[CALL TO ORDER:]
EXCITED TO CALL THIS SUSTAINABILITY ADVISORY BOARD MEETING INTO SESSION, AS IT WERE.COULD WE GO AHEAD AND DO A ROLL CALL? KEVIN SMITH. PHILIP SNYDER HERE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. NOW WE HAVE TWO SETS OF MEETING MINUTES TO GO AHEAD AND ADOPT.
[ADOPTION OF MINUTES:]
WILL DO ONE AT A TIME.SO FIRST, IF WE CAN GO AHEAD AND REVIEW AND THEN IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO SET A MOTION TO APPROVE REGULAR MEETING MINUTES FROM JULY 27.
SO MOVED. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECONDED. ALL IN FAVOR? I. ALL RIGHT.
MOTION CARRIES WITH NO OPPOSITION.
SECOND REGULAR MEETING FOR AUGUST 24TH.
DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THOSE MINUTES? SO MOVED. ALL IN FAVOR.
THINGS WE'LL DO ALL DAY. WE'LL TAKE A MOMENT AND SAY, IS THERE ANYBODY HERE WHO'D LIKE TO PUT IN A FORM FOR PUBLIC COMMENT? AND HANGING OUT.
[NEW BUSINESS:]
WE'LL GO AHEAD AND GET INTO OUR BUSINESS THEN.SO WE NEED TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF SELECTING A NEW BOARD CHAIR.
I HAVEN'T OVERSEEN THIS PROCESS BEFORE, AND SO MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT WE'D GO AHEAD AND HAVE A MOTION TO APPOINT SOMEONE AS CHAIR AND THEN VOTE AS USUAL WHEN WE HAVE DISCUSSION.
HELLO, EVERYONE. SUZANNE SHERMAN, CITY MANAGER.
YOU KNOW, ANYONE INTERESTED WANTS TO MAKE A MOTION FOR THEMSELVES, FOR OTHERS.
BUT I WOULD LIKE TO NOMINATE BILL SNYDER TO BE THE CHAIR.
AND BEING CHAIR. OKAY, SO DO WE HAVE TO VOTE? WE MOVE TO VOTE. WE NEED A MOTION.
AND THEN A SECOND. I MOVE THAT WE VOTE ON HAVING BILL SNIDER'S OUR NEW CHAIR.
BUILDERS DEVELOPERS TO UTILIZE LOW IMPACT BUILDING METHODS.
AND I THINK THE CITY HAVE COME UP WITH A PRETTY CREATIVE WAY OF DOING THAT, AT LEAST IN MY MIND.
AND IF YOU LOOK IN YOUR AGENDA ONE.
FIVE PAGES IN. LOOKS LIKE THIS.
BUT THEY PRESENTED TO US IN CANNES, AUGUST.
AND. I BELIEVE MISS SHERMAN IS HERE TO GARNER ANY FEEDBACK WE MAY HAVE ON THAT MATRIX.
AND I THINK SHE COULD ALSO FIELD ANY QUESTIONS.
I KNOW IT'S BEEN A MINUTE SINCE WE'VE SEEN THIS, AND SO FEEL FREE.
OR ON THAT SIDE AND. YOU, MR. SMITH. SO.
TAKE A MOMENT AND THEN WHENEVER YOU'RE READY, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
READ IT. SO THE TERMINOLOGY BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES IS USED FREQUENTLY.
[00:05:02]
OH. WHO'S DEFINED THAT? WHAT CRITERIA IS BEING USED? I'M ALSO WONDERING ABOUT THE.DEVELOPMENT IS THIS INCLUDE REDEVELOPMENT OR PEOPLE WHO ARE DOING ENOUGH WORK THAT THEY HAVE TO PULL A PERMIT? WOULD THEY QUALIFY FOR THESE INCENTIVES AND.
BUT I CAN'T. OVERALL, I REALLY.
MR.. ARE WE OKAY IF WE HAVE A DIALOG? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
AND YOU WANT ME TO REPEAT ANY OF THOSE QUESTIONS? SO I'M DOUBLE CHECKING.
