, IT'S AN ATTACK ON AMERICA.

THE GAS INDUSTRY, BUT.

I'M GLAD YOU'RE LOOKING TOWARDS THE FUTURE.

THANK YOU FOR THE LEADERSHIP.

PEOPLE DON'T KNOW HOW, HOW FAR YOU TRAVEL TO WORK EVERY DAY.

YEAH. EVERY DAY YOU WHAT IS AN HOUR DRIVE JUST TO GIVE OVER AN HOUR DRIVE JUST TO GET HERE? AND AND YOU'VE GOT TO GO HOME TONIGHT.

OK. I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU, AND I HOPE PALM BAY CAN KEEP YOU.

KEEP YOUR LEADERSHIP AND DON'T GO TO ANOTHER.

STAY HERE. YOU'VE DONE GREAT JOB.

THANK YOU. THAT'S MY INTENTION. THANK YOU, SIR.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

SO THAT CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATION, CORRECT, MADAM SHERMAN.

SO, DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON, WE ARE ON PUBLIC COMMENT.

[PUBLIC COMMENTS/RESPONSES ]

THANK YOU, BRIAN. MY NAME IS MARK HODGE.

I LIVE AT NINETEEN SIXTY FOUR WIND BURAK DRIVE PALM BAY.

AN APPLICATION HAS BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE CITY OF PALM BAY.

TO. CAUSE A COURSE.

TO BE RESUMED.

AND HOUSES TO BE BUILT ON IT.

THAT APPLICATION IS IN YOUR HANDS NOW.

THE CITY OF PALM BAY.

IT'S A RECREATIONAL AREA IN THE CITY OF PALM BAY.

TO BE DEMOLISHED.

TO BE.

CHANGED TO SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO BE BRICK AND MORTAR MORTAR.

AN ASPHALT. A RECREATIONAL AREA IN THE CITY OF PALM BAY.

THE PHRASE IS A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS.

I ONLY HAVE THREE MINUTES, SO WE'RE GOING TO GO AFTER SOME PICTURES.

THESE PICTURES WERE TAKEN ON THE MAJOR'S GOLF COURSE.

YOU CAN JUST KEEP SCROLLING THROUGH THEM.

ALL OF THEM ARE REPRESENTATION OF A RECREATIONAL AREA.

IN THE CITY OF PALM BAY, THE ONLY GOLF COURSE IN THE CITY OF PALM BAY, THE ONLY ONE, THERE IS NO OTHER GOLF COURSES LEFT.

THIS IS IT. IF YOU CAN STOMP ON THE NEXT ONE.

THIS IS A PICTURE OF A TURTLE'S EGG NEST.

THOSE ARE STAKES.

THERE'S ACTUALLY TWO OR THREE OF THESE AROUND THE COURSE IN THE.

WE ALL LOVE THE SNAKES AND ALL.

AND THEN THERE WE ARE, THE AMERICAN BALD EAGLE HOLE, 15, OVERLOOKING THE LAKE, THE GREEN. LOOK, AND MAYBE FOR THE BABY TURTLE HATCHLINGS, BUT THE BALD EAGLE.

ISN'T IT JUST BEAUTIFUL? THAT'S THIS COURSE, THAT'S THIS RECREATION AREA.

PLEASE, WE ASK YOU, LEAD US, LEAD US AND HOW TO PROTECT HOW TO PRESERVE THIS RECREATIONAL AREA IN PALM BAY THIS GREEN SPACE IN PALM BAY, THE GREATEST CITY IN THE WORLD. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MR. HUNT.

THANK YOU. MR. GIBLIN, FOLLOWED BY KEVIN KELLER.

GOOD EVENING. HEATHER JOYNER PURCHASED THE MAJOR'S GOLF COURSE THROUGH AN ONLINE AUCTION IN JANUARY OF 2020.

EVEN THOUGH SHE HAD OWNED AND MANAGED OTHER SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSES, SHE HAD NO EXPERIENCE IN GOLF COURSE OPERATION.

THE COURSE AND CLUBHOUSE WERE POORLY MAINTAINED PRIOR TO HER PURCHASE AND NEEDED AN INVESTMENT OF CAPITAL TO IMPROVE ITS CONDITION, WHICH SHE HAS DONE.

UNFORTUNATELY, THE COVID EPIDEMIC HIT TWO MONTHS AFTER SHE PURCHASED THE BUSINESS.

SHE DID RECEIVE PPP MONEY FROM THE GOVERNMENT, AS IN MANY BUSINESSES, TO HELP STAY

[01:20:03]

EARLY ON, HER FOCUS WAS TO MAKE THE CLUBHOUSE A LARGE SCALE RESTAURANT, A BAR VENUE.

BUT I DON'T BELIEVE THE BUILDING WAS DESIGNED FOR THAT TYPE OF VENUE SHE SO DESIRED.

BETWEEN THAT AND POSSIBLY SOME POOR CHOICES IN THE STAFF SHE HIRED RUNNING OPERATION.

IT WAS NOT COME TO ATTRITION.

WELL, BECAUSE OF HER EFFORTS, INCREASINGLY INCREASING THE QUALITY OF THE GOLF COURSE HAS SEEN A MAJOR INCREASE IN THE AMOUNT OF GOLF PATRONS AVERAGING NEARLY ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY ROUNDS PER DAY DURING THE PRIME WINTER MONTHS.

HERE SOME DAYS SEEING UPWARDS OF 200 GOLFERS MEMBERSHIPS HAVE INCREASED 400 PERCENT SINCE SHE ACQUIRED THE BUSINESS.

I BELIEVE HER STATEMENT THAT THE COURSE IS UN SUSTAINABLE IS NOT ACCURATE, GIVEN THE FACT THAT MS. JOINER HAD NO EXPERIENCE IN OPERATING A GOLF COURSE.

SHE MAY HAVE MADE SOME POOR DECISIONS IN STAFFING AND CONTRACTORS SHE HIRED TO ASSIST HER IN THIS ENDEAVOR.

IT SEEMS THE IDEA OF DEVELOPING THE LAND WAS ALWAYS IN THE BACK OF HER MIND.

IF SHE COULDN'T ACHIEVE THE PROFIT SHE DESIRED AS A GOLF COURSE OPERATION, THEN SHE WOULD TAKE THE EASY WAY OUT BY SELLING TO A DEVELOPER WITH NO REGARD TO ALL THE COMMUNITY OF PALM BAY, THE GREATEST CITY OF ALL.

GRANTED, RUNNING THE GOLF COURSE IS NOT EASY, BUT I BELIEVE IT CAN BE PROFITABLE, AS ARE MANY GOLF COURSES IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

MS. JOYNER HAS MADE THE STATEMENT THAT THE COURSE HAS BEEN FOR SALE FROM THE FIRST DAY SHE PURCHASED IT. I AM A LICENSED REAL ESTATE BROKER.

I HAVE SEARCHED ALL THE MAJOR COMMERCIAL WEBSITES AND CANNOT FIND WHERE THE COURSES LISTED FOR SALE AS A GOLF COURSE.

PLEASE DENY HER REQUEST TO RESUME THE COURSE.

POOR MANAGEMENT AND GREED DO NOT CONSTITUTE ALLOWING A ZONING CHANGE.

THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHER SUITABLE LOCATIONS FOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IN PALM BAY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

DAVID TAYLOR, FOLLOWED BY CHARLES SDOHOBSH.

OH, THIS MAN, COUNCIL, MY NAME IS KEVIN KELLER, LIVE AT 270 NARRAGANSETT STREET IN PALM BAY. I WAS A TEACHER AT LOCKE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AS A PHYS ED TEACHER THERE FOR TWENTY NINE YEARS. OK.

BAYSIDE LAKES COMMUNITY WAS DEVELOPED AROUND THE ARNOLD PALMER DESIGNED GOLF COURSE, THE MAJORS. IT'S BEEN A DRAW FOR RESIDENTS AND SNOWBIRDS WHO COME DOWN HERE, ESPECIALLY TO LIVE IN A GOLF COURSE COMMUNITY.

D.R. HORTON HAS BEEN SELLING HOUSES THAT BOARDED THE GOLF COURSE AS GOLF COURSE LOTS.

FAMILIES BUY HOUSES ON THE GOLF COURSE AT A PREMIUM WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT IT WILL BE A GOLF COURSE. THERE WILL BE A HUGE ECONOMIC IMPACT, EVERY HOMEOWNER WHO BOUGHT THEIR LUXURY HOME, RETIREMENT HOME, SMALL FAMILY, HOME OR CONDO.

AROUND THE COURSE AND PALM BAY WILL BE THE ONLY CITY OF ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE OR MORE WITHOUT A GOLF COURSE IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

NEVER BOUGHT THE CROSS AND SAID TO ME, YOU KNOW, JIM JUST SAID I'LL GET THREE TO FOUR TIMES THE AMOUNT OF MONEY FROM THIS GOLF COURSE.

WELL, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET IT AS A GOLF COURSE, THEY JUST DON'T MAKE THAT KIND OF MONEY, THEY DON'T APPRECIATE THAT MUCH.

AND THE PROFIT MARGINS OF A GOLF COURSE ARE LOW, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT HEATHER IS ALL ABOUT. SHE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT GOLF COURSE MANAGEMENT.

THERE'S A LOT OF WORK TO BE DONE ON THE FAIRWAYS, THE TRAPS, THE GREENS, ESPECIALLY.

SHE PUT MANY MONEY INTO THE CLUBHOUSE AND RESTAURANT CLEARED OUT PALMETTO BUSHES AND PEPPER TREES TO MAKE THE COURSE LOOK BETTER.

SHE'S DONE SOME UPGRADING OF THE COURSES IN PRETTY DECENT SHAPE NOW.

FORTUNATELY, WITH COVID, YOU KNOW GOLF WAS ALLOWED.

THEY SAY THAT THE COST IS UNSUSTAINABLE.

IT'S NOT TRUE. HEATHER IS A SHREWD BUSINESSWOMAN, BUT NOT AN ASTUTE GOLF COURSE OWNER.

SHE MADE MISTAKES.

THAT'S WHY SHE IS CLAIMING UNSUSTAINABILITY AS AN EXCUSE TO CASH IN ON HER $2 MILLION INVESTMENT BEFORE SHE GIVES THE COURTS A CHANCE TO MAKE SOME MONEY BECAUSE WE REQUIRE WORK. IMPROPER PROPER MANAGEMENT.

AND AS SOON AS SHE BUYS SOMETHING, IT'S FOR SALE.

HER WORDS TO CHANGE THE ZONING, TO ALLOW SOMEONE TO CASH IN ON THEIR DECISION TO BUY A GOLF COURSE, KNOWING LITTLE ABOUT GOLF COURSE MANAGEMENT AND SELL IT TO DEVELOPERS.

IT'S UNCONSCIONABLE.

THE CURRENT ZONING IS A POISON PILL TO PREVENT HOUSING DEVELOPMENT OF 423 HOMES.

[01:25:07]

TWO ENTITIES STAND TO MAKE THE PROFITS.

HEATHER, THE DEVELOPER.

THREE HUNDRED AND FORTY FIVE HOMEOWNERS ABUTTING THE COURSE LOSE 20 PERCENT OF THEIR VALUE. PLEASE SAY NO TO REZONING.

THANK YOU AND GREED.

THANK YOU FOR ALL SOTO.

FOLLOWED BY SUSAN B. CONNELLY.

COUNCIL MEMBERS, NICE TO SEE.

YOU ALL PLAY GOLF.

I THINK YOU DO. EVERYBODY PLAYS GOLF.

WE'RE NOT HERE TO PLAY GOLF.

WE DIDN'T COME HERE TO SAVE A GOLF COURSE.

WE CAME HERE TO SAVE A COMMUNITY.

YOU GUYS GOT EVERYTHING IN YOUR HANDS TO HELP OUT AND STOP THE YELLOW.

HOW MUCH YELLOW DO YOU NEED? WE CAN'T DO IT.

WE ARE CHOKED OUT DOWN THERE.

BAYSIDE LAKES AND YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR FROM OUR PRESIDENT.

THAT TURN IN IN WHAT IS IT, BAYSIDE LAKES BOULEVARD? IT'S A DEATH TRAP, AND THERE'S NOT EVEN HALF OF THE THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY HOMES AT NORTON PUT UP, D.R.

HORTON PUT UP YET.

AND LIKE THE YOUNG LADY SAID, YOU WANT TEN THOUSAND CARS COMING IN AND 10000 CARS COMING OUT, BUT NOBODY'S STOPPING HER AND HAVING A DINNER OR ANYTHING.

WHY? WE DON'T HAVE THE FACILITIES, PEOPLE ARE NOT BUYING RESTAURANTS AND PUTTING THEM UP.

IF YOU'RE GOING TO BUY PROPERTY, PUT RESTAURANTS, BUT FACILITIES THAT PEOPLE CAN USE.

WE HAVE AN AGED COMMUNITY IN BAYSIDE LAKES.

IT'S A PROUD COMMUNITY AND TO BE EXCORIATED ON FACEBOOK BY MS. JOYNER BECAUSE SHE HAD A SELLER $200000 YACHT TO KEEP THE GOLF COURSE AFLOAT AND THAT WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR NOT SUPPORTING HER.

I THINK THAT'S A LITTLE SHORTSIGHTED.

I DON'T LIKE TO GET EMOTIONAL SOMETIMES, BUT I GET REALLY UPSET.

IT'S MY BLOOD. YOU GUYS SHOULD BUY THE COURSE.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT? YOU'VE GOT MILLIONS I SEEING SEVEN MILLIONS, EIGHT MILLIONS, TWENTY THREE MILLIONS GOT A GREAT BUILDING GUY HERE.

WHERE IS HE GOT ALL THESE GREAT THINGS ARE DOING BY THE COURSE? ERA DOES IT BECAUSE EVERY GOLF COURSE IN THE COUNTY IS THE BEST LOOKING GOLF COURSE, EXCEPT THIS ONE, WHY? IT'S NOT. IT'S NOT UNSUSTAINABLE.

I LIVE ON A THIRD HOLE.

THEY COME BY THERE IN DROVES.

I NEVER SAW IT BEFORE.

I'VE BEEN HERE SINCE 05.

IT IS SUSTAINABLE.

JUST GOT TO BE MANAGED LIKE MY FRIEND JUST SAID.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE YOU GUYS COULD POSSIBLY DO.

THIS HAS BEEN TWO OR THREE OWNERS NOW.

PALM BAY CITY COUNCIL.

SUPPORT THAT RECREATIONAL AREA, YOU HAVE NO OTHER DRAW IN THIS TOWN.

FOR ANYBODY TO DO ANYTHING.

AND NOBODY. WE CAN'T GO TO ANDRETTI PARK, CAN'T FIT IN THE CAR.

ALL RIGHT. AND MOST OF US CAN'T PLAY GOLF, BUT WE GO OUT THERE EVERY DAY, EVERY WEEK.

THESE ARE ALL MEMBERS YOU'VE GOT.

HERE ARE THE GOLF COURSE, $4300 A YEAR.

I AIN'T GIVING THEM THAT.

I'D HAVE TO. I'D HAVE TO SHOOT LIKE ARNOLD PALMER TO GET OUT THERE.

THANK YOU, SIR. BUT YOU NEED TO HELP US OUT.

YOU'RE RIGHT, OF COURSE. BIG, JUST LIKE BALL CARRIER.

SO IF YOU WANT TO RAISE MY TAXES, GO AHEAD, I'LL SUPPORT THE CAUSE.

SUZANNE B. COMMONLY FOLLOWED BY BILL BENNETT.

HELLO, COUNSEL, I'M SUSAN CONNOLLY.

I AM NOT HOT.

I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE MARCH 8TH ELECTION, WHICH.

IT A CANDIDATE THAT SUPPORTS BUYING THE GOLF COURSE AND.

YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE MOST THIS IS REALLY A FILLED FILLED WITH WE THE PEOPLE TONIGHT, AS THE MAYOR SAID.

AND THE OTHER NIGHT, ANOTHER NIGHT THAT IT WAS FILLED WITH THE PEOPLE WAS WHEN PEOPLE CAME AND ASKED THE COUNCIL INSTEAD OF NOMINATING TO FILL SEAT FIVE TO HAVE A SPECIAL

[01:30:05]

AND WE HAVE A SPECIAL ELECTION ON MARCH THE 8TH, WHICH IS NEXT TUESDAY.

THERE ARE FOUR CANDIDATES RUNNING.

THE CANDIDATES ARE EQUALLY QUALIFIED IN THEIR WILLINGNESS TO SERVE OUR TOWN, AND THEY ARE ALTHEA GREGORY, JIMMY BACKUS, PETER FILIBERTO AND PHIL MOORE ALL HAVE PLATFORMS. AND IT FOR ME PERSONALLY, HOW I MADE THE DECISION.

I'VE INTERVIEWED ALL THE CANDIDATES.

I'VE GONE TO PROGRAMS WITH THEM THAT I LOOK FOR PEOPLE WHO SERVED ON BOARDS FOR OUR CITY.

AND THEN I LOOKED ON BECAUSE I BELIEVE THESE PEOPLE WOULD STAY INVOLVED EVEN IF THEY DIDN'T WIN THE ELECTION.

AND THEN I LOOKED ON ISSUES THAT I WANTED TO SEE PRIORITIZED, AND THERE WAS ONE CANDIDATE THAT PRIORITIZED ISSUES RELATED TO DEVELOPMENT, WHICH WE'VE TALKED ABOUT TONIGHT AND ALSO A CANDIDATE THAT BELIEVED IN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT AND GREEN SPACES, WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME.

THERE WAS ALSO A CANDIDATE, THE SAME CANDIDATE WHO SUPPORTED THE INDIAN RIVER LAGOON.

SO I MADE MY CHOICE BASED ON THAT CANDIDATE AND THAT PARTICULAR PLATFORM.

AND I JUST SAY THIS SO OTHERS TOO CAN MAKE A DECISION.

THERE'S THE MAIN THING IS TO GET OUT AND VOTE.

THERE'S PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITY WITH LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS AND CHURCHES, FAMILY, FRIENDS, CALL ME.

I'LL BE GLAD TO BRING PEOPLE TO THE POLLS AND TALK ABOUT THE ELECTION.

I ALSO WANT TO SAY THAT WE HAVE A CANDIDATE HERE TONIGHT, PHIL MOORE AND PEOPLE.

IF YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR CANDIDATES, PLEASE TALK TO THIS GENTLEMAN BUT MAKE A DECISION.

GET OUT AND VOTE.

FILL OUR POLLS AND FILL THIS VACANCY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

BURAK THAT FOLLOWED BY ROBERT STICE.

GILBERT IN 586 OCEAN SPRAY STREET, SOUTHWEST.

I'VE DEPLOYED AND BEEN STATIONED ALL OVER THE WORLD.

AND THERE'S NO PLACE AFTER SEEING WHAT I'VE SEEN.

THERE'S NO PLACE I WOULD RATHER LIVE THAN RIGHT HERE IN PALM BAY, FLORIDA.

BUT THERE'S SOMETHING THAT I'D LIKE PEOPLE TO THINK ABOUT.

AND THAT'S OUR PEACE AND OUR TRANQUILITY THAT WE'RE EXPERIENCING RIGHT NOW.

THIS IS A VERY, VERY FRAGILE AND EASILY CAN BE EXTINGUISHED.

SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE'RE WATCHING WHAT HAPPENS IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW.

I PLAN FOR THE WORST.

HOPE FOR THE BEST.

BUT USE AS INDIVIDUALS.

ALL I CAN SAY BECAUSE WE'RE WATCHING IT HAPPEN.

PPP PROPER PLANNING PREVENTS PISS POOR PERFORMANCE.

THAT BEING SAID.

HE PUT IN YOUR MIND SET, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MR. CHIEF ROBERT STICE, FOLLOWED BY ARNOLD BOOM.

NO, NO, NO.

THAT WOULD BE LOVELY, BUT ARNOLD BROWN.

UH-HUH. OK, GOTCHA.

GOOD EVENING. I'LL TRY TO GET THROUGH THIS AS FAST AS I CAN.

MR. MAYOR, I APPRECIATE OUR CONVERSATION PRIOR TO THIS MEETING ABOUT THE CONCERNS WE HAVE ON EMERSON. JUST TO RECALL, I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS.

WE'VE HAD FOUR TRAFFIC DEATHS HEADING NORTH AND AT LEAST 11 PROPERTY DAMAGES.

MY CONCERN IS THE BALANCE OF THE THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY EIGHT HOMES GOING UP IN ST.

BRIER AND THE PROJECTED 357 HOMES THAT HEATHER L.L.C.

WANT TO BUILD IF MY MATH IS CORRECT IS 685 HOMES TIMES TWO CARS, RIGHT? I DON'T SEE ANYTHING OTHER THAN TWO CAR GARAGES GOING UP.

IT'S ONE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY CARS OR ACCORDING TO THE CENSUS FROM 2015 2019 PALM BAY.

THAT'S ONE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED SIXTY THREE PEOPLE.

ALSO IN THEIR PROPOSED EXIT AND ENTRANCE IS GOING TO BE RIGHT NEXT TO OURS, AND I'M GOING TO START NAMING THAT AREA RIGHT NOW, THE SUICIDE CURVE WHEN WE COME OUT BECAUSE IT IS JUST ABYSMAL AND IT'S DANGEROUS.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS GOING TO TALK ABOUT A FEW THINGS, BUT I'M GOING TO SWITCH GEARS A LITTLE BIT. FIRST OF ALL, WHAT REALLY HELPS IS THE IS THE PORTABLE RADAR STATIONS THAT I WORK WITH JEFFREY SPEARS AND GET IN.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE MORE THAN ONE, BUT MAYBE I'LL BANG UP.

PROCUREMENT TEAM CAN SOURCE ANOTHER ONE TO GET IN THERE BECAUSE WHEN I HAVE IT IN MY

[01:35:01]

SO IF YOU GUYS CAN LOOK INTO THAT, I'D BE GREAT.

ONE THING I FOUND HERE, FIRST OF ALL, I PLAN ON ORGANIZING ALL 17 HIGHWAYS TO RESIST ZONING IN BAYSIDE LAKES.

THAT'S MY JOB. I HAVE A PRETTY GOOD TEAM AND WE WANT TO GET IT DONE.

BUT WHEN I SAT HERE WATCHING WHAT'S GOING ON, THERE'S A LOT OF MOMENTUM GOING UP HERE NOW. THERE IS A LOT OF POSITIVE MOMENTUM IN THE GREATEST CITY CITY IN AMERICA, RIGHT? SO WHAT WHERE ARE WE GOING TO BE IF YOU I HAVE MY COMMITTEE PRESIDENT HERE OR DIRECTOR SAID SOMETHING TO ME YESTERDAY THAT IF YOU TAKE AWAY THE GOLF COURSE, THE ONLY THING YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE IN PALM BAY IS HOMES.

WHAT HAPPENS, LET'S SAY, SIX MONTHS OR A YEAR FROM NOW, THERE'S NO GOLF COURSE THERE.

WHAT A NEGATIVE STIGMA THAT'S GOING TO BE ON THE CITY.

I MEAN, COME ON, WHAT IS THERE? WE'RE GOING TO PITCHES THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY PRESENTED.

I PLAY VERY BADLY.

I PLAY LIKE FOUR TIMES A YEAR.

I SAW THREE EAGLES THE OTHER DAY.

YOU WANT TO TAKE THAT AWAY, YOU KNOW, SO HELP US HERE.

LET'S DO THE RIGHT THING.

I THINK THAT'S ALL I HAVE RIGHT NOW, BUT BASICALLY, I'M GOING TO TELL YOU, YOU ALL HAVE THE PLANS OF THE PROPOSAL OF REZONING.

IF NOT, I'M GOING TO SEND ALL YOU COPY THE PLAN SO YOU CAN LOOK AT WHAT THOSE 400 OR 350 SEVEN HOMES. ALL I CAN, I'LL GET THAT TO YOU TOMORROW.

SO PLEASE FOCUS ON THIS.

THANK YOU, MR. ARNOLD. FOLLOWED BY PASTOR KEN DELGADO.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SORRY ABOUT MY PENMANSHIP, IT'S NOT THE BEST HAIR COUNCILMAN.

I'M WONDERING FIRST TIME I'VE EVER BEEN HERE, VERY IMPRESSIVE.

WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE? I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE ONLY ALLOWED THREE YARD SALES IN A YEAR.

WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO INCREASE THAT? IS THERE A CHANCE TO GET, YOU KNOW, MAYBE ONE A MONTH? I WAS REPORTED BECAUSE WE END UP BUYING STORAGE UNITS THAT PEOPLE DON'T PAY.

SO WE HAVE A LOT OF YARD SALES AND WE DO DONATE A LOT OF STUFF TO CEDA AND ON U.S.

ONE GOODWILL.

A LOT OF FOOD AND STUFF LIKE THAT THAT WE GET IN THESE STORAGE UNITS.

AND THE GENTLEMAN WAS VERY NICE THAT CAME BY THE HOUSE AND I TOLD HIM, NO PROBLEM.

