IT HAS BEEN A TRUE PLEASURE WORKING WITH HER AND SHARING THE SAME PASSION SHE HAS FOR THESE STUDENTS.

[Presentation]

[00:16:21]

[INAUDIBLE] IT'S YOURS. ALL RIGHT. GOOD  EVENING CITY MANAGER, MAYOR, CITIZENS OF PALM BAY, COUNCIL. THANK YOU FOR INVITING US TO SPEAK THIS EVENING. WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH THIS VERY QUICKLY. WHAT IS NOT BEING READ OR THE SLIDES WE SKIP OVER THERE ARE NOTES IN THE PRESENTATION YOU'VE BEEN GIVEN. BREVARD HOMELESS COALITION IS THE CONTINUUM OF CARE FOR BREVARD COUNTY SUPPORTING PROVIDERS OF HOMELESS AND HOMELESS PREVENTION SERVICES AS DESIGNATED BY THE STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS. ALL COUNTIES HAVE A CONTINUUM OF CARE. BHC HAS KIND OF LIKE TWO PORTIONS TO OUR AGENCY. THERE'S AN ADMINISTRATIVE SIDE THAT PROVIDES A MULTITUDE OF OPERATIONAL SERVICES HAS ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AND THEN WE ALSO MANAGE A NETWORK OF ORGANIZATIONS THAT COLLABORATE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES. SO WE PARTICIPATE IN MEETINGS AND EVENTS THAT ALLOW US TO COLLABORATE ON PROJECTS THAT IDENTIFY NEEDS AND CLOSE GAPS IN SERVICES ALLOWING US TO TACKLE MANY CONTRIBUTORS TO HOMELESSNESS AT ONCE AND WE DO THIS BY BUILDING PARTNERSHIPS. OUR CONTINUUM OF CARE IS NOT FUNDED LIKE OTHER COCS. SOME COCS OWN AND MANAGE THEIR OWN AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS. SOME ARE FUNDED BY THE COUNTY OR BY HOSPITALS. SOME COUNTIES IMPOSE TAXES ON SERVICES THAT GO TO FUND THE COC. WE DO NOT HAVE ANY OF THOSE IN BREVARD COUNTY. SO IT'S A SERIOUS MISCONCEPTION THAT WE HAVE MONEY BECAUSE THAT IMPLIES WE SHOULD BE DOING MORE THAN WE ARE AND WE'RE ACTUALLY DOING A LOT WITH VERY LITTLE. WE ARE CLASSIFIED AS A HIGH PERFORMING COC. WE OPERATE ON A SMALL STAFFING GRANT FROM THE STATE AND HAVE TWO EMPLOYEES. WE'RE AFFORDED 2 TO 3 PERCENT FOR ADMINISTRATIVE FEES ON THE GRANTS WE REPORT ON MONTHLY TO THE STATE.

OUR PROVIDERS ARE AFFORDED 1 TO 2 PERCENT. WE RECEIVE NOTHING FROM THE SOS PROGRAM. OUR INCOME IS SHOWN ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDE AS DISPERSED AMONG THE PROVIDERS TO BRING SERVICES INTO THE COMMUNITY. IT IS IMPERATIVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT BHC BRINGS THIS FUNDING INTO BREVARD COUNTY. IT WOULD NOT BE PULLED DOWN FROM THE STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS WITHOUT THE CONTINUUM OF CARE IN PLACE.

ADDITIONALLY THE GRANTS WE RECEIVE REQUIRE COLLABORATION. WE WOULD NOT OTHERWISE RECEIVE THEM. THESE FUNDS ACTUALLY BRING DOWN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM THE COMMUNITY. THEY LEVERAGE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM THE COMMUNITY. BHC PARTNERS WITH 211 BREVARD TO MANAGE THE HMIS DATA BASE. 211 BREVARD IS A REFERRAL AGENCY AND NOT A SERVICE PROVIDER. IT OPERATES PARTIALLY WITH VOLUNTEERS SO CALLERS COULD BE PLACED ON HOLD FOR A PERIOD OF TIME WHILE THEY WAIT

[00:20:01]

WHEN SOMEONE IS DIRECTED AWAY FROM THE PROCESS OR CRITICAL INFORMATION IS WITHHELD AS TO HOW THEY BEGIN THE PROCESS IT HURTS THEM AND IT HURTS OUR COMMUNITY.

HMIS IS A DATABASE WHERE 29 AGENCIES ENTER INFORMATION ABOUT HOUSING AND SUPPORTIVE SERVICE PROJECTS. THE NUMBERS FROM HMIS ARE SMALL IN COMPARISON TO THE NUMBERS WE SERVE. THIS HOWEVER IS WHAT WE ARE MANDATED BY HUD TO REPORT. SO THIS IS WHAT PULLS DOWN THE FEDERAL FUNDING AND IT'S ONLY A FRACTION OF WHAT OUR PROVIDERS ACTUALLY DO. IT HELPS PREVENT DUPLICATION OF SERVICES AND IT'S WHERE WE DRAW OUR LIST FROM THAT ACTUALLY PLACES PEOPLE INTO HOUSING, THAT CHAT LIST I JUST MENTIONED. THESE THREE PROGRAMS ALONE HAVE HOUSED 537 PEOPLE. AND THE COST OF SERVICES PROVIDED TO PALM BAY WAS NEARLY 404,000. I'LL REMIND YOU THIS IS  JUST THE LAST 12 MONTHS AND THIS IS ONLY PALM BAY. THE TOTAL CALLS FOR THIS WAS ACTUALLY OVER 4,000 FOR VARIOUS NEEDS BUT OUT OF THE HOUSING REQUESTS ONLY SEVEN PEOPLE HAD SLEPT OUTSIDE OR IN A TENT THE PREVIOUS NIGHT. THE NUMBERS DO NOT INDICATE A LACK OF NEED. WE KNOW FROM THE POINT IN TIME COUNT AND FROM COORDINATED OUTREACH THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO NEED HOUSING SERVICES IN PALM BAY. THIS DATA TELLS US PEOPLE ARE NOT BEING CONNECTED TO THE RESOURCES THAT ARE ALREADY IN PLACE TO ASSIST THEM. 2 1 1 IS THE REFERRAL AGENCY THAT STARTS THE COORDINATED ENTRY PROCESS THAT BEGINS TO CONNECT PEOPLE TO THESE SERVICES. I CAN ASSURE YOU NOTHING HAPPENS OVERNIGHT AND FUNDS ARE LIMITED BUT THIS IS WHY WE COLLABORATE. NO WRONG DOOR ENSURES THAT IF A PERSON WALKS INTO ANY SERVICE PROVIDER THEY WILL BE CONNECTED TO SERVICES BUT IT IS IMPERATIVE PEOPLE ARE EDUCATED ABOUT AND NOT DETERRED FROM USING THE COORDINATED ENTRY SYSTEM THAT CONNECTS PEOPLE TO OUR SERVICES. OUR HOMELESS SERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEM IS NOT BROKEN. IT HAS BEEN STIFLED AND THESE NUMBERS SHOW IT. THESE ARE THE HOUSING NEEDS OF CALLERS COMING INTO 211. THESE ARE THE REFERRALS PROVIDED TO THOSE CALLERS. AND KEEP IN MIND THIS IS ONLY THE 211 LIST SO THERE'S OTHER LISTS. 211 RELIES ON PARTNER AGENCIES TO ASSIST WITH THEIR REFERRAL PROCESS. PEOPLE NEED TO BE DIRECTED TO THE COORDINATED ENTRY SYSTEM FOR BREVARD. THIS IS A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF THE COORDINATED ENTRY PROCESS. THE FOLLOWING ARE JUST A FEW OF OUR PROVIDERS. SOME USE HMIS AND SOME DON'T. THIS IS WHERE YOU BEGIN TO SEE THE BIG PICTURE OF HOW MUCH THE COALITION IS DOING IN YOUR COMMUNITY. GENESIS HOUSE HAS SHELTERED BETWEEN 55 AND 70 WOMEN AND CHILDREN. FAMILY PROMISE OF BREVARD CONDUCTS OUTREACH SERVICES ALL OVER THE COUNTY TO PROVIDE SHELTER AFTERCARE AND PREVENTION DIVERSION SERVICES FOR FAMILIES.

FAMILY PROMISE HAS FIELDED 447 CALLS FOR SHELTER. 112 OF THEM BEING FROM SOUTH BREVARD. FIVE FAMILIES HAVE ENTERED INTO SHELTER AND 39 HOUSEHOLDS WERE PREVENTED FROM HOMELESSNESS OR RAPIDLY RE-HOUSED. BREVARD HEALTH ALLIANCE DOES NOT USE HMIS. THEY'VE PROVIDED SERVICES TO OVER 21,000 PEOPLE IN PALM BAY. WITH OVER 30,000 CASES HANDLED BREVARD HEALTH ALLIANCE IS CURRENTLY PROVIDING SERVICES TO APPROXIMATELY 2500 BREVARD COUNTY CITIZENS THAT PRESENT AS HOMELESS. BHC DOES NOT DIRECTLY FUND BHA AS IT DOES SOME OF THE OTHER AGENCIES BUT IT'S AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF HOW THIS NETWORK COLLABORATES TO BRING THESE SERVICES TO YOUR COMMUNITY. THE SALVATION ARMY PROVIDES SHELTER AND OTHER SERVICES TO HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN AND SINGLE WOMEN. THEY HAVE SHELTERED 27 WOMEN AND CHILDREN. CATHOLIC CHARITY NUMBER FOR THESE SERVICES TOTALS 8,754 HOUSEHOLDS AND ALMOST 28,000 INDIVIDUALS. THESE SERVICE NUMBERS FROM CATHOLIC CHARITIES ARE UNDUPLICATED AND ENTERED IN HMIS EXCEPT FOR THE COUNSELING WHICH THEY HAD THREE FROM PALM BAY. 22 HOUSEHOLDS AND 65 INDIVIDUALS WERE ASSISTED WITH HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION SERVICES. THE VOA CONDUCTS OUTREACH THROUGHOUT BREVARD AND HAVE HANDLED 233 PALM BAY CASES IN THE PAST YEAR ASSISTING 425 PEOPLE. CHALLENGE GRANT FUNDING ALSO ALLOWS THEM TO ASSIST CIVILIANS. OUR COMMUNITY SPECIALISTS HAVE BARRIERS TO DOING THEIR JOB. IN PALM BAY THEY WILL MEET WITH CLIENTS AT MCDONALD'S, TACO BELL, CUMBERLAND FARMS AND OTHER PUBLIC LOCATIONS. THESE ARE NOT ALWAYS SUITABLE DUE TO PERSONAL SAFETY CONCERNS, LIGHTING, WEATHER, LOCATION AND UNINTENTIONAL VIOLATIONS OF PRIVACY HIPPA OR OTHERWISE. IT'S ALSO EMBARRASSING FOR

[00:25:04]

THIS DOESN'T SOLVE THE WHOLE PROBLEM BUT IT WOULD BE ASSISTANCE. WE DO PARTNER WITH A LOT OF LOCAL CHURCHES AND THEY HAVE HELPED US OUT A GREAT DEAL. SO THERE IS ALSO SOME BARRIERS TO THAT BECAUSE SOME OF OUR CLIENTS THAT WE SERVE ARE LIMITED AND HAVE COURT IMPOSED RESTRICTIONS TO WHERE THEY CAN TRAVEL. WE NEED TO SERVE THEM AS WELL. THE ONLY WAY WE CAN SUCCEED WITH LIMITED SOURCES IS TO FORM A STRONG PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITIES AND GARNER COMMUNITY SUPPORT. HOMELESSNESS IS A BYPRODUCT OF MANY DIFFERENT ISSUES. THE UNDERLYING ISSUES MUST BE ADDRESSED THROUGH CASE MANAGEMENT OR PEOPLE WILL FALL BACK INTO HOMELESSNESS. THE WAY WE STRETCH LIMITED RESOURCES IS TO DO THIS THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS AND COLLABORATION.

THE ONE THING THAT WOULD BE A GAME CHANGER FOR PALM BAY IS A STRATEGICALLY LOCATED SOCIAL SERVICES CENTER. THE BREVARD HOMELESS COALITION DESIRES TO ENTER INTO A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY OF PALM BAY TO ESTABLISH SUCH A RESOURCE CENTER FROM WHERE WE CAN WORK AN AGGRESSIVE OUTREACH PROGRAM THAT WILL HELP US HELP YOU MEET THE NEEDS OF YOUR COMMUNITY. YOU  GUYS MAY NEED TO START THAT FOR ME. 

[00:30:05]

I APPRECIATE IT. SO MOST OF THE SLIDES AND THINGS THAT YOU'RE SHOWING IS LIKE MORE FAMILY ORIENTED MORE TOWARDS THE CHILDREN. ARE YOU ABLE TO PROVIDE SERVICES FOR THOSE WHO MAY OR MAY HAVE HAD A MISDEMEANOR OR A FELONY IN THE PAST OR IS IT KIND OF HARD BEING THAT THEY HAVE THAT ON THEIR RECORD? WE WORK WITH THAT POPULATION. IF YOU COULD COME UP BECAUSE WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO. I CAN TELL YOU THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING SINCE 2015 AND WE'VE HOUSED OVER 100 PEOPLE AND THE MAJORITY OF THOSE FOLKS WERE SINGLE INDIVIDUALS. SOME OF THEM HAD CONVICTED MURDER CHARGES.

WE'VE HAD BATTERY. WE'VE HAD ASSAULT. WE'VE HAD DRUG CHARGES. WE'VE HAD ALMOST ANYTHING YOU CAN POSSIBLY THINK OF. AND WE HAVE SOME REALLY AMAZING TEAM MEMBERS. SOME OF THEM ARE STAFF. SOME ARE VOLUNTEERS AND THEY WORK REALLY CLOSELY WITH THE LANDLORDS AND THE COMMUNITY AND THEY GET THEM ON BOARD. THEY DON'T JUST TRY AND GET THEM A TENANT. THEY DON'T JUST TRY TO PUT SOMEBODY IN THERE TO GET THEM RENT. THEY TRY TO GET THEM INVOLVED IN THEIR COMMUNITY KNOWING THAT IF YOU DON'T HAVE THAT PERSON OUT ON THE STREET AND YOU CAN GET THEM REINTEGRATED BACK INTO SOCIETY IT'S GOING TO BE BETTER FOR YOUR COMMUNITY. SO WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT IN THE LAST COUPLE  YEARS AND BE REALLY SUCCESSFUL EVEN WITH THE CRIMINAL BACKGROUNDS. KEEP GOING.  KEEP GOING. THEY'RE HERE FOR A REASON. I ALSO WORK WITH THAT POPULATION.