USUALLY WHEN WE REFER TO BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES, I WAS TRYING TO LOOK IN THE MANUAL REAL QUICK.
SO TYPICALLY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THINGS LIKE MAYBE THE SAINT JOHN'S REGIONAL WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT OR FLORIDA DEP AS ORGANIZATIONS, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE TALK ABOUT STORM WATER PRACTICES.
SO USUALLY THAT'S WHAT WE REFER TO.
SO I'LL I'LL LOOK THROUGH THIS AND SEE IF THERE'S ANY PARTICULAR DEFINITION.
IF NOT, WE WILL MAKE SURE WE DEFINE IT.
IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT OTHER PLACES IN FLORIDA EQUIVALENTS.
AND JUST ANSWER YOUR OTHER QUESTION.
THESE COULD APPLY TO REDEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, TOO.
YEAH. ANYBODY THAT'S APPLYING FOR A BUILDING PERMIT, THERE'S A POTENTIAL.
YOU KNOW, IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO, RIGHT? IF IT'S JUST A SMALL, LITTLE MINOR RETROFIT, MAYBE THIS DOESN'T APPLY IN WHOLE OR IN PART.
BUT IF IT'S A SIGNIFICANT REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT, ABSOLUTELY COULD HAVE APPLICABILITY FOR FOLKS.
MR. LEWIS, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I DON'T THINK I HAVE ANY PICKING ANY QUESTIONS NECESSARILY.
I THINK IT'S REALLY GREAT TO DO LOW IMPACT AND BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES.
WENT TO THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA WITH THE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE LIFE SCIENCES, AND WE HONORED HER AND LOOK AT A LOT OF BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES, NOT SPECIFICALLY IN THE CITY, BUT, SAY, A FARM OR RANCH OR SOMEONE THAT'S DOING TURF GRASS MANAGEMENT.
THAT WAY YOU'RE UTILIZING THE WATER, UTILIZING THE NUTRIENTS TO THAT HARVEST.
SO I THINK IT'S GREAT FOR THIS TO BE IN DEVELOPMENT AS WE GO INTO HAVING CLEANER COMMUNITIES.
FOCUSING ON THE INDIAN RIVER LAGOON AND WHATNOT.
OF NUTRIENTS AND SAY IT SEPTIC OR SEWER SYSTEMS AND THAT KIND OF STUFF.
SO I THINK IT'S GREAT THAT WE'RE LOOKING INTO THIS.
I HAVE A FLAT ROOF ON MY TOWNHOUSE.
THAT'S. WE'RE DIFFICULT BECAUSE USUALLY FLORIDA SHOULD HAVE PLANTED ROOTS AND WHATNOT, BUT.
BUT SO, NO, IT'S GREAT THAT WE'RE DOING THIS.
AND I'M INTERESTED TO SEE WHERE THIS GOES AND HOW WE CAN HELP BETTER THE CITY.
OKAY. UM, I'LL GO AHEAD AND I'LL GO LAST.
AND THAT WAS MY, MY FIRST NIGHT ON BOARD.
AND SO IT WAS KIND OF STILL STILL A LITTLE WIDE EYED.
BUT ONE OF THE GENTLEMEN THAT SPOKE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE LANGUAGE AND HOW MUCH TEETH, SOME OF SHELLS AND AND, YOU KNOW, THE WORDING, THE VERBIAGE.
AND I'M JUST CURIOUS, NOTHING'S CHANGED, RIGHT? I MEAN, IT'S ALL IT'S ALL THE SAME, RIGHT? IT'S JUST A MATTER OF.
YOU KNOW, WORKING THROUGH SOME OF THIS.
AND AND OBVIOUSLY, I REMEMBER A LOT OF THE BNP SEEMED VERY.
AND I THINK THAT'S THAT'S REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT.
YEAH. NO, MY MY BIG THING WAS JUST HE MADE A LOT OF SENSE AND I FORGET THE GENTLEMAN'S NAME.
