[8:20] So please forward that and we move on to the consent agenda

[8:29] we have three items on the consent agenda

[8:33] The One he wants to discuss I just want to Five

[8:40] item C for budget correct?

[8:44] That's correct So you agree that it's fingerprint it's overtime

[8:50] for police officers So yes it's not ordinances on the audience.

[8:58] Question to speak to the item on the consent agenda So

[9:10] hearing were present for submitting a motion for action

[9:15] to make a motion that we have 70 U.S. seconds.

[9:21] Motion was such a motion favor.

[9:24] I First item on the agenda items I do.

[9:32] I want So this is kind of a follow up to the conversations

[9:42] So I really dive into it So i'm looking at this budget.

[9:53] So if you're looking for make a suggestion

[9:56] on potential future agenda item, first of all.

[10:00] So the floor since 2018, we have decreased our village

[10:05] rate once, twice, three times.

[10:07] This elderly study for Six out of the eight

[10:14] that basically seven out of the eight years including

[10:17] the one that's coming up, would be it would be an increase

[10:19] So I'm bringing that up is that we'll or actually decreased

[10:25] our millage rate when the economy was during the shutdown

[10:30] So I just want to give you something

[10:32] that we really focused on for at least around 2023 to about 2025.

[10:39] So many of us on this board have made many comments

[10:42] that we were doing this with with anticipation had

[10:46] to potentially have increased in order to put inflation was down.

[10:51] So we've had 33.4% inflation since 2006 years.

[10:56] So what that means is that all cost of goods and everything

[10:59] was expensive So how we do our business,

[11:02] how we pay people everything because everybody's

[11:05] all employees.

[11:07] So that's part of the cost inflation

[11:10] So why bring in the SOP is because there are so

[11:14] many different areas with your So you have to vote military

[11:19] But what I'm looking to is some potential For example there's

[11:25] an increase or there's an increase on the budget

[11:29] for this year that would help pay for updated servers

[11:34] to concentrate in around cyber attacks

[11:37] is becoming a big issue Thank you.

[11:38] So it have the cyber attacks so IT departments

[11:43] as we had this is just an example for always

[11:46] an increase of $70,000.

[11:48] So this is going for and that means some of the cyber

[11:50] attacks Castleberry are utilities and the fact,

[11:53] the citizens scouts so whatever posing here

[11:56] is really hard to set up for is while millage is currently

[12:04] at its current rate to suspend commissions pay until we can get

[12:09] it back down and to sustain that and to freeze

[12:14] or maybe even doing away with commission during this time

[12:17] period And all I'm asking is if the city manager maybe could

[12:20] just take a look at what it looks like compared

[12:22] to the military How does this factor maybe bring

[12:25] it back to the commission.

[12:27] So are you asking you suspended what You feel on the military?

[12:35] Correct.

[12:35] OK.

[12:36] Yes.

[12:36] And then to do i don't know requiring board just to rate

[12:52] anything you do to change.

[12:55] I change your salary You do it by working increase or decrease

[13:01] It's affected the work So spending a salary that's

[13:12] a different So maybe get to what it would

[13:18] look like a comparison Yeah.

[13:21] Just because it's a temporary millage.

[13:24] Yeah.

[13:24] Yeah Very good.

[13:26] Yeah that's it.

[13:29] Yes I have And I'm not exactly sure what

[13:34] i'm recommending We do.

[13:36] I guess I want staff to make a recommendation

[13:39] but we received a communication from our residents

[13:44] Resident regarding this was causing property damage

[13:48] And so I went back and I read the ordinance that was passed

[13:51] in 2017 that created Castleberry as a sanctuary

[13:56] And I'm not proposing that we shouldn't

[13:58] be a bird sanctuary anymore but my understanding

[14:01] is is individuals.

[14:02] Now we're able to file an insurance claim against cities

[14:05] insurance policy for their property damage

[14:08] and having an effect on insurance

[14:10] and is One thing insurance companies don't like.

[14:12] You to do is file claims.

[14:15] So I don't know if we could just get a relook at that ordinance

[14:19] to see if there could be any slight modification perhaps

[14:23] in an instance where there's an ongoing nuisance we could have

[14:27] several county capture or relocate

[14:30] or just I don't I don't know what I'm recommending

[14:34] but if I were the residents and I was continuing to state

[14:38] property damage and there was a city ordinance preventing me

[14:41] from having the peaceful enjoyment of my property,

[14:44] that would be a problem for me.

[14:46] So well, we could make a discussion.

[14:53] I don't suppose you could tell from the ordinance copy

[15:02] the drive if you still will see the first section, which

[15:06] states was because the residents people Well,

[15:13] we prefer to protect the peacocks

[15:24] So we responded that the majority So let's not have that.

[15:39] I don't know what the rest of the commission wants to be.

[15:53] Are we not concerned about at all about insurance place

[15:56] and the fact is this could be an ongoing issue

[15:58] if we continue to just deactivate it,

[16:02] making sure it's going to be so we'll just have

[16:10] to see if there's a company like this

[16:20] because we have a duty to Yes.

[16:23] So so, so much time resolution resolutions So city is to speak.

[16:52] No question Yes.

