BUT I REALLY WANTED TO CONGRATULATE YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP IN IN GETTING SOMETHING STARTED HERE THAT SOME OF THE OTHER CITIES ARE A LITTLE LAGGING BEHIND.
SO WE NEED TO SHOW THEM HOW TO DO IT.
GETTING YOUR YOUR QUICK CONNECT PROGRAM FOR, FOR SEPTIC AND POTABLE WATER WAS GREAT.
I MEAN, THAT THAT TOOK SOME GUMPTION AND TOOK TOOK EVERYBODY COORDINATING TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.
THAT'S A STAR, YOU KNOW, IN MY BOOK TO GET THAT ACCOMPLISHED.
IT'S IT'S A LITTLE BIT, BUT IT'S A START IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
SO I JUST WANT TO CONGRATULATE YOU FOR THAT.
I'M REALLY DOING IT TO HELP YOU GUYS GET GET THE MESSAGE OUT THERE.
SO WE WANT TO TAKE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO, TO SAY THE RIGHT THINGS.
BUT MAINLY SO OUR BIG MISSION THIS YEAR IS TO TRY TO GET THE SALES TAX RENEWED FOR THE SAVE OUR INDIAN RIVER LAGOON PROGRAM. IT HASN'T HAPPENED YET.
UNFORTUNATELY, WE WON'T HAVE THE LAGOON ALL CLEANED UP BY THEN.
SO JUST JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, THAT'S KIND OF MY REFERENCE FRAME, AND I'LL BE GLAD TO YOU KNOW, TALK WITH YOU AFTER THE MEETING OR WHENEVER TO TRY TO COORDINATE AS BEST I CAN, MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE FAIR GOES OFF WELL.
SO THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TONIGHT.

AND I THINK THE SALES TAX WAS A BIG HIT WITH THE COUNTY.
SO GLAD TO SEE YOU WORKING ON THAT AGAIN TO MAKE SURE THE LAGOON GETS CLEANER.
AND, NO, I DON'T THINK IT'LL BE FIXED BY 26, 28.
WOULD ANYONE ELSE LIKE PUBLIC COMMENT? OKAY. MY NAME IS MARK GORDON.
LAST MONTH WE CAME AND TALKED TO YOU ABOUT THE LOCHMOOR COMMUNITY GARDEN.
WE TALKED ABOUT PUTTING SOME SIGNS UP, PARKING SIGNS IN IT THE NEXT DAY.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS YOUR DOING, BUT THERE THEY WERE OUT THERE.
THOSE SIGNS WERE UP AND TAKEN CARE OF.
I MEAN, IT WAS IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE.
AND APPRECIATE EVERYBODY COMING OUT THE OTHER DAY AND LOOKING AT THE, THE AREA I THINK THEY DECIDED THEY WANT TO CLEAN UP ALL THE MAN MADE STRUCTURES AND GET IT CLEANED OUT SO NOBODY GETS HURT. SO A COUPLE OF THE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY, THERE'S A PERGOLA AS YOU WALK IN THAT THE BOY SCOUT GROUPS HAVE PUT IN A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, IT SEEMS PRETTY
[00:05:03]
SOLID. IT SEEMS PRETTY NICE IF THAT COULD BE LEFT AS LIKE AN ENTRANCE INTO THE AREA.I DON'T KNOW IF IT CAN BE OR WHATEVER, BUT YOU KNOW, THAT WOULD BE NICE.
SO AGAIN, I APPRECIATE YOU ALL REACTING SO QUICK.
AGAIN, HIS CREW IS JUST PHENOMENAL.
AND IT LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE HAVING A SCHOOL WAS LETTING OUT OVER THERE AT THE IN THE AREA BECAUSE THERE WERE SO MANY CARS PARKED OUT THERE THE OTHER DAY WHEN WE CAME TO LOOK AT THE THE PARK.
SO I APPRECIATE YOU ALL DOING ALL THAT.
AND YOU KNOW, IF ANYTHING ELSE COMES UP, WE'D LOVE TO KNOW ABOUT IT SO WE CAN GET THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER AND SEE, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING ELSE WE CAN DO WITH IT AND KEEP THAT AREA UP. SO APPRECIATE IT.
THANK YOU. I JUST WANT TO SAY REALLY QUICKLY, THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT AND SPENDING YOUR TIME TO COME OUT TONIGHT, BECAUSE WE RARELY GET TO HEAR THE POSITIVE, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW WHAT OUR CITIES, OUR PUBLIC WORKS ARE, OUR PARKS AND RECREATION IS ABLE TO DO.
SO. THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT BECAUSE I THINK IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO CELEBRATE WINS.
AND YOU KNOW, THEY HEAR THE POSITIVE.
AND YOU DON'T READ ABOUT THAT IN THE PAPERS.
YOU DON'T READ ABOUT THAT ON THE NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR POSTS AND ALL THAT OTHER STUFF.
YES. THANK YOU. AND YES, STAFF SEEMS LIKE STAFF DEFINITELY GOT TO WORK QUICKLY.
AND SEEING THE COMMUNITY SUPPORT THAT Y'ALL BROUGHT AND POSITIVE FEEDBACK NOT NEGATIVITY.
I THINK DEFINITELY GETS EVERYONE TO WORK TOGETHER FOR IT.
[OTHER BUSINESS]
ALL RIGHT, SO WE'LL GO INTO OTHER BUSINESS.FIRST UP IS HARDING LANE POND BASIN 13 POND UPDATE.
I WAS, I WAS OUT THERE MONDAY.
WE GOT CREWS WERE ABLE TO GET THE FINGER WEED WHACKED AND COVERED.
TO START GETTING IT PREPPED AND READY FOR THE 20TH.
I'M PLACING THAT ORDER ON APRIL 8TH.
THEN ON APRIL 20TH IS THE DATE THAT YOU GUYS SET TO BE OUT THERE.
THAT'S WHAT WE DID NOT DISCUSS.
WAS A TIME THAT EVERYBODY WAS GOING TO MEET OUT THERE.
SO I WAS LOOKING AT PERSONALLY, MY CALENDAR.
BUT WOULD THE EVENING WORK AND I KNOW STAFF HOURS TO WOULD EVENING WORK BETTER FOR EVERYONE OR WAS EVERYONE'S THOUGHTS 100% EVENING FOR ME IT'S IT'S EARTH DAY WEEKEND.
AND SO US, YOU KNOW, FOLKS THAT DO ENVIRONMENTAL OUTREACH, IT'S IT'S THE THE BIGGEST WEEKEND FOR US.
AND SO I'M, I'M BOOKED THAT MORNING AT THE ENCHANTED FOREST.
BUT I WOULD LOVE TO BE THERE TO VOLUNTEER.
SO IF WE COULD DO A LATE AFTERNOON I DON'T KNOW HOW WHAT YOU CONSIDER EVENING, BUT I THINK MY EVENT'S OVER AT LIKE 2 OR 3, BUT THAT THAT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL JUST FOR ME PERSONALLY.
YEAH. ANY OTHER THOUGHTS? IT DOESN'T MATTER. I'VE HAD A PRIOR COMMITMENT AND I'M SAD I CANNOT BE THERE AT ALL.
SO I WOULD LIKE TO ASK HOW MANY VOLUNTEERS WE'RE EXPECTING.
SO I THINK I FORGET WHAT WE SAID LAST TIME.
I THINK JUST OUT OF WITH CONTADINA AND I FEEL LIKE SOME ORGANIZATIONS I'M IN ALONE.
I THINK WE WERE TRYING TO GET TEN EACH.
AND I KNOW OTHERS ARE INVOLVED IN OTHER GROUPS.
SO, I MEAN, I WOULD THINK AT LEAST AT LEAST 20.
IT'S KIND OF WHAT I WAS SHOOTING FOR, BUT DO YOU THINK.
HOW MANY PLANTS DID YOU SAY WERE GOING TO BE DOING? I'M. I'M GOING TO ORDER 150 OF EACH OF EACH ONE.
THERE WAS TWO. SO THAT'S A 300.
I NEVER BOUGHT INTO THIS, BUT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE A COUPLE MINUTES PER PLANT.
SO. BUT EVEN IF YOU SAID FIVE MINUTES PER PLANT, THAT'S 60.
SO, I MEAN, WE COULD PROBABLY ACTUALLY DO A FEW MORE PEOPLE THAN THAT, YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY ALWAYS HAVE TO ACCOUNT FOR SOME NO SHOWS AT THE LAST MINUTE AND WHATNOT.
BUT YEAH, I THINK I KNOW FROM MY PART I JUST WANT TO HAVE A SOME KIND OF SIGN UP BECAUSE I'D BE WORRIED THAT 50 PEOPLE SHOW UP JUST FROM CONRADINA BECAUSE THEY'RE SO ENTHUSIASTIC WITH THAT.
WELL, AND I KNOW WE WERE THINKING ABOUT THE PARKING SITUATION.
