1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,886


2
00:00:00,886 --> 00:00:05,122
The mic was live, and you
could just hear [INAUDIBLE]..

3
00:00:05,122 --> 00:00:06,104
Hello, did you know?

4
00:00:06,104 --> 00:00:09,400
[CHUCKLES] [INAUDIBLE]
everybody sweating.

5
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:10,580
[? Didn't go ?] over great.

6
00:00:10,580 --> 00:00:14,190


7
00:00:14,190 --> 00:00:17,340
I call the February 13th
meeting of the City Commission

8
00:00:17,340 --> 00:00:18,210
to order.

9
00:00:18,210 --> 00:00:21,360
And to start out, we
will have Pastor Travis

10
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:27,660
come up for the invocation from
Baptist Church of Casselberry.

11
00:00:27,660 --> 00:00:28,960
Thank you.

12
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:29,970
Let us pray.

13
00:00:29,970 --> 00:00:33,540
Precious Heavenly Father, we
thank you for this opportunity

14
00:00:33,540 --> 00:00:35,470
to stand before you, O Lord.

15
00:00:35,470 --> 00:00:38,400
Father God, we ask you
to bless these gentlemen

16
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,400
and these ladies that
serve our community.

17
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,250
May you give them wisdom,
give them knowledge,

18
00:00:44,250 --> 00:00:47,640
to do the business that is
needed for our community

19
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:48,750
to be blessed.

20
00:00:48,750 --> 00:00:50,940
And Lord, we thank you
for the many blessings

21
00:00:50,940 --> 00:00:53,460
that we have in this
great nation that we have.

22
00:00:53,460 --> 00:00:59,310
Lord, continue to look over our
leaders, making sure that they

23
00:00:59,310 --> 00:01:02,370
look toward you Lord in all
the decision makings that they

24
00:01:02,370 --> 00:01:04,590
make, that they honor
you, that not only

25
00:01:04,590 --> 00:01:06,420
that they be
honored, that you'll

26
00:01:06,420 --> 00:01:08,400
be able to honor your people.

27
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,400
In Jesus's name I pray, Amen.

28
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:12,390
Amen.

29
00:01:12,390 --> 00:01:14,430
Thank you, sir.

30
00:01:14,430 --> 00:01:15,885
If you would join
me for the Pledge.

31
00:01:15,885 --> 00:01:19,032


32
00:01:19,032 --> 00:01:23,770
I pledge allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America

33
00:01:23,770 --> 00:01:26,420
and to the Republic
for which it stands,

34
00:01:26,420 --> 00:01:29,920
one nation, under God,
indivisible, with liberty

35
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,083
and justice for all.

36
00:01:31,083 --> 00:01:34,190


37
00:01:34,190 --> 00:01:34,790
Thank you.

38
00:01:34,790 --> 00:01:37,880


39
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,760
Donna, would you
please call the roll.

40
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,210
Commissioner Aramendia?

41
00:01:42,210 --> 00:01:42,710
Here.

42
00:01:42,710 --> 00:01:43,535
Commissioner Meadows?

43
00:01:43,535 --> 00:01:44,270
Here.

44
00:01:44,270 --> 00:01:45,570
Commissioner Albritton?

45
00:01:45,570 --> 00:01:46,070
Here.

46
00:01:46,070 --> 00:01:47,040
Vice Mayor Busch.

47
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:47,540
Here.

48
00:01:47,540 --> 00:01:48,590
Mayor Henson.

49
00:01:48,590 --> 00:01:49,610
Here.

50
00:01:49,610 --> 00:01:50,470
Thank you.

51
00:01:50,470 --> 00:01:54,440
OK, we start the meeting
out with the minutes,

52
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:55,800
approval of minutes.

53
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,930
Is there any comments,
questions, deletions?

54
00:01:59,930 --> 00:02:01,610
If not, the chair will
understand a motion

55
00:02:01,610 --> 00:02:02,630
to approve the minutes.

56
00:02:02,630 --> 00:02:05,330
Motion to approve the minutes of
the regular meeting of January

57
00:02:05,330 --> 00:02:07,790
23, 2023, as presented.

58
00:02:07,790 --> 00:02:08,690
Second.

59
00:02:08,690 --> 00:02:09,979
We have a motion and second.

60
00:02:09,979 --> 00:02:11,490
All those in favor.

61
00:02:11,490 --> 00:02:12,242
Aye.

62
00:02:12,242 --> 00:02:13,170
Those opposed.

63
00:02:13,170 --> 00:02:15,830
That motion carries unanimously.

64
00:02:15,830 --> 00:02:19,730
If everyone would
join me out front,

65
00:02:19,730 --> 00:02:22,190
we have a special proclamation.

66
00:02:22,190 --> 00:02:25,250
I'd like Mike and the chief to
come down if you would please.

67
00:02:25,250 --> 00:02:39,980


68
00:02:39,980 --> 00:02:41,710
You need the microphone.

69
00:02:41,710 --> 00:02:56,130


70
00:02:56,130 --> 00:02:58,290
It's kind of a
bittersweet moment for us.

71
00:02:58,290 --> 00:03:01,740
We have another retirement.

72
00:03:01,740 --> 00:03:07,410
And we want to give a
proclamation to Mike Johnson,

73
00:03:07,410 --> 00:03:08,760
and let me read it here.

74
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,700
Whereas Mike E Johnson has
served the city of Casselberry

75
00:03:11,700 --> 00:03:13,860
in a professional and
dedicated manner since he

76
00:03:13,860 --> 00:03:17,250
began his employment with
the city as a police officer

77
00:03:17,250 --> 00:03:22,090
on January 5th of 1998.

78
00:03:22,090 --> 00:03:25,410
He was transferred to the
criminal investigations unit

79
00:03:25,410 --> 00:03:30,780
on October 29 of 2001, where
he served the Department

80
00:03:30,780 --> 00:03:34,590

and has most recently been

81

83
00:03:40,230 --> 00:03:42,900
Financial Crimes Task force.

84
00:03:42,900 --> 00:03:46,500
Whereas Michael Johnson,
whose passion professionalism

85
00:03:46,500 --> 00:03:49,290
and devotion to duty has
proven to be a tremendous asset

86
00:03:49,290 --> 00:03:52,620
to the Casselberry police
department over the years,

87
00:03:52,620 --> 00:03:57,660
and whereas Michael Johnson
has for the past 25 years

88
00:03:57,660 --> 00:04:00,870
has been an exemplary employee
of the city of Casselberry

89
00:04:00,870 --> 00:04:04,620

law enforcement officers

90
00:04:04,620 --> 00:04:08,340
on fraud investigations and
has worked with law enforcement

91
00:04:08,340 --> 00:04:11,610
agencies around the world to
further the goal of protecting

92
00:04:11,610 --> 00:04:16,410
victims against financial crimes
and who has earned the status

93
00:04:16,410 --> 00:04:21,450
of Certified Fraud Examiners,
certified cryptocurrency

94
00:04:21,450 --> 00:04:25,200
expert, and certified
blockchain expert,

95
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,720
and whose commitment to
the city of Casselberry

96
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:32,010
and the police department has
been proven to be invaluable.

97
00:04:32,010 --> 00:04:36,810
I therefore-- I David Henson, by
virtue of the authority vested

98
00:04:36,810 --> 00:04:39,390
in me as mayor of the city
of Casselberry, Florida,

00:04:39,390 --> 00:04:42,120

100
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,000
Johnson in honor of his
retirement on behalf

101
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,920
of the city commission.

102
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,070
The staff and the citizens of
the city of Casselberry and

103
00:04:50,070 --> 00:04:52,950
set aside this day to
honor and show our sincere

00:04:57,030 --> 00:04:58,530
years of service.

106
00:04:58,530 --> 00:05:03,630
And for anybody that understands
blockchain and cryptocurrency,

107
00:05:03,630 --> 00:05:08,790
they have my respect because I
certainly don't understand it.

108
00:05:08,790 --> 00:05:09,822
Thank you, sir.

109
00:05:09,822 --> 00:05:12,774
[APPLAUSE]

110
00:05:12,774 --> 00:05:34,430


111
00:05:34,430 --> 00:05:36,920
Mike has to be a bean
counter's bean counter

112
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,140
to understand all
this kind of stuff.

113
00:05:39,140 --> 00:05:40,160
Thank you, appreciate it.

114
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:41,840
Hey, Mike, congratulations.

115
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:42,680
You'll [? be ?] good.

116
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:42,950
Thanks.

117
00:05:42,950 --> 00:05:43,210
Thanks.

118
00:05:43,210 --> 00:05:43,710
Thanks.

119
00:05:43,710 --> 00:05:44,330
Thanks.

120
00:05:44,330 --> 00:05:44,840
Thank you.

121
00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:45,950
Thank you.

122
00:05:45,950 --> 00:05:46,930
Thanks for everything

123
00:05:46,930 --> 00:05:47,690
[INAUDIBLE]

124
00:05:47,690 --> 00:05:48,350
I will.

125
00:05:48,350 --> 00:05:48,920
I will.

126
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:49,420
OK, thank you.

127
00:05:49,420 --> 00:05:51,890
Thank you.

128
00:05:51,890 --> 00:05:53,384
Give him one more.

129
00:05:53,384 --> 00:05:56,372
[APPLAUSE]

130
00:05:56,372 --> 00:06:28,760


131
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,140
OK.

132
00:06:30,140 --> 00:06:30,740
All right.

133
00:06:30,740 --> 00:06:33,410
The next item on the agenda
is we're going to have

134
00:06:33,410 --> 00:06:35,810
to delay for a little while.

135
00:06:35,810 --> 00:06:39,260
Young lady that's supposed
to be presenting it as

136
00:06:39,260 --> 00:06:40,880
stuck in traffic.

137
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:47,000
So it's quite
apropos since she's--

138
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:52,290
so hopefully she's not riding
a bike on the way here.

139
00:06:52,290 --> 00:06:54,350
So we'll move to
the consent agenda

140
00:06:54,350 --> 00:07:00,830
and come back to
that item directly.

141
00:07:00,830 --> 00:07:04,190
And so the consent as
far as the consent agenda

142
00:07:04,190 --> 00:07:08,300
goes is there anything
on the consent agenda

143
00:07:08,300 --> 00:07:11,165
that anyone wants to
remove or discuss?

144
00:07:11,165 --> 00:07:13,820


145
00:07:13,820 --> 00:07:18,200
If not, is there anyone in the
audience wishing to discuss

146
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,615
anything on the consent agenda?

147
00:07:20,615 --> 00:07:25,530


148
00:07:25,530 --> 00:07:27,830
Seeing none, hearing
none, we'll close

149
00:07:27,830 --> 00:07:29,360
that portion of the meeting.

150
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,580
Turn it over to the
commission for action.

151
00:07:31,580 --> 00:07:34,580
Motion to approve the
consent agenda as presented.

152
00:07:34,580 --> 00:07:35,360
Second.

153
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:36,740
We have a motion and a second.

154
00:07:36,740 --> 00:07:38,150
All those in favor?

155
00:07:38,150 --> 00:07:39,110
Aye.

156
00:07:39,110 --> 00:07:39,990
Those opposed.

157
00:07:39,990 --> 00:07:43,190
That motion passes unanimously.

158
00:07:43,190 --> 00:07:44,105
As we move along.

159
00:07:44,105 --> 00:07:56,665


160
00:07:56,665 --> 00:07:58,720
See discussion items.

161
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:05,140
Any future agenda items that
anyone needs to talk about?

162
00:08:05,140 --> 00:08:06,700
OK.

163
00:08:06,700 --> 00:08:09,070
We have one resolution.

164
00:08:09,070 --> 00:08:14,830
So we'll start out with
that resolution 23-3350

165
00:08:14,830 --> 00:08:20,350
and we'll turn it over to
Donna to read that by title.

166
00:08:20,350 --> 00:08:26,440
Resolution 23-3350 resolution of
the city commission of the city

167
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,710

00:08:29,710 --> 00:08:31,780
legislation in
progress regarding

169
00:08:31,780 --> 00:08:34,659
the buffer and
accessway requirements

170
00:08:34,659 --> 00:08:39,130
and section 3-3137 of the
unified land development

171
00:08:39,130 --> 00:08:43,000
regulations for property zoned
recreation and open space,

172
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,400
providing for
legislative findings,

173
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,950
recognizing legislation
and progress,

174
00:08:47,950 --> 00:08:50,230
providing for
conflict severability,

175
00:08:50,230 --> 00:08:52,936
and an effective date.

