OKAY MOVING ON TO PRESENTATIONS DISASTER RELIEF COMMITTEE MISSION VICE CHAIRMAN JUAN BERMUDEZ. GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY AND WELCOME TO TONIGHT'S DISASTER RELIEF COMMITTEE EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETING. LET ME START BY SAYING WHEN I'M JUAN BERMUDEZ I AM THE VICE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD AND IT'S AN HONOR TO PRESENT THIS PRESENTATION TO YOU TONIGHT. FIRST LET ME INTRODUCE THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND I GONNA START TO MY LEFT AND TO MY RIGHT. THAT'S RIGHT. SO I'LL INTRODUCE SEAN MCFADDEN IS THAT CORRECT? IS THAT RIGHT. THAT'S CORRECT. THANK YOU SEAN. I HAVE DAWN [INAUDIBLE]. HELLO. MS. LAURIE PARKER. DID I SAY LAURIE YET. OKAY AND OUR OWN MR. MAYOR WILL CAPOTE. I JUST GOING TO TALK REAL QUICK ABOUT WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO. SO DURING A DISASTER REGARDLESS IF IT'S A NATURAL DISASTER SUCH AS A CATEGORY 4 HURRICANE ON A DIRECT IMPACT WITH A ISLAND OR IN MAN MADE DISASTER SUCH AS THE EVENTS OF 9/11 IN NEW YORK CITY AND THIS EVENTS HAPPENS IT IS A NORMAL REACTION AS INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS TO TRY TO HELP THOSE IN NEED. US AS FLORIDIANS WE ARE VERY VERY ACCUSTOM THE TYPE OF DISASTERS THAT HAPPEN YOU KNOW WHAT [INAUDIBLE] HURRICANES, WILDFIRES, TORNADOES, AND SO ON THAT AFFECT THE LIVES OF NOT JUST OUR CITIZENS BUT THE ENTIRE STATE AND ESPECIALLY THE MOST VULNERABLE. THE DISASTERS DOES NOT LIMIT THEMSELVES TO TAKING LIFE OR DESTROYING PROPERTIES. THE IMMEDIATE AND THE AFTERMATH OF A DISASTER HAS A PROFOUND IMPACT ON THOSE THAT ARE THE MOST VULNERABLE IN THE DISASTER AREA IN ORDER FOR THEM TO ACQUIRE TO REACH THE BASIC NECESSITIES FOOD, WATER, SHELTER, HEALTHCARE, ETC. AS A COMMUNITY WE UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENS AS WE FEEL THE NEED TO HELP THOSE AFFECTED BY THE DISASTER. WHILE THERE ARE MANY ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS WORKING TO HELP THOSE IN NEED SOMETIMES THOSE ORGANIZATIONS ARE FACED WITH VERY COMPLEX AND DIFFICULT CHALLENGES SUCH AS THE INABILITY TO BE ABLE TO REACH AND INFORM THE PUBLIC OF THEIR COLLECTION EFFORTS, STORAGE FACILITIES, SPACE REQUIREMENTS, TRANSPORTATION, OF THOSE COLLECTED ITEMS IF IT'S NEAR AN AREA THAT IS NEAR TO WHERE WE AT. AND IF IT'S FAR AWAY THEN WE NEED TO MOVE THOSE RESOURCES TO A PORT OR AN AIRPORT. PRIOR TO REACHING THAT DESTINATION THERE IS A COORDINATION THERE HAS TO BE DONE FOR THOSE RESOURCES TO BE MOVED AND ALLOCATED AT THEIR FINAL DESTINATION. ADDITIONAL VEHICULAR AND PERSONAL MOVEMENT THAT COULD DEFINITELY CAUSE SOME HARDSHIP INTO THE GOVERNMENT AND ORGANIZATIONS THEY ARE TRYING TO EXECUTE THAT RECOVERY. SO BASED ON THOSE NEEDS THE DISASTER RELIEF COMMITTEE EXECUTIVE BOARD WAS BORN AND ESTABLISHED ONTO THE PALM BAY MUNICIPAL FOUNDATION A 501C3 NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION.
WE SHOWED THAT THE DRC IS TO SERVE AS A RESOURCE AND CONDUIT FOR THE COLLECTION OF FUNDS THAT WILL BE DISTRIBUTED TO NONPROFIT SHAREABLE AND RELIEF ORGANIZATIONS DURING AND AFTER A DISASTER. HAVING THE DIRECT SUPPORT OF THE CITY DEPARTMENTS ALLOWS US TO FOCUS ON THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT WILL HAVE THE GREATEST AND MOST EFFECTIVE IMPACT ON THE DISASTER AREA. RELIEF COULD BE PROVIDED FROM OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE SLIDE ALL THE WAY TO THE INTERNATIONAL RELIEF EFFORTS THE FACT THAT THE DISASTERS DO NOT HAVE BOUNDARIES THEY CAN AFFECT EVERYBODY IN ANYWHERE.
THE SUCCESS AND THE IMPACT OF THIS PROGRAM RELIES COMPLETELY ON OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY MEANING OUR PEOPLE, OUR BUSINESSES, ORGANIZATIONS, OUR CHURCHES, AND CLERGYS IS ALL WORKING TOGETHER IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CITY DEPARTMENTS TO SUPPORT THIS EFFORTS.
SO HOW DO WE ALL COME TOGETHER AND HELP TO ESTABLISH THIS PROGRAM AND BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN IT. THE
[00:05:01]
CITY HAS ESTABLISHED A WEB PAGE THROUGH THE CITY'S WEBSITES THAT WILL ALLOW ANYBODY TO DONATE. THIS CAN REACH YOU CAN REACH THIS PAGE BY JUST CLICK TYPE IN THE WORD DISASTER RELIEF ON THE UPPER CORNER OF THAT WEB PAGE. THE FIRST RESULT WILL BRING YOU TO THIS PAGE WILL BE THE SAME PAGE YOU'RE LOOKING AT AT THIS POINT. THE DONATION PROCESS IS COMPLETED TO THE CITY'S PAYPAL ACCOUNT.HOW THIS PROCESS HELPS. WELL IT PROVIDES A CENTRALIZED HUB TO SUPPORT THE RELIEF EFFORT FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT WERE HERE FOR THE HURRICANE EFFORT RELIEF FOR MARIA KNOWS HOW DIFFICULT IT WAS FOR THOSE ORGANIZATIONS TO BE ABLE TO REACH OUT AND CONTACT EVERYBODY AND COLLECT ALL THOSE RESOURCES. SO THIS WILL PROVIDE THAT ONE STOP SHOP FOR EVERYBODY WITH A WEB PAGE AND BE ABLE TO COLLECT THE MONEY AND BE ABLE TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE THAT WE NEED. ALL CONTRIBUTIONS WILL BE AND I'M GOING TO I'M GOING TO MAKE A NOTE OF THIS IT SAYS SOME AND MOST OF THE CONTRIBUTIONS WILL BE TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATIONS TO A DONATION RECEIVED PROVIDED BY THE CITY OF PALM BAY IN THE QUESTIONS IN REFERENCE TO WHICH DONATIONS CAN BE I CONSIDER A TAX RELIEF. IT'LL BE MORE CLEAR BY THE CITY ATTORNEY IS THAT CORRECT OR FINANCE? FINANCE. AND FINALLY THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES A TRUSTED FUND MANAGER WITH TRANSPARENCY AND OVERSIGHT AS IS JUST ABOUT EVERY DEPARTMENT OR EVERY DEPARTMENT IN THE CITY HAS TO BE. OKAY SO ALL THE INFORMATION WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR THE PUBLIC TO LOOK AT. HOPEFULLY THIS INTRODUCTION HAS INSPIRE IN YOU THE DESIRE TO CONTRIBUTE IN HELPING THOSE THAT WILL NEED OUR HELP IN THE FUTURE. IN CLOSING WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU IN SUPPORTING THIS AFFECT THOSE AFFECTED BY THE DISASTER. DON'T FORGET TO ADD YOUR NUMBERS TO YOUR ACCOUNT. THOSE NUMBERS TO YOUR CONTACT AND ON BEHALF OF THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF THIS GREAT CAUSE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. VICE CHAIR. JUST LEAVE THAT UP THERE BECAUSE THE NEXT NUMBER TWO IS COMMITTEE INTRODUCTION AND YOU DID THE INTRODUCTION AND THOSE ARE THE ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE TO INCLUDE MYSELF LIKE ANYTHING YOU TRY TO ACTIVATE THE COMMUNITY TO COME OUT AS YOU CAN TELL. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER IT'S A WORKSHOP OR AS A REGULAR BOARD MEETING PEOPLE AND I KNOW EVERYBODY HERE MADE AN EFFORT TO INVITE PEOPLE TO COME OUT BUT THE RESIDENTS JUST LIKE ANY TYPICAL THING. THEY DON'T COME OUT UNTIL IT AFFECTS THEM DIRECTLY. JUNE 1ST THROUGH NOVEMBER 30TH IS HURRICANE SEASON AND I KNOW THAT THIS COMMITTEE WILL BE BUSY BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL BE CALLING US AFTER THIS GETS OUT IN THE PAPER AND SO ON.
THAT'S WHEN EVERYBODY'LL BE LIKE OH I DIDN'T KNOW. HEY WE HAD A MEETING TO KIND OF GIVE YOU A SUMMARY OF WHAT THIS COMMITTEE IS ALL ABOUT AND HOW YOU COULD HELP AND HOW WE CAN HELP YOU. SO I NEVER FEEL DISCOURAGED BECAUSE I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 11 YEARS AND I KNOW EXACTLY HOW PEOPLE GET EXCITED SO WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE PAST ITEM NUMBER TWO IN THE PRESENTATION TO ITEM NUMBER THREE. SO ALL MEMBERS OF THIS COMMITTEE PLEASE LET'S GO DOWNSTAIRS. OKAY YES IT'S ACTIVE JUST AS I LOOK AT THIS AND SHOW IT TO THE AUDIENCE.