YEAH, WE PROBABLY ALMOST HAVE ONE EVERY OTHER WEEK, YOU KNOW, SO WE'VE GOT TO STOP IT.

BUT WHAT IS IT POSSIBLE? IS THERE A REASON WHY YOU CAN ONLY HAVE THREE IN A YEAR? I'M JUST CURIOUS. WELL, I'LL LET MADAME SHERMAN.

WELL, I JUST ACTUALLY LOOKED UP THE ORDINANCE SINCE YOU MENTIONED THAT I WAS I HAD NO FEAR WITH IT. IT'S ONE 14 OH, ONE POINT OH ONE.

AND IT IT DOES SAY THAT ONLY TWO GARAGE SALE EVENTS ARE ALLOWED PER RESIDENTS PER CALENDAR YEAR. I THOUGHT IT WAS THREE SORRY, AND EACH SALES EVENT FOR EACH ADDRESS SHALL NOT EXCEED THREE CONSECUTIVE DAYS SHALL BE CONDUCTED DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS ONLY.

THIS ORDINANCE, LET'S SEE, WAS ADOPTED BACK IN.

LOOKS LIKE 1990.

WOW. SO THAT WOULD BE THE LAST TIME IT WAS UPDATED.

SO WHAT CAN BE DONE IS WE COULD LOOK AT THAT IF COUNCILS SO DESIRES, BUT WE COULD DEFINITELY LOOK AT HOW WE CAN IMPROVE THAT ORDINANCE BECAUSE BASICALLY WE SET EVERYTHING UP ON OUR DRIVEWAY.

KAREN, SHE'S GOT TABLECLOTHS ALL ON TOP OF THE TABLE, SO IT'S NOT JUST THROWN OUT LIKE THAT ONE HOUSE. YOU KNOW, HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A RESIDENT OF PALM BAY SINCE? NINETEEN SIXTY SEVEN, SIR? SO BACK IN NINETEEN NINETY, I REMEMBER THAT THERE WAS A DISCREPANCY WITH EVERYONE WANTING TO HAVE A LOT OF GARAGE SALES, BUT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE COULD DEFINITELY LOOK INTO.

SO WE'LL WE'LL SEE BECAUSE WE BASICALLY DO IT FOR FUN.

I'M RETIRED.

YOU'RE ON SOCIAL SECURITY, LIVE HERE SINCE NINETEEN SIXTY SEVEN GRADUATED FROM MELBOURNE HIGH IN SEVENTY FOUR AND IT'S A GREAT CITY.

I RECRUIT IT UP IN MICHIGAN.

WAS IN THE MILITARY, ALWAYS WANTED TO COME BACK TO FLORIDA T-SHIRTS, SHORTS AND FLIP FLOPS. IT'S WHERE TO LIVE.

AND YOU KNOW, I JUST I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, AND YOU KNOW, WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL? I THINK THERE'S A LOT MORE IMPORTANT THINGS AND WE'RE IN ABOUT SOMEBODY SETTING UP YARD SALES. I MEAN, I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

JUST CURIOUS. SO I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER THE INTENT OF THAT ORDINANCE, BUT MAYBE WE COULD FIGURE THAT OUT AS WELL.

OK. IS THERE ANYBODY I CAN FOLLOW UP WITH OR DO WE? ABSOLUTELY. YOU OK? ALL RIGHT. OK, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME, SIR.

BEST CITY IN THE WORLD, RIGHT? THAT'S PASTOR KIM DELGADO.

AND FINALLY, WILL BE BUTCH ARAN.

YES, IT'S ON.

THERE'S SOMETHING ON THE DECK.

PLEASE SPEAK DIRECTLY INTO THE MICROPHONE.

IS THAT WHAT IT TO THE COVER OR THE COVER IS GONE?

[01:40:01]

YEAH, IT'S ON. KEN DELGADO ONE FIVE FOUR ANGELO ROAD SOUTHEAST IN PALM BAY.

AND I REALLY BELIEVE PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO THINK THIS IS THE GREATEST CITY IN AMERICA.

JUST A THOUGHT. 1ST JOHN, CHAPTER THREE AND READING FROM VERSE 16 ON LAST TIME WE MET TOGETHER HERE IN THIS BEAUTIFUL CHURCH, I MEAN A CHAMBERS, WE FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS AN INSTRUCTION BOOKLET AND HOW GREAT AN INSTRUCTION BOOKLET IT IS.

AND SO IT SAYS BY THIS WE KNOW LOVE BECAUSE HE JESUS LAID DOWN HIS LIFE FOR US.

AND WE ALSO OUGHT TO LAY DOWN OUR LIVES FOR OUR BRETHREN.

BUT WHOEVER HAS THIS WORLD'S GOODS AND SEES HIS BROTHER IN NEED AND SHUTS UP HIS HEART FROM HIM, HOW DOES THE LOVE OF GOD ABIDE IN HIM? WHAT A BEAUTIFUL STATEMENT ABOUT SHARING THE GIFTS THAT ONE HAS IN HELPING ONE ANOTHER.

I THINK THIS REPRESENTS THIS CITY SO VERY WELL THAT WE REALLY DO CARE ONE FOR ANOTHER.

I SEE FOR AN EXAMPLE, THE PROCLAMATIONS OF TODAY THE FIRE FIGHTERS.

THAT IS A COMMUNITY THAT SHOWS THAT THEY CARE ABOUT PALM BAY.

I SEE THE RED CROSS READ ACROSS AMERICA.

ROLLING READERS, SPACE COAST.

TRYING TO TOUCH CHILDREN.

THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT REALLY CARE ABOUT THE BROTHERS.

I SEE THE PROCLAMATION OF HEMOPHILIA AND THE BLEEDING DISORDER, HOW SOMEONE REALLY IS TRYING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE, LOVING THE BROTHER AS ONESELF.

WHAT A GREAT STATEMENT.

PROCUREMENT MONTH.

MY WIFE BELIEVES IT'S A PROCUREMENT YEAR.

WHAT A GREAT MOMENT TO LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR MY WIFE.

JESUS LAID DOWN HIS LIFE BECAUSE HE CARED ABOUT PEOPLE.

I THINK WE ALL HAVE THAT TYPE OF MENTALITY.

WE CAN CHANGE AND REALLY MAKE PALM BAY THE BEST CITY IN ALL OF AMERICA.

WE MIGHT EVEN CARE ABOUT PEOPLE HOLDING ON TO THEIR GOLF COURSE, CARING FOR THEM ALSO.

JUST A THOUGHT. THE REALITY THAT.

WHEN I LEARNED HOW TO LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR OTHER PEOPLE.

LIFE REALLY BEGAN.

WHEN I STOP THINKING ABOUT MYSELF FIRST AND START THINKING OF OTHERS, IF IN THIS COUNTY, WE JUST START THINKING ABOUT OTHERS FIRST BEFORE WE THINK ABOUT OURSELVES LIKE OUR POLICE FORCE DOES. I THINK WE WILL HAVE THE GREATEST CITY IN ALL OF AMERICA.

GOD BLESS YOU. YOU.

BUT YOU IN.

PUT YOUR ARM TO 19 TRENTON AVENUE HERE IN PALM BAY.

FIRST THING I'D LIKE TO SAY, THANKS TO WHOEVER DID THE PERMITTING CHANGE FOR PUTTING UP A FENCE ON YOUR OWN PROPERTY.

IT'S A SIMPLE PROCESS.

IF YOU WALK OVER TO THE OFFICE, YOU'RE MAKING A DRAWING.

THEY STAMP IT. YOU'RE GOOD.

IT ELIMINATES A LOT OF COSTS, PUTTING UP A FENCE WHEN A CITIZEN CAN DO IT HIMSELF.

SO THANK YOU GUYS FOR THAT.

WHOEVER DID THAT, SO THE OTHER THING IS LAND CLEARING ON SINGLE LOTS.

THESE COMPANIES ARE COMING INTO THE NEIGHBORHOODS.

WHEN THEY GET DONE, IT LOOKS LIKE HIROSHIMA ON THAT LOT.

THERE'S NOTHING LEFT, NOTHING.

THEY HAVE NO RESPECT FOR NEIGHBOR'S PROPERTY.

LINES, IF THERE'S A LIMIT PROTRUDES OVER, THEY'LL COME OVER ON YOUR PROPERTY.

CUT THAT LIMB RIGHT OFF.

THEY CLEAR EVERY LIVING THING ON THE LOT, AND IT JUST SITS THERE.

THEY DON'T PUT UP THAT ENVIRONMENTAL FENCE REASON THEY GET BY WITH IT, IT'S A SINGLE LOT.

THEY HAVE NO, NO GUIDANCE FROM THE CITY AS TO YOU NEED TO CLEAN UP YOUR MESS WHERE THE STREET OFF OF THE LIMBS.

THE OTHER THING, THE BUILDING OF NEW HOMES.

THERE'S HOMES HERE IN THE CITY THAT ARE SEVEN FOOT ABOVE THEIR NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE.

EVERYONE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, THE LADY PUT A SIX FOOT FENCE ON HER HOUSE.

HER WINDOWS ARE AT THE TOP LEVEL.

[01:45:05]

YOU CAN LOOK RIGHT INTO OUR HOUSE.

THEY CLAIM IT'S BECAUSE OF SKEPTICS.

I TALKED TO THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH.

YOU ONLY NEED 24 INCHES ABOVE THE HIGH LEVEL WATER MARK.

I FEEL IS WAY ABOVE THAT.

SO IF I DON'T KNOW, THERE'S ALL KIND OF REGULATIONS TO COVER THE BUILDING OF THOSE HOMES.

I JUST CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY HAVE TO BE SO HIGH.

AND IF YOU DRIVE THROUGH THE HISTORICAL NEIGHBORHOODS.

AND YOU SEE THIS HOUSE UP HERE AND RIGHT NEXT DOOR, YOU'VE GOT A 900 SQUARE FOOT HOUSE.

IT'S LIKE THE KING AND THE PAUPER.

SO SOMEBODY COULD EDUCATE ME ON THAT.

I'D LIKE AN ANSWER THERE.

USE OF ACRONYMS WHEN YOU GUYS ARE GIVEN PRESENTATIONS.

WE DON'T UNDERSTAND HALF OF THEM.

NASA HAVE NO IDEA.

SO IF YOU COULD PUT A LITTLE DEFINITION BEHIND THOSE APPRECIATED.

THE CHARGING STATIONS.

WHO'S GOING TO PAY THE ELECTRIC BILL FOR THOSE CHARGING STATIONS? THEY'RE GOING TO BE CITY PROPERTY OR HOW'S THAT GOING TO WORK? THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

YOU'RE WELCOME. LAST, BUT I WANTED TO TALK.

I'D LIKE TO GET THEM SOME ANSWERS REGARDING THE ELEVATION, SO IF HE COULD.

I LIKE MADAME SHERMAN.

CAN YOU DIRECT STAFF? THE SYSTEM WITH THAT, SIR, I'LL HAVE A COUPLE, I'LL HAVE JONES START BECAUSE THERE ARE SEVERAL QUESTIONS. SOME WILL BE FROM PUBLIC WORKS AND OTHERS WILL BE FROM THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT, SO WE'LL GET SOME ANSWERS FOR THEM.

OK, I APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF THE FOLKS FROM THE MAJORS ARE THAT SPOKE ABOUT THE GOLF COURSE.

I I THOUGHT I WANTED TO END THAT WHEN WE HAD ALL THE PUBLIC HEARING.

WE'RE NOT WE'RE NOT VISITING THAT TODAY.

SO THAT WILL PROBABLY COME BEFORE COUNCILMAN.

I'M THINKING SOMETIME IN MAY.

DO WE KNOW YET OR WE DO NOT HAVE A DATE YET SET FOR WHEN THAT WILL COME BEFORE PLANNING AND ZONING, WHICH IS THE FIRST STEP.

SO THAT HAS NOT ACTUALLY BEEN DETERMINED.

ONCE WE KNOW THAT, THEN WE'LL KNOW FOLLOWING THAT WHEN IT MIGHT COME TO COUNCIL.

BUT THAT IS THE FUTURE LAND USE ISSUE AS WELL, RIGHT? YES, THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING. THAT'S WHAT THE APPLICATION WAS RELATED TO.

DID YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION FOR ME? NO, SIR. OK, THANKS, COACH.

THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU.

BUT BUTCH, I WANTED YOU TO GET WITH OUR DEPUTY CITY MANAGER TO GET THOSE ANSWERS FOR YOU.

RIGHT, SIR? LASTLY, IT'S GOING TO BE STEVE SHAPIRO.

HELLO. CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES, SIR. GREAT.

I WANT TO THANK YOU.

GREAT COUNCIL MEMBERS OF THE WORLD.

AND I'M STEVE SHAPIRO, A BOARD MEMBER OF A H.O.H COMMUNITY.

SO I HAVE MY EYES ON YOU, MR. FOSTER. WE, IN FACT, HAVE ONE OF THE OLDEST HOME COMMUNITIES.

I BELIEVE IN BERMUDA TO WALK.

CONSTRUCTION PERMITS WENT IN EFFECT IN 1983.

THE FIRST HOUSE WAS BUILT IN 88.

AND I'M HERE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT OUR STORMWATER SYSTEM, AND I KNOW FROM THE PAST THAT YOU HAVE MANY PEOPLE COME IN HERE AND TALK ABOUT STORMWATER SYSTEMS. WE DON'T HAVE A NEW SYSTEM LIKE WHAT'S GOING AROUND IN THE COMMUNITIES HERE, BUT A GOLF COURSE. THOSE SYSTEMS ARE INDEPENDENT SYSTEMS THAT ARE MADE TO JUST TAKE THE DRAINAGE FROM THE COMMUNITY RIGHT INTO THEIR POND AND RIGHT OUT INTO THE STREAMS AND PALM BAY BACK IN THE 80S. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ENGINEERING WAS CONCEPT WAS, BUT THEY DEVELOPED OUR STORMWATER SYSTEM FROM AN INFLOW FROM THE TOWN, FROM WEST TO EAST.

WE'RE WAY EAST, ALMOST TOWARDS THE RIVER.

SO WHEN IT RAINS, WE GET INFLOW FROM THE CHANNEL THAT COMES INTO OUR SYSTEM.

AND WITH IT COMES SEDIMENT GARBAGE BRANCHES.

AND WE ALSO HAVE A COMMUNITY OF PRIVATE HOMES AROUND US THAT WE CAN'T TOUCH, AND NEITHER DOES THE CITY THEY DON'T COME IN.

THE LAST TIME I SPOKE TO THE UTILITIES DEPARTMENT WAS IN 2016.

THEY CAME IN ONE TIME, HELP CLEAN OUT THE GARBAGE AND DISAPPEARED.

SO THAT'S PART OF OUR PROBLEM IS THAT WE HAVE AN OLD SYSTEM AND IT'S 38 YEARS OLD.

THE SECOND PART OF THIS PROBLEM IS I WAS DOING SOME RESEARCH FOR THE COMMUNITY AND WE CAME ACROSS RECORDS AND INFORMATION.

I GAVE THAT TO YOU IN THE FOLDERS.

APPARENTLY, THE BUILDER OF OUR COMMUNITY WENT TO PRISON.

HE WAS CONVICTED OF FRAUD, I THINK, IN PALM BAY IN THE EARLY 90S, AND I UNDERSTAND HE WAS ON 60 MINUTES AND THERE WAS AN INTERVIEW ABOUT HOW HE PAID.

[01:50:05]

SO I BELIEVE THAT'S WHY HE WENT TO PRISON, BUT I'M NOT SURE.

BUT THIS BUILDER WAS A CHARACTER, AND APPARENTLY HE NEVER TRANSFERRED THE CORRECT PERMIT PAPERS TO THE TOWN IN ORDER TO GIVE THE STORMWATER SYSTEM TO THE HOME LIKE THEY DO NOW WITH THE NEW WAY TO. AND APPARENTLY WE BEEN TOLD BY PALM BAY TO KEEP TAKING CARE OF THE SYSTEM. AND WE BELIEVE THAT WE SEE THROUGH BANKRUPTCY THAT PALM BAY WAS MADE AS THE PERSON TO TAKE CARE OF THE SYSTEM FOR 100 YEARS.

SO IN THE FOLDER, YOU'LL SEE ITEMS NINETEEN NINETY TWO.

A SETTLEMENT WAS REACHED WITH PALM BAY.

IF YOU COULD TRY TO VERIFY THAT IN CASE RECORDS IN TWO THOUSAND FOUR BANKRUPTCY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE. I DON'T THINK THEY UP TO YOU.

BUT YES, SIR. TIME'S UP, MR. SHAPIRO. YES, SIR.

YOU'VE GIVEN US THESE DOCUMENTS.

I'M GOING TO HAVE STAFF LOOK INTO THIS, OUR CITY MANAGER, AND THEY'LL BE IN TOUCH WITH YOU. OK, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU, MRS. SHAPIRO.

NOW IS YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION, AND WE DID GIVE THAT.

ALL RIGHT, SIR. THEY'LL REACH OUT TO YOU.

THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD.

THAT'S THE END OF PUBLIC COMMENT.

SO I'M GOING TO DEFER TO MADAM SMITH.

WE'RE ON PUBLIC HEARINGS AT THIS TIME.

PROVIDING FOR A COMMENCEMENT PERIOD, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING. ASK THE APPLICANT TO STEP FORWARD AND PRESENT THEIR CASE.

I'VE. GOOD EVENING, ANA SAUNDERS WITH BSE CONSULTANTS 3:12 SOUTH HARBOR CITY BOULEVARD, MELBOURNE, FLORIDA THREE TWO NINE ZERO ONE.

MY APOLOGIES. I PICKED UP THE ORANGE FORM.

IT WAS A BRIGHTER COLOR, SO I JUST TURNED IN THE CORRECT BLUE QUASI JUDICIAL FORM.

JUST WANTED TO ASK YOU TONIGHT TO CONSIDER THE CONDITIONAL USE APPROVAL FOR THIS PROPERTY. A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, WE WERE BEFORE YOU REQUESTING THE ZONING FOR COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL, THE CC, A COMMERCIAL DISTRICT, AND IT'S A SELF-STORAGE FACILITY.

THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF HOMES SLATED IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA, SO WE THINK THIS WOULD BE A REALLY GREAT USE OF SPACE OUT THERE, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE INFLUX OF FOLKS FROM THE NORTH. WHEN THEY START REALIZING THAT THE GARAGE ISN'T EXACTLY THE BASEMENT THEY HAD UP NORTH, YOU KNOW THE STORAGE WILL COME IN HANDY.

THE FACILITY IS SELF-CONTAINED.

IT LOOKS LIKE A COMMERCIAL USE BUILDING.

THERE SHOULD BE SOME PHOTOS IN YOUR PACKET TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.

IT'S A VERY LOW IMPACT.

USE LOW NOISE, LOW TRAFFIC GENERATOR.

SO WE REALLY FEEL THIS LOCATION IN PARTICULAR AND THE USE OF THE STORAGE FACILITY WILL BE A. A GOOD MARRYING OF USES FOR THE SURROUNDING HIGH SCHOOL, THE COMMERCIAL AREA JUST TO THE EAST OF IT, AND ALSO THE SINGLE FAMILY HOME.

THE OWNER AND OPERATOR AND DEVELOPER IS HERE WITH ME THIS EVENING IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF HIM.

IF YOU'VE GOT ANY QUESTIONS OF ME, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.

MA'AM, I APPRECIATE THE BUFFER OR THE.

WALL THAT YOU GUYS ARE CONSTRUCTING.

YES, SIR, AND I ALSO LIKE TO ADD THE STAFF COMMENTS THAT ARE THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND TO PUT THE FENCE THE OPAQUE FENCE, WE AGREE WITH ALL THOSE CONDITIONS AS WELL.

ANY QUESTIONS, COUNSEL OF THE APPLICANT? THANK YOU, MA'AM. YOU LIKE THIS, SIR? YES, HI. SORRY, I HAD TO LOWER IT, I'M A LITTLE SHORT.

WE COULD BRING IT DOWN. JUST GIVE US A SECOND.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR AND COUNCIL FOR HAVING US HERE TODAY.

I JUST WANT TO EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR COMPANY AND AND IN PARTICULAR, MY DAD.

HE'S THE OWNER AND HE'S A GENERAL CONTRACTOR AS WELL.

HIS NAME IS GERRY CORVINO.

HE HAS BEEN A CONTRACTOR FOR OVER 40 PLUS YEARS, BUILDING PRIMARILY STORAGE FACILITIES.

HE HAS BUILT OVER 130 STORAGE FACILITIES THROUGHOUT FLORIDA AND THE SOUTHEAST, IN ADDITION TO SHOPPING CENTERS, RESTAURANTS, ETC..

SO WE DEFINITELY KNOW THE RIGHT WAY TO DO IT.

AS ANNA MENTIONED, WHY STORAGE IS THE BEST POSSIBLE USE FOR THIS OF THIS PARCEL.

IT'S VERY MINIMAL TRAFFIC.

WE ONLY SEE 30 TO 40 CARS PER DAY WHEN COMPARED TO GROCERY AND FAST FOOD AND WHATNOT.

THERE CAN BE THOUSANDS A DAY.

IT'S A CLASS-A FACILITY, SO IT'S NOT LIKE THE FACILITIES THAT YOU'VE SEEN IN THE THE 80S AND 90S. THEY'RE THERE, YOU KNOW, THREE STORY CONCRETE FIRST CLASS.

THERE'S NO LOITERING AT THE STORAGE FACILITIES.

IT'S A STATIC BUILDING.

NOTHING REALLY TO SEE HERE.

TOP NOTCH SECURITY.

THERE'S 30 TO 40 CAMERAS.

THERE'S KEYPADS, GATES, ET CETERA, AND NO NOISE, WHICH IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE YOU HAVE RESIDENTS RIGHT THERE.

THERE WILL BE MORE, I'M SURE, IN THE FUTURE, AS WELL AS HERITAGE HIGH SCHOOL, SO OTHER RETAILERS WILL BE RECEIVING DELIVERIES AND WHATNOT AT NIGHT.

WE DON'T. IT'S JUST A STATIC BUILDING.

THE TAX IMPACT IS GREAT.

VERY, VERY STRONG.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, IT'S IT'S NEEDED.

AS ANNA MENTIONED, THERE'S MANY, MANY HOMES GOING UP IN THE AREA, AND THE CLOSEST STORAGE FACILITY THAT'S CURRENTLY UP IS FOUR POINT FOUR MILES AWAY.

THAT'S THE EXTRA SPACE ON MALABAR.

SO THAT'S ALL I JUST WANT TO SAY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SO I HAD A QUESTION, SIR.

[02:00:02]

IF YOU WOULD CONSIDER THAT THAT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE SO SELF CONTAINING, I THINK IT WOULD BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY AS AS YOU FOCUS ON, YOU KNOW, PROVIDING ILLUMINATION DOWN THAT CORRIDOR, SIR OF MALABAR ROAD.

ABSOLUTELY. COUNCILMAN FELIX YOU WANTED TO WEIGH IN.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. I APPRECIATE THAT IS MY VERY I WANTED TO TOUCH ON THAT AS WELL.

AND ONE OTHER THING, AS THE MAYOR SAID, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S IMPORTANT TO ME AND IT'S PERSONAL TO ME AS WELL.

IF YOU EVER DRIVEN IN OUR CITY, SOME EVEN SOME OLD MEN CORRIDORS ARE VERY DARK.

AND SO THIS IS SOMETHING I ENCOURAGE OR AS YOU DEVELOP AND KEEP THAT IN CONSIDERATION AND POTENTIALLY SIDEWALKS AS WELL.

YES, IN THE FRONTAGE OF THE MARLBORO FACING OF THE OF THE DEVELOPMENT.

AND JUST PLEASE TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION.

YES, THANK YOU. ABSOLUTELY.

EXCUSE ME, COUNCILMAN FOSTER HAS A QUESTION.

I'M. THE PROPERTY.

UM. GOING TOWARDS ST.

JOHN'S PARKWAY, THAT'S ALL GREEN SPACE IS THAT'S GOING TO BE DEVELOPED BY YOU OR SOMEONE ELSE. IT'S CURRENTLY TO BE DETERMINED IF THERE MAY BE A PHASE TWO OR WHATNOT.

AND OBVIOUSLY WE WOULD COME BEFORE YOU ALL TO, YOU KNOW, YOU DO THAT.

IT'S GOING TO BE THE SAME STORAGE SPACE OR SOMETHING.

I'M JUST CURRENTLY NOT YET.

NO, NO, SIR. BUT IT COULD BE.

YES, IT COULD BE.

WHO? I CAN ECHO IN COUNCILMAN FELIX ILLUMINATIONS, VERY IMPORTANT.

I DON'T LIVE TOO FAR FROM THIS LOCATION AND I DRIVE THERE AT NIGHT AND IT'S VERY DARK.

A COW MIGHT JUMP OUT.

YEAH, AND THEY GOT COWS ON THAT PROPERTY, RIGHT? SO THAT'S WHY.