176
00:08:52,936 --> 00:08:54,760
Mayor and commissioners,
presenting this item

177
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,560
will be Dr. Kelley
Brock, director

178

179
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,330
Good evening mayor
and commissioners.

180
00:09:01,330 --> 00:09:05,980
So as Donna mentioned
resolution 23-3350 provides

181
00:09:05,980 --> 00:09:09,070
for recognition of
legislation and progress

182
00:09:09,070 --> 00:09:10,540
regarding buffer ways--

183
00:09:10,540 --> 00:09:13,340
buffers and access ways.

184
00:09:13,340 --> 00:09:18,640
So the staff has been taking
our parks bond projects

185
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,340
through our development
review process

186
00:09:21,340 --> 00:09:24,130
as any other site plan
would need to go through,

187
00:09:24,130 --> 00:09:27,910
and with that we've realized
that we have some constraints

188
00:09:27,910 --> 00:09:30,580
that we need to work through
with regard to buffer

189
00:09:30,580 --> 00:09:32,530
requirements which
brought about this item

190
00:09:32,530 --> 00:09:36,710
that's here before you tonight.

191
00:09:36,710 --> 00:09:40,990
So the unified land development
regulations within the code

192
00:09:40,990 --> 00:09:43,900
of ordinances define--

193
00:09:43,900 --> 00:09:46,990
have various definitions
related to buffers,

194
00:09:46,990 --> 00:09:49,390
including buffering, buffer
strips, and buffer yards,

195
00:09:49,390 --> 00:09:53,980
but basically they
call for landscaping

196
00:09:53,980 --> 00:09:57,670
or other screening
between adjacent uses

197
00:09:57,670 --> 00:10:00,070
for proposed developments.

198
00:10:00,070 --> 00:10:02,710
Within that same
section of the ULDRs,

199
00:10:02,710 --> 00:10:04,960
there is a table
that indicates what

200
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,400
type of buffer,
denoted by A through D,

201
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,170
would apply in a
given situation.

202
00:10:12,170 --> 00:10:13,720
So in the example
of parks, there

203
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,440
is no separate parks or
recreation open space zoning

204
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,690
category for buffers currently.

205
00:10:19,690 --> 00:10:21,670
So it's usually
interpreted as being

206
00:10:21,670 --> 00:10:25,090
a low impact development--
so if your proposed

207
00:10:25,090 --> 00:10:27,190
use is low impact.

208
00:10:27,190 --> 00:10:30,550
And then in most cases,
your adjacent existing use

209
00:10:30,550 --> 00:10:33,070
is single family residential.

210
00:10:33,070 --> 00:10:38,440
So in that case your
buffer required would be B.

211
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,370
A type B buffer is
basically 20 foot width

212
00:10:42,370 --> 00:10:44,560
between the adjacent land uses.

213
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:47,170


214
00:10:47,170 --> 00:10:50,590
So when it comes to parks,
we are dealing with a lot

215
00:10:50,590 --> 00:10:52,010
of competing interests.

216
00:10:52,010 --> 00:10:54,880
One is to try to fit in all
of the elements that were

217
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,730
included in the
conceptual packages

218
00:10:57,730 --> 00:11:00,250
associated with the parks bond.

219
00:11:00,250 --> 00:11:02,290
There are these
landscape requirements,

220
00:11:02,290 --> 00:11:06,520
and I have a couple of
examples of that I'll share

221
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,830
on the next couple of slides.

222
00:11:08,830 --> 00:11:10,330
There are the
city's goals related

223
00:11:10,330 --> 00:11:12,550
to active transportation
where we're trying to make all

224
00:11:12,550 --> 00:11:15,550
of our parks within a 10 minute
safe and comfortable walk

225
00:11:15,550 --> 00:11:19,150
of every resident
within the city,

226
00:11:19,150 --> 00:11:22,990
as well as trying to promote
active transportation

227
00:11:22,990 --> 00:11:24,800
and complete streets.

228
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,560
We also have
challenges when we're

229
00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:28,390
trying to make sure
they're served properly

230
00:11:28,390 --> 00:11:29,770
for emergency services.

231
00:11:29,770 --> 00:11:31,900
Fire department
has a lot of say.

232
00:11:31,900 --> 00:11:33,700
We have environmental
considerations

233
00:11:33,700 --> 00:11:37,450
like wetlands, stormwater
requirements, and the like.

234
00:11:37,450 --> 00:11:40,900
I didn't mention it here, but
we also have other interests

235
00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:44,800
like Duke and power easements,
as is the case with Wirz,

236
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,920
is a challenge that we're
currently working through.

237
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,470
And of course there's cost,
which has been a big impact

238
00:11:50,470 --> 00:11:53,510
for these park projects.

239
00:11:53,510 --> 00:11:54,940
So this next slide--

240
00:11:54,940 --> 00:11:56,110
these next two
slides will give you

241
00:11:56,110 --> 00:11:59,180
just a couple of examples of
the issue that we're looking at.

242
00:11:59,180 --> 00:12:02,350
So Wirz Park, this is
Mark David Boulevard.

243
00:12:02,350 --> 00:12:06,520
This is the currently proposed
site plan for Wirz Park.

244
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:11,350
And then depicted in the pink
color along the northern side

245
00:12:11,350 --> 00:12:15,580
of the park is what a
20-foot wide landscape

246
00:12:15,580 --> 00:12:16,540
buffer would look like.

247
00:12:16,540 --> 00:12:18,940
This is against a single
family residential.

248
00:12:18,940 --> 00:12:20,800
And if you look
closer, you can see

249
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,310
we're trying to squeeze in
a new sidewalk connection

250
00:12:24,310 --> 00:12:28,300
to get better access from Mark
David Boulevard into the park,

251
00:12:28,300 --> 00:12:30,400
and to the various
park elements.

252
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,100
And this buffer
requirement would actually

253
00:12:33,100 --> 00:12:36,880
make that pretty much
unachievable with this site

254
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,980
plan because the
sidewalk, even if you

255
00:12:38,980 --> 00:12:40,720
were to shrink its
width, would need

256
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,000
to encroach into that buffer.

257
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,390
And we're constrained by other
issues such as fire department

258
00:12:46,390 --> 00:12:48,850
requirements, the
dumpster location,

259
00:12:48,850 --> 00:12:54,890
the existing community
building location as well.

260
00:12:54,890 --> 00:12:57,430
Another example, perhaps
even more egregious,

261
00:12:57,430 --> 00:12:58,660
is Dew Drop Park.

262
00:12:58,660 --> 00:13:02,410
Off of Avalon Boulevard, the
current access to Dew Drop Park

263
00:13:02,410 --> 00:13:07,000
is largely unimproved access
consisting of a mulched area

264
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,680
to be able to access drive
up into where the parking

265
00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:13,240
and the restroom are.

266
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,270
Under our current
code, that really

267
00:13:16,270 --> 00:13:18,550
would not be able to meet
our buffer requirements,

268
00:13:18,550 --> 00:13:21,940
because that space that
you're going between

269
00:13:21,940 --> 00:13:24,490
is insufficient to
achieve a 20-foot buffer

270
00:13:24,490 --> 00:13:28,450
from both adjacent
single family residential

271
00:13:28,450 --> 00:13:29,780
on either side of it.

272
00:13:29,780 --> 00:13:31,390
And then we've also proposed--

273
00:13:31,390 --> 00:13:34,490
Dew Drop Park is actually
meant to be a shared use path.

274
00:13:34,490 --> 00:13:37,030
So it's a real trail
facility that's linking

275
00:13:37,030 --> 00:13:40,000
Avalon to Canterbury Circle.

276
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,980
And it's meant to
snake through the park.

277
00:13:41,980 --> 00:13:43,810
This is very similar
to what was proposed

278
00:13:43,810 --> 00:13:45,190
in the conceptual package.

279
00:13:45,190 --> 00:13:48,160
And this would be encroaching
taking up about half

280
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,260
of that buffer in
this current scenario.

281
00:13:51,260 --> 00:13:55,560
So that kind of
elucidates the issues

282
00:13:55,560 --> 00:13:58,390
as we're facing as far as
the buffers, the buffer

283
00:13:58,390 --> 00:13:59,590
requirements for parks.

284
00:13:59,590 --> 00:14:02,290
While we were looking at
this section of the ULDRs,

285
00:14:02,290 --> 00:14:05,740
we did notice this section
that has to do with buffer

286
00:14:05,740 --> 00:14:08,740
strips along street frontage.

287
00:14:08,740 --> 00:14:12,520
We noticed the language and
this is just vehicular only.

288
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,830
We think that's just an
oversight that it was missed

289
00:14:14,830 --> 00:14:17,350
that you should be able to
have sidewalk connections

290
00:14:17,350 --> 00:14:19,060
and active transportation
connections

291
00:14:19,060 --> 00:14:21,520
through those buffer
strips that are

292
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,440
required along street frontage.

293
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,600
And I think that was just an
oversight when the code was

294
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,850
originally written, but now is
the time to go and clean that

295
00:14:27,850 --> 00:14:30,800
up while we're cleaning
up the buffer requirement.

296
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,420
So staff's recommendations,
and this is what's reflected

297
00:14:34,420 --> 00:14:36,280
in the resolution
before you tonight,

298
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:42,670
is to consider modifying
section 3-13.7.C.1

299
00:14:42,670 --> 00:14:44,470
regarding buffer yards.

300
00:14:44,470 --> 00:14:48,190
There are two tables in there
that may need to be modified.

301
00:14:48,190 --> 00:14:50,290
We are proposing
to narrow the focus

302
00:14:50,290 --> 00:14:54,980
to only recreation and open
space zoned proper properties.

303
00:14:54,980 --> 00:14:58,270
So in effect it would
just apply to parks.

304
00:14:58,270 --> 00:15:00,610
It would allow,
potentially, for sidewalks

305
00:15:00,610 --> 00:15:02,590
and shared use paths
under certain conditions

306
00:15:02,590 --> 00:15:05,200
to be within those
required buffers.

307
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,690
It may result in the need
for additional vegetation

308
00:15:07,690 --> 00:15:10,900
to sort of mitigate the
impact of that encroachment,

309
00:15:10,900 --> 00:15:14,380
and this wouldn't be by right
it would be subject to planning

310
00:15:14,380 --> 00:15:16,630
and zoning commission approval.

311
00:15:16,630 --> 00:15:19,870
And then while we're at it, the
second section mentioned there

312
00:15:19,870 --> 00:15:25,180
3-13.7.3.2 has to do with the
strips along street frontage,

313
00:15:25,180 --> 00:15:27,970
and that's simply
revising it to also

314
00:15:27,970 --> 00:15:32,260
mention active transportation
not just vehicular access.

315
00:15:32,260 --> 00:15:35,560
So the resolution
provides for recognizing

316
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,030
legislation in progress.

317
00:15:37,030 --> 00:15:39,850
That will help us in particular
with our permitting process

318
00:15:39,850 --> 00:15:43,420
that we're currently
undergoing for Wirz park,

319
00:15:43,420 --> 00:15:45,220
and then you would
see this again

320
00:15:45,220 --> 00:15:47,980
after it has passed before--

321
00:15:47,980 --> 00:15:49,810
we hope to take it before
the parks and recreation

322
00:15:49,810 --> 00:15:52,660
advisory board, and then
planning and zoning,

323
00:15:52,660 --> 00:15:56,410
and then back to city commission
for first and second reading.

324
00:15:56,410 --> 00:15:58,180
We're trying to target
the second reading

325
00:15:58,180 --> 00:16:01,100
for June of this year.

326
00:16:01,100 --> 00:16:04,690
And with that, I will take
any questions you may have.

327
00:16:04,690 --> 00:16:08,180
Any questions of staff?

328
00:16:08,180 --> 00:16:11,400
I think it's pretty clear.

329
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,920
At this point, we'll open
it up to the audiences.

330
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,600
Is there anyone in
the audience wishing

331
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:27,410
to discuss resolution 23-3350?

332
00:16:27,410 --> 00:16:28,310
Seeing none.

333
00:16:28,310 --> 00:16:29,810
Hearing none.