[16:57] So Section 4.6 of the charter it does

[17:01] say that no ordinance can increase

[17:04] the salary shall become effective

[17:06] until after the next election.

[17:08] So it's possible that there could

[17:11] be a decrease for we're going so we can

[17:19] actually address it further.

[17:21] I'm just looking at we're looking at different areas

[17:23] where you know, to residents this again, if this is just

[17:29] ridiculous oh, I did protect your we

[17:38] actually had to make it is one.

[17:43] So but we also have Two different things that we feel

[17:46] that we would like to keep on.

[17:47] My to do a village right to increase

[17:51] the police officers on that decrease our city average.

[18:02] That's why I just want to see what it would look like.

[18:06] It appears to decrease that.

[18:12] Yes but I'd just say thinking about this,

[18:17] does the massive amount I think really the problem

[18:28] But we're before.

[18:35] So I thought, you know, this might be entirely.

[18:40] it is what it is for commissioners.

[18:42] I will be prepared to be with you on our next meeting

[18:47] but I'm not sure if this with any of you

[18:50] all just basic budget revenues for the facilities

[19:02] Budget Workshop was concerned.

[19:05] The public service was because right.

[19:14] You archaeological draft unpredictable

[19:20] Sure We still need to the budget related to the public service.

[19:28] That's franchise fees.

[19:30] Also also we should 42 other.

[19:42] So the budget so given that to the budget to the general fund

[20:03] to balance you are $300,000.40 so what salaries security city

[20:20] you be so to offset each fund we'll talk about we can move

[20:37] on a resolution 2635 five you read that by resolution 26-355,

[20:48] a resolution of the city commission of the city

[20:51] of Castleberry, Florida accepting the annual

[22:19] and financially sound statements for the city

[22:23] open one, including this of this process

[22:27] and help us achieve this important milestone I really

[22:30] appreciated And that coach, Mr. Andrew Pearson and manager

[22:36] of so our auditing he's be ready to accept

[22:41] financial help Thank you very much

[22:50] mr. Mayor of the Commission.

[22:51] Thank you.

[22:51] You.

[22:52] So I'm here to kind of go over the results of the audit

[22:55] for fiscal year 20 So just starting out,

[23:02] there was a separate letter provided to the commission I'm

[23:07] going over the items, the key items here is that the audit

[23:11] adjustments are identified.

[23:13] And this is the direct result of the finance chief

[23:17] and all that doing just an excellent job preparing

[23:19] everything for us So starting off with that deliverables,

[23:23] we start off with the Independent Auditors Report.

[23:26] So you've got a for result, which

[23:27] is called unmodified opinion.

[23:29] So once again, a credit to your financing The next

[23:33] is the Yellow report or report on internal controls.

[23:37] What's or no findings inside of internal controls.

[23:40] So once again, an excellent job by your team.

[23:44] Same thing for your report.

[23:46] Compliance for the major federal program.

[23:49] So for your friends.

[23:50] Oh, there were no findings related to the federal Finally,

[23:56] we have two other items that are required for the floor statutes.

[24:01] So the first is the Salmon Fish Report That's compliance.

[24:04] And that was also clean and safe.

[24:07] Management letters, you know, management letter comments.

[24:09] So that's moving on to kind of the financial highlights,

[24:16] just some of the things to find out there's a lot of numbers

[24:19] here and I'm not going to go through each one individually,

[24:21] but just One of the things that to know

[24:23] is the unrestricted position.

[24:25] You're in a positive unrestricted position for both

[24:28] your governmental and business type activities for fall,

[24:32] and that you have positive change in that position over

[24:36] or both governmental business types.

[24:40] Next is the governmental funds.

[24:42] Now, as you see here once again, you have a positive on a sign

[24:48] balance of 14.4 million.

[24:50] So that's really good.

[24:51] There was a change of change in balance of a -2.5 million.

[24:56] But if you take a look here, based on the budget,

[24:59] your budget $5.6 million decrease

[25:02] and you only had a 2.5 million decrease.

[25:05] So that's 3.1 million difference from the budget

[25:09] in the positive direction.

[25:11] So that's that's all I have for you.

[25:15] Question so we're just your thoughts are financial position.

[25:26] We have won the government award many years in a role because we

[25:31] have a staff Yes I just like to state for the record,

[25:37] we in My balance, just reminder during this period committee,

[25:47] I fulfill literature something like $2 million

[25:51] to complete the work was funded As we progress So strong

[26:04] improvement things Three questions,

[27:19] what's required by the larger previous firm go

[30:38] So I could actually see what exactly changed.

[30:40] And it really is minimal.

[30:42] Mostly just housekeeping again.

[30:44] So I just appreciate you taking the time

[30:46] to recognize the housekeeping needed to occur

[30:48] and getting it modernized for us.

[30:50] Thank you There should be just something that I overlooked

[30:55] Hopefully there is something important to administratively

[31:00] and it's got to be with these folks maybe 6 or 8.

[31:05] You just mentioned the government accounting

[31:07] standards for of housing.

[31:47] software purchases with this ministry of high level

[31:55] staff to one or bulk of this policy

[33:25] your department Good evening.

[33:32] This is being brought forth to you

[33:36] to increase our currency of $25 per you search to $75.