AND I ACTUALLY DRIVEN IN NORTH CAROLINA AND CAME DOWN THE ROAD AND A COWARD STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, AND YOU COULDN'T SEE IT UNTIL YOU GOT THAT CLOSE UP ON IT.

AND I KNOW YOU GOT CATTLE ON THAT PROPERTY, SO.

YEAH, ILLUMINATION IS VERY IMPORTANT, ESPECIALLY IF A HIGH SCHOOL EVENT OR THINGS GOING ON IN THE EVENING, IT'S GOING TO BE SOME TRAFFIC PASSING.

YOU'RE SOMEBODY TRYING TO GET IN OR GET OUT.

DID YOU SEE THAT DRIVER? SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR DEVELOPMENT IN OUR CITY.

THANK YOU, SIR.

A COUNCIL, ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF REGARDING THIS ITEM? DEPUTY MAYOR ETHAN WHITE.

THIS EVENING, NATHAN WHITE, 13 OH, ONE, SEABURY STREET, SOUTHWEST PALM BAY.

I'M. TO PUT IT SIMPLY, I DO NOT AGREE WITH THE ASSERTION THAT THIS WOULD BE A GOOD.

BUT THIS WOULD BE A GOOD CHOICE FOR THIS LAND.

I AM A FIRM BELIEVER AND THIS COMES UP IN MANY CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH I SPEAK ON, IN MY MIND AT LEAST, THAT A PERSON IS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO DO WITH THEIR LAND.

THE MOST PART, AS THEY WISH.

BUT AS A CONDITIONAL USE WOULD BE REQUIRED TO BE OBTAINED.

THE CITY HAVE THE ROLE TO PLAY AND I DO NOT BELIEVE IT WOULD BE IN THE INTEREST OF THE CITY TO APPROVE A SELF-STORAGE FACILITY, ESPECIALLY AT THIS SCALE IN THIS LOCATION.

ASIDE FROM THE LEGISLATIVE MEMORANDA STATING THAT IT'S LOCATED NORTH OF HERITAGE HIGH SCHOOL WHEN IT IS SOUTH I'VE HERITAGE HIGH SCHOOL, IT IS ALSO DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF IT.

IF YOU LOOKED AT IT THE WRONG WAY, YOU'D YOU'D THINK THAT THEY WERE BUILT.

THEY WOULD BE BUILDING IT IF YOU SAW IT BEING BUILT.

YOU'D SEE THEM AND THINK THEY WERE BUILDING IT IN HERITAGE AS FRONT YARD.

IT'S ESSENTIALLY INSIDE OF THEIR BUS LOOP.

AND IT IS ALSO TO TO.

WE'RE NOT THE GENTLEMAN'S POINT.

THAT AREA IS ONLY LOW TRAFFIC OR WOULD BE LOW TRAFFIC BECAUSE IT IS AT THE MOMENT UNDEVELOPED, AND THAT IS PARTIALLY BECAUSE THE ONLY THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED AROUND THERE HAS BEEN RESIDENTIAL.

I'M. INCLUDING THINGS, A LOT OF THINGS BEING ZONED TO RESIDENTIAL FROM OTHER ZONING,

[02:05:06]

THIS IS A PRIME LOCATION FOR MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF COMMERCIAL BUSINESSES.

YES, IT IS INDEED A VERY PRIME LOCATION FOR SELF-STORAGE FACILITY.

BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE IT WOULD BE IN THE BENEFIT OF THE CITY OR OF THE AREA.

WE DON'T WANT ANOTHER.

WE DON'T WANT A REPEAT OF STORAGE FACILITIES BEING PLACED IN UNDESIRABLE LOCATIONS THAT PALM BAY HAS HAD TO DEAL WITH BEFORE.

I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD STAY COMMERCIAL, AND I BELIEVE IT WILL BE DEVELOPED SOON, EVEN IF THIS IS NOT APPROVED TONIGHT.

AND I DO AGAIN, JUST WANT TO RESTATE, I DON'T THINK THIS IS THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR THAT LOCATION. AND WE, OF COURSE, NEED SELF STORAGE.

EVERYBODY DOES, BUT NOT HERE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

YOU KNOW, THE CARDS WITH THE APPLICANT LIKE TO ADDRESS OR REBUT THE COMMENTS, CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THE PUBLIC COMMENTS.

WE DO FEEL THAT IT'S A GOOD USE FOR SELF STORAGE.

I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT REGARDLESS OF WHERE A SELF-STORAGE FACILITY GOES BECAUSE OF THE USE OF SELF-STORAGE, IT'S REQUIRED TO COME BEFORE YOU AS A CONDITIONAL USE DOESN'T MATTER THE ZONING CATEGORY.

SO WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR ANYTHING SPECIFIC BECAUSE OF THIS LOCATION.

THE SELF STORAGE AS A USE IN ITSELF IS A CONDITIONAL USE ITEM.

AS FAR AS THE TRAFFIC GOES WITH RESPECT TO INDICATING THAT IT'S A LOW TRAFFIC GENERATOR, THE THE IT THE TRIP GENERATION MANUAL THAT ALL THE TRAFFIC ENGINEERING SERVICES ARE BOUND BY. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE REFERRING TO, AND WE TALKED TO A LOW GENERATION RATE.

I DON'T HAVE THOSE NUMBERS IN FRONT OF ME AT THE MOMENT, SO I APOLOGIZE.

BUT ON THE SCALE, IT'S 30 OR 40 TRIPS A DAY, SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES AS OPPOSED TO, YOU KNOW, THE MULTIPLE TRIPS THAT WOULD COME IN AND OUT OF A SHOPPING CENTER OR A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL MARKET TO TALK SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE COMMERCIAL USES IN THE AREA IN THIS AREA. IF YOU WERE TO GO UP TO THE INTERSECTION OF EMERSON AND THE PARKWAY, THE COMMERCIAL COMPONENT THAT IS THERE COME SOUTH AND GO ABOUT A HALF A MILE EAST OF OF THIS INTERSECTION OF THE MALABAR ROAD AND PARKWAY INTERCHANGE THERE.

WE'VE GOT ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY ONE ACRES OF COMMERCIALLY ZONED PROPERTY JUST IN THAT SECTOR. THIS IS NINE POINT SEVENTY FIVE ACRES OF THAT.

SO RESPECTFULLY, I WOULD DISAGREE AND SAY THAT THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT, MORE SIGNIFICANT AREAS TO CREATE THOSE COMMERCIAL CORRIDORS AND USES SPECIFICALLY RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO US IN THAT 15 ACRE PIECE THAT'S CURRENTLY IN THE CITY FOR THEIR PRE-APPLICATION REVIEW.

AND SHERMAN COUNCILMAN FOSTER.

LIKE I TOLD THE DEVELOPER THAT I DON'T LIVE TOO FAR FROM THERE AND I TRAVEL THAT ROAD A LOT. I.

I UNDERSTAND THE NEED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT THAT THE MODEL HOUSES ARE GOING UP IN THAT AREA, ESPECIALLY OFF ST.

JOHN'S HERITAGE PARKWAY.

THERE'S A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT AND.

RIGHT. UH, ABOVE HARRIS'S HIGH SCHOOL, THERE'S A WHOLE NEW SUBDIVISION GOING.

AM I CORRECT? CORRECT.

IT'S JUST TO THE EAST OF IT.

YES, SIR. JUST TO THE EAST AND YOU COME DOWN MALABAR ROAD, THERE'S MORE SUBDIVISIONS GOING UP. SO ALL THEM PEOPLE GOING DOWN PALM BAY ROAD TO TRY TO STORE SOMETHING WOULD BE CRAZY. IT WOULDN'T BE MY FIRST CHOICE.

IT WOULD BE MY FIRST CHOICE.

IF I NEED TO STORE SOMETHING, I'D BE GOING TO YOUR PROPERTY BECAUSE THAT'S THE CLOSEST THING TO ME. I AGREE WITH YOU AND WE'RE HOPING THE SAME THING, RIGHT? YEAH, SORT OF PUT IT IN MY GARAGE, LIKE YOU SAID SO.

BUT DO YOU PARTICULARLY PARTICULARLY PARTICULARLY FIND? THE STORAGE AREAS AND DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITIES LIKE THIS, WHEN YOU HAVE LARGE POCKET OR LIKE LARGE AREAS OF DEVELOPMENT OF SINGLE FAMILY, YES, I MEAN, YOU DO.

IT'S NOT UNUSUAL TO SEE ONE OR TWO.

AND SOME OF THE LARGER DEVELOP AREAS YOU CAN HAVE, YOU KNOW, TWO ON A ON EVERY ONE ON OPPOSITE CORNERS. IF YOU WILL SORT OF THINK OF LIKE THE CVS AND THE WALGREENS OF THE DAY, PEOPLE WANT TO BE ABLE TO TURN RIGHT OR LEFT DEPENDING ON WHICH WAY THEY'RE COMING HOME.

AND SO JUST DEPENDS ON THE MARKET DEMAND.

AND WHEN YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AND MULTIFAMILY HOMES IN, YOU KNOW, A SPECIFIC AREA, THE STORAGE USE IS VERY WELL RECEIVED AND WELL REGARDED AND WELL USED BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THE KMART USED TO BE KMART ON PALM BAY ROAD AND BABCOCK.

YES, SIR. NOT A U-HAUL STORAGE FACILITY.

AND I NEVER THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS THAT WILL WORK.

NOW YOU CAN'T EVEN CAN'T EVEN DRIVE THROUGH THE PARKING LOT THROUGH FILLED UP WITH

[02:10:01]

THE ONE THING I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT THE DIFFERENCE.

WHILE THEY'RE BOTH STORAGE USES.

THIS IS NOT WHAT THAT FACILITY WILL LOOK LIKE.

WE ARE A IT LOOKS LIKE A COMMERCIAL BUILDING WHEN YOU DRIVE DRIVE BY, THERE ARE ONE STORAGE COMPONENTS THAT HAVE THE MORE TRADITIONAL STORAGE LOOK.

HOWEVER, THEY'RE HIDDEN FROM THE ROADSIDE, SO YOU DON'T SEE THAT THE LARGER THREE STOREY BUILDING IS THAT COMMERCIAL BUILDING.

THE COMMERCIAL BOOK THERE'S THREE EXAMPLES OF VARIOUS PRODUCTS THAT HIS TEAM HAS CONSTRUCTED ALREADY THROUGHOUT FLORIDA.

JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE.

SO WE ARE GOING TO LOOK LIKE PALM BAY AND BABCOCK STREET.

NO, SIR ROAD.

WE HAVE NO DESIRE TO RECREATE THAT LOOK.

THANK YOU. YES, SIR.

THANK YOU. ANY ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, COUNCILMAN.

THE SPEAKER. WE'RE DONE WITH THAT, OK, I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASK FOR A MOTION MOTION APPROVED KQ DASH SIX DASH TWENTY TWENTY TWO SUBJECT TO THE STAFF COMMENTS CONTAINED IN THE STAFF REPORT.

AND WITH US TONIGHT IS CHRIS DOHERTY WITH ASCEND EMMY OR CONSULTANT WORKING ON THIS FOR US. SO CHRIS, WILL YOUR.

GOOD EVENING. MR. MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

CONGRATULATIONS, WE MADE IT TO THE FINISH LINE HERE.

I WISH WE HAD THE NEWLY ANOINTED TAGLINE FOR THE GREATEST CITY ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH.

WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT YET MINTED.

SO MAYBE ON THE, YOU KNOW, THE UPDATE OF THAT BROCHURE, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND ADD THE TAGLINE BEFORE I JUMP INTO THE PRESENTATION, I JUST WANT TO THANK THE COUNCIL, OUR STAKEHOLDERS. I KNOW WE'VE GOT A FEW IN THE AUDIENCE TONIGHT AND ALSO THE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE THREE WORKSHOPS THAT WE HAD, AS WELL AS THE PROJECT WEBSITE. WE GOT A LOT OF INFORMATION FROM, YOU KNOW, ALL PARTS OF THE CITY, WHICH IS THAT WAS OUR GOAL FROM THE VERY BEGINNING WAS TO GET AS MUCH PARTICIPATION.

I KNOW WE WERE DOING THIS IN THE MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC AND THERE WERE NIGHTS THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE AS MANY FOLKS THAT WE WANTED, BUT WE STILL HAD A LOT OF FOLKS PARTICIPATE.

WE HAD BOTH IN-PERSON AND VIRTUAL HAPPENING SIMULTANEOUSLY.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT ENDED UP BEING A 222 PAGE DOCUMENT, AND WE DIDN'T THINK IT WAS GOING TO BE THAT LONG, BUT IT DID.

WE HAD SO MUCH INPUT, SO MUCH INFORMATION CAME IN AND I THINK WE CRASHED JOAN'S COMPUTER, UNFORTUNATELY. SORRY ABOUT THAT.

WE FIXED IT, THOUGH. WE GOT IT ON THE GOT IT ON THE AGENDA.

EVERYTHING IS COOL NOW, SO.

SO TONIGHT I'M JUST GOING TO PRESENT TO YOU THE HIGHLIGHTS OF EVERYTHING AGAIN, 222 PAGES. WE BOILED IT DOWN FOR YOU IN THAT THAT BROCHURE.

SO WE'RE GOING TO JUST QUICKLY GO THROUGH THIS BECAUSE THIS IS KIND OF RECAPPING THE PROCESS, HOW WE GOT HERE AND I WANT TO GET TO THE ACTUAL MEAT AND OR THE MEAT AND POTATOES OF OF THE ACTUAL VISION ITSELF.

SO GOING BACK TO THE VERY BEGINNING, THE IDEA WAS TO DO THESE THREE PUBLIC WORKSHOPS.

IT WOULD BE A SERIES OF WORKSHOPS, THE WHERE ARE WE NOW? WHERE DO WE WANT TO GO? HOW HOW DO ARE WE GOING TO GET THERE? WE DID THAT IN THOSE THREE WORKSHOPS.

BEFORE WE DID THE WORKSHOPS, THOUGH, WE HAD A SERIES OF STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS OR WORKSHOPS. WE ACTUALLY HAD SIX OF THOSE THAT HAPPENED.

THIS IS THE SCHEDULE HERE.

THIS KIND OF WALKS YOU THROUGH A LITTLE SNAKE DIAGRAM OF OF HOW WE GOT TO NUMBER EIGHT.

THAT'S ACTUALLY WHAT WE'RE HERE TO DO TODAY IS TO PRESENT THE FINAL VISION.

AND AFTER WE RECEIVE YOUR COMMENTS TONIGHT, SO IF YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC THINGS, YOU WANT TO ADD ANY CHANGES I'M HERE TO TO TO GET ALL THAT INPUT AND WE'LL GO AHEAD AND GET THAT INTO THE DOCUMENT AND UPDATE IT FOR YOU OR WE WE FINALIZED THAT.

AS YOU KNOW, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS A DOCUMENT THAT LOOKS AT A CITY PROBABLY FROM A 20 30 THOUSAND FOOT LEVEL TACKLES MULTIPLE AREAS, MULTIPLE ISSUES FROM LAND USE, TRANSPORTATION, HOUSING, PARKS, YOU NAME IT.

IT'S IN THERE, BUT REALLY, IT HELPS TO CREATE YOUR YOUR VISION FOR DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH IN THE CITY AND THEN HELPS YOU MAKE DECISIONS AS THE POLICYMAKERS.

THE REASON WHY WE WENT THROUGH THE VISIONING PROCESS WAS SO THAT WE UPDATED THE PLAN TO ADDRESS THE COMMUNITY'S DESIRES THAT HADN'T BEEN UPDATED IN ALMOST 20 YEARS REALLY TO ADDRESS THE TRUE VISION OF THE CITY.

AS I MENTIONED, SIX STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS, AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH TO OUR STAKEHOLDERS FOR PARTICIPATING, I KNOW IT TOOK QUITE A BIT OF TIME OUT OF THEIR DAY TO HELP US UNDERSTAND WHAT WHAT KIND OF ISSUES WERE GOING ON IN THE CITY.

I MENTIONED OUR THREE WORKSHOPS.

WE CAME TO YOU IN OCTOBER OF 2021 TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE OF WHERE WE WERE AND WHAT WE WERE. YOU KNOW WHAT THEMES WE WERE STARTING TO SEE.

AND THEN WE HAD, OF COURSE, WE HAD OUR PROJECT WEBSITE THAT HAD A LOT OF COOL STUFF.

WE HAD THE COMMUNITY IDEA WALL, WE HAD THE SURVEY, WE HAD THE BUDGETING EXERCISE AND WE ALSO HAD LIKE A VOTE FOR YOUR VISION EXERCISE AS WELL.

THIS JUST GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF THE TYPE OF ENGAGEMENT WE HAD JUST ON THE THE PROJECT WEBSITE ALONE.

SO WE HAD OVER FIVE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED TOTAL VISITS TO THE SITE.

ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY ONE UNIQUE STAKEHOLDERS.

AND THAT'S SOMEBODY WHO ACTUALLY GAVE US THEIR THEIR EMAIL ADDRESS.

[02:30:03]

BUT THAT'S OK.

WE STILL CAN LOG THAT THEY CAME IN AND THEY THEY PARTICIPATED ON THE SITE, DOWNLOADED DOCUMENTS, PARTICIPATED IN THOSE OTHER WHAT THEY CALL WIDGETS, THE GAMES AND THE VOTE FOR YOUR VISION AND PROVIDE COMMENTS.

THE WORD CLOUD THERE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN.

THAT'S JUST A SUMMATION OF KIND OF THE WORDS THAT CAME UP IN ON THE COMMUNITY IDEA WALL.

SO WHERE FOLKS ARE PROVIDING COMMENTS AND THEN FOLKS ARE RESPONDING TO COMMENTS AND LIKING OR COMING UP OR THUMBING DOWN THE COMMENTS? THAT'S THAT'S WHAT THE PROGRAM DOES.

IT'LL SUMMARIZE THOSE THE KEY WORDS THAT COME UP SO NEEDS DEVELOPMENT, PUBLIC WATER, COMMUNITY. SO THERE ARE SOME VERY POSITIVE THINGS.

AND THEN THERE'S THINGS THAT WE NEED TO WORK ON.

SO WHAT WERE SOME OF THE THEMES WE HAD FIVE KIND OF BROAD CATEGORIES INTEREST IN YOUR PREVIOUS SALINE? SURE.

THE THE AVERAGE TIME.

UH, THAT WAS PART OF THAT ENGAGEMENT.

IT JUST THE AVERAGE TIME THAT THE USERS OR WHATEVER.

SO THIS WOULD INDICATE, YEAH, SO THIS IS BASED ON THE I BELIEVE IT'S A GOOGLE ANALYTIC TOOL THAT THEY USE AND IT'S BASED ON WHEN THEY'VE WHEN THEY GET TO THE SITE AND THEN WHATEVER THEY'RE THEY'RE DOING SO.

THANK YOU. AND THAT ALSO INCLUDES US GOING INTO THE SITE, TOO, SO WE HAVE TO GO INTO THE SITE FREQUENTLY TO CHECK ON THINGS, TO UPDATE THINGS, MAKE MAKE SURE THINGS LOOK RIGHT BECAUSE IT WAS BREATHING, LIVING, BREATHING SITE, WE WERE UPDATING EVENTS.

WE WERE ADDING DOCUMENTS, CHANGING CERTAIN THINGS.

SO LOOK AND FEEL THE SITE, YOU KNOW, WAS CHANGING ON A DAILY BASIS.

SO THAT ACCOUNTS FOR ALL OF THAT TYPE OF ACTIVITY.

THE REAL QUICKLY, THESE LOOK A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN WHAT YOU HAVE ON YOUR DOCUMENT BECAUSE WE WE SHORTEN SOME, WE CHANGE SOME JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY THEY REALLY, TRULY ADDRESSED THE THE ISSUES.

SO PLACE MAKING AN IDENTITY.

I THINK WE JUST CHANGED THAT TO PLACE MAKING ON YOUR VISIONING BROCHURE HOUSING DIVERSITY. WE JUST CHANGED IT TO HOUSING CITY IMPROVEMENTS, ADVANCING EQUITY, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. I BELIEVE WE CHANGE THAT TO ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY AGAIN BECAUSE NOT NECESSARILY JUST ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, BUT THE WHOLE GAMUT.

SO JUST GOING TO RUN THROUGH THESE REAL QUICKLY.

WHEN WE CAME TO THE CITY AND WE STARTED TALKING TO THE STAKEHOLDERS, THESE THINGS STARTED TO BECOME VERY APPARENT.

AND THEN WE WERE CONFIRMING MOST OF WHAT WE HEARD THROUGH THE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, THROUGH THE WORKSHOPS, THROUGH THE PROJECT WEBSITE, A LACK OF A DOWNTOWN.

THERE WAS A PERCEIVED KIND OF NEGATIVE CLOUD HANGING OVER THE CITY BEFORE YOUR LEADERSHIP. THESE THINGS WE HAVE TO LOOK, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO LOOK AT OURSELVES IN THE MIRROR. SOMETIMES THERE ARE REALLY WONDERFUL THINGS HAPPENING AND SOMETIMES THERE ARE NEGATIVE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO OVERCOME.

I THINK WE'RE WE'RE ON THE OTHER OTHER SIDE OF THAT, RIGHT.

WE'RE WE'RE WE'RE BECOMING THE GREATEST CITY ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH.

AND I BELIEVE THAT I MEAN, YOU SAW HOW POSITIVE EVERYBODY WAS TONIGHT.

SO THAT'S AGAIN, CHANGING THE PERCEPTION OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY IN THE EYES OF NOT JUST THE FOLKS THAT LIVE HERE, BUT FOLKS, YOU KNOW, FROM THE OUTSIDE.

HOUSING DIVERSITY AGAIN, WE THOUGHT LIKE, YOU KNOW, DIVERSITY MAYBE IS TOO NARROW OF A WORD, AND HOUSING IN GENERAL IS PROBABLY MORE OF A THE ISSUES.

SO ANYTHING FROM HOMELESSNESS TO LACK OF AFFORDABILITY TO THE FACT THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF SINGLE FAMILY.

AGAIN, A LOT OF THE YELLOW ON THE MAP THAT YOU HEARD ABOUT TONIGHT.

CITY IMPROVEMENTS, MAKING HUGE STEPS, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT THE ROAD BOND WHERE WE'RE FIXING ROADS NOW.

THERE ARE LARGE PARTS OF THE CITY THAT THAT AREN'T ON WATER, THAT AREN'T AREN'T SEWER.

HOW DO WE BRIDGE THAT GAP? ALSO PLANNING FOR THE AGING POPULATION, PROVIDING ADDITIONAL PARKS AND OTHER OPPORTUNITIES FOR FOLKS TO GET OUT AND EXPLORE THE CITY.

ADVANCING EQUITY.

THIS WAS AN ISSUE THAT CAME UP VERY EARLY ON, MAKING SURE EVERYBODY HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A SEAT AT THE TABLE REALLY IS WHAT IT BOILS DOWN TO.

[02:35:03]

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE CELEBRATE THAT.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE FOLKS THAT LIVE WORK PLAY HERE IN PALM BAY.

YES, THIS WAS A GDC COMMUNITY, BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO CONTINUE TO TALK ABOUT GDC ANYMORE.

LET'S LET'S GET PAST THAT.

LET'S LET'S DEVELOP A DOWNTOWN.

LET'S DEVELOP EMPLOYMENT CENTERS.

LET'S NOT JUST THINK THAT WE'RE A SUBDIVISION, YOU KNOW, THAT A DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION DEVELOPED, YOU KNOW, BACK IN THE 60S, 70S, 80S, WE'RE WE'RE A CITY NOW.

SO LET'S DO IT, LET'S DREAM BIG, LET'S LET'S HAVE THE WORLD.

SO WHAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU, YOU HAVE THE VISION BROCHURE, BUT WE ALSO HAVE WHAT WE'RE CONSIDERING MORE OF A TECHNICAL DOCUMENT AND THAT WAS THE TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWO PAGE DOCUMENT GOES THROUGH EVERYTHING, EXISTING CONDITIONS, EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE LOOKED AT.

AND THIS IS KIND OF THE PRECURSOR TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WHICH I'LL GET TO HERE IN JUST A MOMENT. IT ALSO HAS AN IMPLEMENTATION TABLE AT THE VERY END THAT'S REALLY SETTING UP EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT AND HOW WE'RE GOING TO GET THERE.

THAT'S THE KEY TO TAKING THAT NEXT STEP ADVANCING YOUR VISION.

THIS IS THE THE BROCHURE ALSO HAVE A VISION PLAN MAP THAT WE PUT TOGETHER THAT JUST HELPS SPATIALLY REPRESENT SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT IN, YOU KNOW, ON A MAP LAID OUT GIVE YOU SOME IDEAS OF WHERE THESE THINGS COULD POSSIBLY END UP IN THE CITY.

WE HAVE A KIND OF A SHORT KIND OF CLIFF'S NOTES OF THE IMPLEMENTATION SIDE OF THE VISION PLAN IN THE BODY OF THAT BROCHURE.

JUST A QUICK REFERENCE.