AS A MATTER OF FACT JUST TWO DAYS AGO I MET WITH TWO MEN THAT ACTUALLY INITIALLY WE CONNECTED WITH THEM BACK IN THE POINT IN TIME COUNT EARLIER THIS YEAR. THEY WERE MEN. SO THEY ARE THE INDIVIDUAL POPULATION THAT YOU'RE TALKING WITH AND WHAT WE TRY TO DO IS CONNECT THEM WITH THE DIFFERENT AGENCIES HERE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO ASSIST THEM. ALSO THERE IS. I DON'T WANT TO GET AHEAD OF MYSELF BUT THERE IS HELP ON THE HORIZON WITH REENTRY HERE IN BREVARD COUNTY THIS YEAR SO THAT'S SOMETHING I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT. WITH REENTRY. SO I TRY TO WORK WITH PEOPLE WITH THEIR PROBATION OFFICERS. SO IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS DIFFICULT BECAUSE A LOT OF PLACES DON'T WANT TO WORK WITH PEOPLE WITH FELONIES. BUT WE DO TRY TO FIND A LIST WITH DIFFERENT  LANDLORDS THAT WILL WORK WITH PEOPLE THAT DO HAVE BACKGROUND BECAUSE YOU KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE IN OUR AREA DO HAVE CRIMINAL BACKGROUNDS BUT WE ARE ABLE TO WORK TOGETHER AND HOUSE THOSE PEOPLE AS WELL. THANK YOU. CAN I ADD JUST SOMETHING? I KNOW THAT WE WORK WITH FAMILIES PRIMARILY BUT A GOOD MAJORITY OF OUR FAMILIES HAVE EVICTION AND CRIMINAL HISTORIES AS WELL. SO A LOT OF OUR WORK IS IN COLLABORATIONS AROUND FINDING HOUSING THAT WILL ACCEPT THE FAMILIES THAT WE SERVE BECAUSE WE'VE LITERALLY HAD PARENTS ENTER WITH ANKLE MONITORS AND PROBATION OFFICERS AND THEY HAVE A LOT OF BARRIERS TO HOUSING. SO IT'S A CHALLENGE TO RE-HOUSE A FAMILY WITH THAT KIND OF A HISTORY. NEXT WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IS YOUR BIGGEST OBSTACLE OR STRUGGLE IN HOUSING HOMELESS OR MAKING SURE THEY DON'T FALL BACK TO WHERE THEY WERE AND ENDING BACK UP IN THE STREETS? YEAH. I WOULD SAY THE LONG TERM SUPPORT. CASE MANAGEMENT AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IS SOMETHING THAT'S HUGE. WE'VE SEEN FOLKS FALL BACK IN WHEN THEY DIDN'T HAVE A CASE MANAGER. I ACTUALLY HAD WRITTEN FOR LATER ONE GENTLEMAN THAT WE'D WORKED WITH SINCE 2015 AND HE WAS DOING REALLY GREAT. HE WENT THROUGH THE PROGRAMS THAT HE NEEDED TO AND THAT HE WANTED TO AND THEN CASE MANAGEMENT WAS ABLE TO STEP AWAY. THROUGH NO FAULT OF HIS OWN HE LOST HIS HOUSING. THE OWNER SOLD AND THEN THE NEW PERSON KICKED HIM OUT AND HE DIDN'T REACH BACK OUT TO US. BY THE TIME WE REALIZED THAT HE WAS BACK IN THE STREETS THINGS HAD KIND OF FALLEN AWAY. WE'VE ACTUALLY STARTED BACK WITH HIM AGAIN AND HE'S BACK INTO HOUSING AND HE'S BACK DOING REALLY GREAT. SO THOSE CASE MANAGEMENT SUPPORTS AND BEING CONNECTED TO THEIR CHURCHES AND BEING CONNECTED TO THEIR CITIES AND THE THINGS THAT MAKE IT HOME THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT THE FOLKS NEED AND THEY NEED TO KNOW THAT THEY'RE PART OF THE COMMUNITY JUST LIKE ANYBODY ELSE. I THINK WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS EARLIER. LACK OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS SOMETHING THAT WE ALL STRUGGLE WITH. AND JUST IN THE COUPLE YEARS I'VE BEEN AT THIS JOB  WE'VE SEEN JUST WITH CLIENTS PLACES HAVE GONE UP JUST IN A YEAR OR SO TO WHERE

[00:35:03]

I AM A PALM BAY RESIDENT MYSELF THAT: ARE YOU WILLING TO GO TO TITUSVILLE? YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE FORCED TO LOOK AT ANOTHER PLACE BECAUSE YOU CAN'T AFFORD AN AREA THAT YOU LIVED IN. SO THAT DEFINITELY IS SOMETHING THAT I KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE BUT JUST AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS SOMETHING THAT IS DEFINITELY DIFFICULT SO.

I JUST WANT. I HAD A QUESTION IN REGARDS TO YOUR DATA GATHERING. ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH ALL THE CAMPS THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE IN OUR CITY AND HOW FREQUENT DO YOU VISIT THEM? WE FREQUENT THE CAMPS ALL OVER THE CITY OF PALM BAY, FROM PALM BAY RIGHT NEXT TO MELBOURNE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO GRANT AND EVERYWHERE IN BETWEEN. SO WE KNOW OF CAMPS OVER IN ORANGE BLOSSOM. WE KNOW OF CAMPS WAY OUT BY HERITAGE. WE ACTUALLY JUST RECENTLY IN THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS WE'VE BEEN GOING OUT TO ONE OF THE CAMPS OVER OFF OF ORANGE BLOSSOM. I THINK THERE'S BEEN A NUMBER OF US PROBABLY HALF A DOZEN OF US THAT HAVE GONE OUT THERE. THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF PEOPLE OUT THERE. DIFFERENT PATHWAYS FOR THEM OUT OF HOMELESSNESS BUT IT'S A MATTER OF CONNECTING THEM AND WORKING WITH THEM AND HAVING THEM UNDERSTAND AND ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO COME BACK. SO ON A WEEKLY BASIS HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU GO TO THE? I'VE BEEN TO THAT CAMP TWICE THIS WEEK AND MY TEAM. THERE'S THREE OF THEM.

THEY'VE BEEN OUT TO DIFFERENT CAMPS IN PALM BAY PROBABLY TWO OR THREE TIMES THIS WEEK ALONE. SO YOU KEEP A DATABASE IN REGARDS TO YOUR VISIT ON A YEARLY BASIS? NOT A DATABASE BUT WE DO KEEP INTERNAL NOTES. IT HAS PERSONAL INFORMATION. WE KEEP A GOOGLE DRIVE SO WITHIN OUR OWN AGENCY BUT THEN WE CAN ALSO COLLABORATE WITH OUR PARTNERS TO BE ABLE TO SAY OKAY, THIS IS THE PEOPLE THAT WE'RE SERVING AND THESE ARE THEIR NEEDS. BUT IT'S GONNA DEPEND ON WHAT INFORMATION AND WHAT WE CAN SHARE WITH THEM. OKAY. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CAMPS ARE BEING VISITED. OUR INTENTION IS TO. WE DO HAVE AN OUTREACH COMMITTEE BUT THE AGENCIES WORK ON THIS OUTREACH COMMITTEE VOLUNTARILY. SO WE ARE EXPANDING THAT NOW SO THAT WE CAN BE MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH OUR OUTREACH THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. BUT WE DO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE AREAS THAT WE NEED TO GET TO IN PALM BAY. OUR PROVIDER AGENCIES HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH INDIVIDUALS IN A NUMBER OF THE CAMPS IN PALM BAY. IN FACT THEY HAD ONE A COUPLE MONTHS AGO AT17 PEOPLE AND I BELIEVE THEY HAVE ALMOST ALL OF THEM HOUSED ALREADY. SO AND WE COLLABORATED WITH THE HOUSING AUTHORITY OF BREVARD COUNTY ON THAT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS COUNCIL? I'M GONNA FOLLOW UP OFF OF WHAT YOU'RE SAYING MAYOR. SO YOU'RE VISITING THE CAMPS AND EVERYTHING AND I HEARD YOU MENTION COOPERATION. IS THAT MEANING LIKE THEM TRUSTING IN YOU SO THEY'LL COOPERATE AND WORK WITH YOU ON A CONSISTENT BASIS OR AFTER YOU MEET WITH THEM THE FIRST TIME YOU FOLLOW UP A WEEK LATER OR? YOU GET WHAT I'M TRYING TO? YES.

MY SHORT ANSWER TO THAT WOULD BE YES AND BEING ABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THEIR THEIR NEEDS ARE AND CONNECT THEM TO THE RIGHT RESOURCES. IF WE FIND THAT THERE'S RESOURCES FOR THAT. IF THERE'S A FAMILY THERE'S RESOURCES FOR THAT. IF THEY'RE 62 AND OVER IF THEY'RE DISABLED DEPENDING ON WHAT THEIR SITUATION IS IS GOING TO DEPEND ON WHO WE'RE ABLE TO REFER THEM TO. SOME FOLKS DON'T HAVE INCOME. WE CAN STILL WORK WITH THEM. SOME FOLKS HAVE LIMITED INCOME. IT JUST DEPENDS ON WHAT THEIR SITUATION IS. BUT CONTINUING TO GO BACK OUT AND LET THEM KNOW. WE'RE ONLY SO MANY PEOPLE. WE CAN ONLY SEE SO MANY PEOPLE. AND THERE'S A LOT MORE PEOPLE IN THE CITY OF PALM BAY THAN THERE ARE. A LOT MORE PEOPLE HOMELESS IN THE CITY OF PALM BAY THAN THERE ARE US TO GO OUT AND SEE THEM ALL. SO WE DEFINITELY NEED MORE WORK TO BE ABLE TO GET TO ALL OF THEM. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SO I WAS GOING TO BRING THIS UP DURING COUNCIL REPORTS. IN COUNCIL REPORTS I VISITED THE NANA'S HOUSE. NEGLECTED ABUSED NEEDY ABANDONED CHILDREN. AND I KNOW THAT THEY HAVE I THINK 100 PERCENT OF THEIR VOLUNTEERS ARE THEIR WORKFORCE. ARE YOU ALL OPEN TO ACCEPTING VOLUNTEERS LIKE HIRING VOLUNTEERS TO VISIT THESE CAMPS AS WELL AND DOCUMENTING? THAT WAY WE CAN BE MORE EFFICIENT WITH OUR TIME BECAUSE I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT CARE ABOUT THE HOMELESS AND TRYING TO GET THEM HOUSED BUT THEY JUST DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT AGENCIES THE SOUTH BREVARD SHARING CENTER INCLUDED THAT WOULD BE MORE THAN WILLING TO HELP TRAIN FOLKS. GOING OUT AND NOT KNOWING HOW TO WORK WITH THE

[00:40:03]

ONE OF THE THINGS I THINK WE LACK IS A RESOURCE CENTER WHERE WE CAN HAVE A DATABASE WHERE WE CAN HAVE A MAP. BECAUSE THEY CAN VISIT A CAMP ONE MONTH AND THE CAMP WON'T BE THERE THE NEXT MONTH AND THEN ALSO I THINK CASE MANAGEMENT IS IS THE NAIL ON THE HEAD WITH THIS THING BECAUSE WE HAVE TO HAVE THE FOLLOW THROUGH. WE DON'T HAVE THE FOLLOW THROUGH OR THE RESOURCE CENTER. ONE OF THE REASONS I WANTED THIS TO HAPPEN HERE IS BECAUSE COUNCIL REALLY EITHER NEEDS TO GET BEHIND A RESOURCE CENTER OR REALLY HAND THIS BACK TO THE NON-PROFITS AND BE LIKE WE REALLY WANT YOU GUYS TO ESTABLISH A RESOURCE CENTER BUT WE'RE ONLY GOING TO BE HERE FOR SUPPORT AND THAT'S IT. AND I THINK THAT KIND OF LAYS BACK ON US BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S THE BIG THING WE'RE MISSING HERE. BUT I THINK THAT FOR ME PERSPECTIVE MOST OF ALMOST EVERY MUNICIPALITY THAT I'VE COME ACROSS THROUGH MAYORS IT'S THROUGH 501S AND CHURCHES THAT EVERYTHING GETS DONE. I KNOW THAT SOMETIMES THINGS GET LOST IN TRANSLATION. WE NEED TO BE AS A PARTNER AS A SUPPORT GROUP. THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT HAPPENS WITHIN THIS AND IT'S A LOT OF THE MONEY THAT GOT CUT FROM HUD THAT HURTS YOU AND THAT'S NOT HERE OR THERE. IT'S YOU HAVE TO SPEAK TO YOUR FEDERAL LEGISLATORS TO GET ANYTHING DONE IN REGARDS TO HUD AND GETTING MORE FUNDING. I THINK THAT WE JUST WANTED TO HEAR FROM YOU AS COUNCIL THAT WE HAVE A CONCERN THAT WE NEED MORE PEOPLE ON THE GROUND HELPING YOU. AND THIS IS A VENUE BECAUSE THIS IS TELEVISED THAT IF PEOPLE HEAR THAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR VOLUNTEERS HOPEFULLY YOU GET MORE VOLUNTEERS OUT OF THIS AND WE'RE ABLE TO PARTNER WITH YOU. THE CITY WHEN IT COMES TO CERTAIN THINGS IS LIMITED IN RESOURCES. IT COULD EXPAND BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF NEEDS IN THE CITY. IT'S NOT THAT HOMELESS IS NOT AN IMPORTANT THING. IT IS. BUT I THINK THAT WE COULD PARTNER WITH YOURSELF THE CHURCHES TO GET THINGS ACCOMPLISHED. AND I THINK THAT WE COULD AGREE TO DISAGREE BUT WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER BECAUSE IF NOT THE PEOPLE YOU'RE TRYING TO SERVE ARE NEVER GOING TO GET SERVED IF YOU'RE CONSTANTLY ARGUING. YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO GET TO A POINT OF AGREEING TO DISAGREE BECAUSE WHEN YOU GET TOO MANY PEOPLE IN A ROOM EVERYBODY IS GOING TO HAVE THEIR OWN PERSPECTIVE OF HOW THINGS SHOULD BE DONE. SO I'M JUST LETTING YOU KNOW THAT WE'RE HERE TO PARTNER WITH YOU AND MAKE SURE THAT THINGS GO RIGHT.

AND JUST LIKE COUNCILMAN BAILEY I MEAN COUNCILMAN JOHNSON AND DEPUTY MAYOR ANDERSON ARE SAYING IS WE'RE HERE TO ASSIST YOU IN ANY WAY THAT WE CAN SO.