[33:44] This fee has not been increased since its inception

[33:47] back in 2000 12.

[33:52] So there is about approximately an hour's worth of staff time,

[33:56] but it's taken to generate this report This is done.

[33:59] We received three more multiple requests every month

[34:04] from various title companies for this for basically

[34:07] every real estate transaction that occurs in the city,

[34:10] whether it's resident or commercial Last year,

[34:16] just click here We processed 815 requests compared

[34:23] to 486 in fiscal year 2011.

[34:29] in the the time to do it.

[34:30] Unfortunately has not decreased We said so far this fiscal year

[34:37] through August 4th, we've already processed 737 requests,

[34:42] which means we're on a trajectory

[34:44] to exceed last year's.

[34:47] It is something that we have to generate actually

[34:51] a public record to produce to people, which is why we're

[34:54] able to charge a special service fee for this

[34:59] And it is not unreasonable In fact, it

[35:01] is in line with all of our sister cities in the area

[35:04] right now.

[35:06] I know where springs charges $80 is

[35:11] right around there as well, 75.

[40:54] among other valuable information and action items

[40:58] identified locations within the city

[41:00] with high number of cities dangerous crashes with state

[41:05] report 36 being the highest So following completion

[41:08] of decisions action plans, Metro Rail endorsed

[41:11] received an additional six for a funding order

[41:15] to further initiatives The subsequent City Commission

[41:20] approved an agreement with Metropolitan

[41:22] to fund a road safety secret for day six,

[41:26] with the goal of identifying potential countermeasure

[41:29] strategies to improve safety measure.

[41:32] Orlando hires officers and peers to contract with them

[41:36] to facilitate completion of this work

[41:39] and they will be set in a second to discuss

[41:43] the methods and efforts they use to complete the groups to be so.

[41:51] At this time, I would like to address the city's de defense

[41:58] status for is a first year to begin

[42:02] the review and the facilitated discussion that will hopefully

[42:05] lead to project recommendations for Mayor The Commission

[42:15] needs to solve domestic fears.

[42:17] And I guess was a few obstacles for 36.

[42:21] So just to give you a little bit of project background

[42:26] so the existing conditions, so I'll skip over those just

[42:29] a lot more time for us to discuss some

[42:31] of the recommendations that talk about next, what comes after So

[42:37] a little bit about background, but before we jump on this,

[42:40] just wanted to kind of define what a road safety audit is

[42:44] The federal Highways defines it as a formal safety

[42:46] examination of an existing future

[42:49] by independent types of searching keyword that we're

[42:54] going to get out of this.

[42:55] What is the law When we did the road safety audit with out

[42:59] in the field of variety of disciplines, engineers,

[43:03] planners see.

[43:06] So details of all city staff was approved,

[43:10] even though the fire department also really wanted

[43:14] to look at the different angles, different perspectives

[43:17] to make sure that we're covering everything

[43:23] so the purpose of this policy is really to build

[43:26] on previous efforts efficiency priorities,

[43:28] as you mentioned earlier, identify

[43:30] some practical solutions steps towards designing construction

[43:37] So the process, what we saw so far,

[43:39] we analyze that safety system, conditions

[43:42] for crash data for data from transit walk the corridor.

[43:47] We have this part of the events that you all have.

[43:53] We engage with someone The commissioners

[43:58] work or president, so that one we conduct the field review.

[44:03] So far we've developed preliminary recommendations

[44:05] so far, so what we want to guess here

[44:08] is some goals What you've developed.

[44:11] You saw we submit a report to you

[44:13] to have these thoughts and one thing

[44:17] what we've got to see them all come up with some process

[44:21] elements of the discourse, analysis

[44:23] and provide some space and recommendations for you

[44:27] to use So a little bit about the project or direction,

[44:34] although there are some areas where it goes up 4

[44:38] or 5 miles in this direction.

[44:40] So the cross section does very varies between 45 miles an hour,

[44:47] miles an hour north and south of how much in terms of traffic

[44:52] volume between 44,500 and 10,900 vehicles per day 22,000

[45:00] direction, direction So just a little bit about the safety

[45:07] numbers between 2021 and 2025, there roughly 13

[45:12] crashes almost equal for 606.

[45:17] Out of those 18 involve somebody being

[45:20] killed or severely injured.

[45:21] So i out of those 18, five were fatal crashes and 13

[45:29] more serious injury crashes.

[45:30] So we're having serious injury.

[45:32] Those crashes that the people were not able to walk away.

[45:35] So these either loss of limb or their license

[45:40] seriously altered that crash from looking at it

[45:46] from the modal standpoint, there were

[45:49] 19 crashes 25 crashes and 21 motorcycle crashes Now,

[45:53] if you read this map on the right, four out

[45:56] of the five fatal crashes involve

[45:58] somebody outside of people.

[46:00] So we wanted to make sure that when we were looking at this

[46:03] for when we looked at that, we're really thinking about how

[46:06] people outside of the vehicle are able to move safely

[46:09] from here The level of traffic stress

[46:14] was another metric that we used.

[46:16] This is one of the uses Evaluate how comfortable

[46:21] people walking or biking can also traverse

[46:27] such a long range cycle.