SO IF SOMEBODY SAID, HEY, WHAT ARE WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THESE ISSUES? YOU KNOW, WHERE IS THE CITY HEADED? YOU KNOW, IF YOU MEET WITH SOMEBODY, SOMEBODY FROM A COMPANY, YOU KNOW, AND THEY SAY, OH, DARN IT, IT'D BE GREAT IF YOU HAD A DOWNTOWN, YOU KNOW, OH, YOU SHOULD SAY THAT WE HAVE THIS BROCHURE. HERE YOU GO.

THIS IS OUR VISION. THIS IS WHAT YOU KNOW.

THIS IS WHAT PALM BAY IS GOING TO BE WHEN WE GROW UP.

AND WE DO HAVE A VISION STATEMENT, I WILL SPARE YOU THE READING IT OUT LOUD, I'M GOING TO TRY TO CLOSE THIS PRESENTATION UP QUICKLY BECAUSE I KNOW WE PROBABLY ARE SHORT ON TIME.

NEXT STEPS.

I LOVE THAT VISION STATEMENT.

OK, YOU ARE. I WANT YOU TO PUT IT ON THE RECORD.

YOU WANT ME TO READ THE STORY? ABSOLUTELY. PALM BAY IS CHARTING A NEW COURSE WITH STRONG COMMITMENTS TO INNOVATION, EQUITY AND INVESTMENT FOR THE FUTURE.

THE CITY SEEKS TO BECOME FLORIDA'S PREMIER COMMUNITY TO LIVE, WORK, PLAY AND GROW.

THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.

SO AS I MENTIONED AT YOUR INPUT TONIGHT, FINALIZE THE PLAN.

IT'LL BE DONE THIS MONTH.

WHERE DOES THIS TAKE US, SO IT'S TELLING, JOAN, THIS IS KIND OF FULL CIRCLE WHEN I CAME HERE AND WE KICKED OFF THE VISION PLAN, YOU KNOW, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE GOLF COURSE CONVERSION THAT NIGHT.

AND I THINK WE WERE HERE TILL MIDNIGHT THAT NIGHT.

BUT WE ALSO FINISHED THE EAR THAT NIGHT, WHICH WAS KIND OF THAT FIRST STEP.

WE NEEDED TO GET THE THE STATE OFF OUR BACKS FROM, YOU KNOW, THE LEGISLATIVE STATUTORY REQUIREMENT REQUIREMENTS PALM BAY THAT WE HAD TO ADDRESS IN THE CONFERENCE OF PLAN TO ALLOW US TO DO THE VISIONING IN A MANNER WHERE WE COULD INCLUDE AS MANY FOLKS AS WE THAT WE COULD BECAUSE IF WE WOULD HAVE GONE THROUGH THE STATE EAR PROCESS, YOU WOULD HAVE ONLY HAD A YEAR.

BUT WHEN YOU SUBMITTED YOUR LETTER TO WHEN YOU HAD YOUR WHOLE PLAN DONE SO, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO THE VISIONING.

SO KUDOS TO LARRY.

WE SAT DOWN AND HAD A FRANK DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT AND.

YEAH, WE DIDN'T DO THE WHOLE PLAN WHEN WE UPDATED IT, BUT WE GOT WE HIT ALL THE STATE REQUIREMENTS, GOT THE STATE STUFF OFF OUR BACKS, WE DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT ANYMORE.

NOW WE CAN ACTUALLY DO A PLAN THAT ADDRESSES THE CITY'S DESIRES, AND WE HAVE WAY MORE FLEXIBILITY NOW TO TO DO THE THINGS THAT YOU WANT TO DO.

IT'S NO LONGER JUST A STALE, YOU KNOW, STATE REQUIRED DOCUMENT.

WE'RE GOING TO DO INNOVATIVE THINGS.

AND I PROMISED ALEX THAT WHEN WE TALKED THE OTHER NIGHT, SO.

[02:40:02]

IT'S ANOTHER REALLY LONG DOCUMENT AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO COME BACK AND DO WORKSHOPS.

WE HAVE TWO WORKSHOPS THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO.

SO AT THE BEGINNING, WE'RE GOING TO CONFIRM THE VISION.

WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO GET THERE IN THE PLAN AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK IN THE SECOND WORKSHOP WITH A PROPOSED PLAN.

AND THEN FOLKS CAN PARTICIPATE IN ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, DRAFTING GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES, AND THAT'S GOING TO BE FINALIZED IN 2023.

I KNOW WE WANT TO GO FASTER THAN THAT, I KNOW EVERYBODY'S ITCHING TO GET THIS THING DONE, AND I APPRECIATE THAT THIS THESE THINGS TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME.

AS YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT JUST DOING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN THE IMPLEMENTATION TABLE.

THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER THINGS THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF THE PLAN.

JUST MAKE SURE WE, YOU KNOW, TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE ITEMS. THERE ARE THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, COMMUNICATING HOW WE'RE COMPLETING CERTAIN TASKS ON THE WEBSITE. YOU KNOW, THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT FOLKS WANTED TO SEE.

SO SOME TRANSPARENCY IN ACCOMPLISHING YOUR GOALS.

BUT WITH THAT, THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR YOU THIS EVENING.

QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, INPUT.

WHAT? I THINK I'LL START IT OFF AND THEN I'LL JUST PROBABLY WRAP UP.

BUT OUTSTANDING JOB.

I KNOW THIS IS A LONG PROCESS.

THAT'S WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS MAINTAIN AND NOT LET SO MUCH TIME ELAPSE BETWEEN, YOU KNOW, AMENDMENTS, RIGHT? COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS.

THE FIRST THING I LIKE TO SAY IS THAT IDENTIFYING INDUSTRIAL, I THINK WE HEARD THAT FROM STAFF LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND INDUSTRIAL GOING TO DRIVE OUR COMMERCIAL WITHIN OUR WITHIN OUR BORDERS. BUT SOMETHING ELSE THAT I FEEL PASSIONATE ABOUT, AND I'M NOT SURE, BUT CERTAIN PEOPLE. IN OUR COMMUNITY FEEL THAT WE SHOULD ALL ALSO HAVE AT LEAST ONE ACRE LOTS, YOU KNOW, RURAL RESIDENTIAL SHOULD BE PART OF OUR EQUATION.

SO BUT I WANTED TO SHARE THE COMMERCIAL ASPECT TO IT HOW WE CONTINUE TO IDENTIFY THAT LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AS WELL.

AND WHAT THAT VISION IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

BUT IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO ALWAYS CONSIDER THAT IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT INCREASING OUR COMMERCIAL BASE, HOW CRITICALLY IMPORTANT THAT IS, ESPECIALLY WITH OUR FUTURE, WE'RE LOOKING TO TIE IN OUR ST JOHN'S HERITAGE PARKWAY, SO THOSE THOSE THOUGHTS IMMEDIATELY COME TO MIND. I KNOW DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON AND THE REST OF THE TEAM WON'T WANT TO WEIGH IN, BUT I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE ENGAGEMENT.

YOU'RE RIGHT, IT WAS IN THE MIDST OF A PANDEMIC, BUT WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO ENGAGE OUR COMMUNITY. ENCOURAGE THEM, AND HOWEVER WE HAVE TO ADVERTISE.

I THINK IT'S CRITICALLY IMPORTANT THAT OUR PALM BAY ERS SEE LISTEN, THIS IS WHAT THE FUTURE OF PALM BAY IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE AND WE WANT YOU TO BE A PART OF THIS PROCESS.

SO DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON, YOU COULD GO AHEAD AND TAKE.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. I WON'T BE LONG, BUT JUST GETTING THIS FOREST IS ENCOURAGING BECAUSE WHEN I BROUGHT THIS UP TO COUNT THE PRIOR COUNCIL, I HAD HAIR AT THE TIME.

THAT'S HOW LONG AGO. NO, NO.

BUT ALL JOKES ASIDE, NO, THIS WAS DONE.

DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON, FOR THE RECORD.

SO I KNOW, BUT REMEMBER, THIS WAS BACK IN TWENTY NINETEEN THAT I BROUGHT THIS UP TO COUNCIL AND I'M ASKING LIKE, WE HAVEN'T UPDATED THIS, WHY HAVEN'T WE UPDATED THIS AND EVERYBODY KIND OF LOOKED LIKE.

NOW, I'M LIKE, WELL, THIS UPDATED SO THAT'S WHAT GOT THE BALL ROLLING.

SO THEN MY MY COMMENT BEHIND THAT I'M LOOKING AT ISSUES LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, LAND MODERN APPROACH WHERE IT SAYS ESTABLISHED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OF FIVE YEAR EVALUATION CYCLE.

IS THAT PERTAINING TO KIND OF WHAT I WAS SAYING? WE NEED TO BE REEVALUATING THIS EVERY SO OFTEN AND MAKING SURE WE STAY ON TOP OF IT.

SO THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

EXACTLY. SO THE STATUTES REQUIRE EVERY SEVEN YEARS.

YEAH, BUT THAT'S JUST TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE STATUTES.

YOU KNOW, THE CHANGE IN LEGISLATION.

YOU KNOW, WE CAN LOOK AT IT FROM A CHANGE IN LOCAL CONDITION, YOU KNOW, NOT JUST WHAT THE STATE IS TELLING YOU TO DO.

SO THAT'S WHAT THE EVERY FIVE YEARS, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT IT AT THE WORKSHOPS, THAT'S KIND OF WHERE IT WAS HEADED, YOU KNOW, HEY, WE WE SHOULD MAKE THIS, YOU KNOW,

[02:45:01]

AND THEN ON THAT NOTE, SPEAKING OF TALLAHASSEE.

SO WE IN PALM BAY, WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY ZONE AND THOSE OPPORTUNITY ZONES ARE SUPPOSED TO HELP IN REGARDS TO JOB GROWTH AND, YOU KNOW, OPPORTUNITIES.

BUT OUR OPPORTUNITY IS KNOWN, I BELIEVE, IS IN AN AREA THAT'S PRETTY DIFFICULT TO.

YEAH, IT'S A LOT OF PRESERVED LANDS.

THE AREA DESIGNATED FOR US FOR OPPORTUNITY ZONE.

YOU REALLY CAN'T HAVE ANY OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE IT'S I PRESERVE LAND, SO THAT'S SOMETHING YOU KNOW GOING FORWARD I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO LOOK AT, BUT I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH OUR STATE LEGISLATORS OR.

SO. I WAS JUST STATING THAT WE HAD SOMEBODY COME IN MEET WITH SUZANNE SHERMAN AND ALEX BERNARD AND I BELIEVE NANCY BLUNT AS WELL.

HAD AN INTEREST IN DEVELOPING THE LAND, THEY HAD A BUYER, SO.

NOT ALL OF IT IS STATE PRESERVED LAND, IT WAS JUST WETLANDS.

OK. LOW LYING.

OK, BECAUSE THAT WAS THAT WAS A CONCERN, I WAS LOOKING AT THE MAP AND I'M LIKE, OH, I DIDN'T KNOW IF WE HAD TO FIND ANOTHER AREA TO DESIGNATE OPPORTUNITY ZONE OR WHAT, BUT IF WE COULD UTILIZE IT ANY WAY OR SHAPE OR FORM, THAT WOULD BE GREAT BECAUSE IT'S JUST BEEN SITTING THERE FOR A WHILE. THAT'S ALL.

MAYOR, THANK YOU AGAIN.

NO, THANK YOU.

DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON.

YOU KNOW, THE COUNTY ALWAYS UPDATES SOME AND I I AGREE WE NEED TO FOLLOW THAT TREND IN UPDATING FIVE YEARS.

SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD PLAN.

COUNCILMAN FELIX ARE FOSTER YOU.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO WEIGH IN ON? UM. I THINK THIS IS A STANDING.

OH, NO, I CAN'T FIND SOME ADJECTIVES TO DESCRIBE, BUT.

AND THE REASON WHY I SAY THAT BECAUSE.

YOU DON'T HAVE VISION, YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING.

PALM BAY DIDN'T HAVE A VISION FOR MANY YEARS.

AND. THIS TELLS IT ALL.

AND THAT'S THE BEGINNING OF GREATNESS, THAT'S THE BEGINNING OF ACHIEVING.

ANYTHING IN LIFE, YOU'VE GOT TO SEE IT BEFORE YOU ACHIEVE IT.

YOU KNOW, IT MIGHT NOT BE PHYSICALLY IN FRONT OF YOU.

YOU HAVE TO SEE IT IN YOUR MIND AND YOUR THOUGHTS.

GOT TO MOVE TOWARDS IT, AND YOU GOT TO.

COMPOSITE. THAT'S BEEN.

I SUCCESS ALL MY LIFE WHEN I HAVE A VISION.

SEE, I GO FOR IT.

RIGHT, AND THIS CITY HAS A VISION NOW, NOT TOO MANY CITIES HAVE VISION.

YOU HAVE ONE NOW. YOU KNOW WHAT WE MOVE TO, WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE WORKING.

AND I LOOKED THIS OVER, AND I AND I LIKE EVERYTHING YOU GOT IN.

I'VE YEARS IS, YEAH, YOU NEED TO REVISIT IT EVERY FIVE YEARS AND MOVE TOWARDS THIS AND GET A PLAN, I DON'T CARE IF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TAKES THE TWENTY TWENTY FOUR AS LONG AS WE GET IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME, THAT'S IMPORTANT.

GETTING IT RIGHT, THE FIRST TIME I'M GOING BACK AND SAY WE SCREWED UP.

GETTING IT DONE THIS US.

NO BUSINESS IS COSTLESS.

HURT THE POPULATION.

GETTING IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME, SO I APPLAUD YOU, SIR, THE HARD WORK TEAM DOES WHAT YOU'VE BEEN GOING TO CONTINUE.

NEXT STEP LIKE THAT.

SO YOU. THE NEXT STEP YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE.

SO. OUTSTANDING JOB.

AND I'M JUST SAYING THAT PALM BAY.

WE HAVE A VISION NOW.

IN HAVE IT. BUT THE DEPUTY MAYOR OF VISION WAS LET'S GET IT STARTED.

THE LAST COUNCIL. RIGHT.

HE PUSHED THAT.

THAT IN THEM CHAIRS AND WATCH THEM DO IT.

NOW IS BEING DONE.

I WAS COMING TO LIFE.

WELL, I HAVE TO SAY THANK YOU.

YEAH, THANK YOU.

MAYOR IN FELIX, THANK YOU.

I DON'T THINK I COULD SAY IT ANY BETTER.

I MEAN, THESE GENTLEMEN JUST, YOU KNOW, SOME SUMS IT UP ALL UP VERY WELL.

THE ONLY THING I'D SAY IS WITH YOUR HELP, THIS COUNCIL AND STAFF, WE'RE CHANGING THE COURSE OF THE CITY FOR THE FUTURE, FOR MY KIDS, MY KIDS AND GRAND GRANDKIDS AND THE

[02:50:05]

BUT TRULY, WHAT WE'RE DOING IS IS JUST TREMENDOUS.

I MEAN, IT'S IT'S IT'S A BIG DEAL.

AND AGAIN, YOU KNOW, I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR HELPING US ACHIEVE THAT BECAUSE AS YOU LOOK AT THIS, THIS PRESENTATION, EVERYTHING IS TOUCHED UPON IN TERMS OF THE FUTURE OF OUR CITY. SO. THANK YOU.

YEAH, THANK YOU, SIR. MY PLEASURE AND THANK YOU.

AS I SAID TO TO THE CITY, TO EVERYBODY, YOU KNOW, I DON'T DO THESE THINGS FOR MYSELF.

THIS IS FOR THE CITY OF PALM BAY, FOR THE PEOPLE OF PALM BAY.

AND I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THAT'S WHY I GOT INTO THIS PROFESSION.

SO I REALLY DO APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S INPUT.

YOUR GUIDANCE IN GETTING US TO THE FINISH LINE.

SO AND NOW THE FUN STARTS THAT WE WE GET TO UPDATE THE PLAN.

I DON'T HAVE I DIDN'T HAVE THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS ON THAT TIMELINE BECAUSE THAT WAS KIND OF A THREE PLUS ONE IN TERMS OF IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE PHASES OF OF UPDATING YOUR REGULATIONS AND THEN YOUR DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.

SO THAT'S DOWN THE ROAD AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT LATER.

BUT THANK YOU.

IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WISHED TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? I SEE MASTER CHIEF.

THE FORWARD. BILL BATTEN 586 OCEAN SPRAY STREET, SOUTHWEST.

I JUST THIS WAS A QUESTION, HOW DO WE NOW INCORPORATE THE VISION PLAN INTO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN? I SAW THAT THAT WAS A 11 MONTH PLAN PROCESS COMING, BUT MY QUESTION IS HOW HOW DO YOU GET THERE? LIKE I WATCH REPEATEDLY, EVEN ON THIS AGENDA TONIGHT, WE'VE WATCHED HOW LAND USE CHANGES WERE CHANGING LEFT AND RIGHT, DEPENDING ON WHO CAME WITH THE MONEY THAT WANTED TO BUY IT.

THAT'S HOW WE'RE THAT'S HOW WE ARE CURRENTLY DOING OUR LAND MASS CHANGES.

THAT'S THE WRONG APPROACH TO WHEN YOU DO A VISION PLAN.

OTHERWISE, THE VISION PLAN IS USELESS BECAUSE YOU COME IN AND SAY, WELL, NOW THIS PERSON HAS MONEY AND THEY WANT YOU TO CHANGE IT.

I WATCHED THIS REPEATEDLY THAT THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS.

A PERSON WHO WALKS IN WITH THE BUCK GETS THE LAND MASS CHANGE.

SO SOME PLACE IN THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT NEEDS TO BE SAID, HERE'S WHERE WE ARE AND THIS IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO.

AND I'M SORRY, DEVELOPER, THIS LAND WASN'T DEDICATED FOR THAT.

BUT BUT THE COUNCIL SAYS ALL BUT WE NEED THAT MONEY TO COME AND IN SO YOU GO AHEAD AND CHANGE IT BECAUSE I'M LIVING PROOF THAT I BOUGHT.

ACCORDING TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, I BOUGHT ACCORDINGLY TO WHAT WAS THERE, AND NOW THERE'S ONLY ONE PIECE OF THAT ESTABLISHED COMMUNITY LEFT, AND THAT'S MINE.

IT'S THE ONLY ONE LEFT BASED ON COMPREHENSIVE PLANS.

SO WHEN I WANT TO SEE, HOW ARE WE GOING TO START DOING THESE LAND MASS CHANGES? FIRST OFF, THE CITY DOESN'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO JUST AUTOMATICALLY SAY, THIS IS YOUR PRIVATE PROPERTY, THIS IS WHAT WE WANT TO PUT THERE.

THEY CAN'T DO THAT.

SO I NEED TO KNOW HOW WE'RE GOING TO GET TO THAT NEXT STEP.

AND THAT'S I'M ASSUMING THAT THAT'S SOMEPLACE DOWN THAT 11 MONTH PROCESS, BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE I WANT TO. THAT'S WHERE THE TO ME, THAT'S THE REAL MEAT AND POTATOES, WHAT WE PUT IN THAT MAKES THE PEOPLE DECIDE IF THEY WANT TO BUY OR NOT.

BUY IN PALM BAY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. CHIEF. ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK? WE'RE AGAINST THE SITE. AS AS DEPUTY MAYOR PULLS THE MICROPHONE NEAR HIS HIS MOUTH, SO AT THIS TIME.

SO IT'S INTERESTING, RIGHT, THAT.

WE SPOKE ABOUT.

LIGHT, INDUSTRIAL AND INDUSTRIAL AND GETTING THAT COMMERCIAL FOR THE TRAFFIC TO STAY WITHIN AND RESTAURANTS BE PART OF OUR COMMUNITY, WE SPOKE ABOUT DOWNTOWN AND ESTABLISHING THAT AND AND THERE'S REALLY GREAT OPPORTUNITIES.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE HAVE TO RECOGNIZE ONCE THAT'S SET IN MOTION WAS THAT SET IS SET.

WHAT MASTER CHIEF BRATTON SAYS, WE JUST CAN'T GO AND CHANGE IT FROM THAT POINT ON.

AND SO THAT'S WHY I THINK IT'S CRITICALLY IMPORTANT THAT THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN NOT ONLY COMES TO FRUITION AT THE SAME TIME.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE ESTABLISHING FOR NOT ONLY OURSELVES, BUT FUTURE LEADERS THAT COME UP TO THIS DIOCESE TO HAVE THAT SAME PASSION FOR THIS CITY.

SO THAT BEING SAID, IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK? I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT THIS TIME AND ASK FOR A MOTION MOTION TO ADOPT THE VISION PALM BAY 2040 PLAN.

[02:55:04]

ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSIONS? YOU GUYS WANT TO WEIGH IN A LITTLE BIT MORE WITH THIS OR WE'RE OK.

WE'RE GOOD TO GO. ALL IN FAVOR.

I PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.

WE'RE ON ITEM NUMBER 12.

IS MUCH ADVANTAGE OF THE CITY.

AND OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING, THAT'S THE APPLICANT TO STEP FORWARD.

AND PRESENT THEIR CASE.

GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR COUNCIL BRUCE MOYER, REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT FOR MELBOURNE.

THIS IS THE WE HEARD THIS AT THE LAST MEETING.

THIS IS THE FINAL GDP APPROVAL FOR THE RICHMOND ROAD DEVELOPMENT, WHICH IS A SMALLER VERSION OF WHAT WAS APPROVED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO.

SO UNLESS YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I WOULD RESPECTFULLY HOPE THAT YOU WOULD APPROVE IT.

Q ANY QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT?

[03:00:01]

COPY THAT. SO DON'T GO FAR.

MR. MOINE, MR WATANABE AND MR LITTLE MS. SHERMAN. I'M SORRY. YES, YOU ALL CAN COME UP.

THANK YOU. I'M SORRY.

HELP ME, FATHER. GOOD EVENING.

VERY NOW, BE THE CITY ENGINEER.

CHRIS LYTTLE, UTILITIES DIRECTOR, THANK YOU, AND I DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO ASK YOU PRIOR BECAUSE I WAS I WAS LOOKING AT THIS AND I BROUGHT IT UP TO MS. SHERMAN. SO I WANT TO ASK YOU ALL THIS AREA ON GAINOR DRIVE, THERE'S NO WATER OR SEWER IN THAT AREA. CORRECT? CORRECT.

OK. SO, YOU KNOW, AND THE APPLICANT, I BELIEVE, WOULD HAVE TO PUT WATER AND SEWER IN CORRECT. THEY WOULD HAVE TO INSTALL A WATER MAIN ENFORCEMENT EXTENSIONS TO HAVE SERVICE TO THEIR DEVELOPMENT. THIS IS A NEWLY PAVED ROAD ON GAINOR DRIVE.

CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT.

SO WHAT'S NEXT IS WHAT I THINK THE ISSUE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE IS THERE'S A CHALLENGE IN THE WEST SACHSE WEST SIDE OF THE ROADWAY BETWEEN OCEAN SPRAYED AND LANGE, AND WE WHEN WE'RE DOING THE ROAD CONSTRUCTION WE WERE SUPPOSED TO PURCHASE RIGHT AWAY.

WE DID FOR ALL EXCEPT FOR THAT LITTLE PIECE.

THE PROPERTY OWNER DIDN'T WANT TO WORK WITH US IN TERMS OF RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION.

SO THERE ARE NO THERE'S NO RUSH TO PASS THE ROADWAY ROADWAY TOUCHES THE RIGHT AWAY AT THAT PROPERTY BETWEEN LANGE AND OCEAN SPRAY.

THERE'S A CONSTRAINT THERE.

OK, SO.

TO GET THE WATER AND SEWER IN WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN.

ONE OPTION IS TO TRY TO GO AROUND IT, AN ALTERNATIVE ROUTE OR THE WATER MAIN.

WE NEED TO HAVE THE WATER MAIN LOOPED.

SO THAT'S REALLY NOT AN OPTION.

ONE THING WE CAN DO, IT'S NOT IDEAL, BUT YOU CAN INSTALL THE WATER MAIN IN THE ROADWAY PARALLEL TO THE ROAD.

YOU WOULD HAVE TO CUT INTO THREE TO FIVE FEET.

USE A STRONGER MATERIAL, A PIPE MATERIAL AND THEN COVER IT SO YOU CAN INSTALL THE WATER MAIN INSIDE THE ROAD IF NECESSARY.

THE FIRST OPTION AGAIN IS TO SAY GO AROUND AND FIND AN ALTERNATIVE PATH FOR INSTEAD OF GOING WHERE THE CONFLICT IS.

THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS FOR CONNECTION.

OK, FOR THE FOREST MAINE, FOR INSTANCE, THE WAY IN THE IN THE ITEM WE TOLD THEM THAT THEY COULD CONNECT IS TO EXTEND THE FORCE MAINE FROM THEIR DEVELOPMENT SOUTH TO ABOUT WHERE BRIDGES. AND I THINK THAT'S WHERE THE CONFLICT IS.

ALTERNATIVELY, FOR THE FORCE MAINE, THERE'S A ROUTE THAT THEY CAN TAKE.