[00:10:01]
BUT I THINK A LOT OF IT IS GOING TO BE A MATTER OF ONCE IMPLEMENTED, JUST KIND OF BEING FLEXIBLE AND REALLY PAYING ATTENTION TO HOW EFFECTIVE A LOT OF IT IS AND HOPEFULLY FINDING THE MONEY TO DO ALL OF IT.THAT'S ALL I HAVE. AND ALSO THANK YOU FOR, I THINK, ADMITTING TO BEING THE FIRST PERSON HOOKED ON.
FIRST. I HAVE REDEVELOPMENT AND WAS ACTUALLY MY ONLY QUESTION.
YOU KNOW, I SAY THAT. BUT ARE WE ASSUMING PLANNING TO REVISE THIS ANNUALLY OR REVIEW THIS ASSUMING STAFF IS PROBABLY BUILT IN? YEAH. SO ONCE IT'S ADOPTED, KEEPING IN MIND THAT IT'S A VOLUNTARY APPROACH.
AND IF NO, IF IT'S NOT INCENTIVIZING PEOPLE TO DEVELOP FROM A LOW IMPACT STAND STANDPOINT, THEN WE HAVEN'T QUITE GOTTEN TO WHERE WE NEED TO BE. SO AND WE MAY GET FEEDBACK BEFORE THEN.
WE'LL HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO TALK WITH THEM.
OUR ENGINEER, NATALIE SHAVER, WHO DID I THINK THE ORIGINAL PRESENTATION, SHE'LL TALK TO THEM.
I'M WILLING TO DO IT BECAUSE I GET SOME OF THESE TRADE OFF ITEMS THAT ARE IN THE MATRIX.
BUT TRULY, WE WANT THIS TO BE SOMETHING THAT'S ADOPTED AND USED.
SO IF WE'RE NOT GETTING TRACTION, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO COME BACK TO IT.
THAT WAS MY ASSUMPTION, BUT IT'S JUST GOOD TO KNOW THAT IT WILL BE ITERATIVE.
AND I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO GET RIGHT THE FIRST TIME.
I'D BE INTERESTED IN SEEING IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT'S PARTICULARLY POPULAR THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ADOPT AND IF THERE'S ANY THOUGHT TO DOWN THE LINE MAKING THESE THINGS MANDATORY, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD STILL INCENTIVIZE THEM BUT JUST REQUIRE IT INSTEAD OF HAVING IT BE VOLUNTARY.
ANYTHINGS PRODUCING LOW HANGING FRUIT.
THEY REALLY SHOULD LEAVE THAT TREE ALONE.
ONE MORE COMMENT ON THAT, TOO, IS I DON'T I DON'T THINK WE HAVE MECHANISMS IN PLACE TO.
TO COLLECT DATA TO COMPARE THE VALUE AND WHAT THEY'RE PROVIDING.
IT'D BE NICE IN A PERFECT WORLD, BUT WAYS OF NOT ONLY HIGHLIGHTING THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING THE EXTRA MILE BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, TO GO THE EXTRA MILE WITH THIS, IT MEANS GOING INTO YOUR WALLET.
AND THAT'S AND THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE BY AND ON.
AND IF THERE'S IF THERE IS A WAY TO HIGHLIGHT.
I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE 100% IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO DO, EVEN IF IT'S JUST SMALL PARTS OF IT.
I KNOW THAT'S A LOT. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT STUDIES THAT ARE EVEN EVEN MORE EXPENSIVE.
SO YEAH, BE NICE TO HIGHLIGHT THAT THOUGH.
ANY LAST, LAST CALL FOR QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.
WE MOVE ON TO OUR NEXT ITEM OF BUSINESS AND WE ARE FLYING THROUGH THE.
WELL, MY MY CONCERN IS THAT IF ONLY ONLY DEVELOPERS WITH MONEY BUILDING FOR PEOPLE WITH MONEY ADOPT THIS, THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THIS, YOU KNOW.
NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ARE UNDESIRABLE AND YOU KNOW, NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ARE DESIRABLE AND THAT.
THAT TENDS TO LEAD TO SOME SOCIAL.