IS THAT ANOTHER PART OF THAT ASPECT? YEAH. SO WE TALKED ABOUT HAVING YOU GUYS TELL US HOW MANY YOU WERE ABLE TO KIND OF GATHER FOR THIS MEETING SO WE COULD DISCUSS THEN THE LOGISTICS OF HOW WE WERE GOING TO TRANSPORT X AMOUNT OF PEOPLE OVER THERE.
[00:10:02]
CAN COORDINATE THAT BEFORE WELL BEFORE THE 20TH.SO WE CAN DEFINITELY HAVE THAT COUNT TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF BUS OR ANYTHING WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PROVIDE TO GET EVERYBODY FROM POINT A TO B, AND I THINK IT WAS GOING TO BE LIKE BOARD AND FRIENDS, ESSENTIALLY.
SO IF I DON'T I WAS JUST GOING TO REACH OUT PERSONALLY TO FOLKS ABOUT VOLUNTEERING WITH IT.
AND THEN FROM THERE WE WOULD TAKE AND BUS EVERYBODY IN AND THEN BACK OUT.
THAT WOULD BE FINE WITH ME 2020 SEEMS I MEAN IT'S 300 PLANTS BUT 20 IS A GOOD BIT OF VOLUNTEERS.
AND THAT'S MANAGEABLE WITH TRANSPORT TO.
AND SO WHAT TIME WOULD THIS BE LIKE? WHAT TIME DID YOU WANT TO SHOOT FOR? WE JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE OFF THE PROPERTY BEFORE DARK.
LIKE, I THINK CONTRACTORS ARE REQUIRED TO BE OFF THEIR PROPERTIES BY SIX.
SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE TRY TO FOLLOW THOSE SAME RULES WITH THREE WORK FOR YOU.
BECAUSE WE'RE THINKING, WHAT, LIKE TWO HOURS? MY EVENTS 10 TO 3 SO I COULD COME IMMEDIATELY AFTER.
OKAY. IS THAT THE ENCHANTED FOREST? SO THAT'S THAT'S UP THERE? YEAH. SO JUST SO YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE DOING 20 VOLUNTEERS, THE MATH AT 300 PLANTS WOULD BE 15 PLANTS PER PERSON.
I THINK IT'S IS THAT A THAT'S WHAT THE NUMBER THAT'S WITHIN AN HOUR'S WORK I WOULD THINK EASILY SO.
YEAH, YOU'RE GETTING ADULTS, NOT KIDS.
YEAH. AND AND TOOLS WILL BE PROVIDED.
POST HOLE DIGGERS, THAT KIND OF STUFF.
YES, SIR. WE ALSO HAVE AUGERS TO TO JUST DO IT REAL QUICK.
OH, WOW. THE BOARD CAN JUST SHOW UP.
OKAY. I'VE DUG PLENTY OF FOXHOLES.
SO STARTING AT THREE IS WHAT? SO. SO ME.
WE'LL FIGURE OUT WHAT PART OR STAFF CAN DO THE DETAILS ON WHERE TO MEET FOR THE PARK AND SHUTTLING.
YOU FEEL LIKE THREE IS THE LATEST WE SHOULD START? OR COULD IT BE CLOSER TO FOUR? BECAUSE IF IF THREE IS WHAT YOU THINK.
BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT TIME IT'S GETTING DARKER AROUND THAT TIME.
YOU GUYS MEAN I CAN JUST GET THERE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
BUT AGAIN, MY EVENTS UNTIL THREE AND I'LL BRING I'LL BRING FIVE PEOPLE COUNTING MYSELF.
SO SHOULD WE SHOOT FOR FOUR THEN.
IS THAT IF FOUR WORKS, THAT WOULD DEFINITELY BE BENEFICIAL FOR ME.
IF IT'S TWO HOURS, IF YOU'RE ANTICIPATING TWO HOURS, FOUR WOULD WORK.
WE'D STILL BE OUT OF THERE BY SIX.
BUT IT MAY NOT TAKE TWO HOURS ESPECIALLY.
I THINK IT WILL. YEAH. THE ADDITIONAL VOLUNTEERS MR. SMITH IS TALKING ABOUT.
SO. SO IF WE CAN DO FOUR, THAT WOULD BE.
THAT'D BE GREAT. SO YOU'RE GOING TO BRING FIVE.
I'LL HAVE MYSELF PLUS FOUR OKAY.
AND THEN I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW MANY I SHOULD GET.
AND HOW MANY ON THE BOARD ARE GOING TO GO.
I'LL BE THERE. I WON'T BE ABLE TO MAKE IT AS OF RIGHT NOW.
ON THE CITY WEBSITE OR WHATNOT.
BUT LIKE I SAID, I'M NOT 100% SURE RIGHT NOW.
OKAY, SO ANY PHOTOS WE TAKE WILL BE SHARED WITH OUR OUTREACH PEOPLE.
BUT IF IF THE TWO OF US HAD NEAR TEN, HOW MANY HOW MANY STAFF ARE GOING TO BE THERE? SO WE COUNT THAT AS WELL, RIGHT? I MEAN, ME AND ONE OTHER PERSON.
OKAY. SO THAT WOULD 12 SUPERVISING.
THAT'S MAKING SURE WE'RE DOING WHAT WE NEED TO DO.
NOT CUTTING ANY LINES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
YEAH. EACH THAT WILL GET OKAY.
5 TO 10 I'M JUST GOING TO ASK FOR SIGNUPS AT OUR GENERAL MEETING.
I DON'T WANT TO PUT IT IN THE NEWSLETTER BECAUSE WE'LL GET TOO MANY PEOPLE.
YEAH. IS IT A PROBLEM IF LIKE, MORE FOLKS SHOW UP? I THINK IT WOULD BE A GOOD PROBLEM, BUT I THINK THE ONLY ISSUE MIGHT BE DEPENDING ON HOW MANY THERE ARE, WE MIGHT HAVE TO MAKE MULTIPLE TRIPS WITH THE WITH THE BUS. OKAY.
[00:15:02]
OKAY. YEAH, THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY ISSUE.BUT IT'S NICE. WE DON'T HAVE TO BRING STUFF.
MOST OF OUR EVENTS. YOU HAVE TO BRING YOUR OWN SHOVELS AND ALL YOUR GEAR.
AND SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SUPPLYING ALL THAT.
AWESOME. SO THE APRIL 20TH, 4 P.M..
THEY'LL BE WAIVERS AT THE PARKING LOT OR AT THE PARK TO SIGN UP.
SO WE SHOULD BE ALL SET ON THAT.
IS THAT MEET THE GOAL? YES, SIR. AWESOME.
ANY OTHER COMMENT FROM THE BOARD? AWESOME. SO NEXT UP WE HAVE THE SUSTAINABILITY FAIR 2024 UPDATE.
ALL RIGHT, SO I'VE GOT A LIST HERE, OF WHO HAS SENT IN THEIR VENDOR REQUEST.
SO FORGIVE ME IF I BUTCH SOME ACRONYMS FROM THE WAY THIS IS, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IFRS BREVARD COUNTY EXTENSION HAS SIGNED UP.

COOL. WOULD YOU. COULD YOU CIRCULATE? I WON'T TAKE A PICTURE BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE SURE.
BECAUSE I KNOW I GOT ONE EMAIL BACK THAT THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO JOIN US.
WITH THIS, THERE'S ONE EMAIL JANE, I'D LIKE TO DISCUSS WITH YOU THAT HAS COME UP.
WE HAVE NOT SEEN THE VENDOR SIGN UP FOR THAT.
SO WITH THAT, I'VE TALKED TO EVERYBODY.
SO YEAH I NEED TO MAKE SURE SHE SENT IT.
I HOPE SHE DIDN'T JUST SEND IT TO ME BUT I'LL DOUBLE CHECK THAT.
THAT WAS. WE'LL SEE HER TOMORROW TOO, SO WE'LL GET THAT ALL SQUARED AWAY.
I DID REACH OUT TO, I HAD THREE ADDITIONAL PEOPLE.
I HAD RECENTLY SENT OUT EMAILS FOR EVERYONE ON MY LIST AS A FOLLOW UP TO PHONE NUMBERS.
I ONLY HAD TWO PHONE NUMBERS ON MY LIST, SO I WEREN'T I WASN'T ABLE TO REACH OUT TO THEM THAT WAY.
BUT LIKE I SAID, I DON'T SEE THE FOLKS WHO I SUGGESTED ON THIS LIST.
SO I WILL BE REACHING OUT AND FOLLOWING UP IN THE UPCOMING WEEKS, AND THAT'S FINE.
SO THAT WAY WE HAVE A MORE OF AN UPDATED ONE FOR NEXT YEAR'S PROCESS AS WELL.
SO FEEL FREE, SUSAN, TO EMAIL THAT OUT TO ME.
ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS THEY'D LIKE, WANT US TO TALK TO YOU GUYS ABOUT WAS WE NEEDED TO SEE ABOUT DOING MORE KID ACTIVITIES AND WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR THERE IS TO SEE IF YOU CAN REACH OUT TO ANYBODY THAT YOU KNOW THAT HAS BOUNCE HOUSES, FACE PAINTING, DO LIKE IN-KIND SERVICES WHERE YOU CAN GET THEM TO COME AND DO THE ACTIVITIES FOR THE CHILDREN.