LACROSSE, I BELIEVE, AND CONNECTING TO THE FORCE MAINE SYSTEM ON THE SO WE CAN BYPASS THAT CONFLICT. BUT THE WATER MAIN.

THE CONNECTION POINT IN THE CASE, WE HAVE A CONNECTING TO WHERE BAY RIDGE IS, BUT ALSO WE WOULD NEED A LOOP BECAUSE WE'VE HAD WATER QUALITY ISSUES WITH DEAD END LINES AND IT WOULD BE LOOPED AROUND TO DEGROOTE ALONG THE SAME ROUTE AS THE ALTERNATIVE ROUTE FOR THE FORCE MAINE. SO FOR THE WATER MAIN, WE WOULD NEED TO MAKE THE CONNECTION FROM BOTH SIDES, AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE ONLY OPTION THAT WE WOULD HAVE IS TO INSTALL THE WATER MAIN INSIDE THE ROAD. IF WE CANNOT ACQUIRE THE RIGHT WAY AND IT'S NOT LOOKING LIKE WE'RE GOING TO REQUIRE ACQUIRE THE RIGHT AWAY.

HE WAS PRETTY ADAMANT NOT TO TELL US THE RIGHT WAY, BUT BUT CHRIS HAS MENTIONED BEFORE IS DOABLE. WE IN DIFFICULT AREAS, ESPECIALLY IN URBANIZED AREAS WHERE YOU HAVE SIDEWALKS AND YOU CAN'T REALLY PUT IN A SEWER OR WATER AND THE SHOULDER AND THE RIGHT AWAY.

YOU CAN'T PUT IT IN THE ROADWAY.

AS LONG AS YOU STRETCH IT RIGHT, YOU COMPACT IT RIGHT, LIKE CHRIS WAS SAYING, AND THEN YOU BUILD UP THE ENTIRE LANE WIDTH AND YOU PAY IT BACK IN SO YOU WON'T SEE THE DIFFERENCE. OK, WELL, I KNOW YOU WON'T SEE THE DIFFERENCE, BUT IN REGARDS TO THE ACTUAL IMPACT OF THE ROAD MR. WATANABE, YOU BELIEVE IT'LL BE OF THE SAME QUALITY? YES. YES, SIR. IT'S ABOUT 600 FEET.

THE SECTION THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AND WE'VE DONE A LOT OF SECTIONS WHERE THE CONTRACTOR, MAYBE THE ASPHALT WASN'T GOOD.

THOSE PROBLEMS WE HAD IN THE FINAL PUNCH TAKE OUT 500 FEET AND THEN PUT IT BACK IN.

SO THAT'S DOABLE. OK.

YOU HEAR THE QUESTIONS I'M ASKING.

THAT'S THAT'S MY BIGGEST CONCERN RIGHT NOW.

I I APPROVE THIS.

THE FIRST READING.

BUT AFTER LEARNING THIS INFORMATION HERE, THIS IS WHAT REALLY KIND OF, YOU KNOW, RAISED RAISED MY EYEBROWS UP ON THIS, BUT I APPRECIATE YOU GENTLEMEN ELABORATING ON IT.

SO I GUESS I'M GOOD.

YEP. AS MAYOR MEDINA WILL SAY AT EASE.

THANK YOU. HERE.

YES, MA'AM. DEPUTY OR YES, MA'AM, I THINK I WOULD HAVE SAID AS YOU WERE.

BUT BUT AT EASE AT EASE HER AT EASE FITS MADAM SHERMAN.

THANK YOU, SIR. ONE THING I WAS JUST SPEAKING WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY ABOUT WE HAVE NOT

[03:05:03]

THAT IS AN OPTION WE HAVE YET TO EXPLORE.

SO JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT'S STILL SOMETHING.

IF YOU WANTED US TO LOOK AT, WE COULD.

I. BUT LOOK, THAT IS SOMETHING I WOULD DEFINITELY LIKE TO LOOK AT BECAUSE I JUST FRESHLY PAVED ROAD, AND IF BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY, I WOULD PREFER NOT TO GO THROUGH IT EVEN IF IT'S 500 FEET.

SO I WOULD PREFER LOOKING INTO THAT.

DOES THAT HAVE TO BE IF COUNCIL DOES DECIDE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS, DOES THAT HAVE TO BE INCLUDED IN THE MOTION OR IS THAT SOMETHING SEPARATELY OR NO, THAT IS SOMETHING SEPARATE. AND CERTAINLY IF WE WERE TO GO THAT WAY, IT WOULD BE MORE INFORMATION BROUGHT BACK TO COUNCIL.

IT'S CERTAINLY NOT A PART OF THIS APPROVAL, BUT IS RELATED TO SOME OF THE ISSUES YOU WERE YOU BROUGHT ABOUT. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU, MADAM ATTORNEY.

THANK YOU. JUST SO THAT WE CLEAR THE EMINENT DOMAIN ISSUE IS SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE GOING TO EXPLORE, BUT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS MOTION TODAY.

IS THAT CORRECT? YES, SIR.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN FOSTER.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. WHAT'S THE LIKELIHOOD WE WOULD PREVAIL WITH THE EMINENT DOMAIN? THERE IS NO REAL ISSUE, BECAUSE AS FAR AS BEING ABLE TO TAKE A PORTION OF PROPERTY FOR A PUBLIC ROAD, IT'S A MATTER OF US BEING ABLE TO PAY FOR IT.

I MEAN, AS FAR THAT IS AN APPROPRIATE USE OF EMINENT DOMAIN.

IT'S JUST A MATTER OF DO WE HAVE THE MONEY BECAUSE WE CAN TAKE IT OVER? OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, ANYBODY IN WHICH THE GOVERNMENT TAKES THEIR PROPERTY IS DUE JUST COMPENSATION. SO THE CITY'S GOING TO THE CITY WOULD HAVE TO FOOT THE BILL FOR THE EMINENT DOMAIN. YES, WE WOULD PAY FOR THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY AND WE'D ALSO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ATTORNEY'S FEES. OK.

ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? MADAM ATTORNEY AND A MIDDLE MAN, TYPICALLY IT'S IT'S A QUITE LENGTHY PROCESS, IS THAT CORRECT? NOW, IT DEPENDS ON WHICH ONE YOU DO.

THERE IS WHAT'S CALLED A QUICKTAKE, ESSENTIALLY.

A QUICK TAKE IS OVER RELATIVELY QUICKLY.

YOU KNOW, YOU CAN PROBABLY GET THAT DONE WITHIN ABOUT SIX DAYS.

THE ONLY THING WITH THE QUICK TAKE IS YOU TAKE IT AND YOU CAN DO WITH IT.

AND THEN LATER ON YOU FIND OUT WHAT THE PRICE TAG IS.

WHEREAS THE LONGER ONE THAT WHERE YOU WAIT AND YOU FIND OUT WHAT, HOW MUCH IT'S GOING TO COST ME TO SAY, OH, YOU KNOW WHAT? OH, WE LIKE THAT, AND WE DON'T.

BUT IF YOU DO A QUICK TAKE, YOU CAN GET IT QUICKLY, BUT YOU'VE ALREADY GOT IT.

SO WHATEVER IT TURNS OUT, THE PRICE IS YOU'RE KIND OF STUCK.

THERE'S NOTHING ELSE TO GO BACK BECAUSE YOU'VE ALREADY TAKEN IT, BUT IT CAN BE DONE QUICKLY. IT'S JUST A COST, WHETHER YOU ACTUALLY HAVE THE FUNDS, BECAUSE THE QUICK TAKE.

YOU'RE TAKING A CHANCE. OF COURSE, YOU'RE GOING TO GET APPRAISALS AND YOU'RE GOING TO TRY TO RESOLVE THAT WAY.

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THE DUELING APPRAISALS, BUT YOU CAN GET IT AND BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING WITH IT. IT'S JUST YOU DON'T ULTIMATELY, YOU HAVE AN IDEA, BUT YOU KNOW, THE PRICE THAT IT'S YOU'RE LOOKING AT COULD INCREASE DEPENDING UPON HOW THE CASE ENDS.

WELL, I HAVE A QUESTION.

HOLD ON. HE STILL HAS THE FLOOR.

THANK YOU, MAYOR MS. MS. SMITH. WHAT I WOULD SAY IS, I MEAN, THERE'S AN EASY WAY TO GO ABOUT THIS, AND I WOULD DEFINITELY TAKE A DIFFERENT ROUTE.

THE FIRST OPTION BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENED IS WOULD DEMAND IT ALWAYS CAN BE PERCEIVED AS, YOU KNOW, GOVERNMENT TAKING OVER GOVERNMENT FORCING ME INTO EVEN MY PROPERTY.

SO THAT WOULD BE THE LAST THING.

I WOULD WANT THIS BODY OR THIS CITY BEING PERCEIVED AS SUCH.

AND BY NO MEANS WE'RE NOT.

YES. ANY ANY WAY YOU LOOK AT IT, THERE'S AN EASY, EASY WAY TO TO TO CURE THAT.

TO BE QUITE HONEST, IN MY OPINION, I THINK THE THE WAY OF THE FIRST OPTION, IN MY OPINION, IS A BETTER OPTION.

BECAUSE THAT WAY, YES, YOU KNOW, MAYBE IT'S STILL PEOPLE FEEL CRAZY ABOUT IT, BUT AND RIGHTFULLY SO, IS THEIR TAX DOLLARS BEING USED IN SUCH A WAY? IT MAY BE PERCEIVED AS THAT, BUT I'D RATHER THAT, YOU KNOW, AND OUR CITY ENGINEER JUST, YOU KNOW, GUARANTEE US IN TERMS OF IMPACT OF THAT, ROADS WOULD STILL BE BACK.

THE NORMAL TO TO THE, YOU KNOW, ORIGINAL WAY.

I WOULD RATHER WE GO THAT ROUTE.

[03:10:05]

UM. YOU KNOW, I KIND OF DISAGREE WITH MY COLLEAGUE ON THAT POINT BECAUSE I'M LOOKING AT WHICH IS CHEAPER, WHICH IS GOING TO SAY PALM BAY RESIDENTS, THE TAX DOLLARS YOU GO AFTER EMINENT DOMAIN.

OR DO YOU TEAR UP THE ROAD? IT MIGHT BE CHEAPER TO TEAR UP THE ROAD AND OR GO AROUND THE LONG WAY TO ACHIEVE OUR OBJECTIVE. SO WHICH IS WHICH IS CHEAPER FOR THE TAXPAYERS? I DON'T LIKE THE IDEA.

TURN UP OR PAY A NICELY PAVED ROAD.

BUT IF IT'S GOING TO COST LESS THAN GOING THE EMINENT DOMAIN ROUTE AND PAYING THE OWNER OF THAT PROPERTY A AMOUNT.

AND STILL, WE'VE GOT TO DO THE DUE TO WATER MAIN, WHICH IS CHEAPER, I DON'T KNOW.

AND THAT'S THAT'S WHAT IT MIGHT BE MORE EXPENSIVE GOING TO EMINENT DOMAIN THAN OF THE ROAD. DO YOU HAVE ANY THOUGHTS ON THAT? I AN ATTORNEY. I WOULDN'T KNOW UNTIL WE ACTUALLY WOULD HAVE FIGURED OUT WHAT AREA OF THE PROPERTY WE WOULD NEED AND HAD SOME TYPE OF APPRAISAL OF THAT OR PROPERTIES, BUT.

JUST SPEAKING. CERTAINLY, I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE SAID WE WOULD EXPLORE IT, BUT RIGHT NOW, I DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION.

NO. THANK YOU.

SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 600 FEET, IS THAT CORRECT? FRANK? SIX HUNDRED FEET.

YOU KNOW, I AGREE WITH YOU.

THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT GOVERNMENT OVERREACH THAT THAT I WOULDN'T WANT EVEN RELATED TO THIS COUNCIL COUNCILMAN FELIX.

AND THEN AT THE OTHER HAND, I THINK DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON JUST WANTS TO GET A STUDY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT COST IS GOING TO BE, HOW YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE THE PLUS FACTORS.

SO I'M GOOD WITH THE CITY MANAGER OR THE CITY ATTORNEY TO JUST EXPLORE IT, ALTHOUGH I WOULDN'T, I WOULD REALLY HAVE TO LOOK HARD AND REVIEW IT THAT FOR ME TO GO WITH SOMETHING LIKE THAT, AND I THINK YOU AND I ARE ON THE SAME PAGE WITH THAT.

COUNCILMAN FELIX.

BUT YOU KNOW, IN THE LONG RUN, I I DIDN'T VOTE FOR THIS PROJECT FOR, YOU KNOW, OTHER REASONS. I'M SURE YOU GUYS REMEMBER THAT.

AND I STATED THAT TODAY WITH THE COMPLAINT, RIGHT? BUT I THINK THIS IS GREAT DIALOG AND THIS IS WHAT COLLABORATION AND WORKING THROUGH ISSUES TOGETHER.

SO I COMMEND THIS COUNCIL FOR LOOKING AND EXPLORING WAYS THAT WE COULD DO THAT.

SO THANK THANK YOU FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU FOR SHARING YOUR YOUR POINT OF VIEW ON THIS. WELL, I REALLY APPRECIATE AND I'M HONORED TO SERVE AS MANY OF THIS OF THIS CITY, THE GREATEST CITY ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH.

SO DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON THAT THAT WAS WITHOUT ANY SPEAKER POINTS.

WELL, I GUESS I WAS GOING TO GO BACK TO BRUCE TO MR. MOIR ON THAT TOPIC, IF YOU WANT TO SPEAK ON IT A LITTLE BIT.

WELL, I DEFINITELY WAS NOT PREPARED TO SPEAK, AND THIS IS THE FIRST I'M HEARING THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE THERE.

I KNOW THAT WE ARE DEDICATING OUR RIGHT WAY FOR OUR PROJECT.

WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO GIVE THAT TO THE CITY SO THAT YOU HAVE RIGHT AWAY ALONG OUR FRONTAGE. YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY WE'RE GOING TO BE THE ONES PUTTING IN THE WATER LINE, SO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO PUT THE WATER LINE AND WILL BE TO THE EXPENSE OF THE DEVELOPER, NOT TO THE CITY. SHOULD YOU GUYS PURSUE GETTING THE RIGHT AWAY? OBVIOUSLY, THAT WOULD BE.

BETTER BECAUSE IT'S NOT PUTTING THE WATER MAIN IN THE ROAD, THAT'S THE PROBLEM, IT'S MAINTAINING IT. IF SOMETHING HAPPENS, THAT'S WHEN THE CITY, YOU KNOW, HAS A LIABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY AND THAT'S WHERE THE COST WILL COME IN.

IF THAT WATER LINE BLOWS, YOU TAKE OUT THE ROAD.

SO, YOU KNOW, IF YOU KNOW, WE'LL WE'LL WORK WITH PUBLIC WORKS AND UTILITIES TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WHATEVER WE DO IS, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY BEST FOR THE CITY.

YOU KNOW, WHETHER WE CAN BE OF ANY HELP AT ALL TO OBTAIN.

EVEN AN EASEMENT FROM THIS, I DON'T KNOW WHO THIS FELLOW IS, MAYBE HE JUST DOESN'T LIKE GOVERNMENT. I DON'T KNOW.

MAYBE HE'LL TALK TO US AND WON'T TALK TO YOU GUYS.

I REALLY DON'T KNOW. I'VE NEVER MET THE GUY.

I DON'T KNOW WHO HE IS.

I'M NOT GETTING A GOOD FEELING FROM WHAT I'M HEARING.

BUT, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY IT WOULD BE SOMETHING WE WOULD WANT TO REACH OUT AND SEE IF WE CAN, YOU KNOW? IF IT WAS ME PUTTING A WATER RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY PROPERTY MAKES MY PROPERTY MORE VALUABLE, WHY WOULD I NOT WANT TO WORK WITH SOMEBODY THAT'S GOING TO MAKE MY PROPERTY

[03:15:01]

SO. A, YOU KNOW, SOME PEOPLE DON'T THEY JUST DON'T WANT WHAT THEY DON'T KNOW, WHAT THEY DON'T WANT. BUT WE WILL MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO DO WHATEVER WE CAN TO MAKE THIS, AS YOU KNOW, AS PALATABLE TO THE CITY AS POSSIBLE IF WE HAVE TO GO A DIFFERENT ROUTE.

WE'LL GO A DIFFERENT ROUTE. I DON'T THINK THAT'S REALLY THE BEST WAY FOR FOR YOUR UTILITY SYSTEM. BUT YOU KNOW, WE WILL DO WHAT WE HAVE TO DO TO TO TO MAKE IT WORK.

AND OBVIOUSLY, WE'LL BE DEALING WITH THIS AND WE'LL BE TALKING TO YOU GUYS AND WHATEVER PROBLEMS OR HURDLES WE RUN INTO, WE'LL WE'LL TACKLE IT TOGETHER.

SO. THANK YOU.

WELL, BATTEN. BILL BATTEN 586 OCEAN SPRAY STREET, SOUTHWEST, THREE MINUTES GOES QUICK, 20 18 DEVELOPMENT PLAN JUNIOR DEVELOPMENT WAS BROUGHT IN ON GAINOR ROAD, RIGHT? SAME BUILDERS AS THESE HOLIDAYS.

THAT TIME, THE CITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDED AND APPROVED REMOVAL OF THE BERM, WHICH ALLOWED ALL TRAFFIC TO COME ON TO GAINOR ROAD MARCH OF 2021.

THE DEVELOPER PROPOSAL FOR A 60 ACRE RURAL RESIDENTIAL LAND MASS CHANGE, RIGHT, TURNED INTO ACTUALLY ONLY 30 ACRES.

APRIL 2021.

PLANNING AND ZONING RECOMMENDED DISAPPROVAL AT THAT TIME FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT.

MAY 2021.

COUNCIL APPROVES ZONING CHANGE AND PUDDY.

AT THAT TIME, I PRESENTED THAT THERE WAS NO RIGHT OF WAY ALONG GAINOR.

DECEMBER 2021, DEVELOPER PRESENTED A FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN PROPOSAL FOR 30 ACRES AT THAT MEETING, I ASKED ABOUT KNOW RIGHT OF WAY AND HOW THEY WERE GOING TO RUN THE WATER, AND I WAS TOLD, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, WE HAVE A MAGIC WAND.

I ALSO AT THAT TIME QUESTIONED GAINOR BEING A MAJOR COLLECTOR ROAD, JANUARY 2020 TO FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN TO COUNCIL.

I ASKED ABOUT KNOW RIGHT OF WAY ON GAINOR ROAD AT THIS COUNCIL MEETING FEB.

20. SECOND APPROVAL OF FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FIRST READING AT THAT MEETING, I PRESENTED NO RIGHT AWAY AND MADE IT PUBLIC NOTICE THAT THE DEVELOPER HAD SAID, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. WE HAVE A MAGIC WAND AT THAT MEETING.

I ALSO QUESTIONED GAINOR BEING A MINOR COLLECTOR ROAD.

IT IS NOT.

IT IS A LOCAL ROAD.

IN FACT, COUNCILMAN FELIX STATED, I USE IT AS A CUT THROUGH MARCH 22ND.

I MEAN, MARCH 20 22.

THIS IS FINAL READING FOR FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN, NO RIGHT OF WAY FOR WATER AND SEWER.

THIS MEANS YOU HAVE TO TEAR UP THE ROAD.

ALL TRAFFIC ROUTED ONTO A LOCAL COLLECTOR ROAD, WHICH WAS TOLD IN OTHER PREVIOUS MEETINGS, WAS A LOCAL COLLECTOR ROAD.

IT IS NOT.

IT'S A LOCAL ROAD.

THAT BEING SAID, THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO DO THE RIGHT THING.

THIS IS THE FINAL READING AND IT IS THE BUILDER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO GET THE WATER THERE.

SO YOU SHOULDN'T BE LOOKING ABOUT ANY COST TO THIS.

IF THEY WANT IT, THEY'LL PAY FOR IT.

THAT'S WHAT THE AGREEMENT WAS, AND IT HAS BEEN PRESENTED REPEATEDLY THAT THIS WAS A POTENTIAL PROBLEM BECAUSE I PERSONALLY PRESENTED IT.

SO IT'S NOT LIKE IT WAS SOMETHING THAT JUST HAPPENED.

THAT'S THE HISTORY OF THIS EVENT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU, MR. CHIEF.

AND THE OTHER SPEAKER CARDS.

WHEN I ASKED THE APPLICANT OF AN OPPORTUNITY TO.

MAKE ANY COMMENTS.

YEAH, THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR AND COUNCIL. YEAH, I'M.

OBVIOUSLY, IT'S UP TO THE DEVELOPER TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

IT HAS GONE THROUGH THIS BOARD SEVERAL TIMES.

IT WAS A LARGER PROJECT THAT WAS APPROVED.

THAT CONTRACT FELL THROUGH.

SO WE'RE DOWN TO THIS, YOU KNOW, EXTENDING UTILITIES IS PART OF THE PART OF THE DEAL, AND WE WILL ENGINEER THAT TO MAKE IT WORK.

I DON'T KNOW IF IF HAVING RIGHT AWAY OR NOT IS GOING TO STOP THIS BECAUSE I THINK THERE'S AND I I STILL DON'T KNOW WHO SAID THE MAGIC WAND THING.

I WANT TO FIND OUT WHO THAT WAS.

BUT REGARDLESS, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE MAGIC.

IT'S GOING TO BE. IT'S GOING TO TAKE ENGINEERING.

IT'S GOING TO TAKE COORDINATION AND IT'S GOING TO TAKE A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE CITY AND

[03:20:03]

SO WHATEVER WE HAVE TO DO, IT HAS TO WORK.

AND THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE SUCH A GREAT STAFF TO WORK WITH BECAUSE WE'LL COME UP WITH A WAY TO MAKE IT WORK, WHETHER WE HAVE THE ROOM, IF WE DON'T, WE'LL GO ANOTHER ROUTE AND WE'LL BRING WATER FROM EVEN FARTHER AWAY IF WE HAVE TO.

SO I THINK WE CAN MAKE IT WORK.

WE WILL DEFINITELY DOVE INTO THOSE DETAILS AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

SO WE HOPE THAT YOU WILL ALLOW US TO MOVE FORWARD AND WE WILL WE WILL PURSUE THAT.

AND TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE CITY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THIS TIME, I'M CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING.

AND WHAT IS THE COUNCIL'S PLEASURE? SO I'LL MAKE A MOTION FOR ORDINANCE TWENTY TWENTY TWO, THAT'S TWENTY NINE FINAL READING.

AT A MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON SINGING ABOUT COUNCILMAN FELIX, YES, YES, MAYOR, BECAUSE MY MY MAIN ISSUE IS WITH THE ROAD THAT'S THAT'S BEFORE, BUT MY ISSUE IS WITH THE ROAD. BUT I'VE ALSO TALKED TO OUR CITY ATTORNEY.

WHILE, YOU KNOW, I CAN'T MANDATE YOU MR. MOYO OR THE DEVELOPER TO DO IT ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, I WOULD STRONGLY LIKE TO ENCOURAGE YOU AND IMPLORE YOU TO SPEAK WITH THE GENTLEMAN, SIR, BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT THIS ROAD PAVED AT ANY BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.

I DON'T. AND BILL SAID A LOT IN THE THREE MINUTES AND HE HE WAS SPOT ON WITH A LOT.

BUT I MEAN, MY MAIN THING IS IT'S $150 MILLION BOND.

AND YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU SAID, YOU SAID IT YOURSELF AND I AGREE IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG, THEN WE GOT TO TEAR IT UP. AND ALL THOSE PEOPLE THAT WERE LOOKING TO BUILD HOUSES FOR ARE GOING TO BE AFFECTED. SO BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY, ANYWHERE ELSE, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER.

BUT SO THAT'S THAT'S WHERE I'M AT, RIGHT WITH THIS.

BUT THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.

MAYOR, THANKS, DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON, BUT IF THIS GOES THROUGH, THEN THEN THAT'S IT.

WE'RE NOT. THERE'S NOTHING ELSE THAT WE CAN DO ABOUT IT.

I AGREE. BUT YOU KNOW, AND DENIED EITHER WAY, DENY THIS.

THIS AREA IS GOING TO BE DEVELOPED ONE DAY.

ONE DAY, REGARDLESS IS GOING TO BE DEVELOPED.

AND BUT WHEN IT IS DEVELOPED, WHETHER IT'S TONIGHT OR A YEAR FROM NOW OR FIVE YEARS FROM NOW, THIS IS GOING TO BE AN ISSUE FOR THAT COUNCIL OR FOR WHOEVER IT IS.

SO I'M I'M LOOKING YOU IN THE EYE.

MR. MOYER, I'M SORRY FOR GRILLING YOU LIKE THIS, BUT I WANT THIS DONE RIGHT THE FIRST TIME, SIR. AND.

BECAUSE REGARDLESS, WHOEVER, IF WE DENY IT, THE NEXT APPLICANT COMES UP, IT CAN BE THE SAME CASE OR IF WE DENY THAT ONE NEXT APPLICANT COMES UP IS GOING TO BE THE SAME CASE.