THAT ALSO BEGS THE QUESTION IS, IS THERE GRANT MONEY OUT THERE TO PARTNER WITH, YOU KNOW, TO.
BECAUSE YOU'RE GETTING INTO A.
WHAT'S THE WORD? I'M LOOKING FOR ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE REALMS THERE.
AND THAT'S AND IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.
I MEAN, IT IS A REALITY, YOU KNOW, AND IT'S JUST A IT'S A REALITY OF.
THERE ARE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF DEVELOPMENT IN DIFFERENT POCKET DEPTHS OF POCKETS OF THOSE DEVELOPERS.
AND SO I CERTAINLY BELIEVE THAT THERE IS AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT FALLS, I DON'T KNOW.
[00:15:02]
IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY FALL ON THIS BOARD.I'M STILL KIND OF LEARNING THOSE WATERS.
BUT I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT TO PROVIDE EQUALITY WHEN IT COMES TO ACCESS TO THOSE THINGS.
AND IF SOME OF, IF WE SEE LONG TERM THAT SOME OF THESE ARE ADOPTED AND THERE'S BETTER RESULTS AFTER STORMS LIKE THIS OR THE IMPACT IS MITIGATED SOMEWHAT, THAT WOULD BE A BIG INCENTIVE IF WE COULD HIGHLIGHT THAT AND LET YOU KNOW.
AND THE WHOLE IDEA OF THIS IS.
I THINK WITH A LOT OF THESE CAN BE USED BY CITY AS WE IN YOU TO ENHANCE OUR INFRASTRUCTURE AND THOSE KIND OF THINGS THROUGHOUT THE CITY. I THINK THESE ARE GOOD OPPORTUNITIES FOR US TO LOOK AT.
I THINK ONE OF THE BIGGEST ONES WE LOOKED AT NORTH OF OUR CITY.
DAYTONA AND SAY AUGUSTINE, HOW HOUSES ARE FALLING ONTO THE BEACHES OF THERE SO CLOSE TO THE COAST.
LUCKILY, THEY DOESN'T HAVE THAT NECESSARILY.
BUT THE WATER, IF THERE IS A LARGE STORM COMING, THERE'S BIGGER AND BIGGER STORMS THAT ARE COMING.
SO MAKING SURE THAT ADDITIONAL BUILDING HEIGHT, THERE'S HOUSES ALL OVER.
WATCHING TICK TOCK BUT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT THEIR HOUSE GOT FLOODED BECAUSE IT WAS SUCH AN OLD, OLDER INFRASTRUCTURE AND NOW THEY'RE BUILDING A HIGHER SETBACK, HEIGHT OR HEIGHT, TO MAKE SURE THAT THEIR HOME IS IS GOOD FOR.
WINTER STORMS. SO AND EVEN SOME OF THESE THE SETBACKS, THE BAFFLE BOXES, THINGS LIKE THAT, THOSE ARE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE CITY TO BE ABLE TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A CLEANER ENVIRONMENT AND THAT WILL ALSO HELP OUR LAGOON.
AND I DO BELIEVE THERE ARE GRANTS OUT THERE, ESPECIALLY LOOKING AT THE STATE OF FLORIDA.
THESE REALLY ARE THINGS ON THEIR MIND AS WELL.
AND SO IF YOU HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS OR IF YOU'RE CONCERNED, WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ON.
BUT THESE ARE TOPICS THAT WE CAN HAVE AGAIN.
AND I STIP AND I'M SURE IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN ANYWAYS IN ABOUT A YEAR.
WE'D LOVE TO HEAR AN UPDATE ON HOW THINGS ARE GOING AND WE'LL PROBABLY REQUEST FROM THE CITY JUST KIND OF AN ANALYSIS OF THAT YOU'LL BE MAKING ALREADY IF YOU COULD SHARE THAT WITH US AND THEN WE COULD PROVIDE ANY SUGGESTIONS.
THE CONTEXT FOR THIS NEW BUSINESS I DO THINK SHOULD BE PROVIDED BEFORE.