334
00:16:29,810 --> 00:16:31,850
That portion of the
meeting is now closed

335
00:16:31,850 --> 00:16:34,730
and we'll turn it back
over to the commission.

336
00:16:34,730 --> 00:16:39,110
I move we approve resolution
23-3350 as presented.

337
00:16:39,110 --> 00:16:40,040
Second.

338
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,570
We have a motion and a second.

339
00:16:41,570 --> 00:16:42,440
All those in favor.

340
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:43,940
Aye

341
00:16:43,940 --> 00:16:45,480
Those opposed.

342
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,620
That motion passes unanimously.

343
00:16:49,620 --> 00:16:54,890
Then we have no first
reading of ordinances.

344
00:16:54,890 --> 00:16:57,440
We have no public
hearings tonight.

345
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,020


346
00:17:00,020 --> 00:17:03,330
No other items that I know
of that are on the agenda.

347
00:17:03,330 --> 00:17:07,010
So we'll open it up
for citizen comments.

348
00:17:07,010 --> 00:17:11,359
Is there anyone in
the audience wishing

349
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:17,270
to speak to anything that was
not on the agenda tonight?

350
00:17:17,270 --> 00:17:22,040
Please come forward name
and address for the record.

351
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:22,650
Good evening.

352
00:17:22,650 --> 00:17:24,109
My name is Dr. Deborah Bauer.

353
00:17:24,109 --> 00:17:26,089
I'm president of the
Society for Historic

354
00:17:26,089 --> 00:17:29,120
Casselberry, 423 Eagle
Circle Casselberry,

355
00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:31,130
Unincorporated Seminole County.

356
00:17:31,130 --> 00:17:33,890
I just wanted to come
tonight to let you all know,

357
00:17:33,890 --> 00:17:36,650
you may not believe it,
but two years have passed

358
00:17:36,650 --> 00:17:38,630
since I came before this board.

359
00:17:38,630 --> 00:17:41,480
Historic Casselberry is
celebrating its second birthday

360
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:42,500
believe it or not.

361
00:17:42,500 --> 00:17:46,430
Two years ago, not exactly
tonight, but approximately,

362
00:17:46,430 --> 00:17:48,050
came before the
board to let you all

363
00:17:48,050 --> 00:17:52,340
know that a group of citizens
had gathered to help address

364
00:17:52,340 --> 00:17:54,800
a great oversight and the fact
that within the historical

365
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,370
community of Seminole County,
of the seven municipalities,

366
00:17:58,370 --> 00:18:01,340
only two did at
the time in 2021,

367
00:18:01,340 --> 00:18:03,710
only two didn't have
a Historical Society--

368
00:18:03,710 --> 00:18:05,240
Casselberry and Winter Springs.

369
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,040
So I'm proud to say
that Winter Springs

370
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,530
is now the only one that
still doesn't two years later.

371
00:18:09,530 --> 00:18:13,200
And within that two year period
we've worked to come together,

372
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,220
we now have a membership
of close to 40 members,

373
00:18:16,220 --> 00:18:18,440
both inside and
outside the city.

374
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,770
We draw from all over the
Seminole County area--

375
00:18:21,770 --> 00:18:23,780
a couple actually even
outside Seminole County.

376
00:18:23,780 --> 00:18:27,230
We've hosted four educational
lectures and a guest lecture

377
00:18:27,230 --> 00:18:30,350
series, where we've
had close to 300 people

378
00:18:30,350 --> 00:18:32,060
attend those four lectures.

379
00:18:32,060 --> 00:18:34,580
We have another one
coming up on March 9th

380
00:18:34,580 --> 00:18:37,130
that we'll be talking about
the architecture of James

381
00:18:37,130 --> 00:18:41,090
Campbell Rogers within the
city and South Seminole County

382
00:18:41,090 --> 00:18:41,780
at large.

383
00:18:41,780 --> 00:18:45,320
And we continue to work right
now with our two main points

384
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,230
being increasing public
awareness of the city

385
00:18:48,230 --> 00:18:50,280
and working to preserve
cultural resources.

386
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,210
So I just wanted to take this
opportunity to thank the City

387
00:18:53,210 --> 00:18:56,150
Commission, thank Mr.
Newlon, thank city staff

388
00:18:56,150 --> 00:18:59,140
for the wonderful support that
they have continued to give

389
00:18:59,140 --> 00:19:00,740
historic Casselberry,
because I have to tell you

390
00:19:00,740 --> 00:19:02,810
all, I've been doing
this a long time,

391
00:19:02,810 --> 00:19:04,640
and I've said this
in other areas.

392
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,770
It's a dream to be able
to have the support

393
00:19:06,770 --> 00:19:09,980
that historic Casselberry has
had both publicly and privately

394
00:19:09,980 --> 00:19:11,990
from the city, and I
just want to thank you

395
00:19:11,990 --> 00:19:13,680
all from the bottom of my heart.

396
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:14,180
Thank you.

397
00:19:14,180 --> 00:19:14,750
Thank you.

398
00:19:14,750 --> 00:19:17,380


399
00:19:17,380 --> 00:19:17,880
Good.

400
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,900


401
00:19:20,900 --> 00:19:22,000
Can I comment on
that real quick?

402
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:22,500
Sure.

403
00:19:22,500 --> 00:19:23,480
Yeah.

404
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,300
I think this is fantastic.

405
00:19:25,300 --> 00:19:27,120
In fact, I've talked
with a lot of people

406
00:19:27,120 --> 00:19:30,600
in the city about this.

407
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,860
I know Commissioner Aramendia
has been really also involved

408
00:19:34,860 --> 00:19:36,140
with historical Casselberry.

409
00:19:36,140 --> 00:19:40,620
In fact, Deborah Bauer, she
she's been very, very good

410
00:19:40,620 --> 00:19:44,730
at promoting and really helping
with the historic Casselberry,

411
00:19:44,730 --> 00:19:47,550
and it's grown over the
last couple of years.

412
00:19:47,550 --> 00:19:50,010
And I've talked with a
lot of people about this,

413
00:19:50,010 --> 00:19:53,040
and I think it's fantastic.

414
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,890
And I've actually been
thinking about this,

415
00:19:55,890 --> 00:19:59,850
of potentially creating maybe--

416
00:19:59,850 --> 00:20:01,680
because of that, the
conversations I've

417
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,050
had with people, a historic
day for Casselberry.

418
00:20:04,050 --> 00:20:07,800
Maybe it could be a Historic
Casselberry Day or even

419
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:12,270
a historic day for
Brightwater, Historic Day,

420
00:20:12,270 --> 00:20:13,410
or Brightwater History Day.

421
00:20:13,410 --> 00:20:15,397
So I've been thinking
about that a lot lately.

422
00:20:15,397 --> 00:20:17,430
In fact, I was going to bring
up in my commissioner comments,

423
00:20:17,430 --> 00:20:19,053
and it's--

424
00:20:19,053 --> 00:20:20,820
thank you for bringing that
up, Deborah, because I've

425
00:20:20,820 --> 00:20:22,480
been meaning to bring this up.

426
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,920
But I think it's something that
we maybe should take a look at.

427
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,130
Now that we have an
active historic group

428
00:20:29,130 --> 00:20:31,770
working within the city,
this nothing but propels us.

429
00:20:31,770 --> 00:20:37,080
We have historic
parts of the city.

430
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:37,753
Brightwater is one.

431
00:20:37,753 --> 00:20:39,120
We're dealing with
Brightwater right now,

432
00:20:39,120 --> 00:20:41,850
and I think that,
eventually, that

433
00:20:41,850 --> 00:20:47,850
could be a symbol of the
city, eventually, of its past.

434
00:20:47,850 --> 00:20:50,370
But it's a pretty unique
opportunity because of what's

435
00:20:50,370 --> 00:20:52,230
going on with
Brightwater, because it's

436
00:20:52,230 --> 00:20:57,840
such a unique focal point, and
also a unique, I would say,

437
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,850
historic marker for
Central Florida.

438
00:20:59,850 --> 00:21:01,450
It's a destination.

439
00:21:01,450 --> 00:21:03,510
So it's something
to think about.

440
00:21:03,510 --> 00:21:05,040
I've had a lot of
conversations about it,

441
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,100
and love to maybe have more
conversations about that.

442
00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:10,908


443
00:21:10,908 --> 00:21:11,850
Anything?

444
00:21:11,850 --> 00:21:12,930
If you don't mind.

445
00:21:12,930 --> 00:21:16,350
Do we know if there's any state
holidays for specific cities

446
00:21:16,350 --> 00:21:18,390
in Florida currently?

447
00:21:18,390 --> 00:21:20,580
Because I think it would be
great to even push at the state

448
00:21:20,580 --> 00:21:23,010
level to see if there could
be a Historic Casselberry

449
00:21:23,010 --> 00:21:25,050
Day as a state holiday.

450
00:21:25,050 --> 00:21:28,480
We can celebrate the
date of incorporation,

451
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,570
which is October 10th.

452
00:21:30,570 --> 00:21:31,800
Thank you.

453
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:32,890
Thank you for the clarification.

454
00:21:32,890 --> 00:21:34,860
And the reason that
April 1st was chosen

455
00:21:34,860 --> 00:21:36,630
for the historic
marker dedication

456
00:21:36,630 --> 00:21:38,160
was because,
supposedly, that was

457
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,140
the date that Hibbard
Casselberry turned

458
00:21:40,140 --> 00:21:42,060
in the paperwork to the state.

459
00:21:42,060 --> 00:21:45,690
And it was Gordon Barnett
that thought that that

460
00:21:45,690 --> 00:21:47,700
was a joke because
it was April Fools',

461
00:21:47,700 --> 00:21:48,870
so he didn't believe it.

462
00:21:48,870 --> 00:21:50,970
But he was able to sneak
it in before Gordon

463
00:21:50,970 --> 00:21:55,080
Barnett, which was Fern Park.

464
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,250
That was the battle--

465
00:21:56,250 --> 00:21:57,540
who's going to
incorporate first?

466
00:21:57,540 --> 00:21:59,880
So that's the reason that
April 1st was chosen.

467
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:01,680
Oh, great.

468
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,650
Well, I'm glad to say
that I'm a lifetime

469
00:22:04,650 --> 00:22:07,440
member of the Casselberry
Historical Society,

470
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,680
so I would encourage
everybody else to join up

471
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,780
and support the organization.

472
00:22:13,780 --> 00:22:15,840
So go ahead?

473
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,110
Oh, I just wanted to hitchhike
on Vice Mayor Bush's comments

474
00:22:19,110 --> 00:22:22,200
and take it literal and
just make sure it's said

475
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,460
and honor the Historic Society
for their great success

476
00:22:26,460 --> 00:22:30,930
of winning a historical monument
marker for the Brightwater

477
00:22:30,930 --> 00:22:33,510
Estate, which is
right now, I believe,

478
00:22:33,510 --> 00:22:36,550
planning to be
installed on April

479
00:22:36,550 --> 00:22:42,040
1, as Commissioner Aramendia
kind of alluded to that date.

480
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,920
So anyway, that's
a great success

481
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,810
that they've been pursuing for
the last two years as well.

482
00:22:46,810 --> 00:22:51,600
So I congratulate you all,
Dr. Bauer, Former Commissioner

483
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,770
Hufford, who I know is very
engaged in the Historic Society

484
00:22:55,770 --> 00:22:56,940
too.

485
00:22:56,940 --> 00:22:58,065
So anyway, that's my comment.

486
00:22:58,065 --> 00:23:01,290


487
00:23:01,290 --> 00:23:03,870
So April 1st, I show
up and nobody's there.

488
00:23:03,870 --> 00:23:04,680
Is that how that works?

489
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:05,180
[LAUGHTER]

490
00:23:05,180 --> 00:23:06,630
I'm on you.

491
00:23:06,630 --> 00:23:07,320
I got it.

492
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:11,184


493
00:23:11,184 --> 00:23:12,093
Very smart, that one.

494
00:23:12,093 --> 00:23:12,660
I've been set up.

495
00:23:12,660 --> 00:23:13,290
Yeah.

496
00:23:13,290 --> 00:23:17,550
Yeah, if that's what
you want to do, I mean,

497
00:23:17,550 --> 00:23:18,420
that's fine with us.

498
00:23:18,420 --> 00:23:20,370
I mean, I don't see
an issue with that.

499
00:23:20,370 --> 00:23:22,080
I mean, obviously,
the city manager

500
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,200
would have to look into that.