THIS IS A CHECK YOU COULD TAKE TO ANY BANK CASH IT TAKE A VACATION. ALL RIGHT. BUT IT BUT IN ALL FUN. THIS IS FROM THE MAYOR'S BALL TO THE DISASTER RELIEF COMMITTEE. WE WERE ABLE TO RAISE FOURTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS TO MAKE THIS COMMITTEE GO AND DO WONDERFUL THINGS AS WE MOVE FORWARD. I THINK THAT TODAY WE'LL BE DOING A PRESS RELEASE REGARDING THESE MONEYS BEING GIVEN TO THIS COMMITTEE. AND I THINK FROM THAT
[00:10:02]
POINT ON I THINK WE'RE DRAW ATTENTION. OKAY AND JUNE 1ST STARTS HURRICANE SEASON AND THERE'S SOME THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT DURING THIS MEETING THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS BECAUSE THINGS HAVE HAPPENED IN THE TIME THAT WE HAVEN'T MET SO. WITH THAT I WANT TO PRESENT IT TO EVERYONE.OKAY WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE FROM HERE TO TWO RECIPIENTS TODAY FOR THEIR 1 YEAR PARTICIPATION WITH THIS COMMITTEE. I HAVE LAURIE PARKER AND JUAN BERMUDEZ. I'M GOING TO READ THIS HERE IT SAYS THE CITY OF PALM BAY FLORIDA VOLUNTEER PROGRAM IN RECOGNITION AND APPRECIATION FOR YOUR VOLUNTEER VOLUNTEER SERVICE FOR ONE YEAR AS A BOARD MEMBER REPRESENTATIVE APPOINTED BY CITY COUNCIL. BASIC AND INGREDIENT IN THE FOUNDATION OF OUR CITY IS THE WILLINGNESS TO TAKE INITIATIVE AND THE VOLUNTARY ACCEPTANCE OF RESPONSIBILITY BY PRIVATE CITIZENS. EACH INDIVIDUAL HAS SOME CONTRIBUTION TO OFFER TO THE BENEFIT OF OTHERS AND YOU AS A VOLUNTEER HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE WELL-BEING OF FELLOW RESIDENTS AND THE WELFARE OF ALL OUR CITIZENS BY GIVING TIRELESSLY OF YOUR TIME AND ENERGY WITHOUT DESIRE FOR RECOGNITION, REMUNERATION, OR PERSONAL GAIN. THIS VOLUNTEER PEN IS BUT A SMALL TOKEN OF OUR APPRECIATION FOR YOUR LOYAL AND DEDICATED PUBLIC SERVICE FULLY RENDERED TO THE CITY OF PALM BAY FLORIDA. WITH THAT THIS TO YOU LAURIE AND THIS ONE ALL RIGHT SO CONSIDER YOURSELF NOW A YEAR OLD. WITH THAT WE'RE GOING TO I NEED A MOTION IF EVERYBODY READ THE MINUTES TO ADOPT THE MINUTES OF OCTOBER OF OCTOBER 1ST 2018.
SPECIAL MEETING. NEED A SECOND. I'LL SECOND IT. OKAY SECOND BY DAWN [INAUDIBLE].
ANY ANY DISCUSSION. I GET CAUGHT UP IN SAYING COUNCIL SO I'M SORRY. IT'S ALL GOOD. IT'S ALL GOOD. ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSE SAY NAY. MOTION CARRIES. OKAY. PUBLIC COMMENTS.
ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS OF THE SORT. NOBODY RUSH ALL AT ONCE. SO WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO NEW BUSINESS. NEW BUSINESS NUMBER ONE IS CONSIDERATION OF DRAFT WEB PAGE AND COMMITTEE MARKETING TOOLS. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH CITY STAFF. LAURIE I'M GOING TO TURN THAT OVER TO YOU. YES THAT'S WHAT I WAS TOLD. YOU HAVE PRESENT MARKETING FLYER FOR FINAL REVISION. THIS WAS A FLYER THAT I PUT TOGETHER JUST THAT WE CAN HAND OUT TO PEOPLE LIKE AT EVENTS OR THINGS LIKE THAT. SO I GUESS WE JUST NEED TO SEE IF WE LIKE IT IF WE WANT TO CHANGE IT IF
[00:15:05]
WE WANT TO HAVE A DIFFERENT ONE DESIGNED WHATEVER YOU FEEL. DRC. JUST ONE COMMENT ON. CAN WE CHANGE THE WORDING WHERE IT SAYS BY NATURAL AND MANMADE TO OR MANMADE NOT IN ADDITION TO BUT EITHER OR. ANY OTHER CHANGES BOARD? I'D LIKE TO CHANGE THE LOGO TO THE DRC LOGO. WHAT ELSE. THIS IS WHERE WE GET EVERYTHING IRONED OUT. SO AS FAR AS A COLOR SCHEME GOES IS THERE ANYTHING THAT MAYBE A LITTLE MORE LIKE STAND OUT KNOCK YOU IN THE NOSE AND GET YOU EXCITED OR LIKE GO OOH. YOU KNOW JUST SOMETHING THAT CATCHES YOUR EYE IT'S IT'S A LITTLE FLAT FROM A COLOR PERSPECTIVE.THAT'S JUST ME. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT TO THE HITTING THAT WE USING FOR THE SLIDE PRESENTATION. WE JUST MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT MORE CLEAR THAN THE BACKGROUND. I KNOW WE HAVE A TIER A WATERMARK BUT THAT WILL BE VERY VERY DIFFICULT ONCE WE PRINT THAT OUT SO IF WE CAN CHANGE THE PHOTO WITH WITH THE HEADING THAT WE USE FOR THE SLIDES WE JUST SHOW. I THINK IT WILL BE A LOT MORE MORE INDICATE. WHICH WHICH SLIDE WITHIN YOUR.
ALL THE SLIDES HAVE THE SAME EXACT. I THINK THAT WILL BE MORE CLEAR AND TRY TO USE THAT. OH THAT OKAY THAT. TRY TO USE THE WATERMARK. SO GO WITH THAT WATERMARK INSTEAD OF THE ONE IN THE BACKGROUND IN THE FLYER. ACTUALLY WHAT I MEANT IS USE IT AS A HEADING. RIGHT. LIKE IN THE SLIDE ROUND. NO THAT'S WHAT I MEAN. CREATE IT AS A WATERMARK. TAKE THE WATERMARK OUT AND PUT IT ON TOP OF THE HEADING. I UNDERSTAND. NO ADDITIONAL COMMENTS HERE.
SO AS I SAID BEFORE IT'S JUST THE COLOR. I THINK IF THERE IS ANY WAY TO GET SOMETHING THAT JUST POPS A LITTLE BETTER YOU KNOW IT'S JUST IT'S A LITTLE FLAT YOU KNOW YOU LOOK AT IT AND IT DOESN'T SAY I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S EVEN RED. RED RED'S GREAT COLOR BUT YOU KNOW IT COULD EVEN BE A BLUE BUT A DIFFERENT SHADE OF BLUE SOMETHING THAT IS JUST A LITTLE MORE HELLO. AND WITH THE HANDS. EXACTLY.
YOU WANT YOU WANT PEOPLE TO GET SUCKED INTO IT AND AND IT JUST DOES NOT SCREAM HELLO.
PICTURES ARE GREAT. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOMETHING THAT EVEN ACCENTUATES THEM SO YOUR EYE. I JUST FEEL YOUR EYE DOESN'T EVEN SEE THAT BECAUSE THE COLORS ARE SO MUTED IN EVERYTHING KIND OF LIKE FALLS IN NO DISRESPECT TO WHOEVER DID ALL THIS WORK BECAUSE I LOVE THE PICTURES I JUST. NO OFFENSE TO. LAURIE I LOVE YOU YOU'RE AWESOME AND HONESTLY. IT'S THE STARTING POINT I MEAN RIGHT NOW THAT THAT'S WHY THIS MEETING WAS BROUGHT TOGETHER TO KIND OF GET US THERE SO THEN WE COULD LAUNCH THE WEBSITE AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT GOES WITH THIS. SEAN YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD.
TO BE HONEST I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE WE WOULD BE PUTTING THESE FLYERS.