WE SEE ANY ISSUE WITH ME DISCUSSING THE UPDATE TO THE SUSTAINABILITY TASK FORCE PRIOR TO.
BUSINESS ITEM. OKAY WITH THEM.
I JUST WANT TO ENSURE THERE'S NO ANARCHY THAT WILL BREAK OUT IF I VIOLATE A RULE.
I WANT TO PROVIDE A LOT MORE CONTEXT THAN NORMALLY WOULD JUST.
ABILITY. ONE OF THOSE KIND OF UMBRELLA PIECES WAS EDUCATION AND.
VERY EXCITED THAT THIS UPCOMING.
HAVE. FAIR WARNING OR ADVISORY EVERY TIME I SAY THAT WORD NOW.
SO WE'RE STILL LOOKING AT MY NOTES HERE.
SOMEONE ALREADY SAID IT FEELS LIKE IT'S BEEN SIX MONTHS.
I DON'T WANT TO GET ANY OF THESE DATES WRONG.
APOLOGIZE. I SHOULD HAVE HAD THIS READY.
AND IF SOMEBODY HAS THE DATE THAT I SAID LAST TIME, FEEL FREE TO THROW IT OUT AND HASN'T CHANGED.
HIS RISE. ALL RIGHT, MEETING NOTES.
[00:20:06]
FRIENDS GOING THROUGH LIKE SO.SO WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING A FAIR ON THE 15TH.
CURRENTLY, WE'RE LOOKING AT CITY HALL AS THE LOCATION FOR THAT.
THE GREENS ARE HERE, BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT BACKUP PARKS AS WELL.
SO MORE INFORMATION WHEN I MEET WITH STAFF NEXT.
WE'RE LOOKING AT SOMETHING LATER FIVE ISH AS IT'S STARTING TO GET DARK, A LITTLE BIT LIKE PALM BAY AT NIGHT AND IT'LL KIND OF HAVE A FUN FAIR THAT ENDS WITH A MOVIE NIGHT.
KIDS LOOKING AT HAVING PERFORMANCE.
SOME FUNDRAISING THINGS THROUGH LIKE FASHION SHOWS AND JUST KIND OF ALL THE FUN IDEAS.
OF COURSE, I'M WILLING TO HEAR YOUR IDEAS TODAY, BUT JUST KIND OF KNOW WE'RE GENERATING THOSE.
SO I'M WORKING WITH STAFF ON THAT.
BUT A BIG CORE ELEMENT IS FUNDING IS ENSURING THAT WE'RE ABLE TO.
I DON'T THINK WE'LL NEED A WHOLE LOT AND I'M HOPING TO.
BUT WE MAY NEED SOME FUNDS FROM THE BOMBAY MUNICIPAL FOUNDATION.
AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT THAT IS, THAT IS TO GO OVER HERE A LITTLE.
AND SO I'VE BEEN ASKED BY STAFF IF I'D BE WILLING TO PRESENT TO.
IT'S A FULL FOUNDATION REGARDING WHAT OUR FARE IS, WHAT WE'RE HOPING TO DO, AND SOME OF THE.
OK. OH. I'M OBVIOUSLY READY TO FIELD QUESTIONS.
DISCUSSION BEFORE WE OPEN FOR A SECOND.
I GUESS MY ONLY AND WE PROBABLY COVERED IT BEFORE BUT JUST THE.
STRUCTURE OF THE FAIR, WHAT YOU KNOW, WHAT WAS INVOLVED.
AND I KNOW THAT WOULD BE FURTHER PLANNING, OBVIOUSLY.
YEAH, YEAH, THAT WOULD BE THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
SO THE DETAILS ARE A LITTLE LIGHT ONLY BECAUSE STAFF'S MAKING A LOT OF THOSE.
I'M VERY BLESSED TO BE PART OF THE TASK FORCE, BUT THEY'RE MAKING.
STABILITY, BUT THE CURRENT AIM.
ALL OF OUR PLANES WORK OUT IS THAT WE WOULD HAVE SOME VENDORS THERE THAT WOULD BE FOOD VENDORS.