MAYBE A GOOD TAKEAWAY AND I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM HELPING YOU AS WE CAN GET WITH SOME OF THE FAITH BASED ORGANIZATIONS HERE BECAUSE SOME OF THEM HAVE MULTIPLE BUILDINGS MULTIPLE OFFICES THAT AREN'T BEING USED AND WE COULD UTILIZE THAT AND MAYBE NOT JUST ONE BUT SEVERAL OF THEM BECAUSE WE ARE SO FAR SOUTH AND A LOT OF YOU GUYS ARE BASED CENTRAL AND NORTHERN BREVARD JUST BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE MAIN PROBLEM WAS. WE ARE SPREAD OUT IN A LITTLE COMMUNITY. WE ARE THE BIGGEST BUT WE ARE THE LITTLE COMMUNITY. SO I HAVE NO PROBLEM TRYING TO HELP WITH THAT AND I THINK THAT MIGHT BE WHERE WE WANT TO GO IS LET THE FAITH BASED ORGANIZATIONS TAKE THE LEAD ON THIS THING AND THEY CAN HELP US OUT. IT WAS A CRAZY AMOUNT OF MONEY THEY RAISED FOR THE COLD NIGHT SHELTER LIKE OVERNIGHT. I THINK THEY'LL BE WILLING TO HELP.

WELL WE. EXCUSE ME SIR. VOA WE HAVE A BRANCH HERE IN PALM BAY. ONE OF THE REASONS THAT I WOULD MEET PEOPLE AS PART OF THE OUTREACH CONNECTION IS BECAUSE IT WAS CONVENIENT FOR THEM BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES THEY LITERALLY DIDN'T HAVE TRANSPORTATION. BUT I WE LITERALLY HAVE AN OFFICE RIGHT ON PALM BAY ROAD. PALM BAY AND COMMERCE. I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE IT IS. YOU GUYS HELPED OUT A FRIEND OF MINE THAT I FOUND HERE. HE'S A FRIEND OF MINE NOW. HE WASN'T AT THE TIME. BUT A LOT OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE

[00:45:02]

WE ALL AS PART OF THE HOMELESS COALITION IT'S NEVER BEEN A PROBLEM IN THE PAST SO I'M SURE IT WOULDN'T BE. AGAIN A LOT OF TIMES IT'S JUST THEY HAVE A PROBLEM. THE CLIENTS THEMSELVES HAVE A PROBLEM GETTING TO. YOU KNOW PALM BAY IS BIG SO YOU KNOW GETTING. LITERALLY I'VE HAD TO MEET PEOPLE YOU KNOW OUT ON MALABAR. THEY CAN'T GET YOU KNOW. IT'S JUST YOU KNOW FAR FOR THEM TO GET OVER TO PALM BAY ROAD. AND I GUESS THE THE OTHER FOLLOW UP QUESTION. I'M JUST CURIOUS. IT SEEMS TO ME I'M KIND OF CONCERNED ABOUT THE CITY BECOMING THE MIDDLEMAN I GUESS AS FAR AS PARTNERING WITH IF WE'RE GOING TO REACH OUT TO LIKE FAITH BASED ORGANIZATIONS. WHAT IS IT THAT YOU NEED FROM THE CITY? DO YOU NEED THE CITY TO PARTNER AS FAR AS GIVING PERMITS OR SOME OTHER PIECE OF THE PUZZLE THAT I'M MISSING HERE OR IS IT REALLY BETTER JUST FOR THE AGENCIES THE HOMELESS COALITION AND THEIR AGENCIES TO JUST

[00:50:04]

AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE AWARE BUT VOLUNTEERS OF AMERICA IS A FAITH BASED ORGANIZATION. SO WE VERY MUCH PARTNER WITH OUR FAITH COMMUNITY. BUT IDEALLY IT WOULD BE A LOCATION CENTRAL PALM BAY WHERE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE FURTHER SOUTH THAT HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING TO WHERE WE ARE. MOSAIC HAS OPENED OUR DOORS TO US TO YOU KNOW TO ASSIST AND VOLUNTEERS OF AMERICA BUT THEY'RE ALL REALLY AT THE NORTH END AND IN ORDER TO GET THAT FULL SERVICE PEOPLE HAVE TO GET ALL THE WAY TO MELBOURNE TO THE SOUTH BREVARD SHARING CENTER BECAUSE A LOT OF THOSE SERVICES JUST ARE NOT IN PALM BAY. WE CAN BRING THEM TO PALM BAY BUT WE NEED A LOCATION TO DO IT.  ON THAT NOTE I THINK IT'S BEST TO WORK WITH STAFF WHEN IT COMES TO THAT BECAUSE THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN SINCE I'VE BEEN MAYOR THE WHOLE CONCEPT OF TRYING TO HAVE A SHARING CENTER IN PALM BAY BECAUSE THERE IS A DIRE NEED FOR IT HAS BEEN KIND OF LIKE AN ONGOING THING AND HOPEFULLY IN THE NEAR FUTURE WE COULD ACCOMPLISH THAT. I NEVER MAKE PROMISES. I SAID WE COULD WORK AT IT AND SEE IF WE COULD GET THERE. MAYOR I DID WANT TO GIVE. I KNOW WE'RE KIND OF GIVING DIRECTION RIGHT? I THINK IT'S GREAT EVERYBODY'S WORKING TOGETHER ON SOME BIG PROBLEMS, A HEAVY LOAD. I DO FEEL THAT IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO BE DONE BY THE PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS.  THE CITY JUST DOESN'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO HAVE A HUMAN RESOURCES. I MEAN I'M SORRY. HUMAN SERVICES. WE DON'T HAVE HUMAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT. WE DON'T HAVE EXPERTISE IN THAT WAY AND I THINK IT'S KIND OF A LOT TO PUT ONTO OUR CITY MANAGER WHEN WE DON'T HAVE THAT STRUCTURE HERE. NOW AS FAR AS WHETHER WE HAVE AN EMPTY BUILDING OR IF SOMEBODY ELSE HAS A BUILDING WHERE A PERMANENT. WHAT I'M HEARING IS A PERMANENT LOCATION IS NEEDED. BUT  THEN THERE WOULD STILL POSSIBLY BE SOME  TRANSPORTATION ISSUES BUT IF IT'S CENTRALIZED IT WILL REDUCE SOME OF THOSE ISSUES. THAT'S WHAT I'M HEARING TONIGHT. SO IT SOUNDS LIKE WHAT WE NEED DO IS REACH OUT TO SOME OF THE FAITH BASED ORGANIZATIONS TO SEE IF ANY OF THEM THAT ARE CLOSER DOWN HERE HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE I JUST DON'T SEE THE CITY HAVING THAT RIGHT NOW. I DON'T THINK WE'RE AT THAT POINT. THAT'S JUST THAT'S MY PERSONAL OPINION.

NO. BUT I DON'T THINK THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO SAY. WHAT WE'RE TRYING. THAT'S  WHAT THEY ASKED. WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS THAT WORK WITH CITY STAFF AND AND SEE HOW WE COULD ASSIST YOU IF ANY IN REGARDS TO THE FAITH BASED. SO GOING FROM THERE  THIS IS A PROCESS AND I THINK SOMETIMES YOU NEED JUST TO BE PATIENT. I AGREE WITH YOU. WE DON'T. INTERNALLY WE CAN'T TAKE IT ON LIKE THAT BUT I THINK THAT WHEN WE FIRST STARTED THE WORKSHOP IT LOOKED LIKE THIS WAS GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THEN IT GOT A BUMP. AND I THINK WE NEED TO RECONVENE AND DISCUSS AND LOOK FOR SOLUTIONS. BECAUSE IT'S EASY TO FINGER POINT BUT I'M SOLUTION ORIENTED. LET'S GET TO THE SOLUTION. IF THERE IS A PROBLEM GIVE ME A SOLUTION. BECAUSE ADDED PROBLEMS ARE NOT GONNA GET ME A SOLUTION. JUST GET ME A SOLUTION. EXCUSE ME MAYOR. YES. CAN I OFFER A SOLUTION TO ONE CONCERN THE DEPUTY MAYOR ACTUALLY HAD. YOU HAD BROUGHT UP THE CONCERN OF US NOT KNOWING WHERE THE CAMPS ARE. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT THE MELBOURNE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS DOING WITH SOME OF OUR TEAM MEMBERS. IT'S SOME KIND OF GOOGLE MAP AND DON'T QUOTE ME. I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW IT WORKS BUT THEY'RE ABLE TO PINPOINT. THEY CAN PUT NOTES IN IT. THEY CAN COLOR CODE IT AND IT CAN BE PROTECTED AS WELL. THAT'S SOMETHING OUR OUTREACH COMMITTEE IS WORKING ON. ANYBODY IF YOU'D LIKE TO BE A PART OF THAT OR IF THE PALM BAY POLICE DEPARTMENT COULD BE. AND THAT'S WHAT I'M TELLING YOU. THAT'S WHY WE DIRECTED YOU TO STAFF. AND JUST CONFIDENTIALITY WOULD BE THE BIGGEST THING. RIGHT. DEFINITELY WITH STAFF AND PD AND STUFF LIKE THAT. I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU. NO. THANK YOU FOR COMING IN. HAVE A SEAT BECAUSE I THINK THERE'S SOME PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO COME UP IN REGARDS TO THE PUBLIC COMMENTS AND THEY'RE GONNA DISCUSS HOMELESSNESS. SO IF THEY'RE ASKING US QUESTIONS WE COULD JUST GO AND POINT TO YOU. YES MAYOR. SO IF YOU COULD JUST HAVE A SEAT PLEASE. CAN I ADD ONE MORE THING? I JUST. I KNOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CHRONICALLY HOMELESS. OBVIOUSLY THAT WAS THE VIDEO THAT CAME FROM FAMILY PROMISE. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW THAT LAST SCHOOL YEAR OVER 2500 STUDENTS WERE CODED AS HOMELESS AND

[00:55:02]

SHE'S A JUNIOR AT PALM BAY HIGH SCHOOL. SHE'S DUALLY ENROLLED. SHE'S DOING GREAT. BOTH DAD AND [INAUDIBLE] ARE EMPLOYED IN PALM BAY. SO THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF FAMILIES THAT WE'RE SEEING, FAMILIES THAT ARE JUST FALLING OUT OF HOUSING BECAUSE OF THAT GAP BETWEEN INCOME AND THE COST OF HOUSING SO. NO THANK YOU FOR THE WORK THAT YOU DO.

MAYOR I JUST WANTED TO QUICKLY THANK I KNOW THE SOUTH BREVARD SHARING CENTER, DOING A GREAT JOB OVER FORMULA STATISTICS AND THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO SEE MORE OF IS AGAIN I THINK IT'S ENCOURAGED THE BREVARD HOMELESS COALITION IN GENERAL TO BRING SOME OF THAT SPECIFIC DATA POINTS FOR US SO WE CAN ALSO PROMULGATE THAT TO THOSE FOLKS WHO MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN THAT DATA. BUT I THINK IT'S A GREAT JOB. AND ALSO WE DON'T WANT TO CREATE. ONE THING I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT IS CREATING ANY EXPECTATIONS THAT FOLKS ARE GOING TO COME BACK AND IMPOUND THOSE LATER BUT I THINK THE ONE SUGGESTION AS FAR AS WORKING WITH OUR POLICE DEPARTMENTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

THAT'S. [INAUDIBLE] YEAH THAT'S REASONABLE AND I THINK THAT COULD BE HELPFUL. I THINK THAT'S. I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH THAT SO I APPRECIATE THEM ALL COMING OUT. OKAY. THANK YOU AGAIN. NOW WE'RE MOVING INTO PUBLIC COMMENTS. PIERRE KUZMA. I'M TALKING ABOUT THE

[Public Comments/Responses]

REPRESENTING 240 HOMEOWNERS. THERE'S ANOTHER 800 PLUS HOMEOWNERS FROM SURROUNDING AREAS THAT MY HOMEOWNERS HAVE BEEN TALKING TO GETTING THINGS INVOLVED. FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN BOMBARDED BY INQUIRIES CONCERNS FROM THE HOMEOWNERS IN THIS AREA CONCERNING THIS PROJECT. PROPERTY VALUE'S DECREASING, PRIVACY ISSUES, SAFETY CONCERN ISSUES AND NUMEROUS OTHERS. BUT TONIGHT THE ONLY THING I WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS WOULD BE THAT OF SEWAGE. IN OUR DEVELOPMENT OUR SEWAGE SYSTEM IS QUITE ANTIQUATED. OUTDATED OUTMODED PUMPS CONSTANTLY CLOG, CONSTANTLY SET OFF ALARMS, RED LIGHTS GOING OFF, FEEDING OUR STATION. IT'S EVEN AT TIMES WHERE YOU CAN LIFT A MANHOLE COVER AND SEE THE LEVEL OF SEWAGE RISING WHICH SHOULD NOT BE. SO WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THE IMPACT SINCE OUR INFRASTRUCTURE IS SO OLD. HOW IS IT GOING TO BE AFFECTED BY THIS NEW PLACE? NOW WE DID GET ON THE 30TH A TALK BY JAKE WISE FROM HIS ENGINEERING GROUP ABOUT THE PROPOSAL AND HE DID STATE THERE WOULD BE A LIFT STATION PUT ON THAT SITE. WELL WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AND WHERE DOES THAT GO FROM THAT LIFT STATION? BUT WE'RE STILL DEALING WITH SOME ANTIQUATED ISSUES AND OLDER SYSTEMS WHILE NEWER ONES ARE BEING PUT IN. AND THIS IS JUST AN ISSUE THAT I HAD, ONE OF THEM. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR HEARING ME OUT. THANK YOU. NEXT.  ANNEMARIE BURROWS. WHERE'S ANNEMARIE?  ANNEMARIE BURROWS 1234 CAMAS AVENUE NW PALM BAY. I'M A FIRM BELIEVER IN WHEN SOMEBODY DOES SOMETHING NICE OR GOOD OR WELL THAT THEY SHOULD BE COMMENDED FOR IT. WHICH I WOULD LIKE TO THANK CITY MANAGER LISA MORRELL AND SUZANNE SHERMAN AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HELPED IN YESTERDAY'S MEET AND GREET WITH THE  NEW POLICE ATTENDEES. CANDIDATES. CANDIDATES.