[46:28] If feel comfortable walking for for very little comfort.

[46:33] People often shy away from the goal As you can see,

[46:37] we have a levels of traffic stress three

[46:41] and above throughout the floor.

[46:42] So tells us that people really don't feel comfortable

[46:45] walking Typically, when we design this,

[46:51] we're trying to get to below also

[46:55] to have access to and on below is what we want to design for.

[46:59] Similarly for bicycles, it was a level traffic trucks for 40

[47:03] or so not necessarily comfortable for the bike

[47:09] just a couple of pictures that we

[47:11] did as I mentioned, was a motorist agency that went out

[47:18] there Here you'll notice there was a big drop off along a lot

[47:24] of segments a lot of portions of the corridor that don't have

[47:28] handrail or pedestrian real.

[47:29] So this presents a severe risk for people that

[47:33] might have visual disabilities or fall into

[47:35] or even saw a lot of fights on the sidewalk

[47:38] So any mistake people can actually

[47:41] fall into that dish You do see a lot of things

[47:46] here from what we out there, utility poles traffic evidence.

[47:51] So there was a lot of evidence of people

[47:54] hitting things along and about.

[47:58] They also went out there at night Talk

[48:01] about street lights One of the things I noticed

[48:04] is that the roadway itself does provide some somewhat sufficient

[48:08] lighting, but when you get to the sidewalk,

[48:10] if there's not a private property that does provide

[48:15] a lighting for the sidewalk, there is not So cars typically

[48:21] have enough lighting, but the pedestrians don't So here

[48:26] for the recommendations I noticed quarters of some that

[48:32] have been studied quite a bit here is just

[48:35] show you project for us to spend a little time on it.

[48:42] One of the things that I want to mention I

[48:44] know there still, I think the for the goals the project.

[48:48] So the goals with project to use has going on right now

[48:52] and the idea was to supplement some of the recommendations that

[48:56] are in the goals with project.

[48:57] So with some other portal ride recommendations and some more

[49:01] specific ones also So with part of the goals of project

[49:06] and reconfiguring delays to be 12 foot outside, inside lanes,

[49:12] updating some locations for perhaps

[49:16] some needs and standards modify some pedestrian clearance So

[49:23] in section.

[49:23] I think more on the some small of the four

[49:29] So in addition to those recommendations,

[49:32] we wanted to look at this in three buckets.

[49:34] The first one was trying to do six poles.

[49:37] So what we mean by those is if you have different trouble,

[49:42] pass the consequence along the corridor where there's a vehicle

[49:45] and another vehicle or vehicle.

[49:47] And so that's the we wanted to try to remove that exposure,

[49:51] minimizing as much as possible of the other bucket,

[49:54] minimizing this.

[49:55] So giving us a level exposure of what can we do.

[49:59] So minimize the likelihood of somebody getting into a crash

[50:03] And the last one, what you see on the slide is minimizing,

[50:07] lowering the severity.

[50:08] So if and when that happens can we make it

[50:11] that everybody walks away?

[50:13] We know that crashes are not necessarily unavoidable,

[50:15] but if that crash happens, how do we minimize or any

[50:18] of the people that are so on the corridors so far,

[50:24] we know that there's a shorter service plan between 1792.

[50:28] We have the drive we wanted to another shared use path

[50:34] either on one side or both sides on the street

[50:37] to make that pedestrian and bicycle environment a little bit

[50:41] more comfortable and safer off.

[50:44] We've already spoken to links and they've agreed in theory.

[50:51] So combine and relocate bus stops where we have cross.

[50:56] So we want to make sure that where people are getting off

[50:59] the bus, that they don't just get on the bus

[51:01] and just cross as they get off So

[51:03] it's kind of sort of where we want to place minimizing risk.

[51:08] I mentioned earlier having pedestrians really drop off

[51:11] hazards once slight modification that we're recommending instead

[51:17] of the 12 foot lanes and 11 foot outside lane,

[51:20] we would recommend an 11 foot outside lane, which

[51:22] is what's before the transit.

[51:24] And it's ten, 15 slightly.

[51:25] So kind of minimize minimizing that pavement

[51:28] with so minimizing exposure.

[51:31] A lot but also making a little bit less comfortable

[51:34] for people to to go faster to see the 80 day assessment

[51:41] recommendations for patients We recommend going to assessments

[51:48] throughout the entire floor and see some of those deficiencies

[51:51] that we saw out there.

[51:52] And then again, evaluating and investments

[51:57] feel like as needed throughout the floor for that

[52:00] of the sidewalks So on the severity side,

[52:05] installing guardrail in the fall to fix the objects,

[52:08] look at located within the chairs.

[52:09] So if somebody runs off the road that they hit a guardrail.

[52:13] So the utility for so wherever feasible and again, that

[52:18] takes a little bit more studying at this level within one,

[52:22] we wanted to get you to look into it so that we can see some

[52:28] of those objects So the second one

[52:31] is implementing the first move.

[52:33] So what that is is with technology,

[52:35] this really happens late at night time

[52:39] when there's less traffic People tend

[52:41] to speed a lot more The main line typically has between just

[52:46] largely on the side streets we get the green on the left

[52:50] is a car a couple on side streets would

[52:53] just technology does is somebody is going

[52:57] to speed above the speed limit it will

[52:59] get them the rest of the stuff.