AND THEN WE'D OBVIOUSLY PROMOTE THEIR LOGOS THROUGH THE FLIERS, ANY OF THAT.
SO THEY'RE URGING US TO HAVE YOU GUYS SEE IF YOU CAN.
AND THEN THERE'S ALSO A DISCUSSION OF MUSIC.
IF ANYBODY KNOWS ANY DJS THAT YOU CAN DO THAT IN KIND SERVICE WITH AS WELL.
[00:20:10]
I DON'T, I CAN, I CAN.I DON'T SEE IT ON THIS LIST, BUT I WILL CIRCULATE THE NEW LIST WHERE WE'VE BEEN HAD IT, YOU KNOW.
DIVIDE IT OUT FOR EACH MEMBER HERE.
AND THEN OF COURSE, ANY CONTACT INFORMATION OR UPDATED I'VE UPDATED AS WELL.
I THINK THEY'RE ON THE ORIGINAL.
I FEEL LIKE I REMEMBER SEEING SAINT JOHN'S ON THERE.
OKAY. WE ALSO RECEIVED THE RAIN BARRELS THERE RIGHT NOW AT PUBLIC WORKS TOO.
DO YOU HAVE THEM ON YOUR LIST? CARLOS? YES. IS IT? THAT IS ON THE LIST.
AND YES, WE HAVE DEFINITELY SECURED THOSE, AS ERIC STATED.
AND THEY'RE SITTING THERE ON OUR YARD WAITING TO GO.
THE OTHER THING, TOO, WITH CRAIG WALLACE.
WE HAVE ALREADY TALKED TO THE UTILITIES DEPARTMENT AND STUFF, SO HE IS GOING TO ACTUALLY BE DOING A PRESENTATION THAT HE'S GOING TO BE SENDING TO OUR, TO US.
THAT'S GOING TO GO UP ON THE MOVIE SCREEN.
AND HE'S GOING TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO THE PUBLIC PRIOR TO THE MOVIE STARTING.
AND WHAT TIME DOES THE MOVIE START? I WAS TOLD THAT IT STARTS RIGHT AT DARK.
SO THEY PREDICTED THAT TO BE ABOUT 730.
SO THERE'S TWO PEOPLE THAT I KNOW ARE COMING LISA RUCKMAN OF CITIZENS FOR CLIMATE LOBBY.
THEY HAVE APPARENTLY NOT CONFIRMED THOSE.
THAT LIST IS THE ONES DANIEL HAS DEFINITELY GOTTEN.
DO YOU NEED ME TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT OR IS DANIEL FOLLOWING? WELL, THAT'S WHERE YOU'LL NEED TO, YOU KNOW, FOLLOW UP ON THAT.
DO THEY NEED TO FILL OUT THE APPLICATION? CORRECT. OH, THERE'S OKAY, BECAUSE THEY HAD IT.
AND THEN KEN PARKS OF MARINE RESOURCE COUNCIL.
YEAH, APPARENTLY THEY HAVEN'T SIGNED UP AS WELL.
SO YOU JUST WANT TO REACH OUT TO THEM? YEAH. AND LET THEM KNOW THAT THAT DEADLINE IS COMING AND.
YOU'RE WELCOME TO SINCE YOU HAVE THE VENDOR FORM.
DEFINITELY DO HAVE THEM FILL IT OUT.
THEY CAN EMAIL THAT TO ME AS WELL.
AND I CAN GET THAT ON OVER TO DANIEL.
HEATHER STAPLETON SO OH, HEATHER CAN'T COME.
WELL, WHEN WE CHANGED IT TO AN EVENING I KNOW SHE'S SINGING THAT MORNING.
BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE WE, WE NEED TO GET A, GET A GOOD GRIP AS A BOARD ON ON WHO HAS CONFIRMED AND THEN REACH BACK OUT TO THE ONES THAT WE KNOW BECAUSE AND THE CARLOS THING. SO WE DID ON ON ANOTHER THING DID THE EVENTBRITE REGISTRATION.
DID HE GET THAT ON THE FLIER? YES. OKAY. SO THE FLIER DID GET UPDATED.
WE HAD A LITTLE HICCUP ON SOME OF THAT, BUT CARLOS MANAGED TO GET THE QR CODE.
THAT WILL TAKE HIM TO THAT EVENT.
RIGHT. EVENTBRITE PAGE BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO SIGN UP IN ORDER TO DO THE THE RAIN BARRELS.
AND YES, I CAN EMAIL THAT FLIER OUT TO YOU NOW.
SO INSTEAD OF THE QR CODE WHERE IT WENT TO OUR PAGE FOR THE MOVIE IN THE PARK THE QR CODE NOW GOES TO HIS EVENTBRITE PAGE THAT HAS THAT ON THERE FOR THE REGISTRATION, BECAUSE I WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT BECAUSE HE DOES.
SO I'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AND TALK TO HIM ABOUT THAT TOMORROW AND JUST SEE MAKE TO TO MAKE SURE THAT IT, IT DOES THAT BECAUSE OTHERWISE THEN WE'LL JUST NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO WITH THE FIVE EXTRAS.
AND IT'S NOT HARD TO GET GET RID OF FREE RAIN BARRELS.
SO WHETHER WE WOULD RAFFLE THEM OR.
YEAH. SO HE MIGHT HAVE RESTRICTIONS ON RAFFLING OR.
NO. NO THAT BECAUSE WE DID IT WE DID IT LAST WEEKEND.
YEAH. IT I DON'T THINK THE EPA WAS INVOLVED LAST YEAR BUT THEY ARE THIS YEAR.
HE JUST NEEDS TO GET RID OF HIM IS WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO.
[00:25:06]
SO. I FOUND THE FORM FROM FLORIDA WILDLIFE HOSPITAL AND JUST SENT IT TO DANIEL.I THINK SHE HAD SENT IT TO A DIFFERENT EMAIL.
ALL RIGHT. COULD WE BRAINSTORM A BIT ON THE MUSIC AND THE KIDS ACTIVITIES? BECAUSE I THINK THERE'S WE ALL MIGHT KNOW SOMEBODY THAT IS NOT COMING TO MIND.
DIDN'T DIDN'T PARK AND REC DO IT LAST YEAR.
THEY HAD THEY HAD THE SYSTEM LAST YEAR AND WE JUST KIND OF PUT IT ON A STATION.
BECAUSE I HELP THEM SET IT UP.
BECAUSE OF THE MOVIE AND THE PARK, WE'RE LIMITED ON THAT.
YEAH. AND BECAUSE THIS YEAR BEING THE KIND OF PIGGYBACK THING WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO.
OKAY. WELL, THE WILDLIFE HOSPITAL WILL BE BRINGING THE ANIMALS, SO IT'S DEFINITELY GEARED FOR KIDS.
AND CONRADINA IS GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF COLORING PAGES AND WHATNOT.
FOR KIDS? WELL, THE ANIMALS ARE CAN BE THE BIG HIT.
OH, YEAH, BECAUSE THEY USUALLY DEPENDS ON THE TIME OF DAY WHETHER THEY BRING AN OWLS OR SNAKES.
SO I CAN ASK TOMORROW AND FIND OUT.
WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT? MAYBE WE HOLD THE SNAKES.
OOPS. MAYBE WE DON'T NEED LOUD MUSIC OR THINGS IF THERE'S GOING TO BE ANIMALS AND.
IS THERE LIKE A SPEAKER SYSTEM THAT WE COULD PROBABLY IMPLEMENT OR SOMETHING IF IT'S NOT SUPER LOUD MUSIC? I DON'T THINK SO, BUT I COULD I DEFINITELY CAN CHECK TO SEE IF THERE'S ONE THAT WE CAN ADD AND LET YOU KNOW.
MIGHT WANT THIS FOR HIM TO SET UP A LITTLE TENT AND DO A LITTLE MUSIC AND.
AND AGAIN, YOU KNOW THEY WERE STRESSING THAT, YOU KNOW WE TRY TO DO THIS AS A DONATION IN KIND.
AND THEN WITH THAT WE CAN PROMOTE THEIR LOGO TO HELP GIVE THEM A BECAUSE THAT WAS ANOTHER ONE.
THEY DIDN'T GIVE ME THE NAME, BUT THAT'S ANOTHER ONE WHERE THEY'RE JUST APPARENTLY STARTING OUT IN THAT LINE OF WORK, AND THAT'S HOW THEY GOT THEM ON BOARD, IS TO HELP PROMOTE THEIR COMPANY A LITTLE BIT.
OKAY. DO WE HAVE KIND OF LIKE A RUN OF SHOW? I KNOW YOU SAID SOMEONE IS SPEAKING AND PRESENTING, AND I'D ACTUALLY LIKE TO ASK CRAIG IS THERE SOMETHING SPECIFIC THAT YOU COULD THINK OF THAT YOU, YOU KNOW, YOU PRESENT OTHER PLACES THAT MAY BE, YOU KNOW, RELEVANT TO THE FAIR OR SOMETHING.