THANK YOU MAYOR. IT WAS NICE. THERE WERE A LOT OF POLICEMEN THERE. A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE THERE. THEY WERE MILLING AROUND, TALKING, GIVING OUT DIFFERENT IDEAS AND THINGS. AND SURPRISE OF SURPRISES WE EVEN HAD SOME NICE LIGHT REFRESHMENTS WHICH IS NICE. WHEN YOU INVITE SOMEONE TO YOUR HOME YOU ALWAYS HAVE THEM A LITTLE SOMETHING TO EAT SND WE HAVE NOT HAD THAT BEFORE BUT I WANTED. THAT WAS GREAT. AND THAT'S IT. BYE BYE. THANK YOU ANNEMARIE. THANKS. SUSAN HALLORAN. THANK YOU. I'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT FIREWORKS AGAIN. CAN YOU GET CLOSER TO THE. I'M SORRY. THANK YOU. GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS PLEASE. SUSAN HALLORAN 887 VANCE CIRCLE NE PALM BAY. OKAY. I'VE

[01:00:03]

THEY'RE GETTING LOUDER AND LOUDER. I BELIEVE WHAT WE HAVE IS MORTARS. THIS IS A PIECE OF THE DEBRIS THAT'S LANDING IN MY YARD EXPLODING. I HAVE TO TAKE MY DOG TO THE VET. I GOT HIM TRANQUILIZERS. I GOT HIM A THUNDER SHIRT. HE'S TERRIFIED. HE ENDED UP BY THE THIRD NIGHT HAVING VOMITING AND DIARRHEA. I'VE CLEANED THE HOUSE AND CLEANED THE HOUSE AND CLEANED AFTER HIM. ON TUESDAY WHICH WAS THE 9TH I BELIEVE. I CALLED CHIEF MOYA'S OFFICE. I WANTED SOME INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT WAS LEGAL, WHAT WASN'T LEGAL AND WHAT RECOURSE I HAD. I AM STILL WAITING FOR A CALL BACK. ABOUT A WEEK AFTER THAT I CALLED SHERIFF IVY'S OFFICE. I GOT A CALL BACK WITHIN AN HOUR. DEPUTY WAS LOVELY. TOLD ME WHAT TO DO. TOLD ME WHO I SHOULD SPEAK WITH. WHAT WAS LEGAL. WHAT WASN'T. I THINK THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. IT'S YEAR AFTER YEAR. IT'S NOT JUST FOURTH OF JULY. IT'S ANY HOLIDAY. IT'S ANY GIVEN NIGHT.

SINCE THE FOURTH OF JULY I'VE HAD THREE OR FOUR NIGHTS WHERE NEIGHBORS HAVE BEEN SHOOTING OFF FIREWORKS. I HAD ONE NEIGHBOR TWO YEARS AGO SHOOTING FIREWORKS FROM THE SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF HIS HOUSE AND SHOOTING THEM UP OUR RESIDENTIAL STREET. I THINK THE REST OF US HAVE RIGHTS. I'M REAL TIRED OF IT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

TOM REBMAN. GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL. MR. MAYOR I'D LIKE TO ASK. I HAVE ONE OF MY HOMELESS FRIENDS AND WE BOTH HAVE A CARD. CAN WE SPEAK TOGETHER? IS THAT OKAY? WHICH CARD? DARRELL RAY. IS THAT ALL RIGHT? IT'S ALL RIGHT. SO MR. MAYOR I FIRST WANT TO BEGIN BY SAYING THAT THE PEOPLE THAT WERE JUST PRESENTING ARE DOING SOME AMAZING THINGS WITH THE LIMITED PEOPLE THAT THEY SERVE. LET ME GIVE YOU A LITTLE BACKGROUND. BEFORE THERE WAS A BREVARD HOMELESS COALITION I WAS INVOLVED WITH KEITH [INAUDIBLE] AT THE UNITED WAY. I ACTUALLY BRIEFED THEIR BOARD OF DIRECTORS BEFORE THERE WAS BREVARD HOMELESS COALITION. I STARTED DOING THE COUNT AND DID THE COUNT IN PALM BAY THE FIRST TWO YEARS. LAST YEAR WAS THE FIRST YEAR I HADN'T DONE THE COUNT. I KNOW WHERE EVERY CAMP IS AND I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT YOU WERE LIED TO. I CAN'T SAY IT ANY OTHER WAY. LIED TO. LIED TO. I AM IN EVERY SINGLE CAMP AND HAVE BEEN FOR A YEAR AND A HALF AND I TALK WITH THESE FOLKS AND THE TWO COUNCIL PEOPLE THAT HAVE GONE TO NUMEROUS CAMPS WITH ME HAVE ASKED THE EXACT SAME QUESTIONS AND NOBODY'S SEEN ANYBODY FROM THESE AGENCIES. NOW THAT'S NOT THE AGENCY'S FAULT. THEY'RE NOT PAID TO DO OUTREACH IN PALM BAY. I'M NOT SAYING THEY'RE WRONG. NEVER HAVE I SAID THEY SHOULD BE DOING IT AND THEY AREN'T. IT'S NOT HAPPENING. THEIR OWN STATISTICS PROVE MY POINT TONIGHT WHEN THEY SAY SEVEN PEOPLE IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS HAVE CALLED AND CLAIMED THEY'RE HOMELESS. IF THAT'S THE COORDINATED ENTRY SYSTEM FOR OUR HOMELESS AND WE'RE ONLY RECEIVING SEVEN CALLS IN 12 MONTHS THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG. SO LET ME BE CLEAR. WE MADE A PROMISE. CHIEF ROGERS AND THIS COUNCIL MADE A PROMISE THAT WE WOULD NOT EVICT A HOMELESS CAMP WITHOUT OFFERING THOSE PEOPLE SERVICES.

RECENTLY DARRELL AND HIS CAMP WERE EVICTED AND I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT A MINUTE BECAUSE I DID A PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST AND ALL OF THESE ARE ACCURATE IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS. THERE WAS ONE CODE COMPLIANCE COMPLAINT. ONE. AND THAT CODE COMPLIANCE COMPLAINT WAS FOR TRASH THAT MR. RAY AND HIS CAMP CLEANED UP AND WAS PUT ON THE ROAD. AND THE DEPUTY MAYOR ASKED THE CITY MANAGER TO PICK IT UP. THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE EVICTED FOR. THE SAME DAY THE TRASH WAS PICKED UP FOR THE THIRD TIME THE CITY MANAGER HERSELF AND A POLICE OFFICER TOLD THESE PEOPLE. THEY WERE

[01:05:06]

NOT THE SEVEN FAMILIES THEY HELPED. NOT THE TWO TIMES THEY WERE IN THE WOODS IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT BEING SERVICED. I HOPE YOU HEAR THAT LOUD AND CLEAR AND I HOPE EVERYBODY ON THIS COUNCIL CAN MAKE A COMMITMENT TO ME THAT WE WILL NEVER AGAIN DO THIS. THERE WAS NO POLICE INVOLVEMENT IN THIS KICKING OF THE CAMP. IT WAS ALL DONE BY CODE ENFORCEMENT ON ONE COMPLAINT. IT'S ALL IN THE PUBLIC RECORDS. I WANT A COMMITMENT THAT'S NEVER GONNA HAPPEN TO A HOMELESS CITIZEN IN OUR COMMUNITY AGAIN BECAUSE THAT'S THE COMMITMENT WE HAD ALREADY MADE WITH THE FORMER CHIEF. THAT'S THE WAY IT NEEDS TO BE. DARRELL DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY? THAT'S IT. I'VE HEARD THESE LADIES OVER HERE SPEAK THAT THEY'VE BEEN TO THE CAMP. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY OF THESE WOMEN. I AM HOMELESS. I LIVE THE HOMELESS LIFE. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANY OF THESE WOMEN COME AND OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE OR HELP TO ANY OF US HOMELESS PEOPLE. THEY'VE JUST GOT THROUGH STANDING RIGHT UP HERE AND TELLING EVERY ONE OF YOU THAT THEY COME TO THESE CAMPS AND THEY'VE BEEN TO ORANGE BLOSSOM TRAIL AND THEY'VE HELPED US. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN THERE AND HELPED US. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THEM. NOT A ONE OF THEM. AND IF I MAY SAY ONE LAST THING MR. MAYOR. YOU CAN CHECK WITH THE CHIEF. THE CHIEF AND I PROVIDED THE LIST OF CAMPS TO THE BREVARD HOMELESS COALITION SO THEY COULD DO THEIR COUNT. THEY WOULDN'T NEED THAT LIST IF THEY WERE VISITING THE CAMPS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. NEXT PERSON. [INAUDIBLE]. IF I SAID THAT WRONG I APOLOGIZE. MAYOR AND COUNCIL. MY NAME'S TARA PARISO. I LIVE AT 1211 BREVARD LANE.

THERE YOU GO. I ACTUALLY JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED MY HOME IN THE CITY OF PALM BAY. SO I'M A PROUD NEW RESIDENT. I DID ALREADY TELL YOU A GOOD MAJORITY OF WHAT I WAS GONNA TELL YOU TODAY BUT I DID HAVE TWO UPDATES OF TWO OF THE GENTLEMEN THAT WE'VE HELPED WITH THE FUNDS THAT I HAD MENTIONED EARLIER. I CAN'T SAY THEIR NAMES SO I'M CALLING THEM JAMES AND CHRIS. SO JAMES HE HAD BEEN KNOWN TO ME PERSONALLY. I WAS HIS CASE MANAGER BACK IN 2016. HE CAME BACK AROUND AFTER LOSING HIS PLACE. WE WERE ABLE TO GET HIM HOUSED OUT OF. HE WAS LIVING BEHIND HABITAT FOR HUMANITY. SO HE WAS IN THAT CAMP AND THERE WAS A WHOLE GROUP OF THEM THERE. HE'S SINCE BEEN ABLE TO GET INTO HOUSING. HE IS NOW IN AN INPATIENT TREATMENT FACILITY TO BATTLE ALCOHOL ADDICTION. THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN DO EASILY WHEN YOU'RE LIVING OUTSIDE. AND HIS APARTMENT IS BEING MAINTAINED WHILE HE'S GONE. HE'S GONNA BE GONE FOR ABOUT 90 DAYS. SO WE'RE CONTINUING TO PAY HIS UTILITIES WHILE HE'S GONE AND HE'LL HAVE A CASE MANAGER WHEN HE COMES HOME. HE'S ALSO BEEN CONNECTED TO A LOCAL CHURCH WHERE THERE'S A BUNCH OF INDIVIDUALS THAT GET HIM TO HIS APPOINTMENTS AND ALL THE THINGS THAT HE'S GOING TO NEED TO REINTEGRATE. AND THEN CHRIS IS ANOTHER GENTLEMAN WHO WAS IN THAT SAME CAMP. HE'S SOMEBODY WHO HAD A KNEE INJURY AND MADE IT SO HE WASN'T ABLE TO WORK. HE WAS BARELY ABLE TO WALK. THE NETWORK OF PARTNERS THAT WE HAVE THEY WERE ABLE TO WORK WITH HIM, GET HIM INTO HOUSING. HE NOW HAS A SURGERY SCHEDULED IN SEPTEMBER. HE'S BEING ABLE TO SEE HIS DOCTORS. HE'S SEEING MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELORS AND JUST RECENTLY HE WAS ACTUALLY ABLE TO REUNITE WITH HIS WIFE AND SON AND THEY'VE SINCE MOVED BACK IN WITH HIM. THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO BEFORE BECAUSE HE WAS LIVING OUT IN THE WOODS AND THEY WERE KIND OF COUCH SURFING JUMPING FROM PLACE TO PLACE. SO THOSE ARE JUST TWO OF THE INDIVIDUALS THAT WE'VE SERVED. AND THIS IS ALL THE 22 THAT I MENTIONED. THIS HAS ALL BEEN SINCE MARCH OF THIS YEAR. THOSE FOLKS ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO RECEIVE SERVICES AS LONG AS THEY NEED THEM. THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT. WE DON'T LIMIT THAT. IF THEY NEED CASE MANAGEMENT FOREVER. I HAVE ONE GENTLEMAN WHO WILL PROBABLY BE WITH ME FOREVER BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT HE'S GOING TO NEED. SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE ABLE TO OFFER. WE'RE NOT ABLE TO GO INTO EVERY SINGLE CAMP.

THERE'S NOT ENOUGH OF US. SO WE'RE NOT LYING TO YOU TELLING YOU THAT WE'RE GOING INTO EVERY SINGLE CAMP. I SAID THAT WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE ALL OF THEM ARE.

WE DO GO OUT INTO THEM BUT NOT ALL OF THEM BECAUSE THERE AREN'T ENOUGH OF US. SO IF THE CITY CAN DO ANYTHING LIKE YOU HAD MENTIONED WITH WORKING WITH THE STAFF THAT'S GOING TO BE THE BEST THING THAT WE CAN DO ON OUR END. THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

THANK YOU. NEXT PERSON. ANGELA [INAUDIBLE] ANGELA [INAUDIBLE]

[01:10:02]

THAT'S NOT ALL WE DO. WE ALSO TRY TO CONNECT THEM WITH SERVICES AS WELL. LIKE MY JOB IS NOT JUST OUTREACH. IT'S ALSO ASSESSMENT AND REFERRAL. BUT LIKE I SAY ONE OF THE BIGGER PIECES THAT YOU TOUCHED ON AND I THINK THAT THAT IS A BIG PIECE OF IT IS CONNECTING WITH THE FAITH BASED COMMUNITY. AND I DO WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT THAT I THINK THAT THAT PIECE HAS ALREADY DONE VERY WELL AND I THINK WE CAN CONTINUE TO DO AN EVEN BIGGER PART HERE IN PALM BAY AND THROUGHOUT BREVARD COUNTY. AND THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME HERE THIS EVENING. THANK YOU. BUTCH OREND. BUTCH OREND.  219 TRENTON AVENUE. I'D LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU TO THERESA FOR A QUICK RESPONSE TO A LEGAL QUESTION I HAD. SHE'S NOT HERE TONIGHT. TERESE. SHE WAS VERY QUICK WITH IT.

THE OTHER THING COMPLAINT I HAVE AND I MEAN IT SEEMS TRIVIAL AFTER HEARING WHAT'S GOING ON HERE WITH ALL THE HOMELESS FOLKS THAT ARE AROUND BUT IT'S STILL SOMETHING THAT AFFECTS MY LITTLE UNIT THAT I LIVE IN. THE GRASS CUTTING ON THE EDGES OF THE ROADS. THEY'VE DONE IT TWICE NOW. THEY COME THROUGH THERE WITH A BUSH HOG TO CUT GRASS AND IT ENDS UP DIGGING INTO THE GROUND. NOW WE'VE GOT MUD ALL OVER THE ROADS BECAUSE OF THE RAIN COME RIGHT IN AFTER BEHIND THEM. PLUS THEY HIT THE CULVERTS WHERE THE DRAIN PIPES ARE AT.  YOU KNOW WE'VE GOT ENOUGH PROBLEMS WITH DRAINAGE HERE. SO I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO TAKE IT. I MEAN TO ME A SIMPLE FIX WOULD BE USE A DAMN LAWN MOWER INSTEAD OF A BUSH HOG TO CUT IT. BUT I'M NO EXPERT.

THE OTHER THING I HAVE. IT'S A TRAFFIC PROBLEM AND I'M NO TRAFFIC ENGINEER BY NO MEANS OKAY? BUT I WAS ALMOST INVOLVED WITH A COLLISION AT THIS INTERSECTION AND I'VE DRAWN A VERY SOPHISTICATED MAP HERE. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS WANT A COPY OF IT OR NOT. I'LL LET YOU GO WITH STAFF ON THAT ONE. BECAUSE THEY'RE THE ONES THAT YOU'RE GONNA BE DEALING WITH. ALL RIGHT. THIS INTERSECTION IT'S ALONG GEORGIA AVENUE. OKAY.