[53:01] So for some to slow down cut off So we're recommending consider

[53:09] technology this for those The other one

[53:15] is to change the target speed, design

[53:17] speed and forces speed to 40 miles an hour

[53:19] for the entire corner.

[53:21] So the thought behind that one was

[53:23] want to have something that's a little bit more predictable.

[53:26] Some areas that are 45, some areas that a 40 line

[53:30] recommendation, but more importantly

[53:32] we realize that additionally this hit at 45 or 50 miles

[53:36] an hour the outcomes are to be more severe

[53:40] So we wanted to figure out what was the speed

[53:43] still provides a certain level of protection

[53:46] or reduces the severity of those crashes,

[53:49] but still maintain some level of mobility.

[53:52] So 40 is what we felt was something that you might find

[53:55] palatable without a lot of pushback

[53:59] for that time in the entire war to coordinate the signal up

[54:05] to the new target, the posted speed So

[54:06] what that means is we'll have size

[54:09] of tell drivers to five just for the speed

[54:12] because the portal is 40 miles.

[54:15] So what happens is the 40 miles an hour you'll get rough So fast

[54:22] drivers the motor driver forces The other thing was to evaluate

[54:27] the ability of like, this takes a little bit more on the side

[54:32] with the cyclists for 48 2020s so year for this

[54:38] and you missed that signal.

[54:40] You have to wait for those three minutes before you give you

[54:43] So we wanted to see if there was another way to get some.

[54:46] If you cycle makes a little bit slower sometimes

[54:49] you have some more will have slight limits to get

[54:53] people to wait for that instead of just

[54:57] taking you go that one off.

[55:01] Before I get into the specific recommendations,

[55:03] I want to just pause for second to see if anybody has questions

[55:06] comments, feedback before I do that i'm for 36 specifically,

[55:13] but there are roads that I drive on that.

[55:16] I sometimes feel like if an 18 wheeler early bus or something

[55:20] is coming up alongside me, I feel like you're practically

[55:22] in my late So do you know how you those things are

[55:27] and how that fits in?

[55:29] I and so why let me talk about the list.

[55:33] Most of the length bus or an 18 wheeler

[55:36] or just any of those massive things that feel like they're

[55:38] encroaching upon my life.

[55:39] I'm sure they're not, but they feel like they are So

[55:42] for I can't speak for those because I just don't

[55:46] specifically look for 36 of usually the bus with the mirrors

[55:51] on almost Right.

[55:54] So that's why they require 11ft on the outside lane,

[55:56] which is where the force typically travels.

[55:58] Appreciate it.

[55:59] Says.

[55:59] So if you look at most design manuals of Florida Design, Metro

[56:04] specifically, you'll see that they allow

[56:06] ten foot lanes on the inside and on the outside of the lane

[56:11] on the outside, when transit is present

[56:13] is required because oftentimes buses

[56:18] inside having essentially the most

[56:20] cars So typically have a little installing six circuit.

[56:34] You have two buses to get away because they're

[56:41] coming to the street.

[56:43] So they're going to and for 36 right now certain sections

[56:54] they are 48 for lights that if it's

[56:58] a corridor like the buses that's also

[57:04] the way that the buses stops.

[57:07] So based on that, they're going to look like.

[57:10] So if they get to one of their sections,

[57:12] they have to go to travel 11.

[57:18] I understand that the 11 foot to ten, no say, oh, no no.

[57:24] The is not the travel space I'm talking

[57:30] about the ones the what's this study

[57:37] out 36 I like that portion.

[57:40] So yes So the turn is maybe always is also.

[57:48] But what I'm recommending is for so awesome the lane stays

[57:55] the way it is, which is literally the 11 foot lane

[57:57] is the plaintiff's vehicle.

[58:00] So that's one of my memories right?

[58:07] So five inches of.

[58:13] So I was talking about the bus.

[58:14] I don't know I just love for like close to i,

[58:24] I drive a fairly large vehicle I'm hypersensitive to it.

[58:27] But it just sometimes I feel like,

[58:29] oh my gosh, which makes me want to swerve over a little bit,

[58:32] you know So I am in favor vitalized by us

[58:38] And that's typically the idea is to just do the feel a little

[58:42] more gradual, slow down.

[58:43] So you do you know, I mean, I don't drive for 36 that often.

[58:50] But I feel like every single time

[58:52] I do, I see no less than three people just darting

[58:57] across, not at a crosswalk.

[58:59] And you know, I appreciate that recommendation to move the bus

[59:03] stops closer to crosswalks.

[59:04] I don't know what that does to slow traffic because a bus is

[59:07] not stopping closer to an intersection

[59:10] So I don't know how that impacts that.

[59:13] But I don't Any other recommendations

[59:16] on how we prevent people darting across the street

[59:19] where they're not supposed to have a question on the course.

[59:26] You keep mentioning guardrails and sidewalks

[59:29] because the sidewalks especially in the south, for 36,

[59:33] you have three, four, five feet.

[59:35] And then you have the ditch in many of those areas.