ALL THE SUGGESTIONS ARE GREAT BUT AS SORRY PROBABLY ONE OF THE YOUNGER ONES HERE IT'S ABOUT TARGET AUDIENCE. IT'S LIKE WHO WHO DO THESE FLYERS GO OUT TO. IF WE'RE TRYING TO PUT THEM OUT TO THE PUBLIC MAYBE SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD BE FINE. BUT IF WE'RE TRYING TO GET THEM TO OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES YOU DO YOU NEED SOME WE NEED SOMETHING THAT AS DAWN SAYS IT POPS TO A BUSINESS THAT SAYS HEY LOOK THIS IS FOR YOU. THIS IS WHAT WILL HELP YOU IN THE FUTURE ALSO. YOU HAVE TWO COMBINATION TWO
[00:20:06]
DIFFERENT ENTITIES THAT YOU'RE TARGETING THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY FOR FUNDING BUT YOU'RE ALSO TARGETING THE CHURCH COMMUNITY. SO I'M I'M GONNA SAY FROM A PERSPECTIVE OF A PERSON WHO ACTUALLY GOES OUT I MARKET ALL FOLK OKAY AND I DON'T I DON'T DISCRIMINATE OKAY. DISCRIMINATION. AND FOR FOR ME EVEN A FLYER IS VERY IMPORTANT WHEN YOU'RE A ONE ON ONE FACE TO FACE WITH A BUSINESS AND YOU KNOW YOU WOULDN'T USE IT FOR OTHER EVENTS OKAY OR MAYBE YOU DO HAVE AN EVENT OR OR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MAYBE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE PUT IN THE BACK SLOT OR WE HAVE AN AREA TO PLACE IT SO PEOPLE CAN GRAB AND LOOK AND READ AND WE MAKE IT AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC THAT WAY AS WE DO IN OTHER PLACES OKAY. AND MAYBE MAKE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE BUSINESSES TO HAVE THESE SITTING IN THERE LOBBIES. [INAUDIBLE] TO THE CHAMBER. YEP ABSOLUTELY ABSOLUTELY. YOU KNOW THERE'S LOTS OF OPPORTUNITY FOR THE FLYERS. AND FOR OUR FOLKS HERE LOCALLY NOT EVERYBODY HAS A SMARTPHONE. SOME FOLKS STILL LIKE THEIR OLD FLIP PHONE. I KNOW. SO THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY I THINK TO CONNECT WITH ALL PEOPLE. SO ARE WE LOOKING TO GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD BECAUSE IT'S A LOT OF CHANGES BEING MADE. SO IS THERE IS THERE ANY WAY TO MAYBE OBTAIN SOME PRO BONO WORK TO HELP BOOST OR TAKE THIS BURDEN OFF OF LAURIE'S SHOULDERS BECAUSE. HOLD ON. THE CITY MANAGER HAS A SUGGESTION. YAY LISA. I ALWAYS HAVE A SUGGESTION. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. I'LL HAVE A LITTLE PUBLIC COMMENT FOR YOU. A COUPLE OF THINGS WE CAN BRING IT IN-HOUSE WE DO HAVE FOUR FOLKS THAT ARE IN COMMUNICATIONS THAT WE CAN PULL IN ONE AS A GRAPHIC DESIGNER HAS THAT ARTISTIC ABILITY. SO THIS IS A GREAT KICK BOARD FOR US. SO WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR. BRING IT BACK. I ALWAYS ALSO WOULD PROBABLY SINCE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT PRINT MEDIA AS WELL AS DIGITAL SOCIAL MEDIA SO WE USE ONE PLATFORM TO KIND OF INTRODUCE THAT IDEA OVER AND OVER INTO THE SAME LOCAL THE SAME TASTE THE SAME THINGS KEEP GOING ON MARKETING AND WE'D WANT TO BRING BACK SOME COSTS FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU SHOULD CONSIDER WHAT YOU GONNA PRINT ARE YOU GOING TO PRINT POSTCARD SIZE, BUSINESS CARD SIZE, 8 1/2 BY 11. NO ONE LIKES A BIG [INAUDIBLE] PIECE PAPER WHEN THEY PULL IT OUT BECAUSE THEY LOSE IT IN THEIR CAR. I'M SORRY. THAT'S MY PERSPECTIVE. I'M A CARD PERSON OR A SMALLER FORM FACTOR YOU SLIDE IN YOUR WALL AND YOU GO OH RIGHT.KIND OF LIKE A GIFT CARD. I'M SUPPOSED TO GIVE I'M SUPPOSED TO GIVE FORTH ON SOMETHING I'M GOING TO PAY IT FORWARD WITH THIS GIFT CARD FOR DONATE NOW BECAUSE I WANT TO HELP MY COMMUNITY. JUST A THOUGHT. I ALSO CONTEND THAT WHEN YOU'RE DEALING WITH PAPER TODAY WITH THE FOLKS THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH THAT SOMETHING SMALL MAY BE AN ISSUE FOR THEM. WELL SO WE WOULD BRING BACK A COUPLE THINGS TO [INAUDIBLE] COSTS BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE FROM YOUR FUNDING TO PRINT FROM YOUR FUND. SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT'S COST EFFECTIVE FOR YOU AT ALL. WE CAN LOOK AT PRO BONO AS WELL BECAUSE WHEN WE GO OUT FOR PRINTING WE SAY THIS IS FOR A 5013C THERE MIGHT BE SOME EXTRA DISCOUNTS THAT WE CAN GO AHEAD AND WORK INTO A PAPER LIKE A A LARGER DEAL. I DON'T THINK ANY I THINK YOU WANT ENVELOPES OR ANYTHING MAILED BECAUSE THAT'S 56 CENTS A PIECE AND PLUS STUFFING AND FOLDING. IF YOU'RE DOING A CAMPAIGN WE COULD DO THAT MAYBE ONCE OR TWICE. GET OUR BUSINESS TAX RECEIPTS. WE CAN DO OUR OUR MAILING THROUGH THAT. WHILE OUR REGISTRED BUSINESS WITHIN THE CITY OF PALM BAY TO DO THAT. WE CAN DO IT DIGITALLY WELL WHICH IS LIKE.
WE HAVE LUNCHEON FOR THE CHAMBER. OKAY WE COULD BE PUTTING THAT OUT THERE. WELL THAT CAN BE A SLIDE FOR THEIR CHAMBER AT THE END WHERE THEY YOU KNOW WOULD DO THE MAYOR'S BALL WE DO YOUR DONATE NOW. EXACTLY. I THINK THAT WOULD BE REALLY AWESOME AND IF. THANK YOU THANK YOU LISA. YOU'RE WELCOME. OKAY. THANK YOU. MR. MAYOR.
A COUPLE OF THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT IN HERE. THE FIRST ONE I THINK THAT BASED ON THIS THIS PRESENTATION YOU JUST YOU JUST MAKES ME REALIZE THAT WE NEED TO IDENTIFY THROUGH THE YEAR THE EVENTS THAT THE CITY IS INVOLVED THAT THAT YOU KNOW THAT IS SPECIFIC TO EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT YOU KNOW A [INAUDIBLE] PREPAREDNESS ALL THESE EVENTS THAT INVOLVES YOU KNOW WHAT WE DO IS SO THAT WE CAN BE INVOLVED WE CAN HAVE THIS FLYER PREPARE UTILIZING ALL THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS. ABSOLUTELY COULDN'T ASK FOR BETTER RECOMMENDATIONS. I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT THAT AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO GET THE WORD OUT BECAUSE IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT WE CAN DO WITHOUT A GREAT COST. ALSO I WANT TO ADD I SPOKE WITH. AND I KNOW YOU KNOW JAVIER [INAUDIBLE] OF A DEAL TODAY. I SPOKE WITH HIM BEFORE DAY YESTERDAY AND HE'S WILLING
[00:25:05]
TO PLACE WHATEVER FLYER WE CREATED ON HIS NEWSPAPER FOR THE HISPANIC COMMUNITY FOR FREE AT NO COST TO US FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR. SO I THINK THAT'LL BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY WE NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT OTHER VENUES THAT WILL DO THE SAME TYPE OF PRO BONO IN ADDITION TO ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU JUST MENTIONED IS I THINK THERE'S A GREAT. SO A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT JUST STARTED TO FLOW AS WE'RE SPEAKING. SO DEFINITELY THE ADVERTISING WOULDN'T GO WITH SOMETHING A LITTLE BETTER. WE NEED TAKE A LOOK AT ALL THE EVENTS THROUGH THE YEAR THAT WE NEED TO PLUG AND PLAY OURSELVES INTO IT AND THEN TAKE A LOOK AT THE OTHER VENUES THAT CAN PROVIDE THE ASSISTANCE TO THE ADVERTISEMENT. NO I MEAN THIS WILL GO BACK AND WE COULD ALWAYS RECEIVE IT BY EMAIL AND GIVE THE OKAY TO PLACE ON THE WEBSITE SO THAT'S NOT IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL. THE DECISION THAT NEEDED TO BE MADE IT JUST THAT THIS IS THE STARTING POINT TO GET THERE. NOW TO MOVE ON BECAUSE WE'RE NOT VOTING ON THAT ONE IS THE REVIEW AND UPDATES FOR THE DRC AS [INAUDIBLE] ABOUT THE WEB PAGE.SO WHEN WE GOT WORD THAT YOU GUYS WERE READY TO STAND UP THE DISASTER RELIEF COMMITTEE WE STARTED WORKING ON GETTING A WEBSITE PUT TOGETHER FOR YOU GUYS. SO WE SET UP A BASIC GRAPHIC AND SLIDER WE ALSO WORKED ON CREATING A LOGO THAT WAS BASED ON PALM BAY'S EXISTING LOGO. JUST TO KIND OF DO A SPIN ON THAT AND HAVE SOME SORT OF BRANDING ESTABLISHED FOR THE DISASTER RELIEF COMMITTEE. WE GOT SOME BASIC INFORMATION TOGETHER IF YOU'D LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE COPY BUT BASICALLY WE'VE HAD THAT EXISTING INFORMATION OUT THERE BEFORE. IT EXPLAINS THE ORIGIN OF THE COMMITTEE AND HOW IT WAS FORMED AND THEN THE STRUCTURE OF THE COMMITTEE ITSELF. WE ALSO ADDED A DONATE BUTTON WHICH WILL GO TO THE PALM BAY MUNICIPAL FUNDS PAYPAL ACCOUNT. THOSE DONATIONS CAN BE MADE SEPARATELY FROM THE MUNICIPAL FOUNDATIONS ACCOUNT. SO IT WILL GO STRAIGHT TO THE DISASTER RELIEF COMMITTEE. AND WE DID PUT A NOTE ON THERE THAT ANYTHING DONATED VIA PAYPAL IS GOING TO HAVE A SMALL FEE ON IT. WE CAN ALSO HAVE STAFF ACCEPT CASH OR CHECK DONATIONS HERE AT THE CITY. AND WE PUT A LITTLE NOTE ABOUT THE FIRST APPROVED DISBURSEMENT FROM THE DISASTER RELIEF COMMITTEE TO THE SPCA FOR ASSISTING ANIMALS FOLLOWING HURRICANE FLORENCE. AND THEN WE ADDED AT THE BOTTOM CONTACT INFORMATION AND THE NAMES OF ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE. SO OBVIOUSLY AS YOU GUYS SEE FIT WE CAN SCALE UP SCALE BACK ADD THINGS OBVIOUSLY WE CAN YOU KNOW AS WE MAKE PRESENTATION TO THE SPCA WE CAN INCLUDE LIKE A PHOTO OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. BUT RIGHT NOW IT'S JUST A BASIC WEBSITE TO GET US STARTED AND WE CAN CERTAINLY MAKE ADJUSTMENTS AS YOU ALL SEE FIT. WHAT I'M TRYING TO GET NOW TO IS THE DISCLAIMER IS THAT PART OF WHAT WAS NEEDED. IS THAT THE. ARE YOU REFERRING TO THE THE EXEMPTION THE SECTION 501C3. YES THAT WE ADDED ON THERE AFTER I BELIEVE ONE OF YOU MIGHT HAVE MADE THE SUGGESTION OR STAFF MIGHT HAVE MADE THAT SUGGESTION. SO THAT IS INCLUDED AS WELL. OKAY THE MEETINGS BEFORE THAT ABOUT THE 501C3 EXEMPTION BEING ON THERE. OKAY SO THAT NEEDED TO BE PLACED ON THERE. OKAY ALL RIGHT. SO WE'RE WE'RE GOOD ON THERE THEN.