IT RUNS PARALLEL WITH MALABAR ROAD. THERE ARE 12 STOP SIGNS ALONG THAT ROAD ON THE NORTH SIDE. THERE IS NO STOP SIGN AT THE INTERSECTION WHERE TRAFFIC GOES. ALL THE STOP SIGNS ARE AT BUSINESSES, VERY LOW TRAFFIC FLOWS. IF YOU'RE COMING OFF OF MALABAR TO GO ON TO GEORGIA WESTBOUND TANGLED TRAFFIC DOESN'T STOP. AND TWO PAINT JOBS. NEVER HAD A COLLISION. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S SOMETHING TRAFFIC NEEDS TO LOOK INTO OR WHAT. I DON'T KNOW WHO TO TURN THAT OVER TO. DO YOU? SHE'LL ANSWER AFTER BECAUSE

[01:15:03]

THEY'RE NOT TREES GROWING IN THE WOODS THAT WE HAVE TO GO AND FIND. THEY MOVE AROUND. THEY'RE TRANSIENT. THEY COULD GO DAILY FROM COCOA TO MERRITT ISLAND TO THE BEACH. WE NEVER KNEW WHERE THEY WERE AT. IN OTHER WORDS PEOPLE MOVE AROUND. WE DON'T KNOW WHERE EVERY CAMP IS. I UNDERSTAND THEIR FRUSTRATION. AND SO THAT BEING SAID AND WORKING AS A FAITH BASED ORGANIZATION YOU KNOW THAT'S A GREAT TOOL FOR US TO USE WITH THESE INDIVIDUALS AND TO GET TO KNOW THEM. BUT I ALSO WANTED TO YOU SAID YOU WANTED SOLUTIONS. I WANTED TO BRING OUT THE FACT THAT THERE IS A BIG SOLUTION OUT THERE. STATE OF UTAH BROUGHT DOWN THEIR HOMELESSNESS TO 97 PERCENT OF HOMELESSNESS GONE. IN OTHER WORDS THEY'VE BASICALLY SOLVED THEIR HOMELESS RIATE BY USING STATE AND CITY OFFICIALS WORKING TOGETHER COMING ONCE A MONTH TOGETHER USING VOLUNTEERS OF AMERICA TO GO OUT TO GET THE DATA TO KNOW THESE PEOPLE JUST LIKE THESE LADIES ARE TALKING ABOUT DOING. USING THE SAME KIND OF MODEL THAT THESE LADIES ARE DOING TO GET THE DATA TO BRING IT IN TO GIVE TO THE CITY AND STATE OFFICIALS AND SITTING DOWN AND LOOKING AT WHO NEEDS TO BE HOUSED, WHO THEY CAN HOUSE. LOOK AT THE RESOURCES THEY HAVE TOGETHER AND EVERY WEEK SAY OKAY WHO CAN WE HOUSE THIS WEEK? AND GETTING THE SOLUTIONS DONE. AND THEY HAVE BROUGHT THEIR HOMELESSNESS DOWN TO 7 PERCENT AND THAT'S A MIRACULOUS THING. I MEAN THAT'S A STATE THAT DID THAT. SURELY WE CAN DO THIS AS A CITY IF WE JUST YOU KNOW PUT OUR HEADS TOGETHER AND DO THIS.

AND IT'S NOT WE NEED YOU KNOW A BUILDING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. IT'S A MEETING  FOR CHRIST SAKE. SO I KNOW IT CAN BE DONE. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF WANTING TO DO IT. WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO KNOW HOW TO GET THE VOLUNTEERS. WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO KNOW HOW TO GET THE RESOURCES. WE JUST NEED TO DO IT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. KEITH DONALD.

ACHILLES INJURIES. OH OKAY. GOOD EVENING COUNCIL. MANNY MESQUITE DONALD.

4655 LITTLE GREY LANE. IT'S ACTUALLY AN UNINCORPORATED VOID RIGHT NEXT TO PALM BAY ON PALM BAY ROAD. I'M HERE AS A MEMBER OF. I'M FOUNDER OF A FOUNDATION CALLED STEADY TOWN. I ALSO SERVE ON THE BOARD OF THE DAILY BREAD. MY WIFE CARRIE IS ALSO THE PRESIDENT OF THE SOUTH BREVARD SHARING  CENTER. I'D JUST LIKE TO OFFER MY SUPPORT FOR THOSE THAT SPOKE TODAY. OUR HOMELESS SYSTEM HERE IN BREVARD COUNTY DOES A LOT WITH VERY LITTLE RELATIVE TO OTHER COMMUNITIES. AND I'D JUST LIKE TO SHARE THE ROLE THAT MY FOUNDATION PLAYS AND HOW IT'S PLAYED A ROLE IN THE ASSISTANCE THAT WAS PROVIDED THROUGH THE SHARING CENTER THROUGH THE CBG FUNDS THAT YOU REFERENCE TO HELP THESE 22 INDIVIDUALS THAT WERE HOMELESS UNSHELTERED IN PALM BAY.  AND IT REALLY I THINK EMPHASIZES WHAT'S IMPORTANT IN BEING SOLUTION ORIENTED IS COLLABORATION BECAUSE THAT CDBG GRANT HELPED WITH SOME OF THE COST TO DO THIS WORK IN THE RIGHT WAY BUT NOT ALL OF THE COST. AS YOU KNOW THE HOMELESS POPULATION IS VERY LOW INCOME. ABOUT HALF OF THOSE 22 INDIVIDUALS HAD ZERO INCOME. SO BEFORE WE CAN HELP FOLKS GET OFF THE STREET WE HAVE TO FIND A PATHWAY TO HOUSING. THAT GRANT

[01:20:02]

ALMOST. ONE MORE, ONE MORE. JOHN ADAMS. ONE MORE MR. SPELLMAN. [INAUDIBLE] AVENUE HERE IN PALM BAY. I JUST WANT TO ADDRESS IT WAS A LAST MINUTE THING I PUT MY CARD IN AND MR. BAILEY WAS MY DAUGHTER'S CIVICS TEACHER SO THANK YOU.

SHE DID GOOD. AND SO BUT ANYWAY I  STARTED A MINISTRY ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO TO HELP THE HOMELESS AND I'VE BEEN GOING TO THE CAMPS. NOT ALL OF THEM YOU KNOW JUST A FEW OF THE CAMPS BECAUSE I DO WORK FULL TIME FOR HEALTH FIRST ROCKLEDGE.

I'M IN THE BUSINESS OFFICE THERE. BUT I JUST WANTED TO THANK THE CITY MANAGER LISA AND THE SHARING CENTER. I MEAN NOT THE SHARING CENTER. THE DAILY BREAD AND MOSAIC CHURCH PASTOR SHAWN WAS HERE EARLIER BUT HE HAD TO LEAVE. WE CAME TOGETHER TO. I STARTED A SHOWER SERVICE FOR THE HOMELESS. AND IT CAME TO ME BECAUSE I WAS IN ONE OF THE CAMPS AND I SAID WHERE DO YOU GUYS BATHE? AND THE ONE GENTLEMAN LARRY SAID WELL WE GOT TO PALM BAY SPRINGS. I'M LIKE PALM BAY SPRINGS. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THERE WAS A SPRING IN PALM BAY. AND THEY'RE LIKE NO IT'S ACTUALLY THE DRAINAGE CANAL BEHIND OUR CAMP. SO BUT WE JUST LIKE TO CALL IT THAT BECAUSE IT MAKES US FEEL BETTER. SO YOU KNOW IT CAME TO ME LIKE THEY NEED SHOWERS. I KNOW THERE WAS A SHOWER AT THE CHURCH RIGHT OVER HERE. I THINK THEY STOPPED BECAUSE THEY WERE DOING CONSTRUCTION OR SOMETHING. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE DOING SHOWERS STILL BUT THEY GET CROWDED AND THERE'S JUST NOT ENOUGH SHOWERS. THE CLOSEST OTHER SHOWERS. I KNOW ONE OF MAN. HE HAS THE $10 A MONTH SO HE CAN GO OVER TO THE GYM AND SHOWER THERE YOU KNOW. AND SO WE'RE BRINGING SHOWERS BUT WE CAME TOGETHER AND LISA GOT IT PUSHED THROUGH REAL QUICK SO WE COULD GET OUR SITE PLAN AND EVERYTHING. SO WE'RE AT THE MOSAIC CHURCH NOW. WE'RE OFFERING SHOWERS.

I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT EVERYBODY'S BEEN WORKING TOGETHER GOOD AND EVEN MR REBMAN.

HE HAS OFFERED GOOD TRANSPORT PEOPLE AND SO FAR WE'VE HAD THREE WEEKS THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING IT EVERY SATURDAY FROM 9:00 TO 12:00. AND SO WE DID THREE SHOWERS THE FIRST DAY. I BROUGHT ALL THREE. THEN WE DID EIGHT SHOWERS. AND THEN LAST WEEK WE DID FOUR SHOWERS. SO WE JUST NEED TO GET THE WORD OUT TO THE HOMELESS IN THE COMMUNITY THAT THEY CAN TAKE A HOT SHOWER EVERY SATURDAY MORNING UP ON PORT MALABAR BOULEVARD. AND I JUST WANTED TO MENTION TOO ONE OF OUR HOMELESS FRIENDS HER NAME WAS

[01:25:04]

OKAY. THANK YOU. DO YOU EVER FEEL LIKE GOD'S PROSE IN PERSON? OH BOY IT'S COLD IN HERE.

RICHARD SPELLMAN 873 FAITH STREET  IN PALM BAY AND STILL ENJOYING LIVING THERE WITH SOME OF THE PROBLEMS. THE EASIEST PROBLEM YOU HAVE TO SOLVE AND YOU COULD DO THAT TONIGHT BEFORE YOU LEAVE IS ONE OF THE FIREWORKS BUT I WON'T EVEN GO INTO THAT ONE. I HAD SOME OTHER THINGS BUT TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT THE FIREWORKS THERE AND LET IT BE THE LAST TIME WE HAVE TO TOLERATE THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR WITH PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY. GOD HAS SPOKEN ON ALL THESE ISSUES HERE. ARE WE ALLOWING GOD TO SPEAK TO US? AND I COULD SPEAK TO YOU FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES ON PRAYER BUT I DARE NOT EVEN TRY THAT ONE AT THIS PARTICULAR POINT. BUT JUST LET ME SEE HOW I CAN DO BEFORE I CLOSE OFF WITH PSALM 100. GOD HAS SPOKEN TO THE PROBLEMS. GET IN HIS BOOK THE BIBLE AND YOU'RE GONNA GET YOUR ANSWERS AND YOU'LL GET THE SUPPORT FOR WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. AND IT'S A VERY SOLVABLE BUT IT TAKES A LOT OF WORK THERE. BUT AS I'VE SAID BEFORE THE FIREWORKS IS EASY. THE PSALM SAYS HERE  SHOUT FOR JOY TO THE LORD ALL THE EARTH. SERVE THE LORD WITH GLADNESS. COME INTO HIS PRESENCE WITH SINGING AND JOYFUL SONGS. KNOW THAT THE LORD IS GOOD. IT IS HE  WHO HAS MADE US AND WE ARE HIS PEOPLE THE SHEEP OF HIS PASTURE. ENTER HIS GATES WITH THANKSGIVING AND HIS COURTS WITH PRAISE. GIVE THANKS TO HIM AND PRAISE HIS NAME FOR THE LORD IS GOOD AND HIS STEADFAST LOVE ENDURES FOREVER. HIS FAITHFULNESS CONTINUES THROUGH ALL GENERATIONS INCLUDING THIS ONE. SO LET'S PAY ATTENTION TO GOD. WE CAN SOLVE THE PROBLEMS. I DON'T THINK WE'LL BE ABLE TO DO THEM ALL HERE TONIGHT BUT YOU COULD DO THE FIREWORKS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM AT ALL.

WELL. I'M GOING TO CHECK OUT. I'M ABOUT FROZEN NOW BUT THANK YOU. HAVE A GOOD NIGHT MR. SPELLMAN. ON THAT LISA DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD TO SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WERE ASKED? YES MAYOR I HAVE A. I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO WAIT A MINUTE IF YOU DON'T MIND. NO NO. NO PROBLEM. OKAY. GIVE THEM TIME. I'M TALKING THROUGH SOMETHING. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY AND THE PUBLIC COMMENTS. I DO WANT TO REFER STAFF.

SUZANNE SHERMAN IS OUR DEPUTY CITY MANAGER HERE. SO COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC WE'RE GONNA DIRECT TO OUR DEPUTY CITY MANAGER AND WE'LL GET IT TO OUR STAFF MEMBERS.

SMITH FOR ITEM 1 ON THE PUBLIC HEARING. THE FOLLOWING ITEMS

[Public Hearings]

[01:30:04]