IF YOU IF YOU HAVE A I DON'T KNOW IF, IF YOU HAVE AN ANSWER OR A RESPONSE.
YEAH, IF YOU JUST COME TO THE PODIUM.
YOU WANT TO TALK. SO I HAVEN'T SUBMITTED ANYTHING YET, BUT THEY WANT ME TO GET SOMETHING DOWN.
BUT, I MEAN, I WILL DEFINITELY ADDRESS THE LAGOON THE LAGOON PROGRAM IN TERMS OF HOW IT'S PROGRESSED AND THE VALUE OF IT TO THE COMMUNITY AND THAT SORT OF THING.
SO I'M WIDE OPEN IN TERMS OF HOW YOU WANT TO HANDLE THAT.
GOTCHA. ON A CERTAIN LEVEL, THIS IS UNCHARTERED TERRITORY AND I SAY THAT MEANING.
OUR AUDIENCE LAST YEAR WAS MOSTLY FAMILIES.
THIS IS A DIFFERENT VENUE AND I HAVE A FEELING IT'S GOING TO.
AND I'M CONFIDENT IT'LL BRING A BIGGER CROWD.
BUT, BUT, BUT IN TERMS OF THE AUDIENCE, I THINK IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE THE SAME.
[00:30:03]
AND SO I THINK THAT MATTERS.AND SO WE CAN WE CAN DISCUSS THAT.
YEAH. YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I KNOW A LOT OF TIMES YOU'RE USED TO PROBABLY SPEAKING TO, TO WHOEVER FROM, FROM WHATEVER COMMUNITY, YOU KNOW, WHETHER IT'S NATIVE PLANT PEOPLE OR PEOPLE THAT ARE WATER QUALITY PEOPLE AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
SO I THINK THIS IS GENERALLY GOING TO BE THE THE PEOPLE WE WANT TO HEAR IT.
BUT I THINK THAT WILL MATTER IN TERMS OF THE LEVEL OF TECHNICALITY, FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD.
WE TALK MORE SCIENCE AND THAT SORT OF THING.
BUT WE'RE WE'RE TALKING BASICS.
I MEAN, I'M NOT GOING TO GET INTO ANY SCIENCE AT ALL.
SO, YEAH, THERE WILL DEFINITELY BE KIDS AND THEY'LL BE READY FOR THE MOVIE.
I THINK FOCUSING ON PROBABLY THE THE FAMILY AS A WHOLE AND THE PARENTS IS PROBABLY A BETTER TARGET.
BECAUSE IT'S IT'S HARD ENOUGH.
I DO OUTREACH IN THE SCHOOLS AND YEAH, GET 150 KIDS TOGETHER.
IS CHAOS EVEN IN A, IN A SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT, YOU KNOW.
YEAH. I MEAN, I'M GOING TO KEEP IT BRIEF.
I'M NOT THIS ISN'T GOING TO RUN ON.
BUT BUT I, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE WHATEVER MESSAGES YOU WANT TO GET OUT THERE.
I MEAN, I'M OBVIOUSLY LAGOON FOCUSED, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I CAN'T TALK ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE.
IF I'M THE ONLY ONE ON THE PODIUM THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO THE COMMUNITY THAT YOU WANT TO, YOU WANT TO SAY, I'M PERFECTLY WILLING TO TALK ABOUT THOSE THINGS. SO I ENCOURAGE YOU TO, YOU KNOW, LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU KNOW, WHAT YOU'D LIKE ME TO SAY, AND I'LL TRY TO SPEAK THOSE MESSAGES.
WELL, WE HAD TALKED BEFORE ABOUT SOMEONE FROM THE CITY MAYBE BEING THERE TO TALK ABOUT THE SEPTIC TO SEWER, BECAUSE I'M GUESSING THAT WOULD COME UP EITHER WITH YOU OR DO YOU KNOW IF ANYONE'S GOING TO BE ABLE TO BE THERE? BECAUSE I WAS AT ALL.
THE LAST TIME I SPOKE TO SOMEONE REGARDING HAVING A PRESENTATION REGARDING ABOUT THAT, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T DO IT BECAUSE OF THE THE LEGAL ASPECTS OF IT.
IT'S I THINK THEY WOULD HAVE TO EXPLAIN IT BETTER THAN I WOULD, BUT THEY CAN'T PUT ANY KIND OF FLIERS OR ANYTHING OUT YET UNTIL IT'S FINALIZED IN SOME WAY.
OH, WELL, MAYBE EVEN JUST TALKING ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF THAT.
I CAN PUT YOU IN TOUCH WITH UTILITIES OUTREACH.
AND YOU CAN HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH HER IF YOU'D LIKE.
I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK OUT OF TURN.
I'M NOT IN THE UTILITIES DEPARTMENT, SO I DON'T KNOW ALL OF THE DETAILS.
YEAH. I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WANT TO MAKE PEOPLE AWARE OF IS THE THE STATE HAS BASICALLY MANDATED BY 2030, IN SIX, SIX YEARS, THAT WE'RE ALL EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE CONNECTED TO PUBLIC SEWER.
SO, YOU KNOW, HOW DO WE GET THERE? YOU KNOW, SO THERE IS FUNDING COMING DOWN THAT'S AVAILABLE FOR PEOPLE TO, YOU KNOW, SOME OF IT'S JUST YOU'RE UPGRADING YOUR SEPTIC TANK TO AN ADVANCED SEPTIC AND SOME OF IT IS, IS CONNECTING TO DOING THE QUICK CONNECTS OR OTHER TYPES OF THINGS THAT ARE EASIER TO DO.
[00:35:02]
GET BE THE FIRST ONE IN LINE TO SIGN UP FOR THESE PROGRAMS BECAUSE THE FUNDING IS THERE NOW.AND WHO KNOWS, YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE NEXT YEAR OR THE YEAR AFTER.
SO WE'VE GOT HERSELF IN WITH ALL THESE SEPTIC TANKS.
AND IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, IT'S A MATTER OF WHETHER YOU PAY FOR IT OR SOMEBODY ELSE PAYS FOR IT.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'VE SEEN AT OTHER EVENTS IS THE SIMPLE TEST TUBES OF WATER, VIALS OF WATER, OF UNTREATED SEWAGE VERSUS TREATED AND YARD RUNOFF VERSUS RAIN RUNOFF VERSUS RAINWATER RUNOFF THAT'S BEEN FILTERED THROUGH A RAIN GARDEN.
THESE SIMPLE VISUAL DISPLAYS CAN REALLY ESPECIALLY FOR KIDS.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE THAT.
YES WE DO. THERE USED TO BE YOU KNOW, ADOPT A MANGROVE, A SEEDLING AND, AND BRING IT IN.
SO IF YOU HAD SOME OF THOSE TO EITHER ADOPT OR JUST SHOW AT VARIOUS STAGES OF GROWTH AND HOW I KNOW I'VE SEEN THESE THINGS, OTHER PLACES, HOW THEY HELP THE WATER AND HOW OYSTERS ATTACHED TO THEM AND YOU KNOW, THE BENEFITS.
SO WE HAVE ALL THAT MATERIAL SO WE CAN DEFINITELY FIT THAT IN.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING.
I MEAN I KIND OF LOOK AT THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY.
AND THEN THAT BRINGS THE PARENTS IN TO HELP THEM ANSWER THE QUESTIONS.
AND THE KID LEARNS SOMETHING. THE PARENTS GETS EXPOSED TO SOMETHING THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE OTHERWISE.
SO THAT'S KIND OF HOW I WOULD LIKE TO, TO DO THIS SORT OF THING.
SO I'LL KIND OF YOU KNOW, DO IT BOTH WAYS.
GREAT. OUR TAGLINE FOR THE FAIR IS BE THE SOLUTION.
SO ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN THINK OF REGARDING LOW IMPACT LIVING THAT FAMILIES I THINK JUST STARTING THE CONVERSATION ABOUT, DO YOU HAVE A SEPTIC TANK AND DO YOU KNOW HOW TO MAINTAIN IT UNTIL WE GET CONNECTED TO THE CITY SEWER? I WOULD LOVE TO SEE HANDOUT.
YOU OBVIOUSLY ARE VERY UPDATED ON LEGISLATION.
THERE COULD BE SOME PEOPLE WHO WRITE WOULD BE INTERESTED IN THAT.
BUT I LOVE THE IDEA OF CHILDREN AND PLANTING.
AND EVERYBODY'S GOT FLOODING ISSUES AND WATER MANAGEMENT.
SO. YEAH. SO JUST LISTENING TO YOUR TALK ABOUT THE PLANNINGS YOU KNOW, THOSE ARE THE TYPE OF THINGS WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE MORE TREES, THE BETTER OFF WE ARE. THOSE TYPE OF THINGS THAT WE WE TALK ABOUT FROM AN EDUCATING WHAT YOU CAN DO IN YOUR YARD, WHAT YOU CAN DO, YOU KNOW, THE RAIN GARDENS AND RAIN BARRELS AND THOSE SORT OF THINGS.