GO AHEAD. JUST A QUICK QUESTION ON THIS. IS THIS AN ACTIVE SITE ALREADY. RIGHT NOW WE DON'T HAVE THE NAVIGATION LIVE UNTIL YOU ALL HAVE THE CHANCE TO VIEW IT. APPROVE IT. AND REVIEW IT. I ACTUALLY ACCESS IT TODAY BY WHAT WE CALL A FRIENDLY LINK SO YOU CAN ACCESS IT BY GOING TO KEEP PBFL.ORG/DONATE BUT IT'S NOT IN THE SITE'S LIVE NAVIGATION FOR FOLKS TO GET TO RIGHT NOW. YEAH I WAS GOING TO ASK BECAUSE I TRIED TODAY. I TRIED TO LOOK THROUGH IT AND GO THROUGH THE HEADING PORTION OF MOVING THROUGH THE [INAUDIBLE]. I DIDN'T FIND IT. SO WHAT I DID IS I TYPE THE NAME OF THE ORGANIZATION ON THE SEARCH BUTTON AND IT BROUGHT ME TO THE SLIDE RIGHT HERE. YEAH WE ACTUALLY BROUGHT IT BACK TO WHERE I COULD ACCESS IT SO I COULD PREVIEW IT FOR YOU TODAY. CAN YOU SEND US THE LINK IN AN EMAIL SO WE CAN JUST VIEW IT THAT WAY. YEAH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WANT TO SPEAK ON THIS. IF NOT I'M GONNA NEED A MOTION TO APPROVE THE WEB PAGE AND TO MOVE ON WITH THAT.
[00:30:06]
SO I WOULD LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT IT AND OUR FLYER AND I THINK BEFORE WE ACTUALLY APPROVE THE WEBSITE AS A WHOLE I'D LIKE TO SEE IF THE FOLKS WHO ARE DOING THE FLYER COME BACK WITH ANYTHING AS WELL AS FAR AS LOGOS, ADDITIONAL ADDITIONAL COLORS, THINGS TO CREATE SOME SORT OF UNIFORMITY IN THE MESSAGE THAT WE'RE GIVING AND AND NOT TRYING TO DELAY IT I DON'T WANT TO DELAY IT I'M LIKE HESITATING TO SAY THAT BUT BY THE SAME TOKEN WE ARE TALKING BRANDING THIS COMMITTEE AND OUR MESSAGE AND SO FORTH SO. OKAY GO AHEAD. SO WE DID DO SOME DESIGN WORK IN TERMS OF SETTING UP A LOGO. IF YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND DISCUSS SEE IF YOU WANTED TO MOVE IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION. NEVER WANTS TO OPEN. SO WE HAVE DIFFERENT VERSIONS WITH TEXT UNDER IT AND BESIDE IT YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THAT ON THE OTHER SLIDER ON THE WEB PAGE BUT IT'S A TAKE OFF THE CITY'S LOGO. YOU MIGHT RECOGNIZE IT BUT IS THIS THE DIRECTION THAT THE BOARD WOULD POTENTIALLY WANT TO CONTINUE TO MOVE WITH THE BRANDING FOR THE COMMITTEE. SO MY THOUGHTS WHEN I LOOKED AT IT WAS MORE OF A HEALTH AND MEDICAL BECAUSE OF THE HEART NOT AND AND I'M NOT SAYING THAT I THINK IT'S LOVELY OKAY BUT I'M NOT SURE IT NECESSARILY CONVEYS THE MESSAGE THAT WE ARE TRYING TO CONVEY TO THE PUBLIC NOW. YES WE ARE THE CITY WITH A HEART. THERE IS JUST NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT. OKAY BUT WE ARE TRYING TO IDENTIFY THIS AS THE DISASTER RELIEF FUND AND I'M NOT SURE THAT SAYS THAT. ANYONE ELSE. JUST A QUICK COMMENT.CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE WEB PAGE ONE MORE TIME. YOU KNOW WHAT I WHEN I LOOK AT THIS IF IF THAT FIRST THE VERY TOP PORTION WHERE ACTUALLY IT SPELLS OUT CITY OF PALM BAY DISASTER RELIEF COMMITTEE WITH THAT LITTLE SIGN THE HEART AND ALL THAT TOGETHER. I MEAN I THINK IS A BEAUTIFUL LOGO. I THINK IF WE IF WE LOOK AT THE ENTIRE PORTION AS A LOGO RATHER THAN JUST A SMALL HEART I THINK IT MAKES MORE SENSE. I LIKE THAT. I REALLY DO LIKE THAT. I AGREE. OKAY SEAN. AND THAT COULD BE USED ON THE FLYERS AS WELL. YEAH SO I LIKE THE LOGO SO. WE JUST WANT TO BRING THAT UP. THIS IS BECAUSE YOU KNOW HURRICANE SEASON IT'S JUST AROUND THE CORNER. IF WE DELAY THE DISCUSSION OF JUST A WEB PAGE FOR THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CITIZENS TO START DONATING AND THE ORGANIZERS BEGAN DONATING WE MIGHT FIND OURSELVES BEHIND THE [INAUDIBLE]. SO AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED I THINK WE KNOW IT'S JUST A SUGGESTION THAT WE NEED TO FIND CONSENSUS WHILE WE'RE HERE AND AN IMPROVEMENT AS WE GO THROUGH THE YEAR. SO IF WE IDENTIFY THINGS THAT WE CAN MAKE BETTER WE ABSOLUTELY NEED TO MOVE ON WITH THOSE THINGS BUT NOT NOT DETERRED THE WEBSITE FROM MOVING FORWARD. OKAY. DAWN.
OKAY. I'M EASY. YOU'RE EASY. OKAY.
LIKE A RAINBOW. ROME WASN'T BUILT IN A DAY RIGHT BRICK BY BRICK MY CITIZEN'S RIGHT. I NEED A MOTION FOR THE WEB PAGE. I KNOW THE FLYER THE MARKETING FLYER NOW HAS BEEN PUT ON HOLD BUT THE WEB PAGE WE COULD LET IT GO. SO I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ACCEPT THE WEB PAGE AS IT IS WITH IMPROVEMENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. AND I WILL SECOND THAT. SECOND BY SEAN. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION. BOARD. IF NOT I'M GOING TO CALL IT. ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSE SAY NAY. MOTION CARRIES. ALL RIGHT ITEM NUMBER TWO DISCUSSION OF ASSISTANCE RELATED TO THE RECENT U.S. SOUTHEAST TORNADOES AND MIDWEST FLOODING DISASTERS. FOR THE SOUTHEAST TORNADOES LAURIE I'M GONNA DEFER TO YOU. YEAH I HAD ORIGINALLY ASKED RIGHT AFTER THE TORNADOES IF IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD DISCUSS. I KNOW BEAUREGARD ALABAMA WAS THE CITY THAT WAS HIT THE MOST WITH THE MOST DEATHS AND DEVASTATION. HOWEVER IT DID HIT THE PANHANDLE AS WELL. SO I DIDN'T KNOW IF WE WOULD CONSIDER HELPING OUT IN SOME WAY THAT WE COULD OR OR IF IF RELIEF EFFORTS ARE STILL GOING ON FOR THAT. I THINK RELIEF EFFORTS ARE STILL GOING ON BUT WHAT WE COULD DO IS DONATE THROUGH RED CROSS OR THAT SORT AND
[00:35:06]
DIRECTLY FROM OUR COMMITTEE TO THE RED CROSS BECAUSE REMEMBER WE WOULD GIVE IT TO AN ORGANIZATION THAT IS HELPING OUT. RIGHT CORRECT. COMMITTEE.I'M SORRY. YES I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. I THINK WE NEED TO JUST COME UP WITH A DOLLAR AMOUNT TO DECIDE ON HOW MUCH WE'RE GOING TO GIVE TO THIS AND I THINK [INAUDIBLE] TO FIGURE OUT WHICH ORGANIZATION WOULD HAVE THE MOST IMPACT OR WHO WE SHOULD MAKE IT PAYABLE TO WHO'S GONNA HAVE THE MOST IMPACT IN THAT AREA FOR THOSE FOLKS. FOR THE MOST PART THE ONE THAT JUMPS OUT TO ME IS THE RED CROSS BECAUSE BETWEEN THE TORNADOES AND THE FLOODING WHICH IS THE ONE I WAS GOING TO DISCUSS BECAUSE THAT IS ALSO ON THE TABLE. I THINK WE COULD BE FAIR TO TO BOTH PARTIES. WE DON'T HAVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS BUT WE HAVE SOMETHING AND SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN ZERO. AND SINCE THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING BY NOW THOSE AREAS HAVE RECEIVED ASSISTANCE. OTHER LOCATIONS WE'RE JUST ADDING ON TO IT SO I COULD SEE DOING FIVE HUNDRED AND FIVE HUNDRED AND GOING WITH THAT FOR NOW UNTIL WE START GETTING OUR OUR WAR CHEST BIGGER SO THAN WE COULD I DON'T WANT TO DISPERSE ALL THE MONEY THAT WE HAVE RIGHT AWAY. SO I THINK 500 AND 500 IS ADEQUATE. AND AND WE COULD FIND OUT WHO THE CONTACT TO THE RED CROSS WHERE WE CAN MAKE OUR DONATION AND THIS WILL BE ALL PART OF WHAT THE SPCA OF BREVARD THAT WE'RE DOING. SO WE TRY TO CONTACT OUR LOCAL RED CROSS. I KNOW THEIR BASED OUT OF ROCKLEDGE SO THAT'S ANOTHER THING THAT WE COULD DO SO. IF THE COMMITTEE IS IN AGREEMENT I'M GONNA NEED A VOTE WITH WHAT I JUST SAID OR YOU COULD JUST SAY. I MAKE A MOTION TO WHAT OUR CHAIRPERSON JUST PRESENTED AS FAR AS DOLLARS DOLLAR AMOUNTS FOR THE TWO DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS FIVE HUNDRED AND FIVE HUNDRED CORRECT? FOR THE TWO DIFFERENT DISASTERS. THE ORGANIZATION IS THE RED CROSS. TWO DIFFERENT DISASTERS EXCUSE ME FOR THE RED CROSS. NEED A SECOND.