MY BRAIN IS. MY BRAIN IS READY FOR TURKEY DAY.
SO. SO WE'D HAVE VENDORS THERE, FOOD VENDORS AND JUST LIKE A.
THAT AND TO ROTATE EVENTS LIKE THIS.
THINGS LIKE. OTHER STATEMENTS SO THAT ARE TAILORED TOWARDS THAT.
BUT WE ARE REALLY BIG AND I THINK ONE OF MY FOCUSES.
GREAT POINT IN JUST ADDING OURSELVES IN THE FACT.
ALREADY ADHERE TO FRIENDLY PRINCIPLES INSIDE IRAQ.
INSTEAD, WE WANT TO CREATE A VERY FUN AND OPEN COMMUNITY THAT.
SO FOR EXAMPLE CORNHOLE TOURNAMENT WHERE MAYBE THE PRIZE.
WATER BARREL COULD HAVE EDUCATION TIME WELL BUT IT WOULD OTHER THINGS LIKE.
THERE'S A STEEL DRUM BAND AT WEST SIDE THAT WE HAVE NOT ASKED THEM.
GET THE FUNDING AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF AND THEN ASK THEM.
AND SO IF WE HAVE LIKE ONE OR TWO SCHOOL GROUPS.
AIDED BY. MUCH AS VERY INTERESTED IN CORAL REEF.
RIGHT. WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT THINGS LIKE THAT WOULD BE RELEVANT TO HOW THEY ARE TAKEN.
THEIR HOME, WHETHER IT'S RENTED OR OWNED OR APARTMENT COMPLEX.
SO WE'RE AIMING FOR SMALL OR FIRST YEAR.
WE WANT TO SCALE OVER TIME, ALSO WANT IT TO BE A SUCCESS.
AND FLOP. FOR ALL OR A FEW HUNDRED PEOPLE FOCUSED AROUND FUN.
[00:25:11]
YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY EVERYTHING.THAT'S KIND OF WHERE I WAS GOING. I JUST I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT THE EDUCATION AND OUTREACH COMPONENT, YOU KNOW, WHETHER IT'S YOU KNOW, AND AGAIN, I'M WITH YOU 100% ON IT'S LOW, YOU KNOW, AND DO IT WELL AND THEN MAYBE, YOU KNOW, IN THE FUTURE, LOOK AT THE POSSIBILITY OF A 3 TO 4 HOUR BREAKOUT SESSION TYPE THING TO HIGHLIGHT SOME.
BUT AND I MAY BE MIXING SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T NEED TO BE MIXED HERE BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS WOULD BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO COME OUT AND HAVE FUN, HAVE SOME BOOTHS FOR PEOPLE TO ENGAGE AND, YOU KNOW, JUST KIND OF LIGHTHEARTED AND AND HAVE THE EXPERTS THERE.
BUT YEAH, I WAS JUST CURIOUS ON THE EDUCATION COMPONENT.
AS ALWAYS, AFTER WE HAVE THE EVENT, OBVIOUSLY WE'RE HOPING THAT ALL ABOARD WILL BE PRESENT THERE.
WE'LL COME BACK, OBVIOUSLY, THE NEXT MEETING.
OVER YOUR MICROPHONE AT ONE POINT.
FANNING NOTES. IT'S VERY EXCITING.
UM, I THINK THAT THERE'S SOME THERE'S DEFINITELY GOING TO BE STAFF INVOLVED.
I THINK THAT WE'LL HAVE TO TALK.
SO YOU'RE LEADING IT, RIGHT? THAT'S KIND OF. ALL RIGHT.
AND THEN WE HAVE SOME VENDORS WHO MIGHT PARTICIPATE JUST BECAUSE IT'S PART OF THEIR PERSPECTIVE.
LOTS OF THINGS. IT SHOULD COME TOGETHER VERY NICELY.
I THINK THAT ONE OF OUR GOALS WAS ALSO TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT WHAT THE CITY IS ALREADY AND HAS BEEN DOING FOR A DECADE, MORE THAN DECADES, FOR TO REDUCE THEIR IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT, TO REDUCE, MAKE THEMSELVES MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT.