SO, YEAH, WE'LL MAKE PLENTY OF THOSE VISUAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE TO CONNECT WITH.
THIS IS GOOD. YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHAT SOLVES THIS PROBLEM.
THANK YOU. SO IT ALSO BEEN WONDERING ABOUT HOW IF THERE'S ANY PLACES THAT ARE EASILY ACCESSED BY FAMILIES TO SEE WHERE SOME OF THESE IMPROVEMENTS HAVE ALREADY TAKEN, THE PLANTINGS, THE OYSTER BEDS, WHERE THEY'VE ALREADY HAPPENED, AND SAY HOW PEOPLE CAN GET INVOLVED AND VOLUNTEERING WITH THAT.
SO THERE'S, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A STRING OF EVENTS FOR VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES.
WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE TO GO OUT AND PUT OYSTER REEFS OUT OR PLANT MANGROVES OR WHATEVER? AND, YOU KNOW, DOING STUFF IN YOUR YARD.
SO IT'S THOSE TYPE OF THINGS, YOU KNOW, I'M GOING TO STAY AWAY FROM ALL THE TECHNICAL STUFF IN, IN THE, YOU KNOW, I WON'T TALK ABOUT BAFFLE BOXES AND YOU KNOW AND EVEN WHEN I TALK ABOUT SEPTICS, IT'S REALLY AT A VERY HIGH LEVEL.
SO ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO YOU KNOW, TO TO, TO GET THE, GET IT PROPERLY TREATED IN IMPROVING, YOU KNOW, STORMWATER, THE WASTEWATER UTILITIES AS WELL IN TERMS OF REDUCING NITROGEN PHOSPHORUS OUTPUT FROM THOSE.
SO, SO THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS I CAN COULD BRING UP.
BUT THOSE THOSE ARE GOOD THOUGHTS.
[00:40:07]
BE GOOD TO MY.YEAH. SO DO YOU HAVE A TIME FRAME THAT YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT YOU'RE GOING TO TRY TO FILL OR.
WELL, I 15 MINUTES WAS WHAT THE SUGGESTION WAS.
AND I DEFINITELY DON'T WANT TO MAKE IT LONGER THAN THAT.
NO YOU DON'T. AND MY, MY THOUGHT WAS I KNOW REPUBLIC IS GOING TO BE THERE.
I WONDER IF THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PREPARE YOUR TALK WITH THE RECYCLING TALK.
AND I KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A TABLE, BUT IT'S VERY KID TARGETED.
AND YOU KNOW IT'S GOOD 5 TO 10 MINUTE TALK PAIRING WITH THAT IF WE HAVE THE TIME.
SO IT'S JUST THROWING THAT OUT THERE.
AND I KNOW THAT REPUBLIC IS GEARED FOR IT.
I DON'T KNOW THAT PALM HAS SOMEONE IN THAT POSITION RIGHT NOW, BUT.
I WOULD BE DOING IT AS A COUNTY RECYCLING COORDINATOR.
I WOULD BE DOING IT AS A PALM BAY REPRESENTATIVE BECAUSE THE RULES ARE DIFFERENT.
OR SUZANNE WANTS TO SAY SOMETHING.
SO, YOU KNOW, WE CAN MAKE THIS WORK HOWEVER YOU WANT TO DO IT.
I MEAN, I'M VERY HAPPY TO SHARE THE PODIUM WITH WITH WHOEVER ELSE WANTS TO SPEAK.
ALL RIGHT. WELL, THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.
SO WHAT TIME DO YOU NEED US THERE TO SET UP? SORRY, I MIGHT HAVE MISSED THAT SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY.
WE REALLY HAVEN'T HAD THAT DISCUSSION, BUT IT IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WE NEED TO BE DISCUSSING.
WE ARE GOING TO BE HAVING AN INTERNAL DISCUSSION NEXT WEEK AS FAR AS WHAT PUBLIC WORKS NEEDS TO BRING TO THE TABLE, BUT WE NEED TO DEFINITELY HAVE THAT DISCUSSION TONIGHT AS TO WHO'S GOING TO BE THERE.
A LITTLE BIT OF THAT. SO YES, I KNOW FROM MY PART I AM GOING TO BE MANNING THE CONRADINA TABLE.
I'M HAPPY TO SET UP AND TEAR DOWN, BUT OUR GROUP IS BOOKED AT THE DOWNTOWN MELBOURNE BOTANICAL FESTIVAL, SO I'M FLYING SOLO ON THIS EVENT FOR THEM, SO.
BUT I'M HAPPY TO HELP OUT BEFORE AND AFTER AS WELL.
I'VE GOT THE WHOLE DAY BLOCKED OFF, SO I'LL BE THERE.
START TO FINISH. I'LL BE STOPPING BY THE BOTANICAL FESTIVAL.
AND THEN ALL DAY THE REST OF THE DAY.
CAN I HELP PACKAGE THEM AND THEN PRESENT THAT TO YOU GUYS AS TO KIND OF WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
SO THAT WAY WE'RE A LITTLE BIT BETTER COORDINATED WITH THAT.
IF THERE'S NO OTHER DISCUSSION ON IT, WE'LL MOVE INTO NUMBER THREE.
BAD NEWS. THE GOOD NEWS IS WE GOT OUR PURCHASE ORDERS AND WE PLACED THE SOLARIZATION DOWN.
AND THE NEXT DAY I WAS TOLD WE HAD TO REMOVE IT.
AND THERE NEED TO BE ADDITIONAL LOCATE FLAGS PLACED IN THE AREA THAT THE GARDEN IS GOING.
SO WE NEED TO PAUSE FOR A MOMENT AND FIND OUT WHERE EVERYTHING IS UNDER THE GROUND.
IF WE HAVE TO MOVE SOMETHING OR IF WE HAVE TO DIVERT SOMETHING TO BENEFIT, BENEFIT THE BUILDING THAT WE'RE BUILDING, THEN WE CAN GO OVER WHAT, WHAT'S REQUIRED ONCE WE FIND OUT WHERE EVERYTHING IS.
BUT THEY COULDN'T LOCATE WITH WITH THE SOLARIZATION PANELS ON THE GROUND.
SO IT'S PAUSED RIGHT NOW, AND WE'RE GOING TO REVISIT IT AS SOON AS WE CAN.
AND THANK YOU FOR GOING AHEAD AND PAYING NATIVE BUTTERFLY FLOWERS FOR FOR THAT EFFORT.
[00:45:06]
ARE YOU ALLOWED TO SAY IF THERE'S A CHANCE WE'LL BE IN THE SAME LOCATION? OR ARE WE JUST DON'T EVEN KNOW.WE JUST DON'T KNOW. I STILL DON'T KNOW.
LOCATING THAT THEY DID WAS AT&T IN THAT AREA.
SO I DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHERE THEIR STUFF IS, BUT SUPPOSEDLY IT'S IN THAT SAME VICINITY.
YEAH. SO I'M HOPEFUL AND I THINK I MIGHT HAVE MENTIONED I'M.
MY MY LIKE MAYBE BACKUP PLAN AGAIN DEPENDING ON WHAT'S WHERE IS IF YOU CAN PICTURE THE WHERE THE THREE STORY BUILDING IS AND THERE'S ALL THIS, THIS VERY DEEP AND WIDE LANDSCAPING AREA THAT'S FULL OF ROCKS, LARGE ROCKS.
I'VE BEEN TOLD MAYBE THERE'S NOTHING THERE.
AND IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEN THAT AREA COULD BECOME.
BUT AGAIN, I CAN'T COMMIT UNTIL I KNOW FOR SURE THAT EVERYBODY DID ALL THE LOCATES.
YEAH. BECAUSE WHAT ALSO CHANGED, AS CHRISTINE MENTIONED, IS WITH THE NEW BUILDING COMING IN, THEY HAD DONE LOCATES FOR OLD STUFF, BUT THEN THERE'S NEW STUFF THAT THE CONTRACTOR IS GOING TO BE PUTTING IN THAT HAS TO BE RELOCATED BECAUSE OF THE NEW BUILDING.
COULD YOU TAKE THAT UP? SO I APOLOGIZE THAT THAT WAS A MISSTEP ON OUR END.
BUT BUT ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THIS GARDEN.
SO MAYBE, LIKE, I'M GUESSING IN A MONTH OR TWO, WE'LL KNOW I SHOULD HAVE AN UPDATE EASILY BY THEN.
AT OUR NEXT MEETING, I SHOULD HAVE AN UPDATE.
ARE WE ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT NEMO, EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT ON? THE PART, EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA ANY.
MARK WAS SAYING THAT ALREADY GOT SIGNS OUT THERE.
HE WAS PRAISING THE STAFF GETTING SIGNS OUT THERE, NO PARKING AND STUFF.
SO THANK YOU FOR FOR GETTING A FAST START ON THAT.
IS THERE ANY OTHER. SURE, SURE.