REGARDS TO MAKING SURE THE WATER LINES AND SEWER LINES ARE DONE PROPERLY FOR THIS AREA BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING RIGHT NOW.

SO THAT'S WHY I MET WITH THIS.

I APPRECIATE THAT DEPUTY MAYOR COUNCILMAN FELIX.

HE'S SECONDED THE MOTION.

YOU WANTED TO WEIGH IN.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. AND AS FAR AS THE PROJECT ITSELF AND I VOTED, I VOTED FOR IT.

TWO WEEKS AGO, I'M WILLING TO SUPPORT THE PROJECT AGAIN.

THE MATTER OUT OF HAND RIGHT NOW, IT'S NOT SO MUCH THE PROJECT ITSELF, IT'S IT'S THE UTILITY SERVICES.

AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT UNEASY, FIXED, EVERY MAYOR MENTIONED THAT ENCOURAGING MR. MOIR TO GO BACK AND SEE IF WE CAN ENGAGE WITH THIS HOME PROPERTY OWNER.

THAT WOULD BE THE EASY, EASY SOLUTION.

HOPEFULLY, WE CAN REACH THAT AND.

I'VE CERTAINLY DAYS IN AN EASY WAY AND WHATEVER, YOU KNOW, AS LONG AS THE DEVELOPER IS WILLING TO PICK UP THE TAB, I'M ALL FOR IT.

STILL STANDING BEHIND A.

THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN FELIX.

COUNCILMAN FOSTER, YOU WANTED TO WEIGH IN BEFORE I'VE.

YES, THANK YOU. AND NOW FOR TURN UP.

PAVLO? UM, I JUST DON'T SEE THE LOGIC OF THAT.

UM. SO, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE OPTIONS OF EMINENT DOMAIN.

AND. WHICH? THE PERSON THE PROPERTY OWNER GET PAID FOR THEIR PROPERTY.

IT'S NOT LIKE HE'S STILL IN SOMEBODY'S PROPERTY, THEY'RE GETTING PAID FOR IT AND THEY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SELL THE PROPERTY BEFORE YOU APPLY EMINENT DOMAIN.

BUT THE PERSON DON'T WANT TO DO IT FOR WHATEVER REASONS, THAT'S HIS RIGHT.

BUT THE CITY HAS RIGHTS TOO AND HAVE CERTAIN THINGS THAT A LOCAL GOVERNMENT DOES.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOES STATE GOVERNMENT USE EVERY GOVERNMENT IN THE UNITED STATES USE

[03:25:04]

IT WON'T BE THE FIRST TIME IF WE HAVE TO EXERCISE IT.

MY CONCERN WITH EMINENT DOMAIN? DOES IT COST MORE? IS IT GOING TO COST US MORE THAN TEARING UP THE ROAD AND PUTTING A WATER MAIN? AND THEN ONCE WE DO THAT, IF SOMETHING HAPPENS, THE CITY IS ON THE HOOK.

AND I DON'T WANT TO BE ON COUNCIL IF WE PUT A WATER MAIN IN THAT MIDDLE OF THAT ROAD.

AND A YEAR LATER, IT BURST AND I HEAR BILL BATON, I TOLD YOU, YOU SHOULDN'T DO THAT.

I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT. I DON'T WANT TO HEAR BILL BRATTON SAY THAT, AND HE PROBABLY WILL SAY THAT, AND HE WOULD BE 100 PERCENT RIGHT.

THOUGH. UM, ALTHOUGH I DID VOTED FOR THE PROJECT.

AND. LIT ON THE FENCE FOR THE FIRST TIME.

AND. I NEED.

I WOULD LIKE THE CITY TO SEE WHAT OPTIONS WE HAVE.

I LIKE I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOUR PROJECT, MR. MOYER, BUT. I IMPLORE YOU TO GO AND TALK TO THIS GENTLEMAN, WHOEVER HE IS OR SHE IS, AND SEE IF YOU COULD PERSUADE THEM.

SEE IT BEING IN HIS BEST INTEREST, AS YOU SAY, IS THE PROPERTY.

I'M HOPE I'M RIGHT, BUT I'M ABOUT TO DO SO, I'M GOING TO WANT TO SUPPORT IT, BUT MY NIGHTMARE WOULD BE BILL BRATTON COMING TO THAT PODIUM A YEAR FROM NOW AND SAYING, HEY, WE GOT A WATER MAIN. I'M GOING TO DRIVE YOU.

I SCREWED UP. I REALLY WILL.

I WON'T SLEEP WELL.

I LIKE SLEEPING. NO, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN FOSTER, I THINK.

MR. CHIEF BRATTON HAS BEEN COMING AND TELLING US THAT FROM FROM DAY ONE, AS HE HE PROVIDED THE HISTORY OF THIS PROJECT, I DIDN'T SUPPORT THIS PROJECT FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. I I'VE STATED IT IN THE PAST, BUT IT'S GOING TO MOVE FORWARD FROM WHAT I CAN TELL. I CAN COUNT BOTH.

WELL, I'M UP HERE, BUT THIS THIS HAS GOTTEN A LITTLE MORE COMPLICATED, AND I DO AGREE.

WHEN YOU BUILD IT UNDERNEATH THAT UNDERNEATH THE ROAD BROTHER AND SOMETHING HAPPENS TO THAT FORCE MAKING IT, IT JUST CAUSES NOT ONLY HEADACHES, BUT THE AFTERMATH OF IT.

YOU KNOW, THAT WHOLE ROAD WILL BE TEARED UP AND AND IT EVEN GETS WORSE AND WORSE THE MORE WATER THAT FLOODS INTO THAT UNDERGROUND AREA.

AND THAT WOULD BE VERY COSTLY.

AND AT THAT TIME, THE DEVELOPERS ARE NOT GOING TO SAY, HEY, LISTEN, I KNOW I WANT TO SHARE THE COST OF, YOU KNOW, REBUILDING THAT IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN THAT WAY, GENTLEMEN. BUT WE'VE ALL MADE OUR COMMENTS.

WE HAVE A MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN FELIX ALL IN FAVOR, SAY I. ALL OPPOSED, SAY NAY, NAY PASSES THREE TO ONE.

DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON.

BILL BENNETT. BILL BURTON, FIVE EIGHTY SIX, OCEAN SPRAY STREET, SOUTHWEST.

THE PERSON WHO IS PURCHASING THIS LAND, THEY WERE GETTING A GREAT BUY AT THEIR ORIGINAL COST OF 2.3 ACRES FOR ONLY ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS.

THAT THAT IN ITSELF, RIGHT THERE IS A FANTASTIC PURCHASE PRICE FOR LAND IN THE CITY OF PALM BAY, WHEN LOTS ARE GOING FOR $40000 FOR A QUARTER ACRE, LOT TO GET TWO POINT THREE FOR ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS.

THAT'S GREAT.

BUT THEN FOR THE INDIVIDUAL TO COME UP AND SAY, WELL, THIS MY PLAN'S NOT WORKING OUT THE WAY I WANT, SO I WANT TO REDUCE MY PRICE BY $70000.

SO I THINK WHEN YOU GUYS GO WITH THAT PLAN, THOUGH, THERE MEANS NOW THE INDIVIDUAL IS

[03:35:02]

YET LOTS ARE GOING QUARTER ACRE, LOTS ARE GOING FOR $40000.

OR TWO, TWO POINT THREE ACRES, SO MY SUGGESTION ON THIS ONE, SINCE WE'RE JUST DEBATING WHEN WE JUST SOLD ONE LOT.

ON THE BCRA LANDMASS FOR TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS, THAT'S WHAT WE SOLD IT FOR.

SO HERE'S SOMEBODY WANTS TO 2.3 ACRES.

AND THEY'RE SAYING, WELL, IT WAS A BAD DEAL, I WANTED TO DEVELOP IT, BUT THAT DOESN'T WORK WELL FOR ME.

SO I WANT TO I WANT YOU TO TAKE I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO GIVE YOU AS MUCH MONEY AS I SAID.

I WOULD LET THIS INDIVIDUAL SIT ON THEIR MONEY FOR A WHILE LONGER.

MAYBE THE VALUE OF THAT LAND OF THAT TWO POINT THREE ACRES WILL TURN INTO SOMETHING EVEN BETTER THAN WHAT THIS PERSON IS PROPOSING BECAUSE THEY MADE AN OFFER, THEY BACKED OUT ON IT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T LIKE IT, BUT THEY WANTED YOU TO REACH INTO YOUR POCKET, BOOK AND GIVE HIM SOME MONEY OR HER.

I DON'T KNOW IF THIS A PERSON WAS A WOMAN OR A FEMALE.

I DON'T KNOW, BUT IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE BAD BUSINESS PRACTICE ON THE CITY'S PART.

IF YOU WENT ALONG WITH THIS, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MASTER CHIEF.

ANY OTHER SPEAKER, THE DEPUTY MAYOR, MADAM SHERMAN.

I YES, MAYOR, IF YOU'D LIKE ME TO HAVE NANCY BUTLER, COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR, COME UP, YOU CAN SPEAK TO SOME OF THE HISTORY ON THIS PROPERTY AND THE THE CMA TYPE ASPECTS OF HOW WE GOT TO THE PRICING ON THE PROPERTY.

THANK YOU, MA'AM. COUNSEL COUNCIL, THIS WAS BROUGHT TO YOU BEFORE WHEN THEY WHEN THE BUYER, FRED TUNISIE, CONSTRUCTION, HE HAD PROVIDED THE COUNTEROFFER, HE PROVIDED THE ORIGINAL OFFER AND THEN ONCE HE DURING HIS DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD, HE REALIZED HE COULD NOT SUBDIVIDE THE PROPERTY AS HE WANTED TO BECAUSE HE WOULD HAVE TO BRING WATER AND SEWER.

SO THE MOST THAT HE COULD SUBDIVIDE, IT WOULD BE WITH TWO PARCELS, AND THEN HE WOULDN'T HAVE TO BRING THE WATER AND SEWER.

SO HE COUNTERED, OFFERED AT 70000.

WE HAD OUR RESIDENTIAL BROKER PROVIDE ANOTHER CMA BASED ON THAT.

AND SO SHE HER ESTIMATE WAS ONE HUNDRED AND ONE THOUSAND ONE NINETY FOUR FIFTY.

SO THIS CAME BACK TO COUNCIL ON JANUARY SIX, AND THE CITY COUNCIL COUNTER OFFERED THE ONE HUNDRED AND ONE THOUSAND ONE NINETY FOUR FIFTY, AND HE ACCEPTED THAT.

SO SO NOW WE'RE AT THE PART WHERE THERE'S A RESOLUTION TO ACTUALLY TRANSFER THE TITLE FOR THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY.

HE QUESTIONS COUNCIL.

YEAH, I'VE COUNCILWOMAN FOSTER, WHAT WAS THE ORIGINAL? I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED. WHAT WAS HIS ORIGINAL OFFER FOR THE PROPERTY? ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY FIVE. FIVE HUNDRED THIRTY FIVE.

IN THIS CMA CAME UP TO.

A ONE ONE OH, ONE, ONE, NINETY FOUR AND FIFTY CENTS IS WHAT WHAT SHE CAME UP WITH.

IT WAS ALSO SOME WETLANDS ON THE PROPERTY, WHICH HE WOULD DURING HIS DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD WOULD THEN HAVE TO IDENTIFY THE GRADE OF THE WETLANDS.

RIGHT. AND WE KIND OF OFFER WAS THE ONE HUNDRED AND ONE THOUSAND ONE NINETY FOUR FIFTY.

THAT WAS YOUR COUNTEROFFER ON JANUARY SIX.

HE ACCEPTED THAT.

OK, ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

I REMEMBER THERE WERE WETLANDS AND SHOES REGARDING THAT, OK? YEAH. COUNCILMAN, DO YOU KNOW WHAT? WHAT PORTION OF THE PROPERTY IS CONSIDERED? WHAT THE WHOLE AREA ON THE PARCEL? WE HAD A MAP OF IT IN THE BASICALLY ALL IN THE MIDDLE.

HE JUST HAD TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT HE'D HAVE TO MITIGATE THE WETLANDS, WHAT TYPE OF WETLANDS THEY WERE AT THAT POINT IN TIME HE DIDN'T KNOW.

SO I'M ASSUMING BECAUSE HE'S GOING FORWARD WITH THIS, HE'S DONE HIS DUE DILIGENCE AND IT'S NOT COST PROHIBITIVE FOR HIM TO MITIGATE THE WETLANDS.

I SUPPOSE IT WAS A FEASIBILITY STUDY DONE BY HIM THAT DECLARED THAT PORTION OF THE PROPERTY. I WOULD ASSUME HE DID THAT.

YES, INDEED WE DID.

WE VERIFY THAT OR JUST WE TOOK NO BECAUSE HE WANTED TO GO FORWARD WITH PURCHASING THE PROPERTY. SO THAT'S ON HIS DUE DILIGENCE.

AND AS IT STANDS, SHOULD WE ACCEPT THAT HE'S HE'S HE UNDERSTAND THE ONLY CAN PUT TWO RIGHT INTO THE PROPERTY? I MEAN, I KNOW I'M NOT SURE HOW.

I'M WITH MS. BILL BY MR. BOUGHTON THERE. RIGHT.

I MUST HAVE MISSED THAT, BUT SINCE WE SINCE WE AGREED TO IT, I MEAN, I'LL BE WILLING TO HONOR IT. THE COUNTER-OFFER, BUT A I WOULD AGREE HE'S GETTING A GOOD DEAL OR LESS.

[03:40:07]

I'LL BE WILLING TO HONOR IT, SINCE WE ALREADY.

DOWNER AND HE ACCEPTED THAT'S, YOU KNOW, GETTING THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN THERE, THE WATER AND THE SEWER AND MITIGATING THE LIKE ONLY IF HE DECIDED TO SUBDIVIDE IT MORE THAN MORE THAN ONCE. SO IF HE HE'S GOING TO BUILD WITH SEPTIC, I BELIEVE HE'S NOT THE IT'S COST PROHIBITIVE FOR HIM TO GET THE WATER AND SEWER LINES.

WE WORK WITH CHRIS LYTTLE AND AND THEN CHRIS BALTER WHEN HE WAS HERE, AND THAT'S WHY HE'S ONLY GOING TO SUBDIVIDE IT ONCE.

SO HE'S GOING TO HAVE ONE PARCEL THAT HE'S GOING TO BUILD A HOUSE ON AND THE OTHER PARCEL, HE SAID THAT ONE OF HIS FAMILY MEMBERS, I BELIEVE, WAS HIS SON THAT WAS GOING TO BUILD ON IT. HOW CLOSE IS THE WATER? FROM WHAT THE REMEMBER WHAT THE ROAD IS, IT WAS UM, IT WAS QUITE A DISTANCE.

THERE'S. UP THERE, IF CITY ATTORNEY CAN ALSO SPEAK BRIEFLY BECAUSE AS YOU WERE, I JUST HAD A QUESTION. HOW CLOSE? THE PROXIMITY OF THE WATER AND SEWER, WE HAVE THAT INFORMATION.

OKAY, CARRY ON.

AND A. I KNOW YOU ALL ARE GETTING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE COUNSEL REALIZES WE ALREADY HAVE A BINDING CONTRACT.

THE RESOLUTION ISN'T NECESSARY FOR THE CONTRACT.

THE RESOLUTION IS SOMETHING THAT WE OFTEN DO BECAUSE TITLE COMPANY, IT HELPS TITLE COMPANIES TO CLEAR UP THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAD NO PUBLIC PURPOSE AND AS FAR AS TITLE INSURANCE. BUT WHEN YOU ALL MADE THE COUNTER OFFER AND HE ACCEPTED, WE HAVE A CONTRACT FOR THE SALE. SO IT WASN'T CONTINGENT UPON A RESOLUTION, IT WAS CONTINGENT ON ANYTHING.

WE'VE ALREADY GOTTEN THAT THIS IS REALLY JUST DID IT TO HELP HIM OUT WHEN HE GOES THROUGH TITLE IP.

THAT MAN. OK.

THAT. THAT ANSWERS A LOT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MA'AM.

ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. WE HAVE WE HAVE AN ISSUE HERE, GENTLEMEN, BUT LIKE YOU SAID, HONORING THAT. SO.

I NEED A MOTION MR. TO PROVE RESOLUTION 20 20 TO DASH 12 SECOND AND A MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN FELIX.

I THINK I THINK, YOU KNOW, MS. THE REAL REALTOR DOWN AT MY LEFT END, DONNY FELIX, I THINK YOU'VE BEEN PRETTY GOOD AT, YOU KNOW, BRINGING PEOPLE FORWARD AND PUTTING THEM, YOU KNOW, ON THE DIME WHEN IT COMES TO THIS REAL ESTATE MARKET RIGHT HERE.

YOU'RE ALWAYS ADAMANT ABOUT THAT.

BUT THIS THIS IS ALREADY A FOREGONE CONCLUSION, SO ALL IN FAVOR PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

BEFORE WE GO TO UNFINISHED BUSINESS, I'D LIKE TO TAKE AT LEAST A THREE MINUTE RECESS.

I'M GOING TO CALL THIS MEETING BACK TO ORDER.

WE ARE ON UNFINISHED BUSINESS.

ITEM NUMBER ONE DEPUTY MARY JOHNSON THANK YOU, MAYOR.

[UNFINISHED AND OLD BUSINESS]

PHIL WEINBERG TO THE BAYFRONT COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AT LARGE POSITION.

AND A MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON, SECONDED BY ROB MEDINA, THE MAYOR.

ALL IN FAVOR. I PASSED THE HOUSE UNANIMOUSLY.

ITEM NUMBER TWO, I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE DON JORDAN TO THE ADULT MEMBER POSITION OF THE YOUTH ADVISORY BOARD.

AT A MOTION BAILEY, DUP DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON SEEING BY COUNCILMAN FELIX, ALL IN FAVOR HIGH FENCES UNANIMOUSLY.

WE'RE ON ITEM NUMBER ONE UNDER NEW BUSINESS.

MADAM SHERMAN.

[NEW BUSINESS]

WE'VE HAD A VERY DIFFICULT TIME FINDING THOSE ITEMS OR THOSE VEHICLES DUE TO JUST DIFFICULTIES IN THE AUTOMOBILE MARKET.

SO THIS PARTICULAR ITEM IS A REQUEST TO PURCHASE 10 DODGE DURANGO CARS.

BUT CONSIDERING WHAT WE CALL SPECIAL PROCUREMENT AND WAIVER OF PROCUREMENT PROCESS.

SO IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE TYPICALLY DO, WHERE WE TRY TO FIND COOPERATIVE PURCHASE ARRANGEMENT OR DO A BIT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

THIS IS A REQUEST ESSENTIALLY TO DO A DIRECT PURCHASE FROM A DEALER ESSENTIALLY FOR THESE 10 VEHICLES BECAUSE THEY'RE VERY HARD TO FIND AND WE WERE FORTUNATE TO FIND THESE AND HAVE THEM HOLD THEM FOR US SO WE COULD COME TO COUNCIL AND ASK YOU FOR PERMISSION TO BUY THEM. THE OTHER SEVEN THAT WE HAVE BUDGETED, WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY WE THOUGHT TO GET ON A

[03:45:03]

BUT THE DODGE CORPORATE FOLKS NOTIFIED THE DEALER OR WE HAD THESE OTHER.

THE OTHER SEVEN SECURED NOTIFIED THE DEALER THIS WEEK THAT THEY WERE CANCELING AN ENTIRE ORDER FOR FIVE HUNDRED DURING THOSE THAT THEY WERE GOING TO BUILD AND SEND OUT THROUGHOUT AMERICA SOMEWHERE.

SO WE DON'T CURRENTLY HAVE A LEAD ON HOW TO GET THE OTHER SEVEN RIGHT NOW, BUT WE'D LIKE TO PROCEED WITH THESE 10 BASED ON THE CHALLENGES WE'RE HAVING ACTUALLY FINDING VEHICLES.

COPY THAT, MA'AM, THANK YOU.

DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON AND SPEAKER CARDS.

RIGHT, I NEED A MOTION, GENTLEMEN MOTION TO APPROVE THE SPECIAL PROCUREMENT AND WAIVER OF PROCUREMENT PROCESS FOR PURCHASE OF 10 20 20 ONE DODGE DURANGO V8S FROM STEP ONE AUTOMOTIVE GROUP OUT OF FORT WALTON BEACH, FLORIDA, SECOND AT A MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON SEEING BY COUNCILMAN FELIX.

ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION, GENTLEMEN, LET'S START LOOKING AT ELECTRIC VEHICLES POLICE DEPARTMENT. YOU KNOW WELL OR HYBRID.

THINK HYBRID? YOU NEED HORSEPOWER, DON'T YOU? YEAH. SO AS TECHNOLOGY IMPROVES, I GUESS.

BUT YEAH, SO.

SO I'D LIKE TO.

I'D LIKE TO JUST SAY.

HE'S VEHICLES, THEY'RE GOING TO GET TOUGHER, THEY'RE FINE.

REALLY, WHAT'S GOING ON TODAY, BUT I GOT A A MOTION, CAN I COUNCILMAN TO THE CITY MANAGER? ARE THESE? AT LEAST PACKAGE DODGE DURANGO.

YES, I BELIEVE THEY ARE.

THEIR PURSUIT VEHICLES, THE TECHNICAL PEOPLE ARE IN THE BACK IF YOU NEED MORE DETAILS.

BUT. NOW, CAN I HAVE THE DEPUTY CHIEF COME UP? CERTAINLY.

MARADONA'S DEPUTY CHIEF, GOOD EVENING, CHIEF.

OF WHY? WHY DID YOU PICK THIS PARTICULAR? WHY NOT FOR THE SHERMAN JUST.

PRICE, THEY WERE THE CHEAPEST BURAK.

WOW. THAT THEY BE THE MOST EXPENSIVE.

OK. IN THE PERFORMANCE, I KNOW YOU HAVE SOME NEW NEWER VEHICLES.

CORRECT. WE HAVE A FEW DURANGO THAT WE GOT THIS PAST YEAR OR LAST YEAR, AND SO FAR WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THEM.

SO THE PERFORMANCE WISE, THEY SAY PURSUIT, IT'S NOT TO CHASE ANYBODY.

THAT'S THE POLICE PACKAGE. THAT'S WHAT THEY CALL THEM.

SO THEY'RE FULLY UPGRADED IN TERMS OF HIGH MAINTENANCE, LEFT LIFTING, SUSPENSION AND WEIGHT AND ALL THAT THINGS. SO ACCOMPLISH YOUR MISSION TO HAVE AN SUV VERSUS A.

CHARGER. WELL, AS WE GET INTO MODERN TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATIONS AND COMPUTERS AND DATABASES, IT TAKES A LOT OF ROOM INSIDE THE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE A FIELD TRAINING OFFICER AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE TWO PEOPLE IN THE CAR.

YOU KNOW, THE CAR IS SOMETIMES WE'RE, YOU KNOW.

KIND OF GROWN OUT OF THEM.

AND. HAVE HAVE YOU ACHIEVED CONSIDERED HYBRID OR ELECTRIC? WE DID. I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHERE WE WERE WITH THAT AS FAR AS PRICING GOES, AS FAR AS COST, THE MAINTENANCE AND ALL THAT.

SO I'M NOT I DON'T REALLY DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION FOR YOU RIGHT NOW, BUT I THOUGHT WE DISCUSSED IT AT LOOK AT IT AT SOME POINT.

DEFINITELY NOT ELECTRIC CARS.

I THINK THAT WOULD BE A LITTLE BIT.

YOU KNOW, COST AND MAINTENANCE AND STATIONS EVERYWHERE TO CHARGE THE VEHICLES, BECAUSE ON AVERAGE, OUR FOLKS ARE PUTTING, PARTICULARLY ON THE NIGHT SHIFT, ABOUT 200 MILES ON THE VEHICLE WHEN THEY'RE PATROLLING.

SO THAT'S THAT'S ABOUT AN AVERAGE PER DAY.

WELL, PRETTY MUCH A TANK OF GAS.

OH YEAH, IT'S A BUSY NIGHT AND IT'S BEEN BUSY FOR THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF.

THANK THANK YOU, SIR.

THANK YOU FOR DOING. THANK YOU, DEPUTY CHIEF.

AT A MOTION. AND A SECOND.

ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR, AS IS UNANIMOUSLY ITEM NUMBER TWO.

MADAME SHERMAN. THANK YOU, MAYOR.

I'LL JUST BRIEFLY GO OVER THIS AND THEN IF YOU NEED ADDITIONAL DETAILS, WE'LL BRING UP A DEPUTY CHIEF AGAIN.

ESSENTIALLY, THIS IS A REQUEST TO USE ETF FUNDING TO PROCURE A SOFTWARE CALLED FUZE THIS ONE. THIS WOULD BE UNDER A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT.

IT IS A THREE YEAR AGREEMENT WE WOULD BE SIGNING UP FOR.