501
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:26,060
Yeah, for me, I--

502
00:23:26,060 --> 00:23:27,390
What's the [INAUDIBLE]
for the day?

503
00:23:27,390 --> 00:23:28,900
We'll have to talk
about that some more.

504
00:23:28,900 --> 00:23:30,600
Yeah, because that's an
opportunity, because I know

505
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:31,833
that's coming up,
and I thought maybe

506
00:23:31,833 --> 00:23:34,290
that could be
something we could have

507
00:23:34,290 --> 00:23:40,290
discussions about because it's
going to be a big deal for us.

508
00:23:40,290 --> 00:23:43,140
Like I said,
traditionally cities

509
00:23:43,140 --> 00:23:45,630
celebrate their date
of incorporation

510
00:23:45,630 --> 00:23:47,850
as their anniversary date.

511
00:23:47,850 --> 00:23:49,830
Like a Founder's Day.

512
00:23:49,830 --> 00:23:51,960
But not.

513
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:52,530
OK.

514
00:23:52,530 --> 00:23:56,130
We'll get back to the
citizens' comments.

515
00:23:56,130 --> 00:23:57,780
Is there anyone
else in the audience

516
00:23:57,780 --> 00:24:00,360
wishing to speak
to any item that

517
00:24:00,360 --> 00:24:02,130
was not on the regular agenda?

518
00:24:02,130 --> 00:24:06,930


519
00:24:06,930 --> 00:24:09,870
If not, we'll close that
portion of the meeting and we'll

520
00:24:09,870 --> 00:24:16,080
turn it over to Emily
Hannah, since she just was

521
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:20,100
able to transverse the area.

522
00:24:20,100 --> 00:24:23,565
And we'll have Dr. Brock
introduce here, I guess.

523
00:24:23,565 --> 00:24:32,140


524
00:24:32,140 --> 00:24:34,163
As long as she says
she wasn't lost

525
00:24:34,163 --> 00:24:36,230
and didn't know how to get here
because she'd never been here.

526
00:24:36,230 --> 00:24:36,993
I won't believe that.

527
00:24:36,993 --> 00:24:37,660
[INTERPOSING VOICES]

528
00:24:37,660 --> 00:24:40,700
She doesn't know the area.

529
00:24:40,700 --> 00:24:46,510
For those of you who don't know,
Emily was one of our planners

530
00:24:46,510 --> 00:24:49,874
in the city and moved
on to greater things.

531
00:24:49,874 --> 00:24:51,326
I hope so.

532
00:24:51,326 --> 00:24:52,060
[LAUGHS]

533
00:24:52,060 --> 00:24:54,220
So Emily doesn't really
need an introduction,

534
00:24:54,220 --> 00:24:56,500
but Emily Hanna,
executive director of Bike

535
00:24:56,500 --> 00:24:57,370
Walk Central Florida.

536
00:24:57,370 --> 00:25:00,850
And she's going to speak to
the Best Foot Forward Program

537
00:25:00,850 --> 00:25:02,860
and the city's
participation in it.

538
00:25:02,860 --> 00:25:04,150
Thank you, Kelly.

539
00:25:04,150 --> 00:25:07,210
Good evening, Mayor,
commission, City Manager Randy.

540
00:25:07,210 --> 00:25:08,440
Oh, my god, it
feels like I'm home.

541
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:12,460
So thank you guys for having
me back to present to you all

542
00:25:12,460 --> 00:25:13,930
the activities that
we've been really doing

543
00:25:13,930 --> 00:25:16,390
over the past couple of years
in the pedestrian safety

544
00:25:16,390 --> 00:25:18,340
program, Best Foot Forward.

545
00:25:18,340 --> 00:25:21,790
So just to familiarize probably
the audience and some of you

546
00:25:21,790 --> 00:25:23,620
that might not know,
Best Foot Forward

547
00:25:23,620 --> 00:25:25,270
is a pedestrian
safety program that's

548
00:25:25,270 --> 00:25:27,170
across the entire region.

549
00:25:27,170 --> 00:25:29,170
So each individual
county and city

550
00:25:29,170 --> 00:25:32,620
participate and have specific
outreach and enforcement

551
00:25:32,620 --> 00:25:34,967
efforts that they take place,
and also the engineering

552
00:25:34,967 --> 00:25:36,400
improvements that they
do to the crosswalks

553
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,580
are all very unique across
each individual city and county

554
00:25:39,580 --> 00:25:40,810
based on their program.

555
00:25:40,810 --> 00:25:42,880
But all of this is a
part of a regional effort

556
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,910
to change driver behavior
and, really, to make drivers

557
00:25:45,910 --> 00:25:48,790
be more aware of pedestrians and
cyclists out in the community,

558
00:25:48,790 --> 00:25:50,860
and remind them that
there is a state

559
00:25:50,860 --> 00:25:52,660
statute that says
that they have to stop

560
00:25:52,660 --> 00:25:54,110
and let people cross the road.

561
00:25:54,110 --> 00:25:56,450
So really that's the whole
impetus of the program.

562
00:25:56,450 --> 00:25:59,680
But today, I'm presenting to you
specifically what Casselberry

563
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,210
has been doing in that program.

564
00:26:01,210 --> 00:26:03,730
And honestly, I'm here to tell
you what rock stars you are,

565
00:26:03,730 --> 00:26:05,120
but you already knew that.

566
00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:08,470
So there will be some plugs
throughout the presentation.

567
00:26:08,470 --> 00:26:10,630
And it feels really good to
be back in front of you guys

568
00:26:10,630 --> 00:26:12,640
presenting all of this
information about all the work

569
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,810
that you have been
doing in the city.

570
00:26:14,810 --> 00:26:17,230
I've been keeping an
eye on all of you.

571
00:26:17,230 --> 00:26:19,390
But here's what we've
done from October 1

572
00:26:19,390 --> 00:26:22,220
to September of this past year.

573
00:26:22,220 --> 00:26:24,980
We've held four high-visibility
enforcement operations.

574
00:26:24,980 --> 00:26:26,860
So that's your police
department participating

575
00:26:26,860 --> 00:26:28,510
in those regional efforts.

576
00:26:28,510 --> 00:26:30,490
There were four
details held, which

577
00:26:30,490 --> 00:26:33,160
essentially, a detail
is an enforcement

578
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:34,600
effort at a specific crosswalk.

579
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,510
So sometimes, if our partners
say, like, Orange County, city

580
00:26:37,510 --> 00:26:40,450
of Orlando, they have lots
of police enforcement staff

581
00:26:40,450 --> 00:26:41,920
available to do these efforts.

582
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,560
They might do multiple
crosswalks in one day.

583
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,780
You guys have an
incredible staff of the PD,

584
00:26:46,780 --> 00:26:50,110
and they hit one crosswalk hard
each and every enforcement.

585
00:26:50,110 --> 00:26:53,170
And they are often
top-performing in our metrics

586
00:26:53,170 --> 00:26:55,520
that I'll talk about
in a minute as well.

587
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,160
And then, of course,
they've issued

588
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,380
over 51 warnings and citations.

589
00:26:59,380 --> 00:27:02,320
So that's not-- we don't want
to issue tickets in the program.

590
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:03,350
That's not the point.

591
00:27:03,350 --> 00:27:04,390
It's education.

592
00:27:04,390 --> 00:27:06,430
Every time a driver
gets a citation,

593
00:27:06,430 --> 00:27:07,990
you know that they're
telling somebody

594
00:27:07,990 --> 00:27:09,370
else that they got a ticket.

595
00:27:09,370 --> 00:27:11,060
Did you know that
this was the law?

596
00:27:11,060 --> 00:27:13,000
So we count that as
education, right?

597
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,470
Hopefully, they're
telling people--

598
00:27:14,470 --> 00:27:17,240
hopefully in a positive
way, not negative.

599
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:18,970
But we call that education.

600
00:27:18,970 --> 00:27:22,000
So we're not out there
to put a financial burden

601
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:22,990
or issue these tickets.

602
00:27:22,990 --> 00:27:24,700
Really, it's up to
the enforcement agency

603
00:27:24,700 --> 00:27:26,020
whether or not they
issue warnings,

604
00:27:26,020 --> 00:27:28,690
or if the violation is
incredibly egregious,

605
00:27:28,690 --> 00:27:30,550
they usually will cite them.

606
00:27:30,550 --> 00:27:33,790
We've held over five
events and presentations,

607
00:27:33,790 --> 00:27:37,120
reached about 1,100 people with
those events in presentations

608
00:27:37,120 --> 00:27:39,880
and handed out over
2,100 materials

609
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:41,050
to different individuals.

610
00:27:41,050 --> 00:27:43,930
And that could be educational
material related to the driver

611
00:27:43,930 --> 00:27:47,350
yield law, or it could be just
reminders like pens or graphics

612
00:27:47,350 --> 00:27:50,170
or pencils or stickers
that we have that

613
00:27:50,170 --> 00:27:51,760
really just remind
people to watch

614
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,710
out for people in crosswalks.

615
00:27:53,710 --> 00:27:56,380
We have bumper stickers that
you'll likely see around

616
00:27:56,380 --> 00:27:57,760
your community,
especially if you've

617
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,590
attended a event recently.

618
00:27:59,590 --> 00:28:01,780
And then, lastly, we really
work with your Public Works

619
00:28:01,780 --> 00:28:05,260
and Engineering Department to
monitor specific crosswalks

620
00:28:05,260 --> 00:28:06,830
throughout the community.

621
00:28:06,830 --> 00:28:09,250
So we've monitored five to date.

622
00:28:09,250 --> 00:28:12,580
We completed over 30 crosswalk
data collections, which

623
00:28:12,580 --> 00:28:14,140
I'll talk about in detail.

624
00:28:14,140 --> 00:28:16,210
And we supported
three other projects

625
00:28:16,210 --> 00:28:17,680
within the city of Casselberry.

626
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,660
And of course, I could
not come to the city

627
00:28:19,660 --> 00:28:21,850
and work with you guys without
supporting some of the efforts

628
00:28:21,850 --> 00:28:24,940
that you guys have in
complete streets and the work

629
00:28:24,940 --> 00:28:27,880
that Dr. Brock is doing,
which has been fantastic.

630
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,250
And I'm sure you all
know of his kudos

631
00:28:30,250 --> 00:28:32,200
to winning the
Change Agent Award

632
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:33,370
from Smart Growth America.

633
00:28:33,370 --> 00:28:37,540
So huge win for all of us in
the region for Dr. Brock's work.

634
00:28:37,540 --> 00:28:39,640
One of the things that I
really want to highlight to you

635
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,540
guys today, the importance of
a new regional summit that we

636
00:28:43,540 --> 00:28:45,530
added to the program last year.

637
00:28:45,530 --> 00:28:48,490
So right now, we're meeting
with our regional stakeholder

638
00:28:48,490 --> 00:28:50,440
partners but in their
respective counties--

639
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,600
so all of the cities that
participate within Seminole

640
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,420
County all talk to each other,
Orange County, Osceola County,

641
00:28:55,420 --> 00:28:56,200
and so forth.

642
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,520
We really decided that
we're still siloed.

643
00:28:58,520 --> 00:28:59,740
We need to have
these conversations

644
00:28:59,740 --> 00:29:00,620
across the region.

645
00:29:00,620 --> 00:29:03,760
So we brought everybody
together in one big summit,

646
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,340
and that was held
in April of 2022.

647
00:29:06,340 --> 00:29:07,870
And, at that time,
we decided, you

648
00:29:07,870 --> 00:29:09,730
know what, there's some
really outstanding people that

649
00:29:09,730 --> 00:29:10,930
are part of this coalition.

650
00:29:10,930 --> 00:29:13,550
We need to thank
them for their work.

651
00:29:13,550 --> 00:29:17,230
And so we put a call out for
the three E awards, as we'd

652
00:29:17,230 --> 00:29:20,080
like to call, one for
enforcement, one for education,

653
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:21,820
and then one for engineering.

654
00:29:21,820 --> 00:29:24,880
And we had the coalition
partners decide who to nominate

655
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,060
and who should when
those three E awards.

656
00:29:28,060 --> 00:29:32,350
And it is such an honor to
say that Sergeant Blunt won

657
00:29:32,350 --> 00:29:35,560
the enforcement award for being
an outstanding enforcement

658
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,570
partner to work
within the program,

659
00:29:37,570 --> 00:29:40,360
and not only we at Bike Walk
Center Florida recognize that,

660
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,120
but our coalition partners
among the entire region

661
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:44,500
recognize that.