WE HAD A GOOD, GOOD TEAM MEETING OUT THERE.
IT'S ONLY IT'S STILL WEDNESDAY.
SO HAD GOOD REPRESENTATION FROM THE TEAM.
MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS CAME OUT.
WE LOOKED AT THE SITE, WE WALKED THE SITE.
AND THERE'S A PRETTY, PRETTY BIG ACCESS PATH THAT WAS ESTABLISHED OVER TIME BY PEOPLE WALKING THE MELBOURNE TILLMAN CANAL THAT BACKS UP TO THIS AREA. THAT COULD CAUSE SOME PROBLEMS FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD, YOU KNOW, WITH PEOPLE COMING AND GOING WHO SHOULDN'T BE THERE.
BUT THEN, OF COURSE, THERE WAS THE RESIDENT COMPONENT OF THAT.
THE END RESULTS OF EVERYTHING AFTER REVIEWING THE SITE IS THAT WE ARE GOING TO START WITH REMOVAL OF EVERYTHING THAT'S MAN MADE, YOU KNOW, ANYTHING THAT'S FENCING AND STRUCTURES AND BROKEN STUFF.
SO ALL THAT'S COMING OUT WE ARE GOING TO BURN BERM OFF AND CLOSE UP THE ACCESS POINT AT THE CANAL AREA TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM COMING THROUGH.
SO WE HAD OUR, OUR SOME SOMEONE ON OUR TEAM TRACY WRIGHT, WHO'S PART OF THE TURKEY CREEK TEAM, SHE CAME OUT WITH US AND SHE WAS GIVING US ADVICE ON WHAT TO DO AND TOLD US HOW WE COULD TAKE CARE OF THIS CLEANUP WITHOUT AFFECTING, YOU KNOW, THE GOPHER TORTOISES.
BUT RIGHT NOW, THE SHORT, SHORT VERSION OF WHERE WE'RE AT IS WE'RE GOING TO CLEAN IT UP, WE'RE GOING TO CLOSE OFF THOSE ACCESS POINTS, AND WE'RE GOING TO JUST LET IT SIT FOR A LITTLE BIT, AND WE'LL BE BACK IN TOUCH WITH THE COMMUNITY, THE RESIDENTS, AND SEE WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO DO, BECAUSE THERE WAS SOME CONCERN AND THE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WAS, WAS BRINGING THESE CONCERNS UP, THAT IF WE CONTINUED TO MOW THIS AREA AND KEEP IT THIS BIG OPEN SPACE BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH BRUSH ALL AROUND IT, IT ACTUALLY IS NOT VERY IT'S NOT VERY VISIBLE.
SO WE'RE GOING TO JUST START THERE AND KIND OF SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.
AND, YOU KNOW, HAZARDS GALORE.
BUT IT WAS NICE HAVING AN IMPROMPTU ADDITION TO OUR MEETING WITH WITH MARK OUT THERE.
AND SO WE I THINK WE HAVE A GOOD AT LEAST FIRST STEP FORWARD.
AWESOME. AND THEN IS MARK, YOU MENTIONED SOMETHING, THE BOY SCOUT.
THERE'S A TERRACE OR SOMETHING.
SORRY. A COUPLE OF THE NEIGHBORS HAD MENTIONED.
I TOLD THEM WHAT? WHAT? YOU GUYS HAD MET UP AND TALKED ABOUT IT.
[00:50:01]
THAT PERGOLA AS YOU WALK IN THE BOY SCOUTS, THAT WAS A PROJECT THEY DID.THEY DIDN'T KNOW IF THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO BE THERE OR NOT BE ALLOWED TO STAY THERE.
IT'S PRETTY WELL CONSTRUCTED, BUT I UNDERSTAND THE HAZARDS AND ALL THAT STUFF.
SO JUST SOMETHING THEY THOUGHT OF.
SO YEAH, I WISH I COULD SAY WE COULD LEAVE THAT, BUT THAT'S COMING DOWN TOO.
YEAH. JUST BECAUSE WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE MAINTAINING IT.
SO WE DON'T WANT IT TO FALL IN DISREPAIR AND YOU KNOW, CAUSE A PROBLEM.
SO. OKAY. BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THAT TOUR YESTERDAY AND GETTING EVERYBODY TOGETHER.
ALL RIGHT. AND THEN THE LAST ITEM, UPCOMING MEETINGS, EVENTS OF INTEREST.
DID YOU ALL PUT TOGETHER THIS PACKET OF UPCOMING OR DID THIS WAS INFORMATION THAT I HAD SHARED.
AND THEY HAD THIS AWESOME RAIN GARDEN.
I KNOW THAT WE'RE KIND OF DOING THAT AROUND OUR NATIVE GARDEN THAT WE'RE PUTTING IN.
BUT IT WAS LIKE A VETERANS MEMORIAL GARDEN.
AND, YOU KNOW, THEY REALLY LIKE TO SHOW IT OFF THERE.
SO I THINK WE'RE GOING TO MISS LIKE, I'M NOT I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY HOW WE GO ABOUT SUGGESTING ANY KIND OF FUNDING OR PROJECTS AS PART OF THE BOARD HERE, BUT IT WAS JUST SOMETHING I WANTED TO PUT ON EVERYONE'S MIND.
I LOVE THE IDEA OF A RAIN GARDEN JUST BECAUSE OF THE BENEFITS OF IT.
SO TWO YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS ON THIS BOARD, WE, I THINK THE CITY OF MELBOURNE, THEY THEY GOT FUNDED 500,000 FOR TO START TO IMPLEMENT MEDIANS.
I THINK THEY ONLY PUT IN A FEW MEDIANS THAT WERE PERMEABLE SURFACES.
AND THEY WERE ABLE TO DO THAT PRETTY QUICKLY.
I BELIEVE THAT THOSE ARE IN ALREADY.
SO THERE ARE THERE'S ANOTHER GRANT I'LL TALK ABOUT THAT, THAT I HAD SAW.
AND I WAS LIKE, I JUST WANTED TO BRING IT TO EVERYONE'S ATTENTION, IF ANYTHING.
BUT I JUST THOUGHT THIS WAS REALLY COOL.
AND, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS SOMETHING WE COULD START WORKING ON FOR THE FUTURE AS A CITY, BUT TO RAIN GARDENS SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE WE ARE, YOU KNOW, WE ARE ALSO PALM BAY STILL DOES TOUCH THE LAGOON, ACTUALLY.
SO THAT WAS ON THE NEXT PAGE, WHAT I HAD MENTIONED.
JUST TO SHOW THE SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVES THAT'S HAPPENING IN PALM BAY, BECAUSE I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK WE'RE LOCATED VERY MUCH IN OR, YOU KNOW, OUT OFF OF THE ROWE AND WE'RE ALSO LOCATED ON THE IRL.
SO I WAS JUST WONDERING ABOUT, LIKE, ANY KIND OF PRESS RELEASES THAT WE COULD PUT OUT ABOUT THAT.
I THINK THE STORY OF NEMO CIRCLE OR THE GARDEN IS SUCH A GOOD STORY.
SO I GUESS I WAS JUST ASKING ABOUT PRESS AROUND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.
I ALSO WANTED TO ASK ABOUT THE TRASH BARGE WITH KEEP BREVARD BEAUTIFUL, AND THE CITY OF MELBOURNE SPECIFICALLY IS COMING UP ON APRIL 6TH, AND I WANTED TO KNOW IF WE LIKE, DID WE AS A CITY PARTICIPATE IN THE IN KEEP BREVARD BEAUTIFUL'S TRASH BASH BECAUSE I ONLY SAW LIKE CITY OF MELBOURNE LOCATIONS, SO I DON'T KNOW IF WE EVER DO IT WITH THEM.
WE DEFINITELY HAVE IN THE PAST.
THEY'VE CONTACTED US THIS TIME.
I DON'T BELIEVE WE'RE PARTICIPATING THIS TIME.
SO NEXT YEAR WE'LL BE PREPPED AND READY FOR IT.
ON THAT. ON THAT NOTE, SO I'M RUNNING THE PARADISE BEACH LOCATION FOR THEM.
BUT WE ALSO THAT TEAM JUST RECENTLY CONNECTED WITH A GROUP CALLED THE SAINT JOHNS RIVER WATERKEEPER.
JOHN NICO FROM KBB AND MYSELF RECENTLY MET WITH THE I DON'T KNOW IF SHE'S THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OR NOT, BUT THE POINT WITH THAT IS THAT WOULD BE PERFECT TIMING, BECAUSE WHAT THEY DO IS IT KIND OF CAPE TRASH BASH IS GOING TO KIND OF PIGGYBACK WITH IT IN SOME WAYS ON THAT.
BUT THERE'S PLENTY OF LOCATIONS WITHIN THE CITY THAT WOULD QUALIFY FOR THEIR LOCATIONS.
AND IT'S AT THE SAME TIME, IT ACTUALLY, IT'S A IT'S LIKE A MONTH PERIOD.
IT STARTS STARTED LAST WEEK, I THINK.
AND IT GOES THROUGH TOWARDS THE END OF APRIL.