ALSO THAT PEOPLE DON'T AREN'T AWARE OF EVEN THE SOLAR PANELS OUTSIDE.
I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY KNOW WHAT THOSE ARE.
I HAD SNAKES, THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO I THINK THOSE ARE SOMETHING TO ALSO SEE THE WILDLIFE ASPECT OF SUSTAINABILITY.
I'M VERY EXCITED. SO JUST EVERYONE KNOWS WE HAVE TO GET.
MY UNDERSTANDING IS WE HAVE TO GET APPROVAL FROM THE MUNICIPAL FOUNDATION NEXT.
WE'LL BE ABLE TO GET SOME THINGS APPROVED ON THE STAFF SIDE, AND THEN I'LL BE ABLE TO COME BACK TO YOU ALL AND SAY, HERE'S THE EXACT THINGS AND MAYBE WE CAN EVEN HAVE STAFF TALKING TO, I THINK THIS.
HAVE STAFF GIVE US LIKE DOCUMENTATION THAT WE COULD THEN.
I THINK EACH OF US CIRCLES OF PEOPLE AND WE'D BE ABLE TO PROVIDE CONTACT INFORMATION, ALL THE DETAILS ABOUT THE EVENT TO GET THESE VENDORS OR VOLUNTEERS OR DONORS INVOLVED IN.
SO I DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION YET BECAUSE WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE MUNICIPAL FOUNDATION TO.
SO IT WOULD BE THE THE PALM BAY MUNICIPAL FOUNDATION IS THE 500 1C3 NON PROFIT ARM OF THE CITY.
AND IT WOULD BE A GOOD WAY TO STRUCTURE THIS.
THAT WOULD BE THE PURPOSE OF THE MEETING.
IF THERE'S NO MORE DISCUSSION, WE HAVE A FIRST.
IN A SECOND WE HAVE. ALL IN FAVOR.
ALL RIGHT. MOTION CARRIES. WELL, THAT IS ALL OF OUR NEW BUSINESS.
[OTHER BUSINESS:]
WE'LL OPEN IT UP TO ANY UPCOMING MEETINGS OR EVENTS OF INTEREST.[00:30:10]
IT'S A SEASON. THAT'S THE ONSET OF ALL EVERY WEEKEND HAVING SOMETHING SOMEWHERE GOING ON.SO, YOU KNOW, THE COCOA BEACH ART FESTIVAL, THE TURKEY.
UM, TURKEY CREEK IS HAVING THE TURKEY CREEK IS HAVING THEIR ART SHOW.
WHOLE BUNCH OF STUFF. LIKE EVERY WEEKEND THERE'S SOMETHING SOMEWHERE.
WHEN DOES THE LIGHT FESTIVAL START IN BOMBAY? IT'S THIS.
THIS FRIDAY, THE 25TH BLACK FRIDAY STARTS AND RUNS THROUGH A BEGINNING OF JANUARY.
AND THE ART SHOW AT TURKEY CREEK IS RESCHEDULED.
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE RIGHT AFTER NICOLE.
SO IT'S DECEMBER 17TH, 830 TO 3:00 PM AT THE TONI ROSA COMMUNITY CENTER.
THAT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO FUNDRAISE FOR TURKEY CREEK.
YOU REPEAT THAT DATE AND TIME? YES, IT IS SATURDAY, DECEMBER THE 17TH, FROM 830 TO 3 P.M.
AT THE TONY ROSA COMMUNITY CENTER ON PORT MALABAR BOULEVARD.
CAN YOU REMIND US WHICH PARK THAT'S AT? IT'S AT THE FRED POPPY REGIONAL PARK DOWN AT THE END OF MALABAR AND CLOSE TO THE ST JOHN'S HERITAGE PARKWAY.
I MADE LIKE SHOW PARADE ON DECEMBER THE THIRD.
I LIKE THIS. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ALL THE IMPORTANT STUFF.