[59:39] If you were to increase only because of the limited space

[59:42] that you have commercial property in the actual right

[59:46] of way, you can go ahead and you can do it

[59:48] eight and ten wide sidewalk by default.

[59:51] That's going to require you to have

[59:53] to do some sort of retention retention

[59:56] wall for that guardrail that you're

[59:59] looking to do on the sidewalks.

[1:00:01] If the person doesn't slip into the ditch

[1:00:03] So before we even go down to that message to someone

[1:00:08] to actually go and do retaining walls

[1:00:10] should the conversation just be just cover the drainage ditches

[1:00:13] and do the proper piping for it?

[1:00:15] I agree that that's another expensive one.

[1:00:18] That was one part of the conversation

[1:00:20] that we first started talking about.

[1:00:22] Recommendations with city staff that want to

[1:00:25] actually got thrown off what we should recommend changes

[1:00:30] throughout the entire board But I know with the 21 million

[1:00:34] that you all that might not go a long way.

[1:00:37] So it was what can we do in the meantime ?

[1:00:41] We know that, again, this is going to be something

[1:00:43] that a lot more study.

[1:00:45] So what usually comes after the second piece of it is

[1:00:51] the designers are going to have to figure

[1:00:53] out what can implement this.

[1:00:55] So what you know, what if you don't actually

[1:00:59] So that's sort of what you see.

[1:01:03] So that's that's a big A, big recommendation.

[1:01:08] The proposed change for parking on the street like Lane

[1:01:19] and the county line is a storage of stormwater storage

[1:01:27] in the center of that road familiar with the ditches

[1:01:36] on both sides.

[1:01:37] But there is a culvert a large culvert

[1:01:42] that was put in there from the county line

[1:01:47] all the way down to lane in the center.

[1:01:50] Median So for sure water storage, just so you know,

[1:01:57] because i used to travel that road every day

[1:02:00] while I was putting it out.

[1:02:02] So that's but this has been a of our projects

[1:02:09] for a long i serve on so the plan orlando

[1:02:16] back and this has been something I've been

[1:02:21] harping on for quite some time.

[1:02:23] But there were at least two addresses

[1:02:27] because like it was said earlier,

[1:02:29] it's out there for people trying to cross that road.

[1:02:36] So without crosswalk So I'll just so this is, again

[1:02:47] the project what they're recommending as part

[1:02:50] of their recommendations of advice

[1:02:52] some more crosswalks those are on just largely by the way,

[1:02:55] those are not on the main line This is the that goes with some

[1:03:01] of the recommendations that they asked

[1:03:03] for a site specific locations.

[1:03:07] One was to remove two off lane.

[1:03:09] So this is what would also come off

[1:03:11] would also be a really a lot of times they see a problem

[1:03:14] where it's a cool lane.

[1:03:16] And with this intersection you have

[1:03:18] to turn it comes up again at the right past the intersection So

[1:03:23] what they're recommending is for locations to remove

[1:03:27] that continuous turn lane and just maybe

[1:03:30] make it a dedicated like a sidewalk.

[1:03:32] If you're going to the 30, you turn off.

[1:03:35] And once you get to the past, the intersection

[1:03:39] will start off again.

[1:03:40] So that's part of the project are recommending that they're

[1:03:45] really really applications of the recommended mobile place,

[1:03:52] which are extensions on the side streets of a couple locations

[1:03:56] also the reasons I think you might have mentioned this,

[1:04:01] they're recommending 3002 locations along the border

[1:04:05] So to supplement some of these recommendations,

[1:04:07] we thought there of some other site specific recommendations.

[1:04:11] The first one is at Lake Holly So what

[1:04:16] I'll show you is, is just an example of the concept

[1:04:19] just so you'll be able to visualize what we're thinking,

[1:04:21] what we're talking about, just so i this whole mission field

[1:04:27] is proposing that resort island on the north west corner.

[1:04:33] So we're recommending extending the median parcel across a lot

[1:04:37] of this will incentivize people to slaughter turns

[1:04:42] as they're turning off of 436 onto the side street.

[1:04:45] And also gives a little more comfort

[1:04:48] as they're waiting in there That's across the street.

[1:04:51] So if somebody has a mobility impairment.

[1:04:53] And they don't make it all the way through during the war

[1:04:56] phase, you haven't actually have some kind of a refuge

[1:04:59] for them to wait before making a decision

[1:05:02] on And also where that also is on the south southwest coast.

[1:05:08] Also having a mobile Just don't forget,

[1:05:12] we use a statement distance from the intersection

[1:05:14] is a little bit tighter So for the whole road,

[1:05:20] we actually came up with two recommendations.

[1:05:22] The first one place to go to concept.

[1:05:29] So duty also has a Breeze Island is a proposing road What we're

[1:05:35] proposing is alternate number one

[1:05:36] is of matched up with another recycling

[1:05:39] point on the other side.

[1:05:40] And then again, extending the the median

[1:05:44] as a second alternative.

[1:05:45] We thought it might be better to actually change or reconfigure

[1:05:49] that corner altogether and make such a feel a little bit more

[1:05:53] complex when we were out there, we saw people

[1:05:56] taking that at high speed So that's one of the things

[1:06:01] I've said.