SECOND. SECOND BY LAURIE. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION BOARD. SEAN. THE TWO THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS THE ALABAMA TORNADOES AND WHAT WAS THE SECOND. THE MIDWEST FLOODING. MIDWEST FLOODING THANK YOU. I'LL FIND OUT WHERE WE NEED TO GET THAT MONEY TO.
AND. BEFORE WE I KNOW WE'RE GETTING READY TO MOVE ON WITH THAT BUT I. NO NO I'M NOT GOING TO ASK FOR A VOTE YET I WAS GOING TO SAY SOMETHING. OKAY. BUT GO AHEAD GO AHEAD GO AHEAD. I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY SOMETHING THAT I THINK FOR THE FUTURE AS WE KNOW WE KNOW THE FUNDING IS NOT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A YOU KNOW INTERNAL FUNDING. SO WE NEED TO BE CAUTIOUS AND WHAT I MEAN WITH THAT IS THAT I AM ALL FOR INDEFINITELY FOR THE ASSISTANCE. I THINK THE REASON WHY I'M BRINGING THIS UP IS BECAUSE I THINK THAT WHEN WE IDENTIFY AN EVENT WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER AND TALK ABOUT THAT EVENT IN SOME KIND OF WAY BEFORE WE HIT A MEETING BECAUSE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR THERE WILL BE MULTIPLE MULTITUDE OF EVENTS. THEY ARE GOING TO REQUIRE OR ARE GOING TO SUGGEST THAT WE SHOULD BE DONATING TO IT. 14 [INAUDIBLE] DOLLARS IS GOING TO DISAPPEAR VERY VERY FAST IS WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY. SO FOR THE JUST FOR THE EDUCATION OF ALL OF US WHEN SOMEBODY BRINGS SOMETHING UP OF AN EVENT BECAUSE WE ARE DOING SO MANY THINGS HERE AND WE ALL INVOLVE IN SO MANY OTHER THINGS WE MAY NOT BE AS FAMILIAR WITH THIS EVENTS AS WE SHOULD BE. SO FOR THE PURPOSE OF EDUCATION I THINK THAT SOMEHOW WE NEED TO CONNECT TO TO INFORM EVERYBODY THE CONSIDERATION OF AN EVENT BEFORE WE ACTUALLY KNOW THE LAST MINUTE WE DECIDE TO MAKE UP A VOTE AND PLACE MONEY INTO THE DONATION BECAUSE THERE'S JUST TOO MANY EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR IN THE NATION AND THE WORLD WHERE THIS MONEY IS GOING TO GO TO AND IT'S GOING TO DISAPPEAR VERY VERY FAST. SO JUST SOME SUGGESTIONS THAT SOMEBODY SEES SOMETHING. HEY IT'S TIME TO INFORM EVERYBODY. HEY GUYS JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THIS SOMETHING BEFORE WE PUT A FORWARD TO A VOTE.
[00:40:06]
THAT YOU YOU REACHED ITEM THREE WHEN I GET TO ITEM THREE AFTER WE TAKE THIS VOTE BECAUSE ITEM THREE TALKS ABOUT COMMUNICATION. HOW WE COMMUNICATE AS A GROUP AND THE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO BECOME INFORMED RATHER QUICKLY. AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE GOING TO HAVE BEYOND THE MEETINGS THAT WERE ALREADY SENT TO YOUR CALENDAR THERE MAY BE MEETINGS THAT JUST POP UP SPECIAL MEETINGS BECAUSE AN INCIDENT HAPPENED AND WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER TO MAKE A DECISION. AND I THINK THAT THROUGH THAT EMAIL AND I'LL LEAVE THAT DISCUSSION FOR ITEM THREE WE'LL BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THAT. SO WITH WITH THAT I'M GONNA CALL FOR A VOTE. MAYOR. YES. IF I COULD ALSO BEFORE LAURIE ACTUALLY LOOKS INTO THAT TOO THIS HAS TO GO TO THE PBMF FOR APPROVAL BEFORE WE CAN ACTUALLY DO ANYTHING WITH IT.COUNCILMAN. YES YES. SO LET ME SEE HERE. I'M GONNA CALL. ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSED SAY NAY. MOTION CARRIES FOR THE RED CROSS WITH FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS EACH. LIKE ANYTHING ANY DECISIONS WE MAKE HAS TO GO IN FRONT OF THE PALM BAY MUNICIPAL FOUNDATION.
THEY'LL MAKE THE DECISION APPROVE I MEAN THEY'LL APPROVE WHATEVER WE WE PUSH FORWARD AND THEN WE'LL TAKE IT FROM THERE OKAY. THOSE ARE THE DIFFERENT PHOTO OPS TO KIND OF GIVE VISIBILITY TO OUR WEB PAGE AND INTO THE COMMUNITY AS PEOPLE SEE THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY THEN PEOPLE WILL BE MORE KICKING THE MONEY THAT THEY NEED TO KICK IN. JUST TO GIVE. I'M TRYING TO GET MY THOUGHTS TOGETHER THERE. ITEM THREE DISCUSSION OF STAFF COMMUNICATION WITH THE DISTRIBUTION OF INFORMATION TO THE COMMITTEE. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT SAYS THE MOST EFFECTIVE METHOD OF COMMUNICATION FOR STAFF IS THROUGH EMAIL TO ENSURE THE COMMITTEE'S BUSINESS IS CONDUCTED IN A TIMELY FASHION. THE EMAIL ADDRESS YOU PROVIDE TO STAFF SHOULD BE AN EMAIL THAT YOU MONITOR REGULARLY. A COPY OF THE MEMBERSHIP LIST HAS BEEN PROVIDED PROVIDED AT YOUR SEAT. PLEASE VERIFY YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION AND RETURN ANY CHANGES TO TERRY. WITH THAT I SAY IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE A REAL COMMUNICATION YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO KEEP UP WITH YOUR EMAIL AND CHECK AND SEE IF YOU HAVE ANY CORRESPONDENCE COMING FROM THE CITY AND THE CITY NEEDS A RESPONSE RIGHT AWAY. BECAUSE IF WE SENT SEND A I HAVE TERRY SEND AN EMAIL OUT BECAUSE LAURIE OR MYSELF OR YOURSELF OR ANYBODY ON THIS SAYS HEY SOMETHING HAPPEN IN TITUSVILLE AND WE SHOULD COME TOGETHER. WE NEED A RESPONSE RIGHT AWAY SO YOU SHOULD BE CHECKING YOUR EMAIL ON A REGULAR BASIS. REMEMBER YOU'RE PART OF A COMMITTEE NOW. IF BEFORE YOU WEREN'T ACTIVE IN ANYTHING OR YOU NEED TO CHECK YOUR MAIL MORE IN A REGULAR BASIS. OKAY SO THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT ITEM 3 WAS ABOUT HOW YOU COMMUNICATE WITH STAFF AND HOW WE COMMUNICATE WITH OURSELVES. EVERYTHING HAS TO GO THROUGH TERRY BECAUSE OF THE SUNSHINE. NOW OTHER BUSINESS. NUMBER ONE SCHEDULE A DATE FOR COMMITTEE TO DELIVER DONATION TO THE SPCA OF BREVARD. WE WANT TO DO A DATE FOR. LET ME SEE. SAY LOOK AT YOUR FORMS RIGHT NOW. WAITING FOR YOU TO PICK A DATE MAYOR. LET US KNOW WHAT YOU'D LIKE. WE KNOW YOUR SCHEDULE IS VERY COMPRESSED. FOR ME MAY WOULD BE THE BEST ONE BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN. BY THAT TIME WE SHOULD HAVE EVERYTHING ELSE MAYBE WE COULD KILL ONE BIRD ONE STONE. WOULD THIS BE AN EVENING THING IN MAY? BECAUSE I KNOW THEY'RE OPEN ON SATURDAYS SO MAYBE ON SATURDAYS IN MAY IN
[00:45:02]
MID-MAY WE COULD GO AND DELIVER.THE WAY THEY JUST GOT DAMAGED WITH HAIL. OH RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT. THEY HAD THAT ISSUE. SO. WELL THAN THAN TRYING TO COORDINATE ON THEIR SCHEDULE THERE'S FIVE PEOPLE HERE TRYING TO COORDINATE THEIR OWN SCHEDULE. WHY DON'T WE LOOK AT SOME DAYS IN MAY THAT WE CAN OFFER TO THEM TO SEE IF IT WORKS FOR THEM ANY OF THEM BECAUSE WE ALL HERE NOW WE CAN LOOK AT OUR CALENDARS AND FIGURE OUT WHERE ON ABOUT CAN WE BE AVAILABLE AND THEY OFFER THEM SOME DATES RATHER THAN SAY IT'LL COME BACK TO US LATER ON. OKAY LET'S SEE MAY. 11TH WORKS FOR ME. THE 18 WORKS FOR ME AND HE 25TH WORKS. WELL LET ME TELL YOU ON THE 11TH THEY HAVE THEIR NINTH ANNUAL TITUSVILLE SEA TURTLE FESTIVAL GOING ON THERE IN TITUSVILLE BY THE WAY AS WELL. JUST A FYI. WE JUST GIVE THOSE DATES AND TAKE IT FROM THERE. ACTUALLY THE FESTIVAL WOULD BE A GOOD.
OPPORTUNITY. OPPORTUNITY. EXACTLY. ABSOLUTELY. GET AWARENESS GOING. I THINK THAT.
FLYERS. EXACTLY I THINK THAT WOULD BE GREAT. MAYBE WE CAN TALK TO THE CITY OF TITUSVILLE AND SEE IF THEY WOULD ALLOW US OR WHOEVER. I'M TRYING TO THINK ABOUT WHO IS DOING THIS EVENT. THE NINTH ANNUAL TITUSVILLE SEA TURTLE FESTIVAL IS WHAT IT IS. YEAH IF IT'S TITUSVILLE IS DOING SOMETHING WE WANT TO DEAL DIRECTLY WITH THE CITY OF TITUSVILLE BECAUSE THEN YOU'RE INFRINGING ON THE MUNICIPALITY BECAUSE THAT'S THEIR EVENT.