662
00:29:44,500 --> 00:29:46,900
So Sergeant Blunt has
been fantastic not only

663
00:29:46,900 --> 00:29:48,370
in working with
us in the program

664
00:29:48,370 --> 00:29:50,020
and spotlighting the
work that they've

665
00:29:50,020 --> 00:29:51,490
been doing in the
city of Casselberry,

666
00:29:51,490 --> 00:29:54,340
but educating and telling
other law enforcement partners

667
00:29:54,340 --> 00:29:56,890
about the work that they're
doing and getting them

668
00:29:56,890 --> 00:29:59,440
excited about the
operations that we

669
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,830
hold are about really educating
on that driver yield law.

670
00:30:02,830 --> 00:30:06,400
So last year, he was the
inaugural enforcement winner,

671
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:10,000
so kudos to Sergeant Blunt
and the CPD for all the work

672
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,860
that you guys do
continuously on this effort.

673
00:30:12,860 --> 00:30:15,250
So I did want to highlight that
to say how important that is

674
00:30:15,250 --> 00:30:17,710
and how excited I was--
not biased at all.

675
00:30:17,710 --> 00:30:19,690
You can't tell.

676
00:30:19,690 --> 00:30:22,120
So as I said, we
monitored crosswalks

677
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,560
in the Best Foot Forward
program across the city.

678
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,070
These are the five locations
that we monitored last year.

679
00:30:27,070 --> 00:30:29,300
These locations have
slightly changed this year.

680
00:30:29,300 --> 00:30:31,420
So next year, I'll be up
presenting, hopefully,

681
00:30:31,420 --> 00:30:33,580
something a little different,
in different locations

682
00:30:33,580 --> 00:30:34,600
that we help.

683
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,360
But these were the five
crosswalks that we monitored.

684
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,940
And here are some engineering
improvements that were made.

685
00:30:40,940 --> 00:30:43,900
So we're really fortunate to
have a partner like you guys

686
00:30:43,900 --> 00:30:47,260
in the program because we get
to suggest recommendations

687
00:30:47,260 --> 00:30:50,230
to your crosswalks, and your
public works department is very

688
00:30:50,230 --> 00:30:52,780
quick to implement or put
those into their plans

689
00:30:52,780 --> 00:30:53,990
and make happen.

690
00:30:53,990 --> 00:30:56,230
So at Queens Mirror
and Lost Lake Lane,

691
00:30:56,230 --> 00:30:58,990
there was a rapid-flashing
beacon installed.

692
00:30:58,990 --> 00:31:00,880
And that yield
rate-- so the number

693
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,950
of the percentage
of drivers that stop

694
00:31:02,950 --> 00:31:05,650
and let people cross the road--

695
00:31:05,650 --> 00:31:08,590
doubled from 40% to
80% right overnight.

696
00:31:08,590 --> 00:31:10,690
We had some issues
with some lighting

697
00:31:10,690 --> 00:31:13,420
because those were solar,
and the trees kind of made

698
00:31:13,420 --> 00:31:16,360
those lights a little dim, but
our data collectors observe

699
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,840
these during their observations,
and we sent that information

700
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,970
back to Kelly and the
partners so that they can make

701
00:31:21,970 --> 00:31:24,370
those changes in real
time so that nobody

702
00:31:24,370 --> 00:31:27,310
has to feel unsafe about
walking and biking in the city.

703
00:31:27,310 --> 00:31:30,880
At Crystal Bowl and
Casselberry Elementary,

704
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,340
we did a new type of
pedestrian treatment

705
00:31:33,340 --> 00:31:35,290
that we've actually been
talking about but no one was

706
00:31:35,290 --> 00:31:38,290
really bold enough to do
except for your deputy--

707
00:31:38,290 --> 00:31:39,790
your public works director.

708
00:31:39,790 --> 00:31:41,590
So Kelly decided
that we were going

709
00:31:41,590 --> 00:31:44,290
to do this gateway treatment
at this elementary school.

710
00:31:44,290 --> 00:31:45,790
We measured data before.

711
00:31:45,790 --> 00:31:47,900
It was yielding at about 36%--

712
00:31:47,900 --> 00:31:50,290
so about 1 in 3 drivers were
really stopping and letting

713
00:31:50,290 --> 00:31:51,340
people cross the road.

714
00:31:51,340 --> 00:31:54,160
Now I'll caveat and say
that is outside of school

715
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,560
crossing times, because there is
a school crossing guard there,

716
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,570
and we do not interact with
the school crossing guard

717
00:31:58,570 --> 00:32:00,347
because they have a very
important job to do,

718
00:32:00,347 --> 00:32:01,480
and that is to
make sure everybody

719
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,220
gets to the other side
of the road safely.

720
00:32:03,220 --> 00:32:06,370
So we don't try to collect
data during that time.

721
00:32:06,370 --> 00:32:08,230
But apparently, for
drivers that are outside

722
00:32:08,230 --> 00:32:09,760
of that school zone,
they think that nobody

723
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:10,730
should be allowed to cross.

724
00:32:10,730 --> 00:32:13,370
So we try to educate that
all hours of the day,

725
00:32:13,370 --> 00:32:14,920
even during school
and outside of school,

726
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,050
that you should be able
to cross that street.

727
00:32:17,050 --> 00:32:19,090
And so by doing the
gateway treatment,

728
00:32:19,090 --> 00:32:21,370
by adding the high
visibility paddles that

729
00:32:21,370 --> 00:32:23,950
are in that roadway, along
with changing out and adding

730
00:32:23,950 --> 00:32:26,920
the stop bar sign or the stop
bar that's there to let drivers

731
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,320
know that that's where
they should stop their car,

732
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,780
we've increased that
yield rate to 74%.

733
00:32:31,780 --> 00:32:33,850
And since then, that
has been a project

734
00:32:33,850 --> 00:32:36,230
that we've sent other
partners across the region.

735
00:32:36,230 --> 00:32:37,810
And I can certainly
tell you, with fact,

736
00:32:37,810 --> 00:32:39,790
that we've got two or three
other municipalities that

737
00:32:39,790 --> 00:32:42,010
are inputting this type of
work, this countermeasure

738
00:32:42,010 --> 00:32:45,260
on their streets now because of
the fact that you guys did it.

739
00:32:45,260 --> 00:32:48,610
So kudos to you for being
pilots on all of these safety

740
00:32:48,610 --> 00:32:51,910
improvements in your city.

741
00:32:51,910 --> 00:32:53,980
All right, so Operation Best
Foot Forward-- like I said,

742
00:32:53,980 --> 00:32:57,520
we held four enforcements,
four details, and 51 warnings

743
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,470
and citations, one
of the largest number

744
00:32:59,470 --> 00:33:01,120
of warnings and
citations issued for

745
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:02,530
our small municipal partners.

746
00:33:02,530 --> 00:33:06,100
So kudos to Chief
and his CPD team.

747
00:33:06,100 --> 00:33:09,940
We had lots of people out during
our enforcements last year.

748
00:33:09,940 --> 00:33:13,030
They are interesting to
attend if you have a chance

749
00:33:13,030 --> 00:33:15,490
to come out and watch one of
those enforcement operations

750
00:33:15,490 --> 00:33:18,550
take place, or if you're,
like Mayor, and join in

751
00:33:18,550 --> 00:33:20,560
on the enforcement
operation and cross the road

752
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,660
and become our decoy
during that enforcement.

753
00:33:22,660 --> 00:33:26,320
I promise, we were
very safe with him.

754
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,690
But we invite you
out to participate.

755
00:33:28,690 --> 00:33:31,210
Even Commissioner Dallari
came out and participated

756
00:33:31,210 --> 00:33:35,530
at one of the locations
that is a joint jurisdiction

757
00:33:35,530 --> 00:33:37,810
between Seminole County and
the City of Casselberry,

758
00:33:37,810 --> 00:33:39,550
at Park and Lake.

759
00:33:39,550 --> 00:33:41,530
And we were trying to point
out to him that there were

760
00:33:41,530 --> 00:33:43,870
some safety concerns that we
really needed Seminole County

761
00:33:43,870 --> 00:33:45,460
to step up and take care of.

762
00:33:45,460 --> 00:33:46,660
So we're still
working with Seminole

763
00:33:46,660 --> 00:33:48,620
County on those issues.

764
00:33:48,620 --> 00:33:51,490
We are always pointing
to them at Casselberry

765
00:33:51,490 --> 00:33:54,170
is doing as to lead by example.

766
00:33:54,170 --> 00:33:56,643
So our outreach efforts--
we were out in the community

767
00:33:56,643 --> 00:33:57,910
attending those five
different events.

768
00:33:57,910 --> 00:34:01,120
Like I said, 1,100
interactions, with 2,100

769
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,850
educational materials
distributed, along with some

770
00:34:03,850 --> 00:34:05,110
helmets.

771
00:34:05,110 --> 00:34:07,180
We are certified helmet
fitters, and we do

772
00:34:07,180 --> 00:34:08,889
fit helmets when appropriate.

773
00:34:08,889 --> 00:34:11,060
Not every event is
designed for that.

774
00:34:11,060 --> 00:34:13,989
And we even got the
city manager out there

775
00:34:13,989 --> 00:34:15,909
representing to yield for peds.

776
00:34:15,909 --> 00:34:18,159
Thank you, Randy.

777
00:34:18,159 --> 00:34:22,600
So this year's program we
are doing three enforcements.

778
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,900
So we're scoped to do three, but
I always-- we hold for a year.

779
00:34:25,900 --> 00:34:27,123
We do one a quarter.

780
00:34:27,123 --> 00:34:29,250
And usually, every
year, CPD always

781
00:34:29,250 --> 00:34:30,730
participates in all of them.

782
00:34:30,730 --> 00:34:32,340
So that's never an issue.

783
00:34:32,340 --> 00:34:33,600
They like to participate.

784
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,100
And when we do,
we encourage that,

785
00:34:35,100 --> 00:34:38,130
and we'll always support your
additional efforts in that.

786
00:34:38,130 --> 00:34:40,330
We are monitoring five
crosswalks this year.

787
00:34:40,330 --> 00:34:41,350
Some of them are the same.

788
00:34:41,350 --> 00:34:43,710
Some of them are new, in
anticipation for projects

789
00:34:43,710 --> 00:34:45,780
that you guys are
building in the city.

790
00:34:45,780 --> 00:34:47,320
So we're taking
advantage of that,

791
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,590
and we will be doing five
more presentations and events,

792
00:34:49,590 --> 00:34:52,590
so we will likely see you out
at this beautiful park and other

793
00:34:52,590 --> 00:34:54,060
places throughout the city.

794
00:34:54,060 --> 00:34:56,040
And ultimately, as
always, thank you

795
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,200
for supporting the Best Foot
Forward pedestrian safety

796
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,680
program and being a very
important partner in the work

797
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,360
that we're doing
across the region

798
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,540
because without you, we wouldn't
have the opportunity to move

799
00:35:06,540 --> 00:35:09,540
the needle, and we wouldn't
have other partners

800
00:35:09,540 --> 00:35:11,940
being able to look at those
that are moving the needle

801
00:35:11,940 --> 00:35:14,100
and doing the right thing
for pedestrian safety.

802
00:35:14,100 --> 00:35:17,280
So thank you for all of the
things that you do in the city,

803
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:18,540
and I hope that
you continue to be

804
00:35:18,540 --> 00:35:20,700
the change-makers that you are.

805
00:35:20,700 --> 00:35:22,560
Happy to answer any questions
that you might have about

806
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:24,570
the program or Bike
Walk or anything

807
00:35:24,570 --> 00:35:25,980
that I've been up to lately.

808
00:35:25,980 --> 00:35:26,550
Thank you.

809
00:35:26,550 --> 00:35:29,880


810
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,870
Question-- Emily, how do
you guys get your stats?

811
00:35:33,870 --> 00:35:34,560
How do you collect?

812
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,570
What's the data collection
component to that?

813
00:35:36,570 --> 00:35:39,300
Sure, so the data
collection-- we send a data

814
00:35:39,300 --> 00:35:40,740
collector out to a crosswalk.