SO THE LIGHT SHOW PARADE, THE ONLY PEOPLE THIS IS BENEFITING IS MY CHILDREN.
SO I'LL. I'LL RUN THROUGH ALL THAT IF YOU WANT.
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2ND, OUR TREE LIGHTING CEREMONY.
SO WE'RE DOING IT BIGGER THAN WE HAVE BEFORE.
WE ACTUALLY PLANTED A LIVE TREE OUT IN FRONT OF CITY HALL.
THAT'S A CHRISTMAS TREE LIKE SHAPE.
AND I THINK IT'S A CEDAR OF SOME SORT, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN.
IT'S PERMANENT, RIGHT? PERMANENT? YEAH. IT'S SO THAT WE CAN HAVE OUR CEREMONY OUT THERE.
SO THAT'S. THAT'S GOING TO BE THAT EVENING.
AND WE'LL NOT ONLY HAVE THE TREE LIGHTING, BUT WE'LL HAVE SOME FOOD TRUCKS.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE DIFFERENT CHORAL GROUPS THERE, MAYBE SOME OTHER FUN THINGS.
AND THAT PARADE STARTS AT 6 P.M..
SO, YOU KNOW, PLAN ACCORDINGLY.
BUT IT'S A HUGE IT'S A HUGE PARADE.
IT'S WONDERFUL. IT'S A LOT OF FUN.
AND IF YOU CAN COME OUT AND FIND A SPOT JUST TO BE ALONG THE ROUTE, YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.
UM, SO I MAKE SURE I HAVE SOMETHING TO ADD TO THIS.
UH, JUST WANT TO REMIND YOU ALL.
HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON. LET ME.
YOU'RE INVITING US TO YOUR PLACE? WE ACTUALLY DO KEEP OUR HOME OPEN IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME OVER.
YOU DO? I MEAN, NOT FOR ALL OF YOU OUT THERE.
OKAY, SO THAT WOULD BE NOVEMBER 20, 24TH.
I DID ACTUALLY HAVE TO LOOK THAT UP.
I DID NOT KNOW THAT I WAS DOING IT.
ALL RIGHT. BEFORE THIS GETS ANY MORE EMBARRASSING.
I THINK UNLESS WE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE, IT MIGHT BE TIME.
I THINK ONE ITEM OF BUSINESS WE SHOULD DO NOMINATIONS FOR VICE CHAIR.
SO WE ARE GOING TO NEED TO ADD THAT WE DO THAT TODAY OR DO WE NEED TO ADD THAT TO NEXT AGENDA? I. OR A NEW MOTION TO BECAUSE WE REMOVED YOU FROM VICE-CHAIR TO CHAIR OR TO DO IT TODAY.
BUT I KNOW LAST TIME WE HAD TO WAIT.
I NEED TO GET REACQUAINTED WITH THE BOARD POLICIES TO BE SURE.
I WAS. HAPPY WITH WHAT I'D ASKED ABOUT BEING ABLE TO PUT BOTH TOGETHER.
IT WOULD HAVE TO BE AT THE NEXT MEETING.
ITS CHAIR TODAY, AND I CAN BRING THAT UP AT THE NEXT MEETING.
FINE. YEAH. PLUS, BY THEN, YOU'LL HOPEFULLY HAVE A COUPLE MORE FOLKS ON THE BOARD, SO.
WHAT DATE IS THE NEXT MEETING? DO YOU KNOW OFFHAND? IT'LL BE DECEMBER 28TH.
[00:35:03]
FAITH. IT IS A GOOD CALL OUT, MR. LUCE. WE'LL GO AHEAD.AND IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'LL BE ON THE AGENDA FOR OUR DECEMBER MEETING.
ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER ITEMS OF BUSINESS BEFORE WE GO AHEAD AND HAVE SOMEONE MOTION TO ADJOURN? MOVE. RETURN. WE HAVE A SECOND.
SECOND. JOE CONCLUDES THE FASTEST SUSTAINABILITY BOARD I THINK WE'VE EVER HAD SINCE.