YEAH. BUT SPEAK WITH THEM [INAUDIBLE]. JUST I THINK THE 11TH, 18TH, 25TH SEE WHICH DAY WORKS FOR THEM OKAY. SOUNDS GREAT. PERFECT NOW. MOVING ON OUR NEXT MEETING OUR NEXT REGULAR MEETING IS GOING TO BE SCHEDULED FOR JUNE 17TH. MONDAY JUNE 17TH AT 6:30 EVERYBODY WAS SENT THAT. DO YOU HAVE ANY CONFLICTS. EVERYBODY'S GOOD WITH THAT DATE.
OKAY. ANYTHING TO ADD ON THE AUDIENCE. YOU'RE GOOD. OH OKAY. YOU WALKED IN SO I DIDN'T KNOW WHETHER YOU WANTED TO SAY SOMETHING. SHE'S A GUEST I INVITED HER HERE. OH YOU INVITED HER. YES.
OKAY. SO WITH THAT I THINK. ACTUALLY MAYOR I THINK YOU NEED ON THE HANDOUT FOR THE QUESTIONS. IT'S QUESTIONS THAT STAFF HAD FOR THE DRC. ON WHICH ONE? IT'S MARKED HAND OUT TWO. OH OKAY. THE STAFF HAD SOME QUESTIONS THAT THEY WANTED MAY BE ADDRESSED BY THE DRC IF YOU COULD LOOK THOSE OVER. THIS ONE. YES. OUR COURSE IS SELECTED OUR DISBURSEMENTS DETERMINE HOW DOES THE DRC DEFINE A DISASTER. THE DRC [INAUDIBLE] BECOME THE PERMANENT RECIPIENT OF THE MAYOR'S BALL PROCEEDS.
I'LL LEAVE THAT FOR THE NEXT MAYOR BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT'S THERE'S ONE MORE MAYOR'S BALL AND THAT WAS DETERMINED ALREADY. DRC PBMF. OKAY RIGHT IN ON UNITED WAY FORM [INAUDIBLE] RIGHT. THAT COULD BE. THAT WAS ONE OF THE WAY TO GET EMPLOYEES TO DONATE TO THE DRC THROUGH THE UNITED WAY. SAME THING AS UNITED WAY. IF A DONATION IS BEING MADE BY THE DRC WITH REQUEST FUNDS GO TOWARDS A SPECIFIC CAUSE WITH THE DRC FOR IT TO BE HANDLED.
[00:50:46]
BECAUSE I THINK THE CONCERN IS IF THE WEBSITE DOES GO LIVE AND MAYBE THEY'RE GETTING QUESTIONS THEY WOULD BE BETTER EQUIPPED TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS FOR RESIDENTS THAT MAY CALL IN OR HAVE QUESTIONS. WHEN IT COMES TO THE OUR COURSES [INAUDIBLE]. I GUESS WE DEFINED THEM AS NATIONAL LOCAL. [INAUDIBLE] IS INTERESTING.OKAY HOW COURSES ELECTED. RIGHT BECAUSE I ACTUALLY HAD A QUICK QUESTION NOW THAT I'M READING THESE. FOR EXAMPLE WOULD WE CONSIDER WHAT HAPPENED IN NEW ZEALAND AS A DISASTER. YES. I'M GOING TO READ THE THERE'S MANY DEFINITIONS MANY DEFINITIONS OF DISASTERS. I'M GOING TO READ ONE GENERAL DEFINITION THAT FOR THE MOST PART I'VE NOTICED THAT MOST ORGANIZATIONS ARE USING. A DISASTER IS A SUDDEN CALAMITOUS EVENT THAT SERIOUSLY DISRUPTS THE FUNCTIONING OF A COMMUNITY OR SOCIETY AND CAUSES HUMAN, MATERIAL, AND ECONOMIC OR ENVIRONMENTAL LOSSES THAT EXCEEDS THE COMMUNITY OR THE SOCIETY'S ABILITY TO COPE USING ITS OWN RESOURCES THAT OFTEN CAUSED BY NATURE.
DISASTERS CAN HAVE A HUMAN ORIGIN. BASED ON THAT DISASTER COULD BE ANYTHING THAT EXCEEDS THE CAPABILITY AT THE THE CAPABILITY OF THE COMMUNITY AND IT CAUSES LOSS OF LIFE AND DAMAGE TO YOU KNOW COULD BE LOSSES OF HOMES OR MATERIAL OR EVEN A MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE ENVIRONMENT. SO THERE COULD BE MANY MANY REASONS WHY THIS AREAS OR EVENTS COULD BE CALLED IT DISASTER AND THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT EACH ONE OF THEM INDIVIDUALLY FOR WHAT THEY ARE. AND THE DISBURSEMENTS COULD BE DETERMINED IF LIKE CERTAIN EVENTS THAT WE KNOW ARE ALREADY HAVE RECEIVED PROCEEDS.
REMEMBER WE JUST STARTED. SO IT'S HARD TO DEFINE IT RIGHT NOW. IF WE LOOK WE LOOK WE WE'RE GOING TO GIVE MONEY TO HURRICANE HARVEY OR WE'RE GOING TO GIVE. I MEAN THESE THINGS HAPPENED TWO YEARS AGO THIS IS THE PRESENT TIME. THE REALITY IS THAT THE QUESTIONS REALLY GOING TO COME FROM JUNE 1ST ON. THAT'S WHAT WE WE'RE REALLY DEALING WITH AND THOSE ARE THE CAUSES THAT ARE GOING TO DETERMINE ON HOW WE MOVE FORWARD AND HOW WE SELECT. THIS IS A NEW A NEW COMMITTEE. THE PROCEEDS WE JUST GOT.
THE PROCEEDS FROM THE MAYOR'S BALL AND THIS IS ACTUALLY THE FIRST TIME THAT WE'RE GOING TO ACTUALLY BE DISPERSING BECAUSE WE HAVE THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY BEFORE WE WERE UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY TO DO ANYTHING. SO IF IF. THAT'S NOT ENTIRELY TRUE MONEY WE DID HAVE WE GAVE TO THE SPCA. WE WE.
YES. PRIOR TO HAVING THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE. WE COULDN'T GIVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT. WE HAD TO BE FRUGAL ABOUT WHAT WE WERE HANDING OUT. BUT NOW WE COULD BE A LITTLE BIT MORE GENEROUS LET'S SAY. BUT THE REALITY IS WE'RE LEARNING AS WE GO AND I KNOW STAFF FROM STAFF PERSPECTIVE THEY WANT TO HAVE ALL THE AVAILABILITY OF ALL THE ANSWERS BUT WE'RE LEARNING AS WE GO TOO. SO WE DON'T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS FOR STAFF AT THIS TIME BECAUSE THERE'S GOING TO BE CHANGES. ONE YEAR WE COULD SAY OH WE COULD BE LAVISH AND GIVE OUT A TON OF MONEY AND THEN ANOTHER YEAR WE HAVE TO PULL BACK A LITTLE BIT. WE HAVEN'T HAD THOSE LESSONS YET. SO I THINK WE'RE GOING TO THIS IS GOING TO BE A TRIAL AND ERROR IN REGARDS TO WHAT STAFF COULD SAY RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THIS IS NEW AND WE'RE GOING TO LEARN AS WE GO. THAT WOULD BE MY ANSWER TO STAFF AT THIS TIME. WE DON'T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS AT THIS TIME BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T FACED
[00:55:03]
ANYTHING YET. I THINK EVENTUALLY WE'LL HAVE A SET OF GUIDELINES THAT WE GO BY EVERY TIME SOMETHING HAPPENS LIKE DOES THIS MEET THIS CRITERIA. AND IF IT DOES HOW MUCH.WHAT DETERMINES HOW MUCH WE'RE GOING TO. IT MAY BE DETERMINED LIKE THIS TIME AROUND FOR THE FOR THE FLOODS AND FOR THE TORNADOES WE'RE ABLE TO GIVE 500 DOLLARS BECAUSE WE HAVE THE MONEY TO BE ABLE TO. BUT WHAT HAPPENS IF WE HAVE TWO YEARS FROM NOW A TORNADO BUT WE DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS TO GIVE OUT 500 DOLLARS BUT WE'LL STILL MEET AND WE MIGHT DISPERSE ONE HUNDRED. SO HOW DO YOU DETERMINE ACCORDING TO THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WE HAVE IN OUR ACCOUNT. SO SO IT ALL DEPENDS. BUT THAT'S ALL PART OF WHAT WE NEED TO DO IN THE COMMUNITY IN ORDER FOR THE COMMUNITY TO GIVE TO THIS COMMITTEE TO BE ABLE TO DISPERSE FUNDS. IT'S MESSAGING AT THE END OF THE DAY THE MARKETING THAT WE DO IN ORDER TO COLLECT FUNDS. YES. MR. MAYOR I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT THAT THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO BEGIN THE PROCESS OF ESTABLISHING A STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURES FOR THIS FOR THIS COMMITTEE. SO AS WE LEARN IN WHAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS THAT WE IDENTIFY ALL THIS THINGS. IT IS A LEARNING PROCESS BUT IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME IT HAS DONE IN THE WORLD.