815
00:35:40,740 --> 00:35:44,520
That crosswalk is identified
by the city partners here.

816
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,740
We make some recommendations--
obviously, I know the city,

817
00:35:46,740 --> 00:35:47,880
so I've made a few.

818
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:49,860
But we go out and
we cross the road

819
00:35:49,860 --> 00:35:53,110
20 different times in
three different occasions,

820
00:35:53,110 --> 00:35:54,990
so 60 total crossings.

821
00:35:54,990 --> 00:35:57,360
And that's how we get our
average yield rate for

822
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,280
that specific data collection.

823
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,100
What I like to do is try
to send different data

824
00:36:02,100 --> 00:36:04,230
collectors to that crosswalk.

825
00:36:04,230 --> 00:36:09,450
We have varying ages, genders,
and ethnicities within our data

826
00:36:09,450 --> 00:36:11,460
collection program,
and so we like

827
00:36:11,460 --> 00:36:13,710
to send out multiple
different types of people

828
00:36:13,710 --> 00:36:16,410
to cross the road to see what
that average data comes back

829
00:36:16,410 --> 00:36:16,950
at.

830
00:36:16,950 --> 00:36:19,510
But that's ultimately
how we collect that data.

831
00:36:19,510 --> 00:36:21,870
We do six different
data collections

832
00:36:21,870 --> 00:36:23,550
for each one crosswalk.

833
00:36:23,550 --> 00:36:25,530
So that's about 30
that we do a year.

834
00:36:25,530 --> 00:36:26,880
OK, awesome.

835
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:27,390
Thank you.

836
00:36:27,390 --> 00:36:30,360
You're welcome.

837
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,130
Yeah, first, nice
to see you, Emily.

838
00:36:33,130 --> 00:36:34,630
Thank you for the presentation.

839
00:36:34,630 --> 00:36:38,700
I find it-- to be
able to see the data

840
00:36:38,700 --> 00:36:45,720
and to see that relatively
simple and inexpensive

841
00:36:45,720 --> 00:36:49,050
changes are doubling the
compliance rate is amazing,

842
00:36:49,050 --> 00:36:49,980
really.

843
00:36:49,980 --> 00:36:53,700
And I will say also, just by
looking at those pictures,

844
00:36:53,700 --> 00:36:56,250
it definitely visually
is easier to understand,

845
00:36:56,250 --> 00:36:58,260
OK, I need to pay
attention here.

846
00:36:58,260 --> 00:37:01,810
But yeah, doubled in both
cases is super impressive.

847
00:37:01,810 --> 00:37:03,670
So keep up the great work.

848
00:37:03,670 --> 00:37:05,070
Thank you.

849
00:37:05,070 --> 00:37:08,550
I think education
is the key here

850
00:37:08,550 --> 00:37:11,790
because it is confusing
to a lot of people,

851
00:37:11,790 --> 00:37:18,280
and I've been confused by
it myself, quite honestly.

852
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:24,630
But when you do yield, you
get a lot of people that--

853
00:37:24,630 --> 00:37:26,430
especially when
you're turning right--

854
00:37:26,430 --> 00:37:29,580
somebody's crossing, you get
people blowing horns at you

855
00:37:29,580 --> 00:37:31,470
and all kinds of stuff.

856
00:37:31,470 --> 00:37:34,740
So the education is the key.

857
00:37:34,740 --> 00:37:37,950
And the more we talk about it,
the better it's going to get.

858
00:37:37,950 --> 00:37:38,790
Absolutely.

859
00:37:38,790 --> 00:37:41,360


860
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:42,170
Go ahead.

861
00:37:42,170 --> 00:37:45,200
Since I get to enjoy the one
over at Crystal Ball Circle,

862
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,080
I would say that it's
pretty interesting

863
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:52,070
because, at the same time,
it's adding that value.

864
00:37:52,070 --> 00:37:55,940
It's interesting how even
then, as good as it is,

865
00:37:55,940 --> 00:37:58,730
you have some people that will
stop at 3:00 in the morning,

866
00:37:58,730 --> 00:38:00,755
and it's like, there's
nobody in the sidewalk.

867
00:38:00,755 --> 00:38:03,350


868
00:38:03,350 --> 00:38:05,750
OK, hey, I'm behind you.

869
00:38:05,750 --> 00:38:06,890
No problem.

870
00:38:06,890 --> 00:38:08,960
Then, when they get to the stop
sign, they don't even stop.

871
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:09,770
They just turn right.

872
00:38:09,770 --> 00:38:12,410
And it's like, so you
did well back there,

873
00:38:12,410 --> 00:38:14,360
but you totally failed
the test in front of us.

874
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:15,690
Come on now.

875
00:38:15,690 --> 00:38:20,540
But I will say that really
has woken up the neighbors.

876
00:38:20,540 --> 00:38:23,090
And that's usually
the biggest issue

877
00:38:23,090 --> 00:38:27,590
is you become so immune to it
that you tend not to realize

878
00:38:27,590 --> 00:38:30,440
that you do have an
important crossing here,

879
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:34,260
and you do live in
the neighborhood.

880
00:38:34,260 --> 00:38:36,950
These are going to be your
kids or somebody else's kids.

881
00:38:36,950 --> 00:38:40,580
So I do appreciate that even
though there's a ghost there

882
00:38:40,580 --> 00:38:44,600
and there's nobody crossing,
you still have that opportunity

883
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,490
where people still stop.

884
00:38:46,490 --> 00:38:48,680
So it makes them cognizant.

885
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,840
So I would say
that it does work.

886
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:52,940
I appreciate your work.

887
00:38:52,940 --> 00:38:55,740
I know that you really hold
this in high regards to that.

888
00:38:55,740 --> 00:38:58,800
So I welcome whatever
else you want to do here.

889
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:00,440
And I know that Kelly
will [INAUDIBLE] too.

890
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:01,880
But thank you very much, Emily.

891
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,890
Thank you, Commissioner,
I appreciate it.

892
00:39:04,890 --> 00:39:05,630
Anything else?

893
00:39:05,630 --> 00:39:07,040
Anything else?

894
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:08,150
We appreciate you.

895
00:39:08,150 --> 00:39:08,780
Of course.

896
00:39:08,780 --> 00:39:11,850
Thank you, as always, and I hope
to be back not in a few years.

897
00:39:11,850 --> 00:39:12,680
But a little bit sooner.

898
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,560
And thank you to your team
of wonderful employees

899
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,900
at the city to allow us
to be able to do this work

900
00:39:17,900 --> 00:39:19,670
and monitor this
data and bring back

901
00:39:19,670 --> 00:39:21,470
the before and
afters to you guys

902
00:39:21,470 --> 00:39:23,120
to show you that the
work you are doing

903
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,020
is making a difference
in your community.

904
00:39:25,020 --> 00:39:25,590
So thank you.

905
00:39:25,590 --> 00:39:27,900
I encourage everybody
else to participate.

906
00:39:27,900 --> 00:39:30,260
It's kind of fun.

907
00:39:30,260 --> 00:39:36,440
The one lady that does it from,
I believe, Orlando Health--

908
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:37,520
Orlando Health, yep.

909
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:42,470
Yeah, she's been a
trooper, and I've

910
00:39:42,470 --> 00:39:45,830
been participating with her
on a couple of occasions.

911
00:39:45,830 --> 00:39:47,290
So it's kind of fun.

912
00:39:47,290 --> 00:39:49,220
It's something
that will certainly

913
00:39:49,220 --> 00:39:55,400
encourage your attention
to detail when it

914
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:56,790
comes to these kind of things.

915
00:39:56,790 --> 00:39:58,950
So we appreciate it.

916
00:39:58,950 --> 00:39:59,690
Thank you.

917
00:39:59,690 --> 00:40:02,600
Thanks, guys.

918
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,610
Moving on.

919
00:40:04,610 --> 00:40:08,060
We'll go to the city
manager's report.

920
00:40:08,060 --> 00:40:10,400
Thank you, Mayor,
commissioners, I'll be brief.

921
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,070
I'll draw your attention to the
Procurement Information Report

922
00:40:13,070 --> 00:40:14,870
included in your
packet that speaks

923
00:40:14,870 --> 00:40:19,700
to contractual commitments
that were entered into by staff

924
00:40:19,700 --> 00:40:21,350
through their
delegated authority

925
00:40:21,350 --> 00:40:23,510
under the procurement policy.

926
00:40:23,510 --> 00:40:26,810
And beyond that, that
concludes my report.

927
00:40:26,810 --> 00:40:28,460
OK, move on to attorney.

928
00:40:28,460 --> 00:40:31,520
I have no report.

929
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:33,240
When have you ever
seen an attorney that

930
00:40:33,240 --> 00:40:35,330
didn't have something to say?

931
00:40:35,330 --> 00:40:36,950
It's great.

932
00:40:36,950 --> 00:40:38,870
OK, we'll move on to city clerk.

933
00:40:38,870 --> 00:40:43,100
I know she has several things
she wants to talk about.

934
00:40:43,100 --> 00:40:46,500
Just wanted to let everybody
know that this coming Saturday,

935
00:40:46,500 --> 00:40:48,800
February 18, we
have several events

936
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:52,130
going on all at the same time.

937
00:40:52,130 --> 00:40:56,210
We'll start off with our
Mardi Paws Parade at 5:00 PM,

938
00:40:56,210 --> 00:40:58,140
here at Lake Concord Park.

939
00:40:58,140 --> 00:41:02,390
That'll be followed by our
Mardi Gras Music Festival.

940
00:41:02,390 --> 00:41:04,280
That will be from 6:00 to 9:00.

941
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:08,480
And simultaneously, there'll
be two different art exhibits

942
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,790
going on, one at the art
house for the Seminole

943
00:41:10,790 --> 00:41:14,120
County Printmakers Exhibition.

944
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:17,360
They'll be having a--

945
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,460
that'll be from 6:00 to 8:00.

946
00:41:19,460 --> 00:41:24,227
And then, over at the Sculpture
House, I cannot say the last

947
00:41:24,227 --> 00:41:25,160
name, but I'll let you know.

948
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:29,840
It's Eugene Ofori-- last name
I will not even butcher--

949
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:31,760
and that will be
from 6:00 to 8:00.

950
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,987


951
00:41:34,987 --> 00:41:36,860
OK, we'll go back to--

952
00:41:36,860 --> 00:41:38,060
down the--

953
00:41:38,060 --> 00:41:39,590
So I've been busy.

954
00:41:39,590 --> 00:41:42,390
So we'll start a
couple of weeks ago.

955
00:41:42,390 --> 00:41:45,470
I went ahead, and I joined
with Dr. Deborah Bauer,

956
00:41:45,470 --> 00:41:50,960
and we had a conversation
pretty much about preservation

957
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,870
and the city's work and
working with the preservation

958
00:41:53,870 --> 00:41:56,510
of the Brightwater Estate.

959
00:41:56,510 --> 00:41:59,240
So that was decently attended.

960
00:41:59,240 --> 00:42:03,650
Then, also went
ahead and, let's see,

961
00:42:03,650 --> 00:42:07,370
we had the topping off
of the police station,

962
00:42:07,370 --> 00:42:10,760
so very well-attended, great
to see the walls going up.

963
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,220
And we're halfway
there, so something

964
00:42:13,220 --> 00:42:16,340
to be very proud of as well.

965
00:42:16,340 --> 00:42:19,460
Also, I was able to
participate as a facilitator

966
00:42:19,460 --> 00:42:20,600
for Leadership Seminole.

967
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,880
We had arts and
culture last Friday.

968
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,260
And the city of Casselberry
hosts a ceramic class.

969
00:42:27,260 --> 00:42:29,220
That's what we do
each and every year.

970
00:42:29,220 --> 00:42:31,970
I also speak in behalf as
president of Seminole Cultural

971
00:42:31,970 --> 00:42:35,840
Arts Council, so we have our
15-minute speech of what we

972
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:37,560
do with the arts there as well.

973
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,540
Next year, since I am part
of the committee that puts it

974
00:42:40,540 --> 00:42:42,880
together, we're
going to be bringing

975
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,370
them to the new art
house and showcase that

976
00:42:45,370 --> 00:42:47,420
and do it here instead.

977
00:42:47,420 --> 00:42:50,260
So very happy to report on that.

978
00:42:50,260 --> 00:42:53,770
And also-- let's see-- we
had [? Counto ?] last week.