THE USE OF LTF WOULD ONLY BE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS FISCAL YEAR, WHICH WOULD BE ABOUT IT WOULD BE THIRTY SEVEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS UTAH YEAR.

THE YEAR TWO AND THREE EACH WOULD BE AROUND SIXTY FIVE THOUSAND.

AND ESSENTIALLY, WHAT THE SOFTWARE DOES IS IT CREATES AN INTEGRATED PLATFORM FOR US TO

[03:50:03]

AND THE SYSTEM DOES ANALYTICS AND ENABLES US TO SPEED UP INVESTIGATIONS ON CASES.

AND THAT'S KIND OF THE HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW.

BUT. YOU NEED MORE DETAILS, DEPUTY CHIEF CAN HANDLE THAT FOR YOU.

I THINK IT'S GOOD TO LET THE PUBLIC KNOW.

YOU KNOW, MORE OF THE DETAILS, HOW BENEFICIAL THIS SOFTWARE WOULD BE FOR THE MEN AND WOMEN THAT INVESTIGATE AND BRING, YOU KNOW, GET ALL THIS DATA TOGETHER TO PROVIDE THEIR SERVICES. GOOD EVENING.

AND JUST LIKE CITY MANAGER MENTIONED, THE ASIDE FROM THE ANALYTICS AND THE INTEL THAT HELPS OUR INTELLIGENCE UNITS, WE HAVE AN INTELLIGENCE UNIT WITHIN A POLICE DEPARTMENT WHICH CONSISTS OF TWO OF OUR CRIME ANALYSTS THAT WE HAVE TWO OF THE BEST IN THE COUNTY, IF NOT CENTRAL FLORIDA.

WHAT IT DOES IT.

AND I'M NOT AN I.T. PERSON, SO BRIAN, DON'T ROLL YOUR EYES AT ME.

I MEAN, I MAY USE THE WRONG VERBIAGE, BUT IT PROVIDES CAPABILITIES TO INTEGRATE WITH OUR CURRENT SYSTEMS AND SOFTWARES THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE, WHICH MEANS WE WOULD SAVE MONEY IN THE LONG RUN. FOR EXAMPLE, EVIDENCE IS WHAT WE DO FOR DIGITAL EVIDENCE WITH OUR AXON CAMERAS OR BODY WORN CAMERAS THAT WE HAVE, THAT WE DOWNLOADING THE VIDEO TOO.

WE ALREADY HAVE THAT SOFTWARE, SO IT'S COMPATIBLE WITH THAT.

THE OTHER SOURCES THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT AND THE COMPETITORS DON'T PROVIDE THAT INTEGRATION AND CAPABILITY FOR US TO HAVE.

SO THAT'S A PLUS ALSO WITH THE CITY CAMERAS AT SOME POINT.

HOPEFULLY, WE'LL HAVE CAMERAS CITYWIDE AS FAR AS OUR FACILITIES, SCHOOLS, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS, WHICH WE'VE ALREADY SPOKEN TO, AND THEY'RE ON BOARD WITH IT.

COMMERCIAL BUSINESSES.

SO WHAT IT DOES, IT PROVIDES OUR FOLKS, OUR INTEL UNITS, OUR INVESTIGATORS, OUR DETECTIVES. IT'S NOT THAT WE MONITOR THE CAMERAS.

24-7 IS WHEN A CRIME OCCURS.

IT'S AN ASSET AND A TOOL THAT OUR INVESTIGATORS ARE USING TO GO BACK TO AND LOOK AT.

YOU KNOW WHAT TRANSPIRED CORRECT? AND ALSO FOR SCHOOLS, IF WE DO HAVE, GOD FORBID, AN INCIDENT AT A SCHOOL OR AN ACTIVE SHOOTER OR ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE, WE CAN DIAL IN REAL TIME AND SEE WHAT'S GOING ON AND USE THAT AS A RESOURCE FOR RESPONDING OFFICERS AS WELL OF WHAT CAPABILITIES WE WOULD NEED FOR THAT INCIDENT. SO IT'S A PLUS ACROSS THE BOARD, YOU KNOW, AND WHAT IT'S ALSO DOING NOW, IT'S NOT CONFIRMED YET, BUT THEY'RE WORKING ON THIS FUTURE IS ONE COMPANY IS WORKING ON INTEGRATING WITH AXON, WHICH IS WHERE WE GOT THE BODY CAMERAS FROM TO BE ABLE TO USE THAT AS WELL WITH OUR BODY CAMERAS.

SO IT'S FULL GAMUT ACROSS THE BOARD WITH ALL OF OUR SYSTEMS THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY USING.

AND IT'S ALSO COMMUNICATES, I BELIEVE, COMMUNICATES IS THE RIGHT WORD WITH OUR CAD SYSTEM, WITH OUR DISPATCHERS.

SO IT'S A VALUABLE RESOURCE THAT WE'LL NEED.

THANK YOU, SIR. I APPRECIATE YOU SHARING THOSE THOSE COMMENTS.

COUNCILMAN FOSTER. DOES IT DO IN THIS FUSION? CAN IT DO FACE RECOGNITION? NO, IT HAS THAT CAPABILITY, BUT THAT'S A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PROGRAM THAT WE'RE WE'RE NOT PURCHASING WITH THIS PROGRAM.

YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED IN DOING THAT RIGHT NOW.

NOT RIGHT NOW, AND IT'S IT'S PRETTY EXPENSIVE.

YEAH, I KNOW THAT'S WHY I KNOW IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE.

YEAH, BUT IT'S A GOOD TOOL, THOUGH.

YEAH, SURE. AND THIS, AMANDA, THIS IS JUST OUR FIRST STEP WITH THE PROGRAM WE VISITED A YEAR AGO. OUR INTEL UNIT VISITED ST.

CLOUD PD. THEY WERE GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO HOST US THERE, AND THEY HAVE ONE UP AND RUNNING.

THEY'VE HAD ONE FOR A FEW YEARS.

IT'S A REAL TIME CRIME CENTER.

AND WHAT? AND THEY UTILIZE FEATURES.

ONE PLATFORM, ORLANDO PD, ALSO UTILIZES IT VOLUSIA COUNTY, HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY AND MIAMI PD. SO THERE THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

IT'S A PRETTY GOOD PROGRAM, AND THE FACE RECOGNITION IS PART OF THAT SOFTWARE THAT YOU CAN PURCHASE AND INCLUDE WITH IT.

AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'LL PROBABLY LOOK TO MOVE FORWARD DOWN THE ROAD, BUT WE JUST WANT TO GET UP AND RUNNING BECAUSE WE STILL HAVE TO THEN, YOU KNOW, GET THE INSIDES OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, A ROOM SET ESTABLISHED FOR THAT SPECIFIC PROGRAM AND THE INTELLIGENCE UNIT TO BE UP AND RUNNING.

SO I. YOU KNOW, MY PRIOR BACKGROUND, I DO.

MARSHAL SERVICE, YOU USE ALL TYPE OF TECHNOLOGY, AND IT'S VERY HELPFUL IN FIGHTING CRIME AND FACE RECOGNITION.

JUST GIVE YOU EXAMPLE.

PREACHING TO THE CHOIR, I'M TELLING YOU THIS.

SOMEBODY COMES IN THE SUBWAY TONIGHT AND ROBS IT AND THEY GOT A CAMERA AND CAUGHT THAT PHOTO. LIKE, YOU COULD USE THAT AND.

DOWNLOAD IT AND PROBABLY IDENTIFY SOMEONE THAT LOOKS SIMILAR OR CLOSE TO.

ROBBER CORRECT EYE USING THE FACE RECOGNITION.

OR RECOGNITION, RECOGNIZING A CAR TAG OR A CHILD MISSING CHILD, SOMEBODY?

[03:55:07]

LAW ENFORCEMENT.

I HOPE YOU DO THAT BECAUSE I'D BE WILLING TO SUPPORT SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

I TAKE YOU TO ANOTHER LEVEL.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT? ABSOLUTELY.

AND OUR TEAM THAT'S BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR OVER A YEAR, VISITING OTHER LOCATIONS, OTHER POLICE DEPARTMENTS WITH THE VENDORS AS WELL.

SO I HAVE NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THAT'S THAT'S PART OF THE PACKAGE MOVING FORWARD.

IS THIS SOFTWARE COULD BE INTEGRATE THAT? OH, YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

OK, THANK YOU. IN COUNCIL, DID THESE SOFTWARES, THEY'RE ALWAYS UPDATED, SO, YOU KNOW, TO YOUR POINT, THE FEDERAL BUDGET IS A LOT BETTER THAN OURS.

BUT AS AS WE GET MORE, IT BECOMES MORE COMMONPLACE.

OF COURSE IT DOES COME DOWN, BUT DEPUTY CHIEF DOES DOES KNOW THAT IT IS STILL COSTLY.

WE'LL GET THERE FROM HERE.

ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, SIR.

YES, SIR. APPRECIATE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT.

I KNOW YOU BRING A LOT OF FEDERAL KNOWLEDGE TO LAW ENFORCEMENT.

SO THANK YOU. I WANT OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT TO BE TOP NOTCH AND IS TOP NOTCH.

BUT I'M GOING TO. IT IS.

YES, I WOULD, YOU KNOW, MAKE THE FDLE LOOK LIKE CHILD'S PLAY.

BILL GOOD. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, DEPUTY CHIEF.

OK. BILL BURTON.

BURTON, FIVE EIGHTY SIX, OCEAN SPRAY STREET, SOUTHWEST.

I JUST HAD ONE CONCERN WITH THIS ONE WITH THE INCREASED CYBER RISKS THAT WE'RE FACING RIGHT NOW. I HAD A LITTLE BIT OF A FEAR ABOUT THE POTENTIAL OF HACKING ON THIS SOFTWARE SYSTEM, WHAT THAT COULD DO FOR OPENING UP ANYBODY TO ONE ONE GENERAL LOCATION SITE THAT THEY CAN ACCESS EVERYTHING WITHIN THE CITY BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE BUSINESSES, SCHOOLS, CITY CHAMBERS, ANYTHING AT THAT POINT IF SOMEBODY HACKS THE SYSTEM, THAT'S ALSO GIVING THEM THAT SAME ABILITY THAT WE WANT THE POLICE FORCE TO HAVE.

AND YOUR SECURITY IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE CRIMINALS LACK OF KNOWLEDGE TRYING TO REMIND THAT I SAY, LET'S DON'T FORGET OLD SCHOOL TOO.

ALL RIGHT. THE OLD SCHOOL POLICING AND AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE IT.

DON'T WORRY, BILL. SO I'M I FEEL SOMEWHAT SAFE AS LONG AS SOMEBODY IS WATCHING MY SECURITY ON MY COMPUTER SYSTEMS. THANK YOU. WE'VE GOT MASTER CHIEF.

WELL. MEAN, A MOTION A MOTION APPROVE THE EXPENDITURES FROM LETV UP TO THIRTY SEVEN THOUSAND IN APPROVED AWARD OF A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT FOR THE FUZES ONE SOFTWARE PLATFORM FROM US FORCES USES FUZES.

JUST ONE SECOND.

I GOT A MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON SINGING BY COUNCILMAN FOSTER.

I NEED FURTHER DISCUSSION, GENTLEMEN.

ALL IN FAVOR OF US AS UNANIMOUSLY ITEM NUMBER THREE, MADAM SHERMAN, THANK YOU, MAYOR.

THIS IS AN ITEM REQUESTING YOUR CONSIDERATION OF AN AMENDMENT TO OUR EXISTING AGREEMENT WITH FPTP, FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION RELATED TO OUR TWO NUTRIENT BAFFLE BOXES. ESSENTIALLY, WE ARE.

IT'S VERY EXCITING. WE'RE ASKING TO CHANGE THE LOCATION FROM THE ORIGINAL LOCATION, WHICH WAS PALM BAY ROAD, NEXT TO THE OLD FIRE STATION PROPERTY TO A LOCATION UPSTREAM ALONG LIPSCOMBE. FDP HAS ALREADY GIVEN THEIR APPROVAL OF THIS NEW LOCATION, SO WE'RE JUST ASKING COUNCIL'S APPROVAL AS WELL.

THANK YOU, MA'AM. ANY SPEAKER CARD'S DEPUTY MAYOR, DID YOU WANT TO TOUCH ON THE REASON WHY WE WERE MOVING THAT, MA'AM? YEAH. SO ESSENTIALLY THE THE ORIGINAL LOCATION ALONG PALM BAY ROAD ENDED UP WITH A LOT OF COMPLICATED DESIGN ISSUES.

WE WERE GOING TO BE WORKING PARTIALLY IN BREVARD COUNTY.

RIGHT OF WAY WAS ONE OF THE PROBLEMS. THERE WERE ADDITIONAL PIPES THAT WERE COMING INTO THAT AREA THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO RESOLVE CONFLICTS WITH. SO IT WAS JUST SIMPLER TO FIND ANOTHER LOCATION THAT WAS ONLY IN PALM BAY RIGHT OF WAY WHERE WE COULD, PUT SIMPLY PUT, THE BAFFLE BOX IN AND LET IT LET IT DO ITS JOB. AND THIS A LITTLE FURTHER UPSTREAM.

SO IT'S GOING TO TAKE IN THE SAME WATER THAT WOULD HAVE GOTTEN TO THE OTHER LOCATION, ESSENTIALLY TAKING THE SAME WATER, AND IT DOESN'T AFFECT ITS ITS EFFECTIVENESS, RIGHT? CORRECT. THANK YOU, MA'AM.

AND IN MOTION, A MOTION TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO SIGN AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE TO FDP AGREEMENT LPA ZERO TWO ZERO ONE CHANGE IN THE LOCATION FROM PALM BAY ROAD TO LIPSCOMBE STREET FOR THE INSTALLATION OF ONE NUTRIENT SEPARATING BAFFLE BOX, I'LL.

BUT NO, THAT'S OK.

DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON MADE THE MOTION.

IT WAS SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN FELIX AND IF ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION.

[04:00:04]

ITEM NUMBER FOUR.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. THIS IS THE ITEM WE'VE TALKED ABOUT WITH COUNCIL PREVIOUSLY.

WE HAD INSTALLED LAST YEAR A NEW TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT EMERSON DRIVE IN GLEN COVE AVENUE.

THE RESULTING TRAFFIC FLOW CHANGES LED US TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE NEEDED TO PUT TURN LEFT TURN LANES ON EMERSON TO ACCOMMODATE TRAFFIC TURNING THERE.

AND WE ALSO NEEDED TO MODIFY THE EXISTING DETECTION SYSTEM TO PROPERLY ROUTE THE TRAFFIC, ESSENTIALLY TO AVOID BACKUPS THAT ARE PRESENTLY HAPPENING.

ESSENTIALLY, THIS IS A REQUEST TO USE TRANSPORTATION OR TRAFFIC IMPACT FEES AND THE AMOUNT OF ABOUT ONE HUNDRED AND SORRY MY THANK YOU $150000 OR THE ADDITION OF LEFT TURN LANES.

THE OTHER THING I WILL NOTE FOR COUNCIL IS WE ARE ALREADY 100 PERCENT DESIGN ON THIS PORTION OF EMERSON BETWEEN ST.

JOHN'S HERITAGE PARKWAY AND MINTON.

AND SO WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO IS BID OUT THE TURN LANES, THE WIDENING ALONG WITH THE PAVING FOR EMERSON, WHICH IS A ROAD BOND PROJECT.

WE'D LIKE TO BID OUT THE PROJECT TOGETHER SO THAT ONE CONTRACTOR COULD DO THE WORK AND THAT WOULD HAPPEN LATER THIS THIS CALENDAR YEAR.

THANK YOU, MA'AM. AND I REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYONE'S EFFORTS TOWARDS THIS, I'VE SEEN THIS TRAFFIC BACK UP FROM GLEN COVE ALL THE WAY TO LAMPLIGHTER DURING THE HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS.

SO JUST SO THAT I UNDERSTAND THIS, THOUGH, IT'LL BE THE LEFT TURN LANE AS YOU HEAD WEST.

CORRECT. IT WOULD BE THE LEFT TURN LANE AS YOU COME EAST.

YES, YOU'LL HAVE ONE NORTHBOUND AND SOUTHBOUND RIGHT.

OUTSTANDING JOB.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, DEPUTY MAYOR.

ANY SPEAKER CARD GO BACK.

WELL, THAT IN 586 OCEAN SPRAY STREET, SOUTHWEST, I ONLY HAD THE CONQUEST OF THE LANDS FOR THE ROAD WERE NOT IN THE AGENDA PACKET.

BUT THE CITY ENGINEER PROVIDED THEM TO ME.

SO NOW I CAN AT LEAST BECOME A LITTLE BIT MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE, SO I MAKE INTELLIGENT DECISIONS WHEN I ADDRESS YOU.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THAT'S IT. I NEED A MOTION MOTION TO APPROVE THE EMERSON DRIVE WAITING FOR THE LEFT TURN LANES AT GLEN COVE AVENUE AND FIND THE WINDING USING TRAFFIC IMPACT FEES IN THE AMOUNT OF ONE HUNDRED FIFTY EIGHT THOUSAND A SECOND THAT.

GOT A MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON, SECONDED BY MAYOR MEDINA.

YES, YES, YOU CALL PART OF MY DISCUSSION WITH A SHERMAN WAS AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS ITEM.

LEAVE, MENDEL, WHICH IS THE VERY NEXT STREET ON WEST OF THE SAME ISSUE.

IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, THERE'S A TRAFFIC LIGHT AS WELL.

THERE IS THAT NOW.

NO, NOT NO, SIR.

IT'S COME ON, COME ON.

THE ONLY WHEN. AGAIN, FRANK WATANABE, THE CITY ENGINEER, THE TWO STREETS ARE TO, YOU KNOW, SAY, OUR COLLECTIVE STREETS THAT CONNECT BETWEEN EMERSON AND PACE.

GLEN COVE IS THE HIGHEST USE AND THAT'S WHY I TRIGGERED THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL.

GLENDALE HAS A SCHOOL ON IT AS IT HAS A SCHOOL CROSSING GUARD.

AND SO THERE'S THERE'S ALSO HIGH USE THERE, BUT THE PERMIT WAS FOR GLEN COVE.

I'M SAYING THAT THERE ISN'T A TRAFFIC LIGHTS, THERE IS NO TRAFFIC LIGHT VEHICLE AND THERE IS A SCHOOL CROSSING GUARD, AND THAT'S WHERE THE SCHOOL CROSSING IS BECAUSE GLENDALE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IS ON GLENDALE.

ARE WE FORESEEING THAT THAT THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE AN ISSUE AS WE BUILT? I BELIEVE THAT WHOLE CORRIDOR, WE'RE LOOKING AT THE WHOLE NORTHEAST AREA AND WE'RE LOOKING AT CHANGING SOME OF THE CLASSIFICATIONS, ESPECIALLY ON EMERSON AND PACE.

I BELIEVE THOSE TWO COLLECTIVE STREET AND LAMPLIGHTER ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE TRIGGERED FOR FUTURE SIGNALS.

RIGHT NOW, JUST GLENCOE DOES.

ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION? I'VE, A MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR OF JOHNSON, SECONDED BY MAYOR MEDINA.

ALL IN FAVOR, HIGH PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

WE ARE NOW ON COUNCIL REPORTS, AND I'LL BEGIN WITH COUNCILMAN FELIX.

[COUNCIL REPORTS]

THAT REMIT OF THE GROUP.

I JUST WANT TO BRING ATTENTION TO A COMPANY, A LOCAL COMPANY THAT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED, YOU KNOW, COMMUNITY OVER.

I WANT TO SAY OVER A YEAR PLUS THAT'S A COMPANY THAT MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPT TO BUILD A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CITY OF.

[04:05:05]

I MEAN, THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH CURRENT ADMINISTRATION PRIOR ADMINISTRATION IS LEONSIS SINENSIS CORP..

THEY ARE A MAJOR ONE OF THE FIRST MAJOR CYBERSECURITY COMPANY SPECIALIZED IN DATA RECOVERY USING THE NEW TECHNOLOGY BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY, AND THEY ARE HERE IN PALM BAY.

MILLIONS AND MILLIONS IN ISD, I'M HIRING CREATING JOBS.

CURRENTLY, I'VE OVER 30 TO FULL TIME, GOOD PAYING JOB.

THEIR GOAL IS TO BRING IT UP TO ONE HUNDRED SOON.

A DEMAND IS THERE.

THEY'RE TAKING THEIR FULL STEAM, SO.

AND THEY STILL SEEKING A.

SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE ALL CITY MANAGEMENT TO REACH OUT AND SEE HOW WE CAN.

IS THERE TRULY WHAT THEY BELIEVE IS THEY THEY TRULY BELIEVE IN TAKING CARE OF? THE TECHNOLOGY THAT GETTING MORE AND MORE.

THAT OTHER MUNICIPALITY AND COMPANIES, EVEN CONSIDERING BRINGING IT RIGHT NOW, THE SERVICE COMPANIES AND GOVERNMENT ENTITIES, THEY EVEN CREATING WORKING ON A PERSONAL.

THEY'RE USING BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY TO PROTECT.

SO I WANT TO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE AS WE PUSHING PALM BAY IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS, THOSE THAT ALREADY ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIPS AND.

BENTON, AND I THINK YOUR POINT, I THINK.

MS. MOSCONI SPOKE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THOSE PRESENTATIONS, WHERE SHE WANTS TO SHARE HOW TO DO BUSINESS WITH THE CITY AS WELL.

SO I THINK I THINK THAT'S APPROPRIATE.

BUT CAN YOU REPEAT THE NAME OF THE BUSINESS? SILENCES CORP..

AS ONLY NCIS.

I JUST WANT THE SECOND THING I'D LIKE TO MENTION IS THAT WE DO HAVE AN ELECTION ON TUESDAY. SPECIAL ELECTIONS, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE.

IF YOU'RE LISTENING, MAKE SURE YOU GO VOTE THE THE YOU KNOW, WE THIS IS THE THE WISH OF THE PEOPLE.

THIS COUNCIL GRANTED THAT I THINK TO TODAY WE ONLY AT EIGHT PERCENT PARTICIPATION.

WE'D LOVE TO SEE IT, YOU KNOW, GO OVER AT LEAST DOUBLE DIGIT.

PLEASE ENCOURAGE YOU.

IF YOU'RE LISTENING, PLEASE GO VOTE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN FOSTER.

THANK YOU, MIRA. I HAVE A COUPLE OF ITEMS. BUT IT'S. BUT BY ENCOURAGING EVERYONE TO GO AND VOTE.

IDENTIFY THE CANDIDATES IF ALL OF THEM A FAIR SHOT.

OK. AND GO VOTE.

IT'S COSTING US OVER TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND.

AND. THE RIGHT TO VOTE IS SACRED AND AND A LOT OF PEOPLE DIE FOR THE RIGHT TO VOTE OUT OF MY ANCESTORS DIED FOR THE RIGHT TO VOTE AND AND I VOTED ALREADY SO AND I VOTED BY MAIL. YOU COULD VOTE IN PERSON.

YOU KNOW. MAIL BALLOTS WENT OUT BEFORE THE SAMPLE BALLOTS WENT OUT.

UNDERSTAND SAMPLE BALLOTS SHOULD HAVE WENT OUT FIRST BEFORE THE MAIL BALLOTS WENT OUT, AND THAT'S AN ISSUE THAT I LIKE THE CLERK TO FIND OUT WHY THAT HAPPENED.

THE CITY OF PALM BAY DO NOT RUN ELECTIONS.

SUPERVISOR ELECTION DOES, AND THEY SENT OUT THE MAIL BALLOTS.

WELL, THEY SENT OUT THE SAMPLE BALLOT.

AND THAT'S THAT'S A MISTAKE THAT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN.

AND IT'S NOT FAIR THAT A CANDIDATE AND THAT'S NOT FAIR TO THE PEOPLE OF PALM BAY.

SO I WOULD LIKE THE CLERK TO FIND OUT WHY.

WHAT CAUSED THAT DEBACLE WITH THE SUPERVISOR ELECTION? WE PAID THEM TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.

THEY SHOULD GET IT RIGHT.

SECOND THING, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE APPOINTMENTS TO THE LIBRARY ADVISORY BOARD, MS. NANCY WILLINGTON, I'D LIKE TO REAPPOINT HER TO THE.

[04:10:02]

IMPORTANT. VICKI NORTHROP, SHE'S WILLING TO SERVE THANK YOU FOR YOU, THANK YOU FOR VOLUNTEER. THIRD THING.

I WANT TO SAY IS THIS.

WE GOT. WE ADVISORY BOARD MEMBERS, AND I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW, MR. GARY STILL SERVING ON IT.

I KNOW I SERVED WITH HIM ON PARKS AND REC FOR THE GARY.

I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S STILL SERVING WITH THE PALM BAY ADVISORY BOARD, BUT WE GOT FOUR IN THIS ROOM. WHEN YOU GET APPOINTED TO ADVISORY BOARD.

GOOD JOB TO SERVE, YOU GOT APPOINTED TO SERVE AND SOMEBODY ON THIS COUNCIL VOTED FOR YOU TO SERVE, OK? AND YOU'RE NOT THERE TO BE CONFRONTATIONAL.