AND SO NEXT YEAR THAT WOULD BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.
[00:55:02]
BETWEEN THAT AND TRASH BASH THERE THEY WILL BE KIND OF UNITED AGAIN NEXT YEAR.WE'LL HAVE A STRONGER RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM BY NEXT YEAR.
SO THAT THAT THAT FREES UP HOW MANY LOCATIONS YOU CAN HAVE.
BECAUSE WHAT THEY'RE REALLY LOOKING FOR IS NOT SO MUCH, IS IT TOUCHING THE ACTUAL LAGOON, BUT IS IT IN A PLACE THAT DRAINS INTO THE LAGOON AND EVERYWHERE DRAINS INTO THE LAGOON? SO IT GIVES YOU SOME VARIETY OF PARKS AND THINGS LIKE THAT FOR LOCATIONS THAT WE CAN DO AS.
AND IT'S ALSO A DO IT YOURSELF TYPE OF CLEANUP.
THEY JUST HAVE A WEBSITE WHERE YOU GO ON AND REGISTER AND THEN THEY HELP YOU.
THAT YOU DO YOUR OWN, WHETHER IT'S A SMALL OR A LARGE CLEANUP.
SO THAT'S A GREAT I DON'T WANT TO GIVE YOU GUYS THE WRONG IMPRESSION.
WE DO DO INTERNAL THINGS LIKE THAT.
CODE ENFORCEMENT SETS IT UP NORMALLY FOR THE MAIN ROADS AND STUFF.
LAST WEEK WE DID DO A COMPOUND CLEANUP.
WE GOT 13.5 TONS OF TIRES REMOVED.
I THINK THERE WAS 12.4 TONS OF GARBAGE THAT WAS REMOVED.
BREVARD COUNTY DID WORK WITH US AND WAIVED ALL THE FEES, THE DUMP FEES FOR ILLEGAL DUMPING.
SO WE WERE ABLE TO DO A LOT OF THOSE THINGS.
NICE. SO WE DO DO THINGS LIKE THAT INTERNALLY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
I'M NOT SURE THAT I REMEMBER THAT SPECIFICALLY, BUT WE DO A LOT OF THEM LIKE THAT INTERNALLY, SO.
I HAD ONLY PUT CLUB ESTEEMS CLUB TRASH BASH ON HERE BECAUSE RECENTLY THEY PARTNERED WITH THE CITY OF PALM BAY TO OPEN UP AN AUXILIARY LOCATION AND THEY'RE LOOKING TO HOPEFULLY DO MORE.
SO THIS THIS SPECIFICALLY SPECIFIC LOCATION IS THE CLOSEST TO PALM BAY.
SO I WANTED TO INCLUDE IT IN THERE.
IF ANYONE WANTED TO JUST GO TAKE A LOOK AT IT.
AND, YOU KNOW, JUST SEE IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WERE INTERESTED IN.
I KNOW THAT TAKING ON GRANTS AND THE PROJECTS ARE HUGE PROJECTS.
SO JUST WANTED TO MAKE EVERYONE AWARE OF IT, JUST TO KIND OF LOOK INTO.
BUT IT IS SPECIFICALLY FOR CITIES.
THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THAT TOGETHER.
THANK YOU. DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY UPCOMING EVENTS OR.
MINE WAS JUST TRASH BASH, SO I COVERED THAT.
YEAH. THAT'S IT. I THINK THE EARTH DAY EVENTS COMING UP IN SATELLITE BEACH ON APRIL 20TH.
AND OF COURSE, WE WOULD KNOW ABOUT TURKEY CREEK DAY ON APRIL 27TH.
AND THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT OUTSIDE OF HOURS.
I'VE COME. I'D LIKE TO MENTION A PAST EVENT THAT THE BUILDING E HAD.
ITS GROUNDBREAKING, AND, YOU KNOW, BUILDING E IS GOING TO HAVE SOLAR FEATURES AND A LOT OF THINGS THAT ARE OF INTEREST TO US, AND I WANT TO SUPPORT THAT FULLY AND KEEP UP WITH THAT AND GOING INTO THE FUTURE.
ON APRIL THE 4TH, THE BAYFRONT COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY IS HAVING A PUBLIC HEARING. THEY ARE DUE TO DISSOLVE IN MAY, AND THEY ARE ASKING THE PUBLIC FOR INPUT REGARDING THIS.
AND IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO BE HEARD IN TERMS OF HOW IS OUR BAYFRONT BEING DEVELOPED, WHAT'S LEFT TO BE DONE AND OFFER SOME, AGAIN, BE PART OF THE SOLUTION.
NO. AND THAT'LL BE AT THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING ON THE AGENDA APRIL THE 4TH.
ALSO ON APRIL APRIL 4TH IS THE SUSTAINABILITY AWARENESS MONTH PROCLAMATION.
SO GOING BEFORE COUNCIL, IF Y'ALL WANT TO JOIN 6:00.
AND USUALLY IT'S RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING.
SO I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PROCLAMATIONS ARE AT THE BEGINNING, BUT SHOULD BE ROUGHLY 6056 TEN USUALLY.
SO THAT'S APRIL 4TH IF Y'ALL WANT TO JOIN AS WELL.
[01:00:02]
AND IF THERE'S NO OTHER BUSINESS, ANY ANY COMMENTS OR INFORMATION FROM THE STAFF? I HAVE A QUESTION.WHEN WE WERE AT THE MRC CELEBRATION THE MAYOR SAID THAT PALM BAY HAD A LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE. HAS IT BECOME AN ORDINANCE? YES. AWESOME.
WE APPROVED THE LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE.
WELL, LET ME BACK UP FOR TWO, I THINK TWO DIFFERENT YEARS NOW, MAYBE THREE.
WE'VE GONE TO THE MRS LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCE.
YOU KNOW, THAT GAVE US SOME GOOD INSIGHT ON DIFFERENT THINGS.
SO WE DID CREATE A WE CREATED A LID MANUAL.
WE IT WAS PART OF THE ADOPTION OF THE ORDINANCE.
WE STARTED OUT WITH IT BEING A VOLUNTARY CONCEPT SO THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S PUT BEFORE DEVELOPERS.
BUT THE LAST I CHECKED, WHICH WAS PROBABLY FIVE, SIX MONTHS AGO, NO ONE HAD VOLUNTARILY TAKEN US UP ON THE OFFER BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S LIKE INCENTIVES, RIGHT? IF YOU DO THIS AND YOU GET LIKE, WHATEVER IT IS, MORE PARKING SPACES OR SOMETHING.
SO I'VE KIND OF BEEN WAITING FOR MY CAPACITY TO REBUILD AND BOTH THE PUBLIC WORKS AND GROWTH MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENTS, BECAUSE THEY'RE BOTH CRITICAL IN, IN THE, THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS BECAUSE ONCE AND SO THAT I TO JUST GIVE YOU A LITTLE BACKGROUND WE'VE WE'VE RESET A LOT OF THE STAFF IN PUBLIC WORKS AND LEADERSHIP POSITIONS WHO HAVE DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES ON THINGS.
SO THAT'S BEEN KIND OF STABILIZED.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT HAD TO REHIRE PLANNING PEOPLE TO.
THAT'S HOW PLANNERS NOT PLANNING PEOPLE TO HANDLE THE WORKLOAD.
AND NOW THAT THEY'RE JUST ABOUT FULLY STAFFED, WE CAN KIND OF GO BACK TO THAT.
BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'VE ALWAYS SAID INTERNALLY IS WE'LL TRY IT OUT VOLUNTARILY, BUT IF NOTHING'S HAPPENING, WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT DO WE WANT TO DO NEXT? AND THAT HAS TO GO TO COUNCIL TO POLICY DECISION.
I HAVE YET TO SEE A DEVELOPER THAT'S, YOU KNOW, BROUGHT THAT IN AND SAID, YES, I'M DOING THIS.
I HOPE TO BE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED ONE DAY SOON.
BUT BACK TO THE CAPACITY OF PUBLIC WORKS.
THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT TO DOING.
I KNOW ERIC AND I HAVE TALKED ABOUT IT.
THERE'S DEFINITELY AN INTEREST AND A WILLINGNESS.
BRIEFLY, IF I CAN GO THROUGH THE OTHER THINGS OYSTER, THE OYSTER BEDS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
ACTUALLY, I'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH A LADY NAMED OLIVIA AT THE BREVARD ZOO.
I GAVE HER THE GO AHEAD AFTER I CHECKED WITH, YOU KNOW, SOME OF OUR TEAMS. SO SHE KNOWS THAT WE'RE WE'RE READY TO WORK WITH THEM.
I THINK THAT'S MAYBE COMING LATER THIS YEAR.
SO I'LL TAKE THAT BACK TO OUR PUBLIC INFORMATION TEAM AND AND ASK THEM TO.
TO HELP ME WITH THAT. WE'RE GOING TO SAY SOMETHING, ERIC.
I THINK THEY START EVALUATING IN APRIL OR MAY.