THE ORDER OF THIS PROCEEDING WILL BE AS FOLLOWS: FIRST THE APPLICANT WILL MAKE HIS PRESENTATION FOLLOWED BY STAFF COMMENTS, FOLLOWED BY ANY OTHER INTERESTED PARTY OR OTHER PERSON. APPLICANT WILL THEN BE ALLOWED CONCLUDING REMARKS. THE HEARING WILL THEN BE CLOSED AND NO ADDITIONAL TESTIMONY OR ARGUMENT WOULD BE ALLOWED. THE COUNCIL WILL THEN DELIBERATE IN PUBLIC. AT THE END OF DELIBERATION A COUNCIL MEMBER WILL MAKE A MOTION ON THE APPLICATION TO BRING THE MATTER TO A VOTE. EVERY COUNCIL MEMBER IS THEN FREE TO VOTE IN FAVOR OR AGAINST A MOTION TO APPROVE THE APPLICATION. ORDINANCE 2019-23 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY BREVARD COUNTY FLORIDA, AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY, A CHANGE IN THE ZONING OF PROPERTY FROM RS1 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT TO CC COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT WHICH PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF MALABAR ROAD AND ALLISON DRIVE AND LEGALLY DESCRIBED HEREIN, PROVIDING FOR A CHANGE OF THE ZONING MAP, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. THANK YOU MRS. SMITH. AT THIS TIME I'M GONNA OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASK THE APPLICANT VACATION FINANCE LLC TO COME UP. HELLO MAYOR AND COUNCIL. MY NAME IS JOHN PORTER. I'M WITH OSCEOLA ENGINEERING REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT AND OWNER ON THIS PROJECT. JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND. THIS IS A 33 ACRE SITE ABOUT THREE AND A HALF MILES WEST OF HERE ON MALABAR ROAD. ORIGINALLY IT WAS ATTEMPTED TO BE A RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION MARKETED TO RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPERS AND UNSUCCESSFUL. ENDED UP DETERMINING THE LOT SIZE UNDER RS1 WAS A LITTLE TOO LARGE FOR THE MARKET AND WHAT THEY WERE LOOKING FOR. THIS GAVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO RE-EVALUATE THE PROPERTY AND SEE WHAT REALLY WAS THE BEST USE FOR THIS PROPERTY IN THE COMMUNITY. WE MET WITH STAFF AND DETERMINED THAT MAYBE PERHAPS THE PROPERTY WAS BETTER USED AS A COMMERCIAL USE. SO THIS CAME BEFORE US LAND USE AND THAT WAS CHANGED TO COMMERCIAL ON THAT DATE. SO NOW WE'RE LOOKING TO REZONE THE PROPERTY TO MATCH THE FUTURE LAND USE. WHEN MEETING WITH STAFF IT WAS DETERMINED THAT COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT MAY BE AN APPROPRIATE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT TO MATCH THE AREA. THIS IS A TRANSITION FROM RESIDENTIAL TO A COMMERCIAL AREA. OBVIOUSLY TRANSITIONING ANY RESIDENTIAL AREA TO A COMMERCIAL USE HAS SOME TOUGH CHALLENGES THERE AND OUT OF RESPECT FOR THAT THE OWNER DID GIVE A 100 FOOT UNDISTURBED BUFFER ON THE SOUTH SIDE. THEY'D LIKE TO COMMIT THAT TO THE PROPERTY AS A PART OF THIS OUT OF RESPECT FOR THE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT TO THE SOUTH. THAT'S IT KIND OF IN A NUTSHELL AND I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU GUYS HAVE. THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? ANYTHING TO ADD FROM STAFF? YOU HAD THIS FOR FINAL READING. IT'S COMING  BACK FROM [INAUDIBLE]. WITH THAT I'M GONNA CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASK COUNCIL FOR A MOTION. I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 2019-23 FOR FINAL READING. SECOND. SECOND BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM COUNCIL? IF NOT I'M GONNA CALL IT. ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSED SAY NAY. UNANIMOUS. GOOD LUCK. ITEM 2 MRS. SMITH. ORDINANCE NO. 2019-41 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY BREVARD COUNTY FLORIDA PROVIDING FOR A REFERENDUM ELECTION TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 5TH 2019 FOR THE PURPOSE OF DETERMINING WHETHER THE CITY CHARTER SHOULD BE AMENDED, PROVIDNG FOR THE PLACEMENT OF THREE REFERENDUM ITEMS ON THE BALLOT, PROVIDING THE TEXT OF THE PROPOSED CHARTER AMENDMENTS, DIRECTING THE CITY CLERK TO PROVIDE THE SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS WITH A COPY OF THE ORDINANCE PUBLISHED IN A REFERENDUM ITEMS IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE LAW, PROVIDING FOR THE REPEAL OF ORDINANCES OR PARTS OF ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT HEREWITH, PROVIDING FOR A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. OKAY. THANK YOU. I'M GONNA OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE ANYTHING TO ADD IN REGARDS TO THIS?  IF NOT IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM?

SECOND. SECOND BY COUNCILMAN SANTIAGO. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION COUNCIL? IF NOT I'M GOING TO CALL IT. ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE, AYE. ALL OPPOSED SAY NAY. ITEM 3 MRS. SMITH. ORDINANCE 2019-42 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY BREVARD COUNTY FLORIDA AMENDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES TITLE 17 LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE CHAPTER 183, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REGULATIONS, SECTION 183.01 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SUBSECTION D, ADOPTION OF FUTURE LAND USE MAP. BY AMENDING THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP PROVIDING FOR THE REPEAL OF ORDINANCES OR PARTS OF ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT HEREWITH, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. OKAY. WITH THAT I'M GONNA OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASK KALEEL BAKSH. HI GOOD NIGHT. MY NAME IS KALEEL BAKSH. I LIVE AT 1980 OHIO STREET NW. I'M IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO BUY THE PROPERTY OVER THERE. IT WAS DEEMED RECREATIONAL USE I THINK. I'M NEW TO THE AREA, VERY VERY VERY NEW. NO PROBLEM. THE LAND USE WAS ORIGINALLY FOR RECREATION. I THINK IT WAS GOING TO MAKE A PARK. I  SPOKE THE LAST TIME I DID ANYTHING WITH THE RESIDENTS THAT LIVED THERE. THEY SAID THEY HAD A CONCERN WITH FLOODING AND STUFF. I  BEEN OVER THERE, CHECKED THE PROPERTY AND I REALLY HAVEN'T SEEN WATER. BUT IF THE FLOODING WAS AN ISSUE I DON'T THINK THAT MIGHT BE ISSUE FOR ME BUILDING MY HOUSE THERE. I THINK THAT'D BE MORE LIKE ON PUBLIC DRAINAGE SIDE. NOW AGAIN SAYING THIS IF IT DID HAVE A PARK THERE RECREATIONAL USE, THE LAND OVER THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN LIFTED, PREPPED ALMOST THE SAME WAY SO THAT THAT PARK WOULDN'T FLOOD DEEM RIGHT? SO I MEAN I FEEL THE PEOPLE THE RESIDENTS ON IT BUT I WOULD LIKE TO GET SOMEWHERE TO LIVE THAT I FIND IS NICE BECAUSE I LIVE LIKE TWO MINUTES AWAY FROM THERE YOU KNOW. SO I'M JUST TRYING TO BUILD A HOUSE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. IT WAS A FLOW RUPERT. GOOD EVENING. I'M FLO RUPERT. I LIVE AT  401 GEORGES AVENUE NE. I LIVE ON THE CORNER OF KENT AND GEORGES WHERE IT DOESN'T QUITE ADJACENT MY PROPERTY BUT IT DOES MY NEIGHBORS THAT LIVE TO THE NORTH AND THE EAST OF ME. OKAY. WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE PROPERTY BECAUSE IT DOES FLOOD WHEN WE HAVE LOTS OF RAIN WHICH WE ARE HAVING THIS WEEKEND. IT COMES AND IT COMES AT MY PROPERTY. THE NEIGHBORS ALL THE WAY EAST OF ME HALF THEIR BACK RIGHT BACKYARDS ARE LOADED WITH WATER. THE LADY THAT LIVES TO THE NORTH OF ME THREE DOORS DOWN SHE HAS A POOL WITH A TWO FOOT WALL. THE WATER HAS COME UP TO THE WALL. SHE BOUGHT THE LOT NEXT DOOR TO HER TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW SHE'S GONNA BE ABLE TO KEEP THE WATER AWAY FROM US. IT'S TREMENDOUSLY LOWER THAN US. IT'S A WETLAND. ONE OF THE NEIGHBORS FOUND OUT THAT IT'S BY THE FLOOD FLORIDA WELL YOU KNOW THE FWC COMMISSION

[01:40:09]

THERE'S PLENTY OF LOTS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD THAT ARE EMPTY. THE PEOPLE ARE VERY NICE. THEY CAN BUY OVER THERE AND BE CLOSE TO US RIGHT ON FALLON.

BUT WE ALSO HAVE THAT DRAINAGE PROBLEM. THE DRAIN IS ON DUNBAR AND SO WE WANT TO KNOW WHERE'S THE EPA REPORT THAT STATES THAT THERE AREN'T ANY OF THESE ANIMALS IN THERE WHICH THERE ARE THERE. WE HAVE I THINK THEY SAID THAT THERE IS A SCRUB JAY PRESERVE ABOUT A MILE FROM US TO THE EAST WHICH MEANS THE SCRUB JAYS ARE THERE. I GO OUT EVERY MORNING AND I SEE THE SCRUB JAYS. THEY'RE OUT THERE. I TOOK SOME PICTURES RIGHT AFTER THE LAST MEETING. WE ALSO BECAUSE OF THE DRAINAGE PROBLEM WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE ST. JOHN'S WATER MANAGEMENT IS GOING TO DO SHOULD THEY ALLOW THIS TO BE FROM RECREATIONAL TO RESIDENTIAL? WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T GET FLOODED OKAY? BECAUSE IF THEY PUT A LOT OF DIRT AND THEY'RE GOING TO NEED LOTS OF DIRT TO PUT IN THERE THEN WE'RE GOING TO GET WATER AND ACCORDING TO THE STATE OF FLORIDA YOU CAN'T DIVERT WATER TO EXISTING PROPERTIES. THIS HAS ALREADY HAPPENED ELSEWHERE IN THE COUNTY AND THEY'RE BEING SUED. WE'VE HAD ONE BLOCK FROM US THE LAST BUILDER BUILT THE HOUSES FOUR FEET ABOVE THE NEIGHBORS BEHIND THEM AND THE LADIES THERE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE WATER ISSUE AND THEY DID A VERY POOR JOB WITH THAT. SO WE'RE JUST ASKING THAT YOU PLEASE THINK ABOUT US. WE'VE BEEN HERE FOR A LONG TIME, A LOT LONGER THAN A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE. AND WE'VE BEEN HERE WITH THE CITY. I'VE HELPED TAKE CARE OF THE PARK OVER IN FRED LEE PARK. MY MOTHER WAS INSTIGATOR ON THAT TO MAKE SURE THAT PARK WAS BUILT FOR THE KIDS. THE KIDS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD NEED SOME PLACE TO PLAY. I'D RATHER IT JUST STAY THE WAY IT IS. EVERYBODY LOVES TO WALK AROUND SEE THE ANIMALS AND. WE ENJOY IT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? LISA? STAFF? YES MAYOR COUNCIL. THIS IS A 1.98 ACRE. IT'S A REZONING  APPLICATION FROM OPEN RECREATION TO SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE. THE APPLICANT HAS STATED IN HIS APPLICATION IT'S FOR ONE HOME. IT'S 1.98ACRES. I WILL DEFER ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FROM CITY COUNCIL TO OUR GROWTH MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR LARRY BRADLEY AND THE P&Z APPROVED THE CASE.  WELL WHAT WERE THE. I HEAR DRAINAGE CONCERNS SO. AS FAR AS THE STORMWATER AND THE LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD ROADS THAT IS THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT SO WE WILL HAVE.

I KNOW FRANK IS ALREADY ON HIS PHONE BECAUSE I CAN SEE HIM FROM HERE ON THE CITY ENGINEER AND THEY'RE LOOKING AT THE CULVERTS AND THEY'LL PROBABLY BE OUT MAYBE MONDAY DRIVING THE AREA TO SEE WHAT THEY HAVE CULVERT CLEAN OUT AND STORMWATER MAINTENANCE TO BE DONE UP THERE TO ENSURE THAT. BUT I  WOULD NOT ASSURE THE APPLICANT THAT IT DOESN'T FLOOD BECAUSE THAT'S NOT OUR DUTY AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU BOUGHT THE SALE OF THE  PROPERTY YET OR NOT. THAT'D BE MY QUESTION BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE IN PROCESS? I AM IN PROCESS OF IT BUT I DID DO SOME RESEARCH ON IT. I WAS GOING TO GO TO MIRANDA HOMES TO BUILD A HOUSE. THEY HAD SOMEBODY WENT OVER THERE ASSESSED IT AND SAID I HAVE NO ISSUES OVER THERE WITH BUILDING THE HOUSE. THAT'S TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE. YOU KNOW I DON'T KNOW IF ANYTHING'S DIFFERENT BUT I'M JUST SAYING WHAT I DID IN THE PROCESS OF DUE DILIGENCE BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO SPEND MY MONEY AND NOT BE ABLE TO MOVE ON. SO I MEAN THAT IS THE BEST THAT I COULD SAY ON MY BEHALF. NO NO PROBLEM. OKAY. THANK YOU. AT THIS TIME I'M GONNA CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, ASK COUNCIL FOR A MOTION. I DID HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF. I CAN ANSWER IT BEFORE OR AFTER. IT'S NOT QUASI JUDICIAL SO IT'S UP TO YOU. OKAY. I'LL REOPEN. ASK THE QUESTION. ALL

[01:45:06]

ABSOLUTELY. MR. BRADLEY WOULD YOU JOIN US TO THE PODIUM? THANK YOU. I JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHAT THE SPECIFIC USE THAT'S STATED IN THE APPLICATION IS TO BUILD A SINGLE FAMILY HOME THAT BEING SINGULAR. HOWEVER IT IS A LARGER TRACT OF LAND. IS THERE ANY OTHER PROCESS THAT THE APPLICANT AND POTENTIAL OWNER OF THIS PROPERTY IS THERE ANY OTHER PROCESS THEY'D HAVE TO GO TO IN ORDER TO BUILD MORE THAN ONE HOME OR WOULD THIS EFFECTIVELY LIMIT THEM TO WHAT THEY'VE STATED IN THERE? LARRY BRADLEY GROWTH MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR. IT IS IN A ZONE WHERE THE LOT IS OVERSIZED SO IF THEY WANTED TO COME BACK THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH A SUBDIVISION PROCESS TO BUILD MORE THAN ONE HOUSE OUT ON THE PROPERTY. I JUST WANT TO ENSURE THAT WE WEREN'T GOING TO HAVE EIGHT HOUSES THERE OR SIX HOUSES THERE. I MEAN THE ZONING DOES ALLOW FOR SMALLER LOTS THAN 1.898 ACRES BUT THEY DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO BUILD THAT WITHOUT GOING THROUGH ANOTHER PROCESS FOR SUBDIVISION. GOTCHA. OKAY. REAL QUICK  WHILE YOU'RE HERE. THE PROCESS AS FAR AS SCRUB JAYS AND INDIGO SNAKES THAT WOULD ALL BE THROUGH THE BUILDING PERMIT PROCESS WHEN HE WOULD DECIDE TO BUILD THIS ON THE SITE PLAN? YEAH. THAT IS CORRECT. IN THE REPORT FROM STAFF ON PAGE 2 OF THE STAFF REPORT. IT'S NOT TECHNICALLY. IT'S NOT CURRENTLY LOCATED WITHIN THE SCRUB JAY POLYGON. SO THEY ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THAT REVIEW BUT ALL THE OTHER REQUIREMENTS FOR ENDANGERED SPECIES IS PART OF THE BUILDING PERMIT PROCESS. I JUST WANTED IT FOR THE RECORD. I'M SORRY. THANK YOU MAYOR. THAT WAS JUST FOLLOW UP AND IF IT'S NOT WITHIN THAT ZONE WE CAN'T FORCE THAT RIGHT? THE SCRUB JAYS? YEAH. NO WE CAN'T NO. ONLY IF IT'S ON AN ALREADY IDENTIFIED SCRUB JAY MAP WHICH IS IT IS NOT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. I'M GONNA CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING NOW, ASK FOR A MOTION. ONLY ONE READING REQUIRED. MOTION COUNCIL? MOTION TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NO.