SO WE NEED TO FIGURED IT OUT WHAT ARE THOSE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE TO IDENTIFY THE PARAMETERS OF THE DISASTER THE PARAMETERS SO YOU KNOW HOW FAST WILL WE COME TOGETHER HOW FAR BACK DO WE GO HOW FAST FORWARD WE GO WHEN DO WE COME TO GET ALL THOSE THINGS I THINK WE CAN IDENTIFY SOME OF THEM AT LEAST THE BASIC PARAMETERS SO WE CAN NOT ONLY KNOW WITHIN OURSELVES TO BE EDUCATED BUT ALSO THAT WE CAN PROVIDE TO THE PUBLIC. SO AS THEY COME. SO FOR EXAMPLE TO COME TO THE CITY HALL AND THEY WANT TO DONATE WE NEED TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT THEY CAN LOOK AT AND SAYS OKAY GOT IT. THAT'S HOW THEY WILL THEY USE MY FUNDS. MAKES SENSE. SO THIS IS JUST AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO BRING THEM TOGETHER. SO I THINK AS WE GO FORWARD WE NEED TO IDENTIFY THESE THINGS AND START DEVELOPING THIS PRODUCT FOR THE FUTURE FOR THE FOR THE ONES THAT GONNA COME AFTER US. DEFINITELY GONNA BE MUCH MORE AFTER US.
RIGHT. THAT'S WHY THE PRESS RELEASES THE PICTURES THAT WE'RE GOING TO TAKE WITH WITH THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT WERE GIVING MONEY TO MAKES A BIG DEAL BECAUSE THEN PEOPLE KNOW THAT IT'S NOT A SHAM IT'S NOT LIKE THE CITY THE CITY IS GOING TO BE INVOLVED IN SHAM BUT YOU NEVER KNOW PEOPLE THINK THAT SOME CITIES ARE NOT TRANSPARENT SO AT THE END OF THE DAY IT'S IS UTILIZING THE INFORMATION THAT YOU HAVE BUT THAT INFORMATION IS NOT GOING TO GROW UNTIL. FOR ME BASICALLY JUNE 1ST AND ON OR THIS MOMENT ON TODAY THAT WE MADE A DECISION. WHAT WAS DECISION BASED ON BECAUSE THERE WAS AN EVENT AND IT MET THE CRITERIA OF EITHER BEING LOCAL, STATE,NATIONAL, OR INTERNATIONAL INCIDENT THAT MADE THE DISCOURSE HAPPEN. SO AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE CHOOSING TO DONATE BUT THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO ADD ANYTHING ELSE FROM EVERYONE ELSE. I DO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT AS A WHOLE WE DO REMAIN VIGILANT AND FOCUSED ON OUR LOCAL RESIDENTS AS WELL AS OUR COUNTY ISSUES. OKAY AND ALTHOUGH WE WANT TO BE GENEROUS TO ALL I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT WE ARE A LOCAL ENTITY THAT HAS ISSUES OKAY WITH REGARD TO HURRICANES AND OTHER EVENTS THAT ARE UNSCHEDULED UNPLANNED UN OKAY. THE UN IS THE ISSUE HERE OKAY. THE UN THAT WE DON'T KNOW RIGHT. SO I THINK THE QUESTIONS HERE AND LOOKING AT THEM THAT WAS WHAT I GOT FROM THAT WAS THE CONCERN THAT WE ARE MAYBE NOT NECESSARILY FOCUSED ON OUR LOCAL FOLKS IN NEEDS OKAY. AND MAYBE THAT IS SOMETHING WE NEED TO BE VERY CLEAR ABOUT THAT IN OUR MESSAGING. PRIORITY IS LET'S SAY THE COUNTY IF THE COUNTY FACES SOMETHING.
WHEN YOU SAY LOCAL. DO I NEED [INAUDIBLE] IDENTIFICATION EVERYTHING. PLEASE. AARON PARR 1360 KANAB AVENUE NW PALM BAY. I'M JUST LISTENING HERE AND I'M JUST. A COUPLE THOUGHTS I LOOK UP HERE AND I SEE PALM BAY MUNICIPAL FOUNDATION DISASTER RELIEF COMMITTEE EXECUTIVE BOARD. I THINK IT IS GREAT IDEA A GREAT CONCEPT TRYING TO
[01:00:02]
HELP ALL AREAS WHETHER IT'S LOCAL, COUNTY, REGIONAL, NATIONAL, INTERNATIONAL AMAZING IDEA. IF I'M HERE RESIDENT IN PALM BAY AND I DON'T MEAN DARE SOUND INSENSITIVE IF I'M WANTING TO HELP A CAUSE WHERE MY MOTHER LIVES IN KNOXVILLE TENNESSEE THAT HAD DRASTIC FLOODING LAST MONTH I WOULD DONATE TO THEM. IF I'M DONATING TO A CAUSE THAT'S ORIGINATED HERE [INAUDIBLE] EXPECT THOSE FUNDINGS TO SERVE HERE IN PALM BAY JUST MY PERSONAL THOUGHT AND I DON'T MEAN TO SOUND INSENSITIVE. I WOULD DONATE TO THAT CAUSE IN THAT AREA TO THAT RED CROSS. I'D PICK UP THE PHONE. AS THEY DO THOSE TELETHONS ALL THE TIME ON TELEVISION AND THINGS. THAT'S JUST MY INITIAL THOUGHT WHEN I'M HEARING THAT. ANOTHER THING BEING I DEAL WITH A LOT OF FUNDRAISING AND THINGS AT BAYSIDE HIGH SCHOOL. THERE MIGHT WHEN I TALK TO CORPORATIONS AND BUSINESSES ABOUT CONTRIBUTIONS THEY ALWAYS HAVE THEIR ANNUAL LIMITS. IF IT'S GOING TO BE A CONSIDERATION FOR THIS BOARD TO LOOK AT WHETHER WE'RE GOING TO HELP LOCALLY, COUNTY, NATIONALLY, SHOULD THERE BE A LIMIT FOR A NATIONAL REQUEST SHOULD THERE BE A LIMIT PER LOCAL REQUEST. AND THAT WILL ALSO HELP PROTECT YOUR DOLLARS AND MAKE THEM LAST LONGER AS WELL TO WHERE EVEN IF THERE IS THAT CERTAIN LITTLE THING THAT COMES UP. WELL WE HAVE THIS LIMIT THAT WE HAVE SET ASIDE FOR THIS THING. YEAH WE CAN DO THAT. JUST A COUPLE OF THOUGHTS I WAS THINKING AS I LISTENED. THAT'S A GOOD IDEA. I THINK THAT'S OUTSTANDING BECAUSE THEN WE CAN BE AN EVEN HAND FOR ALL IF WE DO ESTABLISH THESE TYPES OF LIMITS. AND I DO AGREE WITH THAT. I THINK I AGREE. AND THEN THERE'S NO IDEA NO PERCEPTION OF FAVORITISM OR ANYTHING.LIKE CRITERIA THAT MAKES THAT HOW DO WE DETERMINE DISBURSEMENT. BY THIS CRITERIA IF IT'S A TORNADO IF IT'S THIS IF IT' THAT I'M JUST GIVING EXAMPLES. BUT IF YOU COULD DETERMINE WHAT THE AMOUNT OF MONEY YOU CAN GIVE SO IT MAKES YOUR MONEY LAST A LOT LONGER. SO THAT WAY IT'D BE A SMART THING TO DO. SO WE'VE ALREADY BEGAN THIS TO SET A PRECEDENT WITH THE ONE THE 500 AND THE 500 FOR EACH OF THOSE DISASTERS.
I WASN'T GONNA SAY THAT FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS SEEMS TO BE OUR GENERAL LIKE POINT OKAY. BUT IT SEEMS TO BE A TREND WE'RE GOING TOWARDS. BUT PERSONALLY I THINK THAT THE THINGS THAT ARE OCCURRING OUTSIDE OF OUR COUNTY AND MORE IMPORTANTLY OUTSIDE OF OUR CITY LIMITS OKAY DO YOU NEED TO BE IDENTIFIED VERY SPECIFICALLY AND I THINK WE AS A CITY DO NEED TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT OUR LOCAL RESIDENTS AND THE NEEDS THAT WE HAVE HERE LOCALLY. PERFECT DULY NOTED. ANOTHER QUESTION REAL QUICK. FOR OUR LOCALS IS THERE ANY WAY THAT THEY CAN SIT UP THERE AND ASK OR LET US KNOW ABOUT MAYBE DISASTERS THAT HAVE HIT US HERE IN PALM BAY FOR EXAMPLE I KNOW I USED TO LIVE IN THE SOUTHWEST AREA AND OF COURSE WITH SCATTERED LOTS THINGS OF THAT NATURE FOR LIGHTNING STRIKES. BOOM YOU KNOW IN THE FIELD NEXT TO ME AND MAYBE IT ONLY CATCHES MY HOUSE AND MAYBE SOMEONE ELSE'S BUT TO US THAT'S CONSIDERED A DISASTER. NO I UNDERSTAND BUT WE WE EARLY ON SAID THAT WE ARE NOT BEGUN GIVING TO INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE. WE'LL BE GIVING IT TO ORGANIZATIONS. SO WE WOULD REFER THEM TO. RIGHT THAT'S THE THAT'S THE WHOLE THING. BECAUSE INDIVIDUALLY ANYBODY COULD COME HERE AND FOR THE TERM NOT TO BE OFFENSIVE CRY WOLF OKAY. AND HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT THAT PERSON REALLY ONCE YOU HAND OUT THE CHECK YOU HANDED OUT THE CHECK AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT PERSON IS GOING TO DO WITH THAT MONEY OKAY. SO WE WANTED TO STAY AWAY FROM THAT. SO OUR GOAL IS THAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS LOCALLY THAT IS REALLY MASSIVE NOT INDIVIDUALLY MASSIVE.