[1:06:02] What can we do to make it a little bit more comfortable

[1:06:05] for people that are crossing the So that's

[1:06:13] one is provide pedestrian features

[1:06:15] facilitation surrounding corridor.

[1:06:17] So this is just kind of concern about having more crosswalks

[1:06:22] So we know this is not the perfect scenario

[1:06:25] for existing average crosswalks which is about 2000.

[1:06:29] So this would reduce it to about 1,200 feet off the crosswalks

[1:06:33] don't mark crosswalks.

[1:06:35] So again ideally, you would have one every 600ft, but you know,

[1:06:40] that would not be palatable and feasible But at least that gets

[1:06:44] us a little bit closer to what would be something so some

[1:06:48] somebody would want to walk and they it'll be a way

[1:06:52] to incentivize folks to use more crosswalks instead of just

[1:06:56] going from there right across with

[1:07:00] 20 yards from the crosswalk.

[1:07:01] So and so this is an example of what we're

[1:07:07] thinking about with Beacon.

[1:07:09] So we specifically said we wanted

[1:07:11] to have a staggered crosswalk And the reason

[1:07:14] why this is staggered is it forces the pedestrians

[1:07:17] to look in a direction kind of traffic

[1:07:20] crossing from side to side.

[1:07:23] You get to the median, you have to look

[1:07:25] in traffic before you cross.

[1:07:27] The idea is to have some make sure that people are looking so

[1:07:33] directional because across just so 44 of I

[1:07:40] want to see if your feedback on the recommendation

[1:07:43] So for questions i'll be more I have a question

[1:07:48] for you on that last crosswalk that we just saw If there's

[1:07:53] a person that's in that middle area It's exactly

[1:08:31] That would be my reservation especially be interested

[1:08:39] in trying to create OK.

[1:08:42] Thank you for so what a pleasure.

[1:08:51] Let's go on out there right now for the living

[1:08:55] in the little bolsters.

[1:09:00] Making people turn off.

[1:09:03] It's helpful for the bottle.

[1:09:05] How many times i've been passed by somebody using the term

[1:09:15] so you turn like three blocks I still need to put one bulk of it

[1:09:28] a little because there's a long stretch that are still them

[1:09:41] This whole thing, it's always been something else.

[1:09:45] Hard for years, but it was working

[1:09:50] for we talked about turtles Oh so,

[1:10:01] so you i'm using the term foot So the next step with this

[1:10:21] is a small piece of finalized recommendations based

[1:10:23] on a feedback address food, the audit report to FDA

[1:10:28] to for their approval and recommendations The draft report

[1:10:33] has already been submitted The staff recommends

[1:10:35] are looking at right now.

[1:10:37] And once they get once we get to kind of rough that off.

[1:10:41] So Deputy one of the things we're going to see processing

[1:10:47] the facility owner ask for swaps or what

[1:10:51] they will be implementing you know,

[1:10:54] what they're not expecting.

[1:10:56] And so the process actually puts them on notice

[1:11:01] The city know what like for once we get

[1:11:06] this will develop a process.

[1:11:08] Like I mentioned, the cost analysis

[1:11:11] you finalize order important provide sensitivity

[1:11:15] That's speak cost because you have so much money,

[1:11:23] you it's difficult back to.

[1:11:27] So that's where you know what you've got what you've got

[1:11:31] is great.

[1:11:33] But the cost analysis is so the other questions I guess really

[1:11:47] is the 36.

[1:11:53] Yes 30 Is any of that going to be included

[1:11:59] The 436 course side Right.

[1:12:07] Well, the good thing I told you about this,

[1:12:16] it's more complicated Thank you.

[1:12:25] Thank you so so I on the agenda citizens comments.

[1:12:48] This is time during the commission

[1:12:52] meetings and citizens are able to address this first question.

[1:12:57] So since my use is time to submit or have an issue

[1:13:01] or make inquiries on topics the not on the current agenda as

[1:13:08] well the Commission staff may be available for after the meeting.

[1:17:26] But I will around this.

[1:17:29] I'm going to go forward to that rental and I'm pretty sure.

[1:17:32] I don't know if that ratio is to make it

[1:17:34] over, especially that last one.

[1:17:36] It's just very steep.

[1:17:39] The rest and resting was really cool.

[1:17:41] I would it seems newer and for interested to hear

[1:17:46] from the police and from the fire department

[1:17:48] how that interacts with emergency vehicles

[1:17:51] and if it's going slow them down or how to

[1:17:54] And I wonder if people catch on to it.

[1:17:57] But there are not first coming because I'm used to.

[1:18:01] Oh, there's going to be a car coming I think.

[1:18:05] Oh, well, it's just like, why are

[1:18:07] they going to be more inclined to just

[1:18:10] run it without consequence.

[1:18:11] So interesting I'm just, again from this first responder

[1:18:16] perspective for interested in then

[1:18:19] I slightly do anyone else see forward name and address

[1:19:17] Mitchell lester, thanks a lot.

[1:19:21] Thank you Because there's way before I got here,

[1:19:30] sorry So again on behalf of the people, thank you Anyone else ?

[1:20:04] Hello, my name.

[1:20:05] Excuse me.