JAKE WEISS CIVIL ENGINEER FOR THE PROJECT. THIS ADDRESS IS 2651 WEST EAU GALLIE BOULEVARD IN MELBOURNE. IF IT'S OKAY I HAVE A BUILDING RENDERING I CAN PROVIDED TO THE BOARD. YOU CAN GIVE IT TO ME. THANKS. I'LL BE VERY BRIEF SINCE  IT'S GETTING LATE. THIS IS A PROPOSED GYMNASIUM FOR THE ODYSSEY CHARTER SCHOOL ON WYOMING DRIVE. THIS PROJECT WAS ORIGINALLY ACTUALLY BUILT BY THE CITY OF PALM BAY AND THE PROJECT WHEN IT WAS FIRST PERMITTED DID HAVE A GYMNASIUM ON IT. THE GYMNASIUM ON THE ORIGINAL SITE PLAN WAS ACTUALLY MUCH FURTHER TO THE WEST CLOSER TO SOME EXISTING RESIDENTIAL LOTS. WE'VE ACTUALLY MOVED IT AND CENTERED IT ONTO THE SITE SO THAT IT CAN BE AS FAR AWAY FROM THE RESIDENTS AS POSSIBLE. THE RENDERING THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IDENTIFIES WHAT THE GYMNASIUM WOULD LOOK LIKE WITH A CANOPY THAT COMES AROUND IT. IT KIND OF LOOKS LIKE A SINGLE STORY BUILDING BUT

[01:55:02]

[Council Reports]

THEY ARE VERY APPROACHABLE IN REGARDS TO A LOT OF THE CITIZENS WHO HAD QUESTIONS NOT ONLY REGARDING BABCOCK BUT JUST THINGS IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEY GAVE THEM CARDS AND THEY GOT IN CONTACT WITH THEM AND SOME OF THE THINGS THEY HAD CONCERNS ABOUT WERE ADDRESSED RIGHT THERE. SO THANK YOU BOTH OF YOU GENTLEMEN. I APPRECIATE THAT. THEN YESTERDAY WE HAD THE MEET AND GREET AS YOU MENTIONED WITH THE CHIEF CANDIDATE. IT WAS A GREAT TURNOUT. IT WAS GOOD TO SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE ALL ACROSS THE COMMUNITY NOT JUST WITHIN PALM BAY EVEN MAYOR HAL ROSE CAME OUT BECAUSE HE KNOWS HE HAS TO PARTNER WITH THE CITY OF PALM BAY REGARDING WHAT'S GOING ON IN OUR COMMUNITY. SO THAT WAS GOOD TURNOUT AS WELL. THEN TODAY WE HAD NANA'S HOUSE LUNCHEON AND I JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE 95 PERCENT FUNDED THROUGH DONATIONS. I KNOW DEPUTY MAYOR KNOWS THAT AS WELL. AND 100 PERCENT VOLUNTEER SO NOBODY ON THEIR STAFF IS GETTING PAID. SO THE THINGS THEY'RE DOING OUT THERE ARE AMAZING. WHAT THEY'RE DOING FOR THESE FAMILIES AND THESE CHILDREN THAT HAVE BEEN NEGLECTED AND ABUSED SO THAT DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE HIGHLIGHTED AS WELL AS LATER ON THE 6TH ANNUAL READ TO FEED PROGRAM RUN BY MS SANDRA PELHAM. THIS IS THE 6TH YEAR. IT WAS GREAT TO SEE A LOT OF POLICE OFFICERS OUT THERE. MS. DANNA WAS OUT THERE AS WELL READING TO THE KIDS AND GIVING THEM A GOOD MEAL AS WELL AS THEIR FAMILIES AT FLORIDA AVENUE CHURCH. IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR THE PAST MONTH SO THAT WAS A GOOD TURNOUT AND THAT WAS IT IN REGARDS TO EVENTS. OTHER THAN THAT JUST A FEW OTHER THINGS I WANT TO COVER. FIRSTLY I WOULD LIKE TO COVER  I WAS GOING TO MENTION IT EARLIER BUT THIS IS MORE APPROPRIATE IN REGARDS TO TAKING ACTION. THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT WHAT THE CITY CAN DO WITH REGARDS HOMELESSNESS. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT IT WE ALREADY HAVE A COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND ADVISORY BOARD AND JUST WITHIN THE PREVIOUS MEETING APRIL 10TH 2019 REGARDING CDBGS. IT COVERS SOUTH OF BREVARD WOMEN'S CENTER, ST. JOSEPH'S ST VINCENT DE PAUL AS WELL AS DAILY BREAD REQUESTING CDBG FUNDS TO OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. SO I THINK SOMETHING WE CAN LOOK AT IN REGARDS TO ADVOCATING FOR THE HOMELESS. I THINK WE CAN LOOK AT REVISING THIS IN SOME WAY TO COVER HOMELESSNESS ADVOCACY. THAT WAY THAT'S SOMETHING THE CITY IS GETTING INVOLVED IN BUT THESE ARE THE ADVOCATES FOR IT BECAUSE WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO ARE BUILDERS ON THIS BOARD AS WELL AS REAL ESTATE AGENTS AND THOSE WHO ARE ADVOCATING ALREADY. SO I THINK THIS. AND THERE'S VACANT SPOTS FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO ADVOCATE. I THINK THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD SPOT TO LOOK AT AS WELL AS WORKING WITH OUR STAFF LIKE POLICE CHIEF AND EVERYTHING AS DISCUSSED PRIOR TO. SO THAT'S ONE THING I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF GET A CONSENSUS BEFORE I MOVE ON FROM THERE.  CONSENSUS ON WHAT? OH I THINK THE AGENCIES HAVE TO COME APPLY. SO AS LONG AS THEY APPLY. THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS BECAUSE THERE'S A PROTOCOL THERE. AND THE

[02:00:01]

LOOK AT THIS ROOM. AND AS MUCH AS YOU TRY TO HAVE A WORKSHOP TO EDUCATE PEOPLE THERE IS THAT PORTION OF PEOPLE THAT DON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO COME OUT. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST. WE'VE HAD MULTIPLE WORKSHOPS ON DIFFERENT THINGS. THIS WILL BE THE FIRST FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE BUT THIS IS A DISCUSSION THAT WE'VE HAD IN THE PAST SO I DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH HAVING IT BUT UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE GOING INTO THE EXPECTATIONS. IF I MAY BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT YOUR YOU'RE ASKING FOR COUNCILMAN JOHNSTON. ARE YOU ASKING TO DO A WORKSHOP WITH REGARDS TO LOOKING AT OUR ENTIRE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN? YES SIR. OKAY YEAH.

BECAUSE WE DID. YOU'RE RIGHT WE DID HAVE THAT CONVERSATION SEVERAL TIMES AND I MEAN I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HOLDUP IS. I'D LOVE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT. BUT I KNOW COUNCILMAN BAILEY HAD ASKED FOR THAT A NUMBER OF TIMES AND I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I THINK. I KNOW ONE ISSUE IS THE MONEY BECAUSE IT TAKES UP AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF RESOURCE AND TIME IN ORDER TO GET THAT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MOVING. PERHAPS MRS. MORRELL CAN. ENLIGHTEN US? ENLIGHTEN US A LITTLE BIT ON THAT ONE.

I DON'T WANT TO INTERRUPT. NO THANK YOU MAYOR AND COUNCIL. AS YOU KNOW WE'VE HAD A VACANCY IN OUR GROWTH MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT. WE FILLED THAT. AND MR. BRADLEY'S HERE. HE ALSO HAS A LOT OF AS YOU ALSO HAVE SEEN VERY MANY DEVELOPMENTS ON THE HORIZON, A LOT OF SITE PLANNING PRE-APP REVIEW HIS TWO PLANNERS ON STAFF ARE DOING AND SO HE'S TRYING TO BOLSTER HIS STAFF HAVE A BUDGET WORKSHOP NEXT WEEK AND WE WILL DISCUSS THE FUNDING SOURCES OF A COMP PLAN ADVISORY CONSULTANT, A LITTLE HELP FROM THE OUTSIDE. AND DURING MR. BRADLEY'S INTERVIEW HE IS VERY WELL VERSED IN A LOT OF EXAMPLES OF CHARRETTES. AND THAT'S NOT CHARADES. THAT'S CHARETTES. THAT'S MORE PUBLIC INPUT OF A COMP PLAN WHICH HE SAID IT WOULD TAKE YOU KNOW SEVERAL TO DO A COMP PLAN REVIEW OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY. HE NOTES THE SIZE AND THE VAST MAJORITY SO WE'VE HAD VERY GOOD CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT BUT THERE IS A BUDGET PROCESS TO GO THROUGH FOR SOME FUNDING. AND AS FAR AS PUBLIC WORKSHOPS WITH THE COUNCIL OF COURSE ALL COMP PLAN AMENDMENTS COME BACK TO YOU ANYWAY FOR FINAL APPROVAL WHEN WE DO THAT AND IT DOES TAKE A BIT AND WE DO WANT TO INVOLVE OUR PUBLIC DEVELOPERS. YOU KNOW YOU DON'T WANT TO TAKE SOMEONE'S COMMERCIAL AND MAKE IT RESIDENTIAL TOMORROW. IT'S A BIGGER INPUT AND WE WILL BE DOING THAT. I HEAR COUNCIL SAYING I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S TAKING TOO LONG BUT WE DO HAVE A WORKLOAD CAPACITY ISSUE AT THE MOMENT. AND I CAN IMAGINE. I MEAN THIS IS GOING TO TAKE PERHAPS A FEW YEARS. IS THAT RIGHT? AND AS FAR AS THE ADVISORY BOARD I MEAN THAT WOULD BE AN AD HOC ADVISORY BOARD SO IT WOULD JUST BE BORNE JUST FOR THAT ONE PURPOSE. I

[02:05:03]

I WAS GONNA SAY I'VE DEFINITELY I MEAN THE IDEA OF THE WORKSHOP AND GOING THROUGH LIKE WHY. I UNDERSTOOD  AND I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE AND I KNOW OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE AS WELL. AND BELIEVE ME MRS. MORRELL I KNOW THERE'S BEEN TURNOVER AND I TRY TO BE PATIENT EVERY TIME WE GET A NEW PERSON TO DO THAT THAT THEY'LL GET THERE. BUT FOR ME IT'S LIKE THOSE THINGS SHOULD BE DONE EVERY 10 YEARS. IT SHOULDN'T BE THIS OLD. BUT I THINK THERE MIGHT BE SOME TECHNICALITIES. I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW THAT PROCESS BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T DONE IT YET. WE HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED IT HERE IN FLORIDA YET. I JUST KNOW MY PREVIOUS COMMUNITY WAS A VERY HANDS ON. EVERYBODY NEEDS TO COME TO IT. IF IT'S NOT A WORKSHOP SCENARIO IT'S SOME TYPE OF OPEN HOUSE MEETING WHERE ALL OF THE PARTIES INVOLVED INCLUDING INVESTORS RESIDENTS INCLUDING THE ACTUAL PROPERTY OWNERS WHO MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN AFFECTED ALL COME TO THE TABLE AND MAKE THAT PLAN PRIOR TO SOMEBODY WHO. IT MIGHT BE FIVE YEARS BEFORE THAT PERSON SELLS ONE OF THE PIECES OF PROPERTY. EVERYBODY IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. EVERYBODY LIKE ME UNDERSTANDS WHAT'S GOING TO BE THERE. THAT'S WHAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE PLAN. AND RIGHT NOW WE'RE KIND OF PLAYING CATCH UP. BUT ANYHOW THE IDEA OF HAVING A WORKSHOP MAYBE TALKING ABOUT SOME TECHNICALITIES. BUT I'VE BEEN WAITING. I KNOW STAFF IS VERY BUSY AND KIND OF WAITING FOR THEM TO GET TO THAT BECAUSE THERE MIGHT BE THINGS I WANT DONE OR COUNCIL MEMBERS WANT DONE BUT WE CAN'T DO BECAUSE IT'S REALLY A STAFF THING OR THE PROPERTY OWNER NEEDS TO BE INVOLVED. THEY HAVE RIGHTS TOO. BUT I'M  SUPPORTIVE OF IT BUT YEAH I GUESS A COUNCIL SAYING FOR THE RIGHT TIME THAT'S.

I'M EXCITED TO HEAR OTHER FOLKS TALK ABOUT IT. JUST PUT IT THAT WAY. WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT FOR TWO AND A HALF YEARS. WELL I THINK IF ANYTHING WHAT WE SHOULD DO IS MAKE A CONCERTED EFFORT, TO MAKE A MORE FOCUSED EFFORT TO SAY AFTER THIS BUDGET CYCLE THAT THAT WILL BE PRIORITY. COMMITMENT. YEAH HIGH ON OUR COMMITMENT LIST.

KNOW I THINK EVEN YOU KNOW YOU STATED MANY TIMES COUNCILMAN BAILEY WHERE OUR  COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS IS BASICALLY YOU KNOW. I MEAN IT'S PARAMOUNT TO OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT. ONCE WE GET THAT  SITUATED THEN WE'RE GOING TO DO I THINK A LOT BETTER GOING FORWARD WITH OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE. SO I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO REALLY PUT HIGH ON THE LIST NEXT TO ROADS. WELL ALL YOUR THOUGHTS FOR YOUR COUNCIL REPORT. I'M GOING TO LET COUNCILMAN JOHNSON FINISH.