979
00:42:53,770 --> 00:42:58,420
[? Counto ?] was hosted
by the City of Oviedo,

980
00:42:58,420 --> 00:43:01,030
and they had a couple
of things of discussion.

981
00:43:01,030 --> 00:43:03,340
They had the new fire
truck that they showed us.

982
00:43:03,340 --> 00:43:05,450
It's a ladder truck.

983
00:43:05,450 --> 00:43:08,470
And I think at 1.2 to 1.5--

984
00:43:08,470 --> 00:43:10,720
depends how much
apparatus you want to go

985
00:43:10,720 --> 00:43:13,360
ahead and add to the vehicle.

986
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:15,430
They're one of the
few cities that still

987
00:43:15,430 --> 00:43:18,100
has their own fire
department instead of having

988
00:43:18,100 --> 00:43:20,080
Seminole County services.

989
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:23,710
And they also had a presentation
on their downtown district,

990
00:43:23,710 --> 00:43:27,670
and what they're trying to do--
because they're in that moment

991
00:43:27,670 --> 00:43:31,600
that they're growing, so they
have a zoning district called

992
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,900
Downtown Transitional,
which means that as they're

993
00:43:34,900 --> 00:43:39,370
moving forward, the opportunity
is there to have more density.

994
00:43:39,370 --> 00:43:43,930
Of course, their density is
sort of limited, obviously,

995
00:43:43,930 --> 00:43:46,930
because of roadways,
infrastructures, et cetera.

996
00:43:46,930 --> 00:43:49,840
But it gives a cohesive plan
of where it is that they're

997
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,270
looking to move forward.

998
00:43:52,270 --> 00:43:55,600
And then for commissioners'
reports from different cities,

999
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:59,500
we had Longwood, who went
ahead and discussed some

1000
00:43:59,500 --> 00:44:02,650
of the events that they did in
the past couple of weeks, SMaSH

1001
00:44:02,650 --> 00:44:03,970
Festival being one of them.

1002
00:44:03,970 --> 00:44:06,520
SMaSH received around
300 to 400 people

1003
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:08,630
that were able to attend.

1004
00:44:08,630 --> 00:44:12,400
City of Lake Mary also mentioned
some of the festivities they've

1005
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,980
done in the past month or two.

1006
00:44:14,980 --> 00:44:17,800
We had City of Winter Springs.

1007
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:21,730
She had a question of how
long the meetings run.

1008
00:44:21,730 --> 00:44:24,890
Seems to be that their
meetings run over five hours.

1009
00:44:24,890 --> 00:44:28,480
So we pretty much just
let them know how much--

1010
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:32,620
in all of our cities, how long
our meetings usually run for.

1011
00:44:32,620 --> 00:44:34,840
City of Altamonte-- same
thing, just the festivities

1012
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:36,310
and the new year.

1013
00:44:36,310 --> 00:44:40,210
We haven't met since
December, so a lot of us

1014
00:44:40,210 --> 00:44:43,570
were just trying to get over
that hump of the holidays.

1015
00:44:43,570 --> 00:44:45,310
Water and soil, for example--

1016
00:44:45,310 --> 00:44:47,900
they're going to go
ahead and join us.

1017
00:44:47,900 --> 00:44:49,450
We're going to be
hosting Earth Fest here

1018
00:44:49,450 --> 00:44:51,790
in the city of Casselberry,
along with Friends of the Park,

1019
00:44:51,790 --> 00:44:53,260
April 29th.

1020
00:44:53,260 --> 00:44:55,720
So they're one of the
members that always join us.

1021
00:44:55,720 --> 00:44:59,500
So they're very excited
to join that with us.

1022
00:44:59,500 --> 00:45:01,300
Seminole State
College-- they reported,

1023
00:45:01,300 --> 00:45:03,400
too, on the new semester.

1024
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,910
And City of Oviedo--
well, that's

1025
00:45:06,910 --> 00:45:09,340
what their presentation was.

1026
00:45:09,340 --> 00:45:11,710
Seminole County was
not at the meeting.

1027
00:45:11,710 --> 00:45:15,010
And Sanford had to
check out earlier,

1028
00:45:15,010 --> 00:45:17,890
but she did go ahead and leave
some notes behind of some

1029
00:45:17,890 --> 00:45:19,300
of the stuff that
they're working,

1030
00:45:19,300 --> 00:45:23,290
things they're adding to
the riverfront, bathrooms

1031
00:45:23,290 --> 00:45:25,330
that they're adding
there as well.

1032
00:45:25,330 --> 00:45:27,460
And other than that, let's see--

1033
00:45:27,460 --> 00:45:30,320
Friday, went ahead, attended
the food truck event.

1034
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:31,630
Unfortunately, it
was rained out,

1035
00:45:31,630 --> 00:45:36,250
so by 7:45, the park was
pretty much cleared out.

1036
00:45:36,250 --> 00:45:39,280
Other than that, we also
have a historic marker

1037
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,020
dedication for Hedy Lamarr.

1038
00:45:41,020 --> 00:45:45,070
That will be March
12th, and that

1039
00:45:45,070 --> 00:45:48,640
will be at Red Bug Lake Park.

1040
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:50,440
And that will be at 4:00.

1041
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:53,560
It's outside city limits,
but it is Casselberry.

1042
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:57,400
And the Jewish foundation
for Historic Preservation

1043
00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:59,000
is paying for that
marker as well.

1044
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:02,260
So there'll be some attendees
if you all wish to be there.

1045
00:46:02,260 --> 00:46:05,380
Hedy Lamarr was a
resident of Casselberry,

1046
00:46:05,380 --> 00:46:09,730
and it's going to be dedicated
at Red Bug Lake Park.

1047
00:46:09,730 --> 00:46:12,380
Other than that, that
is all I have to report.

1048
00:46:12,380 --> 00:46:13,000
Thank you.

1049
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:16,660


1050
00:46:16,660 --> 00:46:18,100
I'm not going to
try and top that.

1051
00:46:18,100 --> 00:46:19,270
That was good.

1052
00:46:19,270 --> 00:46:20,410
I would like to mention--

1053
00:46:20,410 --> 00:46:24,020
I believe it's been mentioned,
but, speaking of historical,

1054
00:46:24,020 --> 00:46:25,510
I believe this is
the first meeting

1055
00:46:25,510 --> 00:46:26,890
that we are livestreaming.

1056
00:46:26,890 --> 00:46:30,800
So I know it was a
process to get there.

1057
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,760
The city is really good
about dotting the Is

1058
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,550
and crossing the Ts,
so glad we got there.

1059
00:46:36,550 --> 00:46:38,230
And I know we're
going to do it right,

1060
00:46:38,230 --> 00:46:39,320
like we do everything else.

1061
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:44,950
So it just gives another
opportunity for the public

1062
00:46:44,950 --> 00:46:48,070
to see what's going
on and, again,

1063
00:46:48,070 --> 00:46:50,230
nice to be in the sunshine.

1064
00:46:50,230 --> 00:46:52,930
So thank you, staff.

1065
00:46:52,930 --> 00:46:54,970
Thank you, City Clerk Gardner.

1066
00:46:54,970 --> 00:46:57,350
Thank you, IT, for
getting us there,

1067
00:46:57,350 --> 00:46:59,403
and everyone else
involved, thank you.

1068
00:46:59,403 --> 00:47:00,070
Have a good evening.

1069
00:47:00,070 --> 00:47:02,590


1070
00:47:02,590 --> 00:47:04,930
I'd just like to add on to that.

1071
00:47:04,930 --> 00:47:09,050
I think that livestreaming
is extremely innovative.

1072
00:47:09,050 --> 00:47:13,510
It's been around a little while,
but to be able to take it today

1073
00:47:13,510 --> 00:47:15,250
and incorporate it
live on our website

1074
00:47:15,250 --> 00:47:16,720
and be able to
provide captioning

1075
00:47:16,720 --> 00:47:21,220
and make things so accessible,
it's astounding to me.

1076
00:47:21,220 --> 00:47:25,030
We have made great strides in
making meetings more accessible

1077
00:47:25,030 --> 00:47:28,660
by pushing meeting times from
5:00 to 5:30, but as we know,

1078
00:47:28,660 --> 00:47:30,820
there's still plenty
stuck in commutes

1079
00:47:30,820 --> 00:47:32,240
even during those times.

1080
00:47:32,240 --> 00:47:35,410
So for those who might
have health issues

1081
00:47:35,410 --> 00:47:38,170
or work takes a priority
or any other reason--

1082
00:47:38,170 --> 00:47:39,550
family dinner calls--

1083
00:47:39,550 --> 00:47:41,970
for them to be tune
in and join us online,

1084
00:47:41,970 --> 00:47:44,640
I think we'll hopefully
see greater engagement

1085
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,350
and hopefully more access.

1086
00:47:47,350 --> 00:47:49,270
But hello, everybody.

1087
00:47:49,270 --> 00:47:50,010
Thanks so much.

1088
00:47:50,010 --> 00:47:53,170
Appreciate it staff and clerk
and IT for all your hard work.

1089
00:47:53,170 --> 00:47:55,770
Thanks again.

1090
00:47:55,770 --> 00:48:01,390
Well, the last two commissioners
beat me to the punch

1091
00:48:01,390 --> 00:48:01,890
on that one.

1092
00:48:01,890 --> 00:48:04,570
I was going to thank
everybody was involved

1093
00:48:04,570 --> 00:48:05,370
with getting this done--

1094
00:48:05,370 --> 00:48:09,030
IT, I know our clerk--

1095
00:48:09,030 --> 00:48:10,980
she did a lot of work
getting this put in.

1096
00:48:10,980 --> 00:48:12,330
I know it's a challenge.

1097
00:48:12,330 --> 00:48:16,420
Everything always looks
easy when you're doing--

1098
00:48:16,420 --> 00:48:19,140
especially when you're
streaming a service.

1099
00:48:19,140 --> 00:48:20,957
There was a lot that was
involved to get this done.

1100
00:48:20,957 --> 00:48:22,690
So thank you, everybody
that was involved with that.

1101
00:48:22,690 --> 00:48:28,500
Also, I'd like to also
congratulate Mike Johnson again

1102
00:48:28,500 --> 00:48:30,090
for all the work he's
done in the city,

1103
00:48:30,090 --> 00:48:33,520
and then also recognize
the historic Casselberry.

1104
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:35,440
I want to continue that
conversation going.

1105
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,750
I think there's a lot to offer.

1106
00:48:37,750 --> 00:48:39,060
And if there's
something else that we

1107
00:48:39,060 --> 00:48:41,580
can do to bring
recognition to it,

1108
00:48:41,580 --> 00:48:44,010
love to keep those conversations
going because I think it's

1109
00:48:44,010 --> 00:48:45,810
going to be a big
part of who we are,

1110
00:48:45,810 --> 00:48:48,690
who the city is moving forward.

1111
00:48:48,690 --> 00:48:52,380
OK, well, since our
last meeting I'll

1112
00:48:52,380 --> 00:48:55,500
go through some of
the stuff that I

1113
00:48:55,500 --> 00:49:01,110
was involved in with the city
manager and Mr. Aramendia.

1114
00:49:01,110 --> 00:49:03,690
We went to Seminole
State College

1115
00:49:03,690 --> 00:49:11,520
and looked at the county
manager candidates

1116
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:17,130
and got to meet the
finalists for that.

1117
00:49:17,130 --> 00:49:20,520
And quite honestly, they
chose the individual

1118
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:25,110
that I thought was probably
the best suited for our area.

1119
00:49:25,110 --> 00:49:29,370
So that was interesting.

1120
00:49:29,370 --> 00:49:34,050
Went ahead and attended the
Chamber of Commerce meeting

1121
00:49:34,050 --> 00:49:37,560
and went to the MAC
meeting in downtown

1122
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:43,920
Orlando, where our Winter Park
Drive project was presented

1123
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:52,410
by our consultant and Dr. Brock,
and it was very well received,

1124
00:49:52,410 --> 00:49:57,330
and it fit right in
with the theme of DOT,

1125
00:49:57,330 --> 00:50:04,030
and Dr. Brock was recognized
by everyone for his work.

1126
00:50:04,030 --> 00:50:08,160
And that was a feather in
the cap of Casselberry.