IS THAT WHEN THEY'RE OKAY? COOL. YEAH. SO WE CAN DEFINITELY TOUT THAT BECAUSE I DON'T THINK MANY PEOPLE KNOW THAT THEY'RE ALREADY EXISTING.
YEAH. YOU KNOW, OYSTER OYSTER GARDENS OR YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THE PROPER TERM IS.
THE TRASH BASH, I WAS JUST GOING TO SORT OF PIGGYBACK OFF OF WHAT WHAT WAS ALREADY SAID.
WE'VE WE'VE PARTICIPATED EVERY YEAR FOR LIKE THE LAST 4 OR 5 YEARS THAT I'M AWARE OF.
IT'S JUST THIS YEAR BECAUSE OF, AGAIN, STAFFING CHANGES.
WE JUST DIDN'T HAVE THE CAPACITY.
BUT WE'RE HIRING A GRANTS PERSON.
WE'RE HIRING A ESSENTIALLY A PUBLIC INFORMATION COORDINATOR PERSON IN PUBLIC WORKS.
AND A LOT OF IT HAS SYNERGY WITH WHAT YOU ALL ARE DOING AS A BOARD.
SO THAT'S GOING TO BE EXCITING.
I WILL LOOK AT THE TREE PLANTING GRANT.
I THINK THAT'S THAT'S ONE THAT WAS NOT ON OUR RADAR.
SO IT WILL BE ON THE LIST FOR OUR NEW GRANTS.
A PERSON SHE CAN HELP US OUT WITH THAT BUILDING.
LIKE THEY HAD SAINT AUGUSTINE GRASS, AND I'D ALREADY TOLD THE I HAD ALREADY TOLD THE TEAM.
I SAID, WHY ARE WE PUTTING IN IRRIGATION? AND THEN WHEN I LOOKED AT THE PLANTS, I UNDERSTOOD WHY.
SO ANYWAY, JUST SO YOU KNOW, THAT'S BEING CORRECTED.
I TOLD HIM, YOU GOT TO HAVE NATIVE GRASSES.
YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT HAVING IRRIGATION.
WE'RE NOT PLAYING SAINT AUGUSTINE GRASS.
SO THEY'RE RETOOLING THAT PARTICULAR LITTLE PROJECT.
SO MARCH 21ST, I DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S ONE NEXT WEEK ON THE FOURTH.
OH, WELL, I GOT A NOTICE FROM THE CITY THAT IT'S A PUBLIC HEARING.
[01:05:01]
I GUESS THE ORDINANCE TO DISSOLVE.BUT NOT IT'S NOT A CRA MEETING.
IT'S BEEN FOR YEARS AND PERSONALLY, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT CONTINUE ON UNTIL WE ARE COMPLETELY.
AND RIGHT NOW IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO YOU SAID WITH THE ORDINANCE AND SOME OF THE THE NEW STAFFING OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY IS A GREAT TIME TO START SEEING LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT IN THIS WHOLE AREA.
THE COUNTY SAID YOU WILL NOT EXTEND YOUR CRA.
SO SO I DON'T HAVE AN OPTION TO EXTEND IT.
BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN I CAN'T DO LID IN PLACES CITYWIDE, REGARDLESS OF BCR OR NOT, YOU KNOW.
WELL, I WON'T WRITE MY I'LL STOP MY LETTER THEN ABOUT THAT.
AND BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S BEEN ON MY MIND IS SOMEHOW UTILIZING CITIZENS AND KEEPING THE MOMENTUM OF INTEREST IN THAT, AND YOU'RE DOING IT TOO.
SO I THINK YOU HAVE GOOD IDEAS AND GOOD WAYS OF MAKING THINGS HAPPEN.
SO I WANT TO JUST BE A PART OF THAT AND ENCOURAGE IT.
AND I'M VERY EXCITED AT JUST KNOWING IT'S COMING.
YOU MENTIONED THE DEVELOPERS WHO BASICALLY AREN'T DOING THAT KIND OF SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES YET.
THANK YOU. I ACTUALLY MET THE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THAT AT THE MARINE RESOURCES COUNCIL.
LAGOON HOUSE 20 YEAR CELEBRATION THAT WE WERE AT LAST WEEK THAT JANE WAS MENTIONING.
THEY GAVE ME THEIR BUSINESS CARD. SO WE'RE GOING TO BE FOLLOWING UP WITH THEM BECAUSE I BELIEVE THEY'RE THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT WANTED TO LOOK TO PUT MORE OF THOSE ARTIFICIAL REEFS ALONG THE BLUFFS WHERE MARINE WHERE THE WHERE THE LAGOON HOUSE IS.
THE WAVE MOVEMENTS THAT THEN ERODES THE SHORE, WHICH THEN CAUSES OTHER PROBLEMS, SO WE CAN HAVE MORE OF A NATURAL WAY TO PRESERVE THE THE SHORELINE AND THE BLUFFS, AS I UNDERSTAND IT. BUT YEAH, I'LL BE WE'LL BE TALKING TO THEM MORE BECAUSE WE JUST WE JUST RECENTLY MET THEM.
SO THAT WAS KIND OF COOL. VERY COOL. SO I APPRECIATE IT.
COOL. ANYBODY ELSE? ALL RIGHT, WELL, WE'LL GO AHEAD.
OH. DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR YOU WANTED ON THE NEXT MONTH'S AGENDA? ANYTHING NEW.
I LIKE TO CONTINUE THE UPDATES.
SUZANNE DOES A PHENOMENAL JOB AND ALL OF YOU DO TOO, SO IT'S HELPFUL.
AND CAN WE HAVE NEMO GARDEN ON THERE AS A ONGOING TOPIC? YEAH. THANKS.
PLEASE. WHAT WOULD AN AFTER ACTION REVIEW OF THE FESTIVAL POSSIBLY BE A DECENT GOOD? WELL. IS THERE ANY IDEAS? MAYBE PRESENTATION OR IS THERE A PRESENTATION LINED UP? I HAD FORWARDED PRESENTERS OR DID YOU GET THOSE OR POSSIBLE PRESENTERS? BEFORE I SHOULD FORWARD THEM.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE A PRESENTATION ON THE NEW LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCES? WELL, I WOULD I CAN CERTAINLY GIVE YOU A BRIEFING ON IT NEXT TIME OR SEND YOU COPIES OF IT AND TALK TO YOU ABOUT IT, BECAUSE THERE'S A WHAT'S KIND OF INTERESTING IS THERE'S LIKE
[01:10:03]
A LITTLE MATRIX THAT MAKES IT EASY TO TO ACCESS THE INFORMATION, I GUESS I WOULD SAY.BUT THE ORDINANCE WAS ADOPTED, I THINK, ABOUT A YEAR AGO NOW.
SO NOW WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT DIFFERENTLY.
IT'D BE GREAT TO REVISIT THAT FOR SURE.
WE WERE JUST SAYING, I WONDER IF THE MONTGOMERY CONSTRUCTION.
I WONDER IF THEY WOULD BE A POSSIBLE.
YEAH, I HAVE THE CARD BECAUSE I JUST MET THEM, LIKE I SAID.
WE'LL SEE IF THEY MIGHT BE AVAILABLE.
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO'VE BEEN ON THE BOARD FOR A LITTLE WHILE, THEY DID THE ALL THE LIKE ENERGY EFFICIENCY RETROFITS OF THINGS AND ALSO THINGS LIKE LOW FLOW FIXTURES AND STUFF AT MULTIPLE CITY FACILITIES, MAYBE 2016, 2018, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
ANYWAY. BUT THEY ANNUALLY THEY GIVE A REPORT TO US THAT TELLS US HOW WE'RE DOING.
SO I'M GOING TO CHECK WITH THEM.
BUT THEY COULD BE SOMEONE ON YOUR LIST TOO, YOU KNOW? AND PLUS WHATEVER YOUR LIST WAS.
JANE, WE CAN LOOK AT THAT AS WELL.
GO AHEAD. OH, I WOULD LIKE TO PUT IN THE FOREFRONT.
ONCE WE DO THE, WE ACCOMPLISH THE FAIR TO LOOK FORWARD AND TO REALLY EMPHASIZE THE MANDATORY SEWER AND WATER HOOKUP.
I'M VERY CONCERNED, AS A CITIZEN THAT I'M GLAD TO HEAR A GRANT WRITER IS COMING ON BOARD.
I THINK IT'S CRITICAL THAT OUR CITIZENS KNOW THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS, AND ALSO THAT THEIR CITY IS WORKING TO MINIMIZE THE FINANCIAL IMPACT. AND I WANT US TO HELP IN MINIMIZING THE FINANCIAL.
IMPACT FOR OUR CITIZENS AS WE MOVE FORWARD.
AWESOME. WELL, IN CLOSING THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.
AND THANKS FOR COMING BACK. TWO MONTHS IN A ROW.
SO YOU'LL HAVE TO COME BACK A THIRD.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK AND KEEPING US UPDATED AND KEEPING A HERD OF CATS IN LINE.
THANK YOU.