LAST THING. I'M SORRY. GO AHEAD. SO AT YOUR SEATS THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE RESOLUTION 2011-34 WHICH WAS A RESOLUTION CITY OF PALM BAY FUND BALANCE POLICY. SO WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE US PURSUE WHICH I'M GONNA WORK WITH STAFF OF COURSE IS A ROAD MAINTENANCE BALANCE POLICY SO THAT WAY WE MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A SET MINIMUM AND WE'RE NEVER PLAYING CATCH UP. AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THIS MUCH IN ROAD MAINTENANCE BY THIS YEAR. WELL LET'S MAKE SURE WE MAKE IT A POLICY THAT WAY LONG BEFORE LONG AFTER WE'RE GONE IT'S SET IN STONE THAT THIS IS WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO AND THIS IS HOW WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T COME BACK TO WHERE WE ARE NOW PLAYING CATCH UP. ANYONE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT? COUNCILMAN BAILEY. THANK YOU MAYOR. QUICKLY I DO WANT TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT THAT WE'LL BE APPOINTING ANTHONY HARRIS TO SERVE ON THE RECREATIONAL ADVISORY BOARD. COMES HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY A MUTUAL FRIEND. SO I WISH HIM WELL IN THAT. ADDITIONALLY I KNOW THAT NOW WE HAVE WE LOST ONE OF OUR OUR GREAT TRAFFIC GUYS TO THE COUNTY BUT I WON'T SAY HIS NAME BUT WE HAVE MR. FRANK WATANABE HAS TAKEN OVER AS THE TAC REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE CITY ON THE TPO. AND I JUST WANTED. I KNOW WE HAD PREVIOUS UPDATES ON DIFFERENT PROJECTS THAT ARE COMING THROUGH THE TPO AND THAT'S BEEN KIND OF. TALKING TO LISA. I TALKED TO FRANK ABOUT IT .AA SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE IF COUNCIL IS OKAY WITH IT THEN BRING HIM BACK WHENEVER. I KNOW THEY'RE VERY VERY BUSY JUST BETWEEN STORMWATER ROADS AND DEALING WITH ALL THE OTHER PROBLEMS TRYING TO FIND PEOPLE TO FILL CERTAIN POSITIONS.THEY'RE IN SHORT CHANGE. IT'S TOUGH BUT WHENEVER THE APPROPRIATE TIME COMES FOR THEM TO BRING AN UPDATE TO US AND KIND OF REVIEW WITH US HAVE THAT COMMUNICATION BETWEEN OUR BOARD AND HIM AND STAFF REPRESENTING US ON THAT IF COUNCIL WOULD BE OKAY WITH HAVING THAT PRESENTATION ADDED TO THE AGENDA WHENEVER LISA AND FRANK ARE READY.  AND GARY OF COURSE. THE LAST THING OR THE SECOND THING I HAVE HERE TO ADD TO OUR AGENDA IS I'D LIKE TO HAVE A BOND WORKSHOP AGAIN SOMETIME IDEALLY

[02:10:06]

BUT I THINK THAT COUNCIL REALLY NEEDS TO GET AHEAD OF THAT GAME PLAN ALLOW THAT TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS AND THEN OF COURSE BE READY TO APPROVE IT WHENEVER WE GET TO THE NEXT PHASE OF THE BOND MONIES. BUT SO MY KIND OF TARGET DATE AND NOW THAT I KIND OF. HOPEFULLY LISA LOOKED AT THE EMAIL BUT IT WAS SOMETIME IN OCTOBER. AT LEAST SOMETIME SOONER RATHER THAN LATER. OK. WAS THAT I?. AND THE ONLY OTHER THING IS JUST I WANTED TO THANK THE THREE CANS WE HAD HERE LAST NIGHT FOR THE CHIEF'S POSITION. IT APPEARED TO BE VERY STRONG CANDIDATES. IT WAS A PLEASURE TO COME OUT HERE. THERE WAS A LOT OF PEOPLE YOU KNOW. I WAS ACTUALLY KIND OF SURPRISED AT THE TURNOUT. IT WAS VERY VERY WELL ATTENDED. VERY WELL DONE BY LISA AND SUZANNE. I AGREE WITH ANNA MARIE'S OBSERVATION THEY WERE GREAT HOSTS. AND I THINK WE HAVE SOME GREAT CANDIDATES AND THEY ALL DID VERY WELL AND SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO LISA'S DECISION. SHE HAS A VERY TOUGH JOB. I THINK THEY ALL DID VERY WELL AND OF COURSE NOW OUR INTERIM CHIEF MOYA AS WELL THANK HIM FOR WHATEVER HAPPENS IN THE END OF IT. I THINK HE SERVED WELL AS THE INTERIM CHIEF POLICE CHIEF. AND JUST THANK EVERYBODY FOR THEIR SERVICE. COUNCILMAN SANTIAGO. I JUST WANTED TO JUST POINT OUT ONE THING. BY THE WAY A GREAT TURNOUT YESTERDAY. UNFORTUNATELY I WASN'T ABLE TO MAKE IT.

BUT LOOKING AT THE PICTURES IT WAS VERY WELL ATTENDED. AND YOU KNOW THE POSITION OF POLICE CHIEF IS CERTAINLY IN THE FOREFRONT OF MANY PEOPLE'S MINDS. SO I TOO AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT FINAL APPOINTMENT. AND LISA YOU'VE GOT A TOUGH JOB. SO THANK YOU. THUMBS UP. RIGHT. BUT I ALSO WANTED TO JUST  REMIND EVERYONE IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW TOMORROW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY FOR THE NEW PLAYGROUND AT WEST OAK PARK. AND THAT'S IT. THAT'S OUT AT WEST OAK PARK. I FORGOT. 8:00 A.M. 8:00 A.M. EARLY IN THE MORNING 8:00 A.M.. SO HOPEFULLY IT WON'T RAIN BY THEN. IT'S BEEN RAINING MOSTLY  LATELY IN THE AFTERNOON. SO ANYONE THAT CAN MAKE IT THAT WOULD BE GREAT. BRAND NEW PARK IS GOING TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITY IN THAT AREA AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE. I WILL NOT BE THERE. I'LL BE ON MY OWN PLAYGROUND WITH A CRANE ABOVE ME. [INAUDIBLE] YAY. IN THE RAIN PROBABLY. SO THAT'S AWESOME. I KNOW THEY'VE BEEN PUSHING FOR THAT. ANNE-MARIE AND COUNCILMAN SANTIAGO AND ALL YOU GUYS UP HERE IN THAT PARK FOR A LONG TIME. JUST A LITTLE WHILE. SO I DID WANT TO TALK ABOUT SCHOOL IS COMING UP AUGUST 12TH.

OBVIOUSLY TWO CHARTER SCHOOLS HAVE REACHED OUT A NUMBER OF TIMES ABOUT SRO. I WAS HOPING WITH YOUR GUYS CONSENSUS MRS. MORRELL AND CHIEF MOYA ABOUT MAYBE WHAT THEY CAN DO. I KNOW THEY HAVE SOME OPTIONS BUT WHAT WE CAN DO TO HOPEFULLY GET SOMETHING INTO THE BUDGET ON THE FIRST AND MAYBE BRING THAT BACK TO YOU AUGUST 13TH WHICH WOULD BE THE DAY AFTER SCHOOL STARTED. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM.  WE'RE TALKING TO ODYSSEY AND PINEAPPLE COVE? EXPECTATIONS WERE FOR THIS YEAR. JUST REMEMBER THAT. I KNOW BUDGETS COMING BUT BUDGET AND THE SCHOOL YEAR DON'T LINE UP. I'M TRYING TO MOVE THE SCHOOL YEAR BUT BREVARD COUNTY DON'T LISTEN AND THEY DON'T PICK UP THEIR PHONES OVER THERE. I DON'T  WANT THEM TO HAVE FALSE EXPECTATIONS BECAUSE THIS SIT DOWN HAPPENED. OH I KNOW. AND THE DOLLARS AND DOLLARS AND CENTS WE'RE TOLD IN REGARDS TO WHAT THEY NEEDED TO BUDGET IN ORDER TO MEET THE OBLIGATION. AND I ALWAYS SAY THIS WAS MANDATED DOWN. IT WAS MANDATED TO HAPPEN THROUGH THE COUNTY AND THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE FUNDING. I KNOW THAT PEOPLE WOULD LOVE TO SEE BLUE. BUT THERE'S ALSO SUPPOSED TO BE GREEN INSIDE ALL OF THE SCHOOLS. I THINK IT'S IN CRITICAL NEEDS THOUGH. OK. BUT THE OTHER THING WAS THE WEBSITE IS UPDATED. THE GO BONDS A LITTLE UPDATE NOT AS MUCH INFORMATION AS RESIDENTS WOULD

[02:15:04]

MOVING ON. [INAUDIBLE]. IT'S OK NO PROBLEM. DECORUM RIGHT. NO I JUST WANT TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS. I WANT TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS TO THE THREE APPLICANTS THAT THAT THAT TOOK PART YESTERDAY AND TO OUR INTERIM CHIEF FOR THE JOB THAT HE'S BEEN DOING. I KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE TO MAKE DECISIONS NOT EASY DECISIONS AND YOU CAN'T MAKE EVERYBODY HAPPY BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY DECISIONS NEED TO BE MADE.

OTHER THING IS I WANT TO SAY [INAUDIBLE] HIT IT ON THE HEAD. THE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT WAS GREAT YESTERDAY. EVERYBODY THAT CAME OUT TO SUPPORT WHAT THE CITY WAS TRYING TO ACHIEVE YESTERDAY IS TO ALLOW THE COMMUNITY TO SEE WHO WHO OUR CITY MANAGER MAY HIRE. I THINK THAT THE PROCESS WAS EXCELLENT AT THAT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND THAT'S ALL THAT I HAVE. MOVING INTO NEW BUSINESS NUMBER 1 MRS. MORRELL. ITEM

[New Business]

[INAUDIBLE] AGENDA ITEM ITSELF. IT WAS ONLY A TEN DOLLAR ITEM BUT TO MAKE THAT CHANGE NOW I UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S FOR THE SIMPLE FACT THOUGH THAT ALONG WITH THAT TEN DOLLAR ITEM THERE IS ALSO A FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLAR ITEM THAT WAS GRANTED TO CYPRESS BAY PRIOR TO THIS. AND THE REASON I BRING THAT UP IS BECAUSE CYPRESS BAY HAPPENS TO ALSO BE THE CORPORATION THAT WE HAD TO TAKE OUT A NINE MILLION DOLLAR ROAD BOND TO PAY FOR THE ROAD THAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE COVERING AND SO I'M BEING BILL BATTIN. I'M TRYING TO BRING IT OUT MAKE SURE IT STAYS IN THAT PUBLIC EYE THAT IT'S NOT JUST A TEN DOLLAR ITEM. THIS WAS A FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLAR THAT A DEVELOPER HAS ALREADY RECEIVED FROM THE CITY OF PALM BA EVEN BEFORE WE GET THE ROAD PAVED COMING IN THERE. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT COMING OUT OF THAT ROAD THAT THE PLANS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED FOR THE INTERSECTION OF BABCOCK STREET I JUST THE CITY MANAGER SAID I CAN'T GO BACK IN TIME BILL. I WISH [INAUDIBLE] THAT POINT. WISH IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED TWO YEARS AGO WHEN WE STARTED THE WHOLE PROCESS OF GOING FOR THE BOND. WE WOULD BE DONE NOW FOLKS WE COULD BE DRIVING ON THAT ROAD BECAUSE IT'S READY YOU [INAUDIBLE] PROCRASTINATE PAYS

[02:20:01]

SO PERHAPS MAYBE THAT'S A SOLUTION A FUTURE IF WE CAN NO EMAIL THAT TO YOU. I [INAUDIBLE]. YOU TRY TO OPEN IT THROUGH THE DRIVE. I TRIED I TRIED DOING THAT AND I COULDN'T USE JUMP DRIVE BECAUSE I HAD TO GO THROUGH SECURITY CHECK. OK. I TRIED. ALL RIGHT. GO AHEAD.

LOOKED LIKE YOUR ANTSY. NO I'M NOT ANTSY. NOT AT ALL. WE SPOKE BEFORE THE MEETING BILL BATTIN AND I WE WOULD LIKE TO GO BACK IN TIME WE ARE MAKING PROGRESS ON THAT ON THE ITEM THIS IS A [INAUDIBLE] HAVE A BEAUTIFUL FOUR YOU KNOW LANE  [INAUDIBLE] IN THE FUTURE AND WHATNOT SO WE DO HAVE PLANS SUBMITTED AS BILL STATED SO APPRECIATE THAT. NEED A MOTION. WELL JUST JUST AS A RESPONSE TO THAT AND WHAT BILL SAID AS FAR AS THE WHERE WE HAVE NO ESSENTIALLY A CHANGE ORDER. WE HAVE ADDITIONAL BID WE HAD TO PUT OUT FOR SOMETHING THAT WE ALREADY HAD INCLUDED IN A MAX MAX MAX BID THAT WE PAID NINE OVER MY OPINION OVERPAID FOR. IT'S WHY I WAS SO SO AGAINST IT AND SO IT'S A LITTLE FRUSTRATING TO ME THAT WE I WISH WE'D FIGHT A LITTLE BIT HARDER ON THAT BUT I KNOW LISA'S TRYING TO DO THE BEST OF WHAT SHE HAS BUT THAT'S [INAUDIBLE] THEY SHOULD BUILD THAT FIVE HUNDRED FEET GOING UP TO BABCOCK IN MY OPINION FOR THE SAME COST THAT WE'VE ALREADY AGREED TO PAY THEM. I KNOW THERE MIGHT BE SOME SOME SOME SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST BUT STILL IT'S SOMETHING I FEEL LIKE THAT'S WHAT THEY GOT THEY GOT PAID FOR. WE GOT PAID VERY HANDSOMELY TO GET THAT DONE AND I STILL KIND OF FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD BE STRONG ON THAT BUT I GUESS WE HAVE TO DEFER TO LISA FOR NOW AND CITY ATTORNEY OF COURSE. NEED A MOTION COUNCIL. SO MOVE. SECOND. SECOND BY DEPUTY MAYOR ANDERSON. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM COUNCIL. IF NOT I'M ON TO CALL IT. ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE.  ALL OPPOSED SAY NAY. OK. MOVING ALONG INTO ADMINISTRATIVE AND LEGAL REPORTS MRS. MORRELL. NO MAYOR AND COUNCIL THANK YOU.

MRS. SMITH. YES SIR. OK. ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS. BILL. BILL BATTEN 586 OCEAN SPRAY STREET

[Public Comments/Responses]

AND SINCE YOU'RE IN FAVOR OF IT VOLUNTEER THAT GOES TO YOUR HOUSE BECAUSE IF YOU VOLUNTEERED AT MY HOUSE WE'RE GONNA HAVE A PROBLEM RIGHT. AND REMEMBER. [INAUDIBLE] ROOM AT YOUR HOUSE RIGHT. THAT'S WHAT MY FEAR IS YOU'RE GOING TO SAY AT MY HOUSE.

THE TREND REMEMBER THOUGH WITH THE TRANSFER STATION THAT'S JUST MEAN YOU'RE DRIVING THOSE TRUCKS THROUGH TOWN TO A TO ONE LOCATION. THEN YOU BRING IN MORE TRUCKS TO TAKE UP YOU JUST EMPTIED THAT TRUCK TO PICK IT UP AND YOU TAKE IT TO ANOTHER LOCATION STILL ACROSS TOWN SO YOU STILL HAVE TO MOVE IT JUST AS FAR BUT YOU ONLY TAKE IT OUT BUT YOU END UP TAKING IT OUT OF THE TRUCK TWICE. SO THAT'S SOMETHING TO RECONSIDER ABOUT A TRANSFER STATION. AND THEN WITH THAT BEING SAID WHEN I WENT TO THE MEETING AT WITH THE TPO I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A ILLEGAL DUMP SITE OUT BY EMERALD CITY THAT WAS IN THAT AREA THAT WAS AT SOME TIME OR ANOTHER. SO MY FEAR IS THAT [INAUDIBLE] THAT CONTAMINATES THAT LAND MASS FOR ANY ANY FUTURE THINGS THAT YOU WANT TO HAVE THERE. I DON'T KNOW IF THE PEOPLE OR THIS OTHER RESIDENTS ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA BUT IF YOU HAVE THESE ILLEGAL TRANSFER STATIONS BECAUSE THAT'S ALL THEY WERE DOING WAS THEY'RE TAKING THEIR TRUNKS FROM THEIR BUILD SITES AND TAKING IT OUT THERE AND DUMPING IT AND THEN YOU KNOW NOW YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH THAT LAND EXCEPT LOOK IT'S A PRETTY PARK. WELL MY FEAR IS

[02:25:03]