YOU'RE NOT THERE TO CALL SOMEONE OUT.

IN AGREEMENT, YES, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE AGREEMENT ON THESE BOARDS, BUT YOU'RE NOT THERE TO ACCUSE SOMEBODY ON ANYTHING.

YOU'RE THERE TO SERVE YOUR DADDY.

GET ALONG. RUSH YOUR OPINION, DISAGREE.

WELL. YOU CAN'T DO THAT.

DON'T SERVE. I'LL SERVE AS I SERVED ON A PLENTY OF THESE BOARDS, AND I DISAGREE WITH PEOPLE AND I VOTED AGAINST WHAT WAS ON THE TABLE.

I'M OK WITH THAT.

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT.

I'M TALKING ABOUT BEING CONFRONTATIONAL, DISRESPECTFUL FOR ANYONE THAT YOU'RE SERVING WITH ON THAT BOARD. OK.

OH, AND IF YOU CAN'T DO THAT, I WILL MAKE THE MOTION TO REMOVE YOU IN A HEARTBEAT.

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT.

WE HAD A GENTLEMAN THAT WAS VERY DISRESPECTFUL AND VERY CONFRONTATIONAL ON AN ADVISORY BOARD. AND HE BEFORE WE COULD PUSH A MOTION TO REMOVE HIM, HE RESIGNED.

NOW, I'M NOT MAKING NO THREAT, I'M JUST TELLING YOU THIS IS THE ACTION I WOULD TAKE IF IF. THE BEHAVIOR OF.

ADVISORY BOARD MEMBER NOT RESPECTFUL OF THEIR COLLEAGUES THAT THEY SERVING ON.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE, MA'AM. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN FOSTER, DEPUTY MAYOR, JOHNSON.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. I'D LIKE TO REAPPOINT LUKE MARINELLI TO THE BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION INVESTMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

JAMES REFERRED TO THE CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD.

CHARLENE HORTON TO THE LIBRARY ADVISORY BOARD.

AND ROBERT GROSSMAN TO THE UTILITY ADVISORY BOARD.

OTHER THAN THAT, COUNCILMAN FELIX.

I MET WITH SINENSIS THIS WEEK AND I WAS GOING TO BRING IT UP, SO IT'S FUNNY.

I HAD THE WEBSITE UP AND EVERYTHING.

IT'S TALKING TO THEM.

THEY WERE LOOKING TO PARTNER. THEY'RE LOOKING TO DO IT FOR FREE, FREE IN REGARDS TO LIKE KIND OF ALONG THE LINES OF WHAT MR. BATTEN WAS SAYING PROVIDE FREE CYBERSECURITY FOR THE CITY OF PALM BAY.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING I WOULD DEFINITELY LIKE FOR STAFF TO EXPLORE.

OTHER THAN THAT, WHICH IS I'VE BROUGHT IT UP BEFORE, BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T DROP THE BALL IN REGARDS TO LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT AND, YOU KNOW, AFFORDABLE HOUSING INCENTIVES, VOLUNTARY INCLUSIONARY HOUSING, YOU KNOW, NOT FORCING, NOT MANDATING ANYTHING REGARDING, YOU KNOW, HOUSING BUT JUST PROVIDING INCENTIVES, WHETHER IT'S DENSITY, BONUSES AND STUFF LIKE THAT, JUST MAKING SURE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE STILL PUSHING THAT ALONG THE WAY, AS WELL AS THE LOW IMPACT.

YOU KNOW, WE JUST HAD THE MARINE RESOURCE COUNCIL PUT OUT THEIR NEW GRADE AND YOUR REPORT CARD AND WE'RE STILL WHERE WE ARE.

SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE, YOU KNOW, AS WE'RE APPROVING THESE DEVELOPMENTS BECAUSE THEY MEET THE STANDARD AND THE CODES, WE STILL NEED TO CHANGE THESE CODES AND THINGS.

SO THAT WAY WE'RE MAKING SURE PALM BAY IS MORE SUSTAINABLE.

SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I PUT THAT OUT THERE IN THE OPEN.

YEAH, LET ME LET ME TAG ON TO YOU.

YES, SIR. I THINK THAT'S WHAT THAT WAS ALL ABOUT BECAUSE WE WE'VE ALREADY SHARED THAT WE WANT TO PROVIDE INCENTIVES.

WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? DO WE NEED TO START WORKING ON A WORKSHOP FOR THAT? BECAUSE WHAT TYPE OF INCENTIVES, RIGHT? WHAT ELSE CAN WE ENTICE FOLKS TO DO THE SLIDE? SO I THINK WE'RE AT A POINT WHERE THERE IS CONSENSUS ON THIS DICE TO TRY AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT AND HOW THAT LOOKS LIKE.

SO, YEAH, I'M I'M I'M TAGGING ON WITH THAT DEPUTY MAYOR BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN SAYING THAT.

SO MAYBE WE NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.

DO WE NEED TO SIT DOWN AND AND HAVE A WORKSHOP? MADAM SHERMAN, DO YOU KNOW HOW? HOW ELSE CAN WE MOVE FORWARD AND AND MAKE THAT BUILD UP THOSE INCENTIVES THAT PEOPLE WILL

[04:15:06]

WELL, THANK YOU, SIR. I CAN JUST GIVE YOU A VERY BRIEF UPDATE, WHICH IS WE HAVE EVERY INTENTION OF BRINGING ACTUALLY SOME ITEMS FORWARD TO YOU ALL FOR CONSIDERATION.

BUT WE HAVE NOT MOVED AS QUICKLY AS TO BE HONEST THAT I WOULD HAVE LIKED.

SO WE HAD A MEETING MAYBE TWO, THREE WEEKS, TWO WEEKS AGO, AND I'D ASKED STAFF TO KIND OF PULL TOGETHER SOME THINGS THEY WANTED TO START WORKING ON.

AND WE DID. WE WEREN'T ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THAT AT THAT MEETING.

WE'RE GOING TO SCHEDULE ANOTHER ANOTHER MEETING WHERE WE'VE TARGETED THE ORMOND BEACH MODEL ORDINANCES AS WELL AS WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO DIG INTO A LITTLE BIT FURTHER.

AND ESSENTIALLY, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO DO IS MAKE A SOLID PLAN WHERE WE CAN ACTUALLY GIVE YOU SOME TIMELINES AND EXPECTATIONS OF WHEN WE'LL BRING BACK SOME INITIAL WHAT I CALL THE LOW HANGING FRUIT, THE THINGS THAT ARE NOT OVERLY CONTROVERSIAL BUT EASY TO IMPLEMENT AND GETS YOU A LITTLE MORE TRACTION MORE QUICKLY ON SOME OF THAT LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT. SO STILL WORKING ON IT, I APOLOGIZE IS TAKING A LITTLE LONGER THAN EXPECTED, BUT WE'VE GOT THAT ON OUR ON OUR LIST, SO.

THANK YOU, MA'AM. I APPRECIATE THAT.

AND DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON, AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR CONTINUING TO BRING THAT UP.

AND DOES THAT CONCLUDE YOUR YOUR REPORT, SIR? SO THE FIRST THING I'D LIKE TO DO IS SAY I'D LIKE TO APPOINT CARMINE.

CARMINE VITALE TO THE INFRASTRUCTURE ADVISORY.

OVERSIGHT BOARD, THAT'S THE FIRST THING I LIKE TO SHARE, AND I WANTED TO SHARE IT WITH THAT. ITALIAN ACCENT, YOU KNOW, IT TAKES ME BACK TO MY ROOTS BACK IN NEW YORK CITY, RIGHT? AND THEN THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO SHARE WITH THIS COUNCIL BECAUSE WE HAVE TO SHARE EVERYTHING OUT IN THE OPEN IS I'VE.

YOU KNOW, I VISITED A LOT OF OUR LOCAL RESTAURANTS.

I VISIT A LOT OF OUR I TRY TO KEEP, YOU KNOW, PROMOTING OUR BUSINESSES WITHIN OUR CITY LIMITS. AND I KNOW MY COLLEAGUES DO THE SAME.

THERE'S A PLACE ON PALM BAY ROAD AND I KNOW YOU'VE HEARD ME SAY THE PLACE IS CALLED SKI BOATS. AND IF YOU ARE A RIB CONNOISSEUR, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU VISIT SKI BOATS BECAUSE THEY HAVE A GREAT, GREAT RACK OF RIBS.

MAN, I TELL YOU MY MOUTH WATERS WHEN I THINK OF IT.

BUT THE REASON I'M BRINGING THIS UP, GENTLEMEN, IS BECAUSE IN A CONVERSATION WITH THE OWNERS, THERE WERE THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT THEY'RE CELEBRATING SEVEN YEARS.

SEVEN YEARS OF DOING BUSINESS IN THE CITY OF PALM BAY, AND THE OWNERS WENT ON AND SAID THEY WANT TO DO SOMETHING VERY FESTIVE IN THAT AREA, SO I WANTED TO BECAUSE I KNOW YOU HAVE CONTACT WITH SKI BOWS.

DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON, IF IF YOU COULD SEE HOW WE COULD SUPPORT THAT TYPE OF SEVEN SEVEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY, PERHAPS, YOU KNOW, BE A CONDUIT TO THAT.

SEE HOW WE COULD, YOU KNOW, CELEBRATE WITH THEM FOR THAT BUSINESS BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S A HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR OUR MOM AND POP BUSINESSES TO DO BUSINESS FOR SEVEN YEARS.

AND I DON'T JUST I'M NOT SELECTING JUST ONE, BUT I THINK ALL THESE BUSINESSES, THEY SEE THAT THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO TRULY SEE THAT WE SUPPORT OUR OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES, RIGHT, OUR SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS.

SO I WANTED TO JUST RUN THAT BY YOU, SIR, TO SEE IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD WANT TO EXPLORE. I WAS GOING THERE TOMORROW ANYWAY.

TOMORROW'S FIST FRIDAY, SO I WAS GOING TO GO THERE ANYWAYS.

BUT YEAH, I'LL DEFINITELY DO THAT AND I'LL FOLLOW.

I'LL FOLLOW UP WITH EVERYBODY.

BUT YEAH, WELL, WE ALL SHOULD GO AND SUPPORT HIM WITH OUR STOMACHS.

SO THAT'S THAT WORKS TOO.

BUT BUT I GET WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, MAYOR.

SO YEAH, THAT'S SOMETHING I CAN DEFINITELY DO.

YES, SIR. IT'S SEVEN YEARS.

IT'S TO ME. IT'S A, YOU KNOW, THE NUMBER SEVEN IS REALLY IMPORTANT AND I'D LIKE TO SEE HOW WE CAN BLESS THAT BUSINESS.

AND THAT'S ANY BUSINESS OUT THERE, ANY MOM AND POP BUSINESS.

WE WE WANT TO PROMOTE YOU.

WE WANT YOU TO SUCCEED WITHIN OUR CITY BORDERS SO THAT THAT WILL CONCLUDE, MIGHT WELL, THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE I.

I WANTED TO SHARE THE PASSION I'M HAVING TOWARDS THIS MAYOR'S BALL AND AND YOU'RE RIGHT.

I KNOW THAT EVERYWHERE I GO, I REPEAT MYSELF REGARDING THE MAYOR'S BALL, BUT.

THE PASSION BEHIND THIS IS THE SACRIFICE THAT WAS LAID.

I CONSIDER THAT BLOOD THAT WAS SHED ON THAT DAY.

THE VERY FOUNDATION OF THIS CITY, OF THIS GREAT CITY.

THE MEN THAT LOST THEIR LIVES ON THAT ON THAT FATEFUL DAY, APRIL 23RD, 1987, AND I

[04:20:02]

AND I COULDN'T GET A HOLD OF MY DAD.

AND THEN LATER REPORTS THAT LAW AND ORDER, YOU KNOW, THERE WERE FATALITIES, AND OF COURSE, THEY DIDN'T RELEASE THE NAMES, BUT THESE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS OFFICER.

JOHNSON AND GROGAN, THEY LOST THEIR LIVES, SO THIS THIS FUND RAISER, THIS MAYOR'S BALL IS A FUNDRAISER TO BUILD A TRIBUTE TO HONOR THAT SACRIFICE RIGHT HERE SACRIFICED PART.

SO I REALLY WANT EVERY, EVERY, EVERY CONSTITUENT, EVERY EVERYONE THAT HEARS THIS, EVERYONE HERE TO SUPPORT THIS BECAUSE THIS IS ABOUT MAKING AND BUILDING SOMETHING GREAT THAT THE WHOLE ENTIRE CITY CAN BE PROUD OF.

BUT NOT ONLY THE CITY, THE COUNTY AS WELL.

AND THAT'S I WANT TO INCLUDE YOU.

YES. YES, SIR. I WANT TO INCLUDE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US GIVE EVERYONE AN OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN LOCK ARMS WITH US AND ASSIST US WITH BUILDING THAT TRIBUTE.

COUNCILMAN FOSTER. I JUST WANT TO ADD SOMETHING.

MAYOR, YOU KNOW, DID DID A STORY.

I DON'T KNOW. IT WAS A KNEE.

IT WAS A&E. YES, SIR, ABOUT THIS, ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN PALM BAY AND.

I KNEW ABOUT SACRIFICE PARK, BUT I DIDN'T.

IT IS STORY UNTIL I SAW IT ON YOUTUBE, I WATCHED IT ON YOUTUBE, AND THAT WAS A HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED IN THIS CITY.

WE LOST OFFICERS WHEN THEY ARRIVED ON THE SCENE.

THEY GOT SHOT. REALLY? AND IT WAS BRAVE, AND IT TOOK THE POLICE RESOLVED, IT ENDED THAT SEIZURE.

AND EVERY TIME I GO BY AFTER WATCHING THAT VIDEO THAT EVERY TIME I GO BY WINN-DIXIE.

THAT THOUGHT POPPED IN MY HEAD TO SAVE A LOT NOW.

WELL, YES, SIR.

BUT YEAH, IT WOULD SAVE A LOT.

SO WATCH IT, WATCH IT ON YOUTUBE, AND YOU COULD APPRECIATE WHAT THE MAYOR IS SAYING EVEN MORE. GO WATCH THAT VIDEO ON YOUTUBE AND.

AND PRAY THAT THAT NEVER HAPPENS IN OUR CITY AGAIN.

AND TO YOUR POINT, I'LL TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY.

WE'VE EQUIPPED OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS SO MUCH BETTER TODAY THAN WHAT THOSE OFFICERS HAD TO ENDURE BACK IN LATE 80S.

SO THAT CONCLUDES MY MY REPORTS.

WE'RE ON ADMINISTRATIVE AND LEGAL REPORTS.

MADAM SHERMAN. THANK YOU, MAYOR.

I JUST HAVE TWO QUICK ITEMS.

[ADMINISTRATIVE AND LEGAL REPORTS]

IT WILL BE LIVE THROUGH APRIL THE 4TH.

AND IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CHECK IT OUT AND YOU, YOU OR YOU KNOW OF AN ORGANIZATION THAT MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN SUBMITTING SOME INFORMATION ON THAT, WE WOULD WELCOME IT.

THE WEBSITE ADDRESS IS WW W PALM BAY FLORIDA NORTHGATE ARPA SURVEY, WHICH IS RPA SURVEY.

SO JUST WANT TO ENCOURAGE FOLKS TO PASS WORD ON THAT.

AND THE OTHER THING I JUST WANTED TO ADVISE FOR ANY WHO MAY BE WATCHING THIS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN THE CRICKET DRIVE APARTMENT APPLICATION STAFF ADVISED ME THAT AS OF I THINK LAST FRIDAY, THE APPLICANT WITHDREW THEIR APPLICATION TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE APARTMENT COMPLEX. WE DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE AN ACTIVE APPLICATION ON CRICKET DRIVE.

THAT CONCLUDES YOUR REPORT, MA'AM, THANK YOU, MA'AM.

MADAM SMITH.

NOTHING FURTHER. THANK YOU, MA'AM.

SO WE'RE AT DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON.

LOVELY COMMENTS. SUSAN CONNOLLY, THANK YOU, SIR.

[PUBLIC COMMENTS/RESPONSES]

I FAIL TO SEE THE SECOND ONE, WHICH IS ELFIE GREGORY.

AND MY POINT IS THAT THE I GO TO THESE CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS AND HE HAS BEEN AT MANY CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS, AS HAVE SOME OF THE OTHER CANDIDATES.

AND WHAT AN OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR CITIZENS TO MEET THESE CANDIDATES.

AND THAT'S SO IMPORTANT BECAUSE OUR ELECTIONS ARE NONPARTISAN THAT WE DON'T VOTE, VOTE

[04:25:02]

AND IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE KNOW THESE PEOPLE'S WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO THEM AND WHAT THEY BRING FORTH IN THE CITY.

THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO SAY IS THE MAYOR INITIATED A SPOTLIGHT ON BUSINESS AND YOU NAME THE FIRST ONE, AND IT WAS MYERS LANDSCAPING AND SUPPLY.

AND I REMEMBER THAT MEETING BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS THEY SAID IN THEIR INTRODUCTION IS THAT THEY HAVE SUSTAINABLE TOOLS.

AND, YOU KNOW, I'M VERY MUCH INTO ANYTHING SUSTAINABLE, AND I THINK THEY MEANT POWER TOOLS THAT ARE.

BUT YOU DON'T PLUG THEM IN ANYWAYS.

MYERS IS HAVING A OPEN HOUSE AT THEIR LOCATION THIS SATURDAY FROM EIGHT TO FIVE.

I'M GOING TO BE THERE LOOKING AT POWER TOOLS AND I ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY TO SUPPORT THE MAYOR AND HIS CHOICE.

THIS WILL BE THE FIRST ONE, AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A VERY INTERESTING COMPANY.

THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO SAY IS THANK YOU, MAYOR, FOR MENTIONING PERMEABLE CONCRETE.

WHEN WE WERE AT THE MRI CONFERENCE BACK IN NOVEMBER, SUZANNE SHERMAN WAS THERE.

YOU WILL REMEMBER THERE WAS A COMPANY CALLED FERGUSONS.

THEY HAVE A WHOLE LINE OF PERMEABLE PAVERS.

CONCRETE. IT'S MODULAR.

IT CAN GO IN SMALL SPACES.

IT CAN GO ON ROADS.

THEY HAVE EVERYTHING THERE OUT OF ORLANDO.

I TOLD YOU THAT I'M ON A CONDO BOARD.

WE'VE ALREADY CHECKED THEM OUT FOR OUR SMALL CONDO.

IT'S REASONABLY PRICED AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THE NEW DEVELOPERS CAN GIVE BACK.

WE CAN REQUEST THEM TO START WITH THIS NEW CONSTRUCTION PERMEABLE CONCRETE.

THANK YOU.

I HAVE 25 SECONDS.

THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO SAY IS OUR CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION IS MEETING THE 15TH AND THE 29TH ON MARCH.

IT'S A LITTLE OUT OF ORDER, BUT THIS IS ANOTHER WAY TO KEEP INVOLVED AND TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUES FOR OUR CANDIDATES.

LAST TIME, THEY DEALT WITH THE THREE PERCENT CAP AND THAT GOT QUITE A BIT OF DISCUSSION.

SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MA'AM. OK.

GO GET. WELL, IN 586 OCEAN SPRAY STREET, SOUTHWEST.

TWO ITEMS. THE INDIVIDUAL CAME UP WAS ADDRESSING GARAGE SALES, I WAS IN PAYING ATTENTION AT THAT TIME WHEN THIS CAME TO BE THE REASON WHY THEY LOOKED AT IT IN THE ORDINANCE, WHY THEY DID A DEEPER RESEARCH.

WHAT WAS HAPPENING WAS THE PEOPLE WERE HAVING GARAGE SALES REPEATEDLY LIKE THEY WERE HOLDING A BUSINESS, A SALES BUSINESS IN THEIR YARD EVERY WEEK AND IT'D BE FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

SO THREE DAYS OF THE WEEKEND WHEN PEOPLE WANT TO START SLEEPING IN.

EVERYBODY WAS PULLING UP AT THESE GARAGE SALES, BECAUSE IF YOU'RE NOT THE FIRST ONES THERE, YOU DON'T GET THE GOOD DEAL AND THERE THEY'RE PARKING ON THEIR GRASS, THEIR NEIGHBORS, LAWNS AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

IT'S ALWAYS THERE. THEY WERE ACTUALLY CONDUCTING BUSINESSES FROM THEIR HOUSE.

THAT'S WHY THE ORDINANCE CAME IN.

WE STARTED, THEY STARTED SLOWING IT DOWN A LITTLE BIT TO MAKE YOUR LEGITIMATE GARAGE SALE FOR THE INDIVIDUAL, BE THERE INSTEAD OF PEOPLE JUST USING GARAGE SALE AS THEIR PRIVATE BUSINESS. THAT'S THE FIRST ITEM.

ITEM NUMBER TWO WAS GAINER DRIVE.

ONE MORE TIME, YOU'RE GOING TO KNOW GAINER DRIVE FAILURE IN NIGHTMARES, RIGHT? IT WASN'T JUST WATER AND SEWER COMING DOWN THAT ROAD THAT WAS PART OF THE PROBLEM WITH NOT HAVING THE RIGHT OF WAY.

IT ALSO IMPACTS ON THERE IS NO SWELLS ALONGSIDE THAT ROAD.

SO WHEN IT RAINS, THERE'S NO WAY TO SHED THE WATER AWAY FROM THEIR NEW ROADS BECAUSE THERE'S THERE'S NO SWELL, SO THERE'S ACTUALLY NOTHING ON THAT SIDE OF THE ROAD.

AND SO. WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT IS JUST FROM THIS TIME WHEN I WAS TALKING WITH IT, BUT I'VE BEEN ADDRESSING THAT PARTICULAR PROBLEM FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS OF HOW IT'S BEEN A PROBLEM IN THAT AREA.

SO IT SWELLS SEWER AND WATER ON THAT, RIGHT? THAT BEING SAID, I HAVE A GOOD EVENING ONE AND ALL, AND I DO LOVE COMING TO THESE MEETINGS. THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER SPEAKER CARDS, ANY ANYONE WISH TO COME SPEAK? STEP FORWARD, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.

AND ADDRESS, PLEASE.

GOOD NIGHT TO COUNCIL MR. MAYOR AND STAFF THIS ALFIE.

ALFIE, 60, AND 80 MAIN STREET AND ARTIST PALM BAY.

I GOT A FEW ISSUES, BUT I GUESS BILL BEAT ME TO IT THE SAME GARAGE GARAGE SALE THING.

[04:30:02]

IF YOU'RE MOVING OUT OF YOUR RESIDENCE, YOU COULD DO A GARAGE SALE AND GET RID OF THE STUFF. AND THAT'S IT.

THE SECOND THING IS THE SAME GAYNOR BAILEY.

YOU'LL BE MR. THIS THE GAINOR PROJECT IF THE INVESTOR IN MY EYES, IF THE INVESTOR IS WILLING TO DO THIS PROJECT, PUT ALL THESE THINGS ON THE TABLE, LET HIM AGREE TO PUT THE WATER IN. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT IT COSTS.

HE'S GOING TO PAY THE DRAINAGE, THE SWALE, WHATEVER IT TAKES FOR THE PROJECT, IF HE'S WILLING TO DO THE PROJECT, I WOULD AUTHORIZE IT, LET HIM PUT EVERYTHING IN PLACE THAT REQUIRE THESE EXPENSES.

THE OTHER THING IS THE THE BOARDS.

I KNOW MR.. UH, MR. RAINEY WAS WAS SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT THE BOARDS.

I AM A VOLUNTEER FOR THE CITY.

MAYBE 12 YEARS, 13 YEARS.

I'VE BEEN IN QUITE A FEW BOARDS AND I'M VERY MUCH DISCOURAGED OF EVEN GOING ON THE BOARD BASED ON THE WAY I'VE BEEN TREATED ON THE COURT ENFORCEMENT BOARD.

WE GOT ONE MEMBER AS MR. RANDY WAS SAYING BOARD MEMBER, TREAT OTHER COLLEAGUES IN A NEGATIVE IMPACT WAY.

AND YOU'VE GOT TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT THAT.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE REALLY LOOKED INTO.

I WAS TREATED BY I THINK I GOT, YOU KNOW, SEVEN VIOLATIONS ONE DAY BEING ON THE CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD. BUT THAT'S WHAT IT IS.

I GETTING BY IT. THE NEXT THING I WANT TO SAY IS JUST TO REMIND THE CITIZENS THAT I'M ONE OF THE CANDIDATE, ALFIE ALFIE, THE GUY RUNNING FOR THIS COUNCIL SEAT NUMBER FIVE ON MARCH EIGHT, TUESDAY, MARCH EIGHT, AND PLEASE COME OUT AND VOTE AND SUPPORT YOUR CHOICE.

MAKE A GOOD CHOICE AND GOOD NIGHT.

THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE WISH TO COME AND SPEAK? BEFORE WE ADJOURN.

THE NUN, THIS MEETING IS ADJOURNED.