1127
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:12,840
And I pointed out how
Winter Park Drive was not

1128
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:16,350
only important to Casselberry,
but important to the region

1129
00:50:16,350 --> 00:50:20,820
because a lot of people use that
road to avoid the intersection

1130
00:50:20,820 --> 00:50:23,760
17, 92, and 436.

1131
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:27,300
So hopefully, that
will get fast-tracked

1132
00:50:27,300 --> 00:50:30,120
and get on the agenda.

1133
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:34,740
I also attended the police
building topping-off ceremony

1134
00:50:34,740 --> 00:50:36,990
and toured the
building, and really

1135
00:50:36,990 --> 00:50:40,540
impressed, one, with the space.

1136
00:50:40,540 --> 00:50:42,910
It's something that they'll
be able to grow into,

1137
00:50:42,910 --> 00:50:46,800
and it really is an impressive.

1138
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:51,250
And they are working with
the supply chain issues,

1139
00:50:51,250 --> 00:50:55,470
but it's very comforting
to know that we've

1140
00:50:55,470 --> 00:51:00,510
got a good team on the project.

1141
00:51:00,510 --> 00:51:04,080
Attended the Tri-County
board meeting.

1142
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:10,590
And we should appreciate our
city clerk and assistant city

1143
00:51:10,590 --> 00:51:15,600
clerk because I got the
minutes of the board

1144
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:19,380
for the board meeting five
minutes before the meeting.

1145
00:51:19,380 --> 00:51:25,170
So it made it interesting
to read to the minutes

1146
00:51:25,170 --> 00:51:27,900
before we could approve them.

1147
00:51:27,900 --> 00:51:32,580
Outside of that, I went to
the South Seminole Academy

1148
00:51:32,580 --> 00:51:39,660
this last week and judged
the Shake competition.

1149
00:51:39,660 --> 00:51:44,460
It was very interesting
and really enjoyed that.

1150
00:51:44,460 --> 00:51:49,260
Former Commissioner Hufford
encouraged me to attend that.

1151
00:51:49,260 --> 00:51:52,270
And the kids were just spot on.

1152
00:51:52,270 --> 00:51:56,130
If you've never been
to one of those,

1153
00:51:56,130 --> 00:52:00,030
they had 10 stations
set up in the gymnasium.

1154
00:52:00,030 --> 00:52:03,330
And they brought the
students in, 10 at a time,

1155
00:52:03,330 --> 00:52:05,160
and they had three
waves of them.

1156
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:07,260
This was the semifinals.

1157
00:52:07,260 --> 00:52:11,730
And they tasked
these kids with--

1158
00:52:11,730 --> 00:52:13,890
they didn't know what
they were coming into,

1159
00:52:13,890 --> 00:52:18,180
and they tasked them
with different tasks.

1160
00:52:18,180 --> 00:52:20,130
They're judged on
their handshake,

1161
00:52:20,130 --> 00:52:22,215
their presentation, their--

1162
00:52:22,215 --> 00:52:24,730


1163
00:52:24,730 --> 00:52:27,510
I took the station
where they had to pick

1164
00:52:27,510 --> 00:52:30,600
a random item out of a bag.

1165
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:37,380
And there were just Kleenex
and a candlestick holder

1166
00:52:37,380 --> 00:52:39,120
and just different
items in the bag.

1167
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:42,440
And they picked one
item out of that bag,

1168
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:45,740
and they had to
develop a commercial

1169
00:52:45,740 --> 00:52:49,160
and sell that product to me.

1170
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:54,410
And they were judged on
their presentation there.

1171
00:52:54,410 --> 00:52:57,290
It was just a good--

1172
00:52:57,290 --> 00:53:04,490
and one kid went to the
national finals last year

1173
00:53:04,490 --> 00:53:09,860
and came in second from
Casselberry, the Academy.

1174
00:53:09,860 --> 00:53:14,100
And he was in this
program again this year.

1175
00:53:14,100 --> 00:53:16,490
And he was dynamic.

1176
00:53:16,490 --> 00:53:18,350
It was impressive to--

1177
00:53:18,350 --> 00:53:20,910
and we're talking middle school.

1178
00:53:20,910 --> 00:53:23,120
These kids are learning
life skills that are

1179
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:26,490
going to last them a lifetime.

1180
00:53:26,490 --> 00:53:29,730
So it was very interesting.

1181
00:53:29,730 --> 00:53:33,120
Unfortunately, went to--

1182
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:38,480
Dede Schaffner's memorial
service was held Saturday.

1183
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:46,350
Those who knew Dede know
what a dynamo she was.

1184
00:53:46,350 --> 00:53:50,930
And I will tell you, she
was a school board member,

1185
00:53:50,930 --> 00:53:53,060
but it went way beyond that.

1186
00:53:53,060 --> 00:53:58,760
This lady was a school board
member for like 16 years.

1187
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:02,030
But her dedication
to Seminole County

1188
00:54:02,030 --> 00:54:06,890
and the children of Seminole
County was second to none.

1189
00:54:06,890 --> 00:54:12,290
This lady worked until the day
she died for Seminole County

1190
00:54:12,290 --> 00:54:15,980
and for the betterment of the
children of Seminole County.

1191
00:54:15,980 --> 00:54:18,920
And if you didn't
know, you missed

1192
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,770
one heck of an opportunity.

1193
00:54:21,770 --> 00:54:25,790
I know Anthony has
worked with her closely.

1194
00:54:25,790 --> 00:54:29,360
She was involved in
the arts program.

1195
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:32,870
She started the Dividends
program in Seminole County.

1196
00:54:32,870 --> 00:54:39,470
She started the Red Bag program
for food for the children.

1197
00:54:39,470 --> 00:54:42,980
She had her fingers
in everything.

1198
00:54:42,980 --> 00:54:49,700
Anybody that knew Ms. Schaffner,
when she started approaching

1199
00:54:49,700 --> 00:54:52,190
you, you knew either
you were going

1200
00:54:52,190 --> 00:54:54,710
to get into your
billfold, or you

1201
00:54:54,710 --> 00:54:57,800
were going to be
volunteering for something

1202
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:01,510
because she was that dynamic.

1203
00:55:01,510 --> 00:55:05,090
She had that presence about
her to where she was going

1204
00:55:05,090 --> 00:55:06,380
to pull you into whatever.

1205
00:55:06,380 --> 00:55:09,290
She had a passion
for what she was

1206
00:55:09,290 --> 00:55:12,170
doing that was second to none.

1207
00:55:12,170 --> 00:55:14,870
And at her service--

1208
00:55:14,870 --> 00:55:16,610
if you want to
call it a memorial

1209
00:55:16,610 --> 00:55:23,480
service or celebration
of life-- was

1210
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:26,000
really a good tribute to her.

1211
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:31,010
And Seminole County
lost a leader,

1212
00:55:31,010 --> 00:55:35,120
and that was kind of sad.

1213
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:38,240
Also, attended the
Florida League of Cities

1214
00:55:38,240 --> 00:55:40,940
webinar today--

1215
00:55:40,940 --> 00:55:42,600
legislative priorities.

1216
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:47,400
And I'll talk about
that a little bit.

1217
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:51,020
And then on the 16th,
I'll be going to--

1218
00:55:51,020 --> 00:55:52,550
Leadership Seminole
is going to have

1219
00:55:52,550 --> 00:55:58,160
a visioning where they pulled
community leaders together.

1220
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:03,830
On that same day,
shortly after that,

1221
00:56:03,830 --> 00:56:06,410
I won't have to leave
Lake Mary because we're

1222
00:56:06,410 --> 00:56:10,070
going to have the Tri-County
League of Cities there.

1223
00:56:10,070 --> 00:56:12,320
And the city manager and
I think the city clerk

1224
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:14,990
is going to be attending that.

1225
00:56:14,990 --> 00:56:20,270
On the 21st, we're going to
host Mayors and Managers here.

1226
00:56:20,270 --> 00:56:25,880
So those of you that want to
join in are more than welcome.

1227
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:32,900
The 23rd, I will be attending
the police awards ceremony.

1228
00:56:32,900 --> 00:56:35,840
So we'll be doing that.

1229
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:39,710
And on the 24th,
I've been invited

1230
00:56:39,710 --> 00:56:47,270
to be the keynote speaker at the
Aviation Maintenance Institute.

1231
00:56:47,270 --> 00:56:49,220
We're going to have a
graduation ceremony,

1232
00:56:49,220 --> 00:56:54,080
and I've been asked to be
the keynote speaker there.

1233
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:59,390
On the second, we'll have a MAC
meeting, and on March the 7th,

1234
00:56:59,390 --> 00:57:03,110
we'll be doing our
budget workshop.

1235
00:57:03,110 --> 00:57:07,430
But as far as the webinar for
the League of Cities webinar,

1236
00:57:07,430 --> 00:57:11,930
they're going to be coming up
with a five-year water plan.

1237
00:57:11,930 --> 00:57:16,190
And one of the items that
we need to pay attention to

1238
00:57:16,190 --> 00:57:19,910
is House Bill 361.

1239
00:57:19,910 --> 00:57:24,320
And every Monday morning
during the session,

1240
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:28,280
Florida League is going
to be highlighting what's

1241
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:30,120
transpired, what's coming up.

1242
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:32,690
So if you want to
stay abreast of what's

1243
00:57:32,690 --> 00:57:34,880
happening in the
legislature, that's

1244
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:38,790
an opportunity to do that.

1245
00:57:38,790 --> 00:57:41,980
And also, another
hot button issue

1246
00:57:41,980 --> 00:57:51,100
is they're calling it accessible
housing in the legislature,

1247
00:57:51,100 --> 00:57:54,670
workforce housing,
affordable housing,

1248
00:57:54,670 --> 00:57:57,490
all the same kind of things.

1249
00:57:57,490 --> 00:58:02,470
But they're looking to
increase the Housing Trust

1250
00:58:02,470 --> 00:58:06,940
and the issues that
we have already

1251
00:58:06,940 --> 00:58:14,090
dealt with and passed as
legislation as far as density--

1252
00:58:14,090 --> 00:58:16,810
they're going to be
talking about that

1253
00:58:16,810 --> 00:58:24,500
and fast-tracking those kind
of things through the process.

1254
00:58:24,500 --> 00:58:30,340
So when people develop
adjustments to their comp plan,

1255
00:58:30,340 --> 00:58:36,740
they're going to look favorably
upon increasing the density,

1256
00:58:36,740 --> 00:58:38,120
which we've already done.

1257
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:40,900
So we're kind of a
step ahead of it.

1258
00:58:40,900 --> 00:58:44,410


1259
00:58:44,410 --> 00:58:46,330
Both the Ship and
Sail programs--

1260
00:58:46,330 --> 00:58:49,330
if you don't know
what they are, you

1261
00:58:49,330 --> 00:58:52,540
need to get educated on
that because the state's

1262
00:58:52,540 --> 00:58:58,660
looking to put $700 million
to those two programs.

1263
00:58:58,660 --> 00:59:06,040
The Senate president is taking
up the mantra of live local.

1264
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:12,700
And that's where they're
supporting local housing

1265
00:59:12,700 --> 00:59:15,410
and local rents and so forth.

1266
00:59:15,410 --> 00:59:28,383
So House Bill 671 and 383 are
both going to be something

1267
00:59:28,383 --> 00:59:29,650
that we're going to
watch, and they're

1268
00:59:29,650 --> 00:59:32,800
going to try to look
for streamlining

1269
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:37,840
the permitting process for
building permits and so forth.

1270
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:43,760
And the next webinar is going to
be February 23rd at 2 o'clock.

1271
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:47,020


1272
00:59:47,020 --> 00:59:51,950
And that's for the
Prelegislative Webinar,

1273
00:59:51,950 --> 00:59:55,060
and that'll be the last one
before the legislature hits.

1274
00:59:55,060 --> 01:00:02,120
And I intend on going to
Tallahassee during the session.

1275
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:05,140
So I'll be up there for
that for a couple of days.

1276
01:00:05,140 --> 01:00:07,840
Outside of that, I don't
think there's anything else.

1277
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:08,770
Did I miss anything?

1278
01:00:08,770 --> 01:00:10,240
No, that was very complete.

1279
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:12,400
OK.

1280
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:15,490
Nobody has anything else
for the good of the cause?

1281
01:00:15,490 --> 01:00:20,380
I apologize for being
so windy, but we'll

1282
01:00:20,380 --> 01:00:21,580
call the meeting adjourned.