THIS IS FOR THAT MASSIVE THING BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH HURRICANES IN THIS AREA AND WE KNOW THAT THERE'S PLENTY OF ORGANIZATIONS OR CHURCHES THAT ARE IN NEED OF HELP. AND AND YOU KNOW THAT THEY'RE THAT YOU BASICALLY WANT TO HAND MONEY TO PEOPLE THAT YOU CAN HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE. INDIVIDUAL PERSONS YOU CAN HOLD ACCOUNTABLE AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THEIR INTENTIONS ARE. BECAUSE IF NOT WE'RE GOING
[01:05:01]
TO HAVE EVERYBODY COME IN HERE DOING THIS A HANDOUT. SO THAT'S WHY WE AS A COMMITTEE BEFORE YOU CAME ON SEAN DETERMINED THAT IS BEST TO STAY OUT OF THE BUSINESS OF INDIVIDUALITY BECAUSE THAT COULD DRAW A LOT OF PROBLEMS. UNDERSTOOD BUT ARE THERE CERTAIN LARGE ORGANIZATIONS THOUGH THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE RIGHT NOW TODAY THAT WE'RE LIKE OKAY WE NORMALLY ALWAYS GIVE TO THE RED CROSS OR WE ARE ALWAYS GIVING TO THE UNITED WAY. NO WE HAVEN'T. REMEMBER THIS IS YOU'RE A NEWBIE TO THIS AS WE ARE. THIS IS ALL PART OF THE GROWING PAIN AND LEARNING PAIN THAT WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH. WE HAVEN'T PREDETERMINE ANYTHING YET THAT WE'RE BASICALLY WE'RE IN THIS STAGE STILL OF INFORMING THE COMMUNITY THAT WE'RE HERE, SEEKING DONATIONS, AND CREATING THE WEB PAGE. WE'VE BEEN CAUGHT UP IN THAT WORLD.THE CHECK THAT YOU SAW THAT YOU RECEIVED TODAY WAS BECAUSE I DECIDED THAT THIS YEAR'S PROCEEDS WILL GO TO THIS ORGANIZATION SO THEY COULD ACTUALLY GET OFF THE GROUND MONETARILY BUT EVERYTHING ELSE HAS BEEN ABOUT BUILDING THE ORGANIZATION BUILDING THIS COMMITTEE. SO THEN IT COULD FUNCTION BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T WE ARE JUST GETTING READY TO GET OFF THE GROUND AS YOU SAW WE ARE APPROVING A WEB PAGE STILL TALKING ABOUT MARKETING. SO WE ARE NOT FULLY WE'RE NOT A FULL GROWN CHILD YET WE'RE A BABY. WELL THANK YOU. OKAY GO AHEAD. IT WON'T HURT US TOO BAD.
SUGGESTION NUMBER TWO WOULD BE TO FOR THE COMMITTEE FOR NEXT MEETING OR FOR YOUR NEXT AGENDA TO CONSIDER WHAT 5013CS YOU WOULD LIKE TO DONATE TO AND GIVE US SOME CRITERIA FOR THAT DONATION SO THAT YOU JUST PICK FROM THE LIST AND IN YOUR HOMEWORK YOU MAY WANT TO LOOK AT THE OVERHEAD OF SAID ORGANIZATIONS OF WHAT THEIR FINANCIAL SITUATION IS AND HOW MUCH THEY RETAIN FOR ADMINISTRATION VERSUS HOW MUCH THEY ACTUALLY GIVE TO AN ORGANIZATION BEFORE YOU DECIDE. AND THAT DOES TAKE SOME ANALYSIS. THERE ARE GREAT TOOLS FOR THAT AND I CAN OFFER THOSE VIA EMAILS SO THAT YOU CAN CONSIDER THOSE OR YOUR. PLEASE. THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL I THINK BECAUSE I I TOO WOULD I'D LIKE THIS MONEY TO GO MY BACKYARD. BUT YOU REALLY JUST CAN'T GIVE TO AN INDIVIDUAL BUT WE HAD YOU KNOW IF SOMEONE LOSES THEIR HOME TO A FIRE LET'S JUST SAY. BUT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WE KNOW ABOUT THE DISASTER THE RED CROSS IS PROBABLY THE FIRST PEOPLE THAT ARE GONNA BE ON THE SCENE SO THAT YOU MAY WANT TO YOU KNOW CONVENE A SPECIAL MEETING AND SAY YES WE WANT TO DONATE SOMETHING TO THAT BUT THAT YOU WANT TO PREDEFINE YOUR CRITERIA OF MAYBE FOUR TYPES AS MR. PARR MENTIONED CRITERIA FOR YOUR NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS AND YOUR LEVELS OF COMMITMENT AND THRESHOLDS SO YOU'RE NOT PAINED EACH TIME. PAIN I LIKE THAT. PERHAPS IT WOULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THIS COMMITTEE TO ACTUALLY MAYBE GET WITH THE FOLKS HERE LOCALLY FOR THESE DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS SO WE ACTUALLY DO IDENTIFY THAT WE WANT TO BE INVOLVED WITH SO THAT WE CAN DISCUSS HOW WE ARE TO MOVE FORWARD AND HOW THEY DO THEIR BUSINESS SO WE HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING. THAT WAS THAT WAS THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE MEETING TODAY TO GET PEOPLE FROM THE COMMUNITY TO COME. SO THEN WE COULD GET INTO THAT DIALOGUE BUT AS YOU SEE THEY DIDN'T SHOW UP. WELL WE HAVE SOME FOLKS HERE PLEASE OKAY. LET'S NOT DISRESPECT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE OKAY. THANK YOU PEOPLE WHO HAVE COME OKAY. NOT BEING DISRESPECTFUL THE PEOPLE THAT THAT THAT WE DID PUT OUT FOR COMMUNITY LEADERS TO BE HERE AND I THINK THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD PLATFORM FOR THOSE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS THAT WE COULD HAVE GONE BACK AND AND THEY WOULD HELP US AS A COMMITTEE TO BETTER PLAN JUST LIKE ANYTHING.
GROWING PAINS. THANK YOU AARON. THANK YOU [INAUDIBLE]. THANK YOU YVONNE. THANK YOU LISA FOR COMING OUT HERE AND SUPPORTING US AND WE APPRECIATE ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK ESPECIALLY GIVEN THAT YOU'RE DOING THIS ON YOUR OWN TIME. WITH THAT ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD. MAYBE FOR THE NEXT MEETING WE SHOULD THINK ABOUT SENDING SOMETHING BACK OUT TO OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY PEOPLE AND LET THEM KNOW THAT HEY THE DISASTER BOARD IS HERE AND WE ARE BRINGING UP TOPICS FOR HURRICANE PREP AND USE THAT AS A WAY TO ATTRACT THEM. OKAY DAWN. SO THE FOLKS THAT WE ARE ACTUALLY LOOKING TO TARGET TO GIVE OUR MONEY I'M
[01:10:03]
SURE HAVE A WHOLE ENTOURAGE OF FOLKS WHO ARE BUSINESSES AND SO FORTH AND I WOULD USE THEM TO LEGITIMIZE THIS. AND ENCOURAGE THE FOLKS TO COME OUT HERE AND THE BUSINESSES SINCE AT THE END OF THE DAY THEY ALSO ARE GOING TO BENEFIT. I MEAN UNITED WAY HAS HARRIS AND A WHOLE GROUP OF BUSINESSES. I THINK IT WOULD BE IMPORTANT TO TALK TO THE RED CROSS AND THE UNITED WAY AND MAYBE HAVE THEM COME OUT AND INVITE THEIR PEEPS TO COME OUT BECAUSE THAT'S THE WAY TO BRING IT OUT. OKAY. AND THERE IS A HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS THING UP IN MELBOURNE. I'M NOT SURE OF THE DATES BUT OBVIOUSLY BEFORE HURRICANE SEASON. WE DO ONE TOO. THAT SHOULD BE COMING UP.OKAY ALL RIGHT. OKAY. I'LL STAND ON THAT ONE. I BELIEVE THAT THE COUNTY WAS LOOKING AT DOING A COLLABORATIVE ONE BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT MUNICIPALITIES. BUT I HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THAT YET. SO AGAIN I THINK EVEN THE CHIEF OF POLICE AND OUR FIRE CHIEF SHOULD BE INVOLVED WITH ALL THIS WITH US AS WELL AS THIS IS INDIRECTLY AFFECTS THEM IN SOME CAPACITY AS PEOPLE ARE AFFECTED THROUGH ISSUES THESE FOLKS ARE THE FOLKS THAT ARE OUT THERE HELPING TOO. YES. NO. I GUESS WE COULD SEND OUT AN INVITATION FOR OUR NEXT JUNE MEETING AND DO ALL THE SUGGESTIONS THEY WERE PRESENTED TO US BY MR. PARR AND BY OUR CITY MANAGER. I THINK THOSE ITEMS COULD BE ADDED TO OUR AGENDA AND AND WE COULD TAKE IT FROM THERE. AND THEN WE WOULD HAVE SOME OF THE MARKETING DISCUSSIONS AND AND THINGS LIKE THAT AND I THINK THAT WE'RE IN A GOOD PLACE MOVING FORWARD. ANY OTHER THING FOR THE GOOD OF THE ORDER. IF WE COME TO CONSENSUS OF EXACTLY WHO WE'D LIKE TO HAVE AT THE NEXT MEETING I CAN SEND OUT A PRESS RELEASE ON BEHALF OF THE CITY TO ADVERTISE THE MEETING. OKAY. THAT'S PERFECT. YES I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE THE BREVARD COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT WHICH PROBABLY HAS THE MOST DIRECT KNOWLEDGE OF EVERY CITY IN THE IN THE IN BREVARD COUNTY WHEN THEY'RE DOING THEIR EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS FOR THE YEAR. I THINK THAT WILL BE A GOOD CUSTOMER.
ANYTHING ELSE. I THINK WE SHOULD FOCUS ON AN INVITING LIKE THE UNITED WAY AND THE RED CROSS AND THOSE FOLKS THAT WE ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE BENEFITING WITH THE FUNDS TO SERVICE OUR COMMUNITY AND THOSE GROUPS LIKE NEED TO COME OUT AND WE NEED TO TALK TO THEM. OKAY [INAUDIBLE]. YEAH TRUE. BECAUSE HE JUST RECEIVED THE AWARD FROM THE MAYOR'S BALL. SO THE OTHER THING I JUST HAD SOMETHING IN MIND AND IT'S LIKE LISTENING AND IT WENT BUT IT'LL COME TO ME AND I'LL EDIT INTO THE AGENDA ONCE MY BRAIN FUNCTIONS AGAIN BUT WITH THAT I WANT TO THANK ALL THE BODIES THAT SHOWED UP.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT. [APPLAUSE]. THEY SAY SOMETIMES YOU KNOW YOU'RE EXPECTING A LARGE CROWD BUT YOU GET MORE OUT OF A SMALL CROWD. SO IT'S QUALITY NOT QUANTITY I OPT.
THAT'S IT. WITH THAT MEETING ADJOURNED.