[1:20:06] Colleen Queen Mary Circle.

[1:20:09] I'd like to speak just briefly on the peacocks

[1:20:11] to go into longevity I have had over 70 years.

[1:20:15] I've been here most like likely for whole subdivision was part

[1:20:21] of where they were part of the Cassowary Estate

[1:20:25] part of the barn, and the horses were there Just the lifestyle

[1:20:28] that was created in that area I want you to know

[1:20:32] that the sandhill cranes are excuse me

[1:20:34] I'm going to talk about them to the people.

[1:20:37] Actually, come on over here.

[1:20:39] They go back in their weight coats.

[1:20:42] So they are part of horse It just looks like

[1:20:45] area So they have a lot of noise at 6:00 at night They are crazy.

[1:20:53] The occurrence and so are the now tonight.

[1:20:58] And so are some noisy birds.

[1:21:00] I think they're egrets or something that scream at 5 a.m.

[1:21:03] in the morning so they create something

[1:21:07] wonderful in our community.

[1:21:10] The nights or take advantage of just

[1:21:12] being there a place that's quiet and rolling

[1:21:17] and noisy But I'd rather hear that silence.

[1:21:21] No animals at all So I think that things need to you know,

[1:21:26] really be discussed on this because this quality of life

[1:21:31] issue for the community and for the area.

[1:21:34] So i just hope that you all will be going on.

[1:21:39] If you get rid of sandhill curse use me to get rid of peacocks

[1:21:44] then.

[1:21:45] Oh, well, maybe we should get rid of sandhill cranes

[1:21:48] Oh, maybe we should do this.

[1:21:50] So I think that it's kind of like it's a bird sanctuary,

[1:21:55] and we are very blessed to have some pretty

[1:21:57] pretty birds over there My kids, my grandkids.

[1:22:00] We lock.

[1:22:01] We go see them when they come visit They are part of our area

[1:22:05] So I just think that they see very seriously about.

[1:22:10] Thank you.

[1:22:11] Thank you.

[1:22:13] Anyone else So One of the five south slightly

[1:22:28] I'm in favor of holidays We moved in 23 years ago

[1:22:33] when we looked at our property there was a gorgeous view

[1:22:38] is beauty on the lot.

[1:22:40] We chose We were hopeful that our field instead our home

[1:22:44] did not drive them out.

[1:22:46] It did not.

[1:22:47] The only thing that has driven these animals off these wild

[1:22:51] has been construction and hurricane We were devastated

[1:22:55] for the last hurricanes came through

[1:22:57] and our peacocks went away to come allow to come back.

[1:23:01] They came back very, very happy to have These are wild in this

[1:23:06] is their neighborhood, not ours They were their first family

[1:23:11] tree that we are going to be finally an insurance

[1:23:14] claims against the city.

[1:23:16] So wild animals.

[1:23:17] So people can now start going for the squirrels that do damage

[1:23:21] in their houses, their breasts.

[1:23:22] They get up in their attics the nice little teeny tiny hands

[1:23:26] that love electronic house You destroy your computer This is

[1:23:33] there are ways to prevent peacocks from attacking

[1:23:36] your car There are ways for people

[1:23:38] to keep peacocks on your side.

[1:23:41] The lady has kept the garden herself slightly spruce.

[1:23:46] They go away.

[1:23:47] Classically, but that's okay.

[1:23:49] We need to remember that they were here first.

[1:23:53] There, allowing this in their neighborhoods So we

[1:23:56] need to get a little bit of respect here.

[1:23:59] We had a bird sanctuary for a reason Next slide, please.

[1:24:03] Sandhill cranes protected owls, protected woodpeckers,

[1:24:07] all of which live in this neighborhood

[1:24:09] So we need to be careful with this.

[1:24:11] Thank you.

[1:24:12] Thank you so what else ?

[1:24:29] Very nice thing.

[1:24:30] Them will close up for some meeting Friends

[1:24:36] report for just a quarter.

[1:24:44] Again, a what we do for such policy.

[1:24:51] There is a simple control Also some clarification there.

[1:24:58] My experiences.

[1:24:59] One of the consequences of the bird bird

[1:25:04] sanctuary our city to service animal

[1:25:11] was to respond to lady complaints.

[1:25:17] All chickens So this difficulty to go through.

[1:25:27] OK so we really wanted to do something for our thinking court

[1:25:46] I just want to let the public know

[1:25:48] that we have our food truck.

[1:25:50] That's to surprise 46 design.

[1:25:53] And out here like concord Park and also to advise the public

[1:25:58] again that are qualified for candidates for city commission

[1:27:40] I think that's what guys reserve for So yes so really,

[1:27:56] I just want to say this to you.

[1:27:58] That's amazing that I Desjardins is an asset.

[1:28:05] Definitely.

[1:28:05] And it's definitely what happens with the city.

[1:28:15] So he's doing great.

[1:28:16] He's been doing a great job.

[1:28:17] He was always a kudos And then One other thing, too, I

[1:28:21] just want to add on to the financial report There

[1:28:23] was a there's 18 reports an audit

[1:28:27] started to come back the same.

[1:28:30] So that's about how will you respond

[1:28:37] to the city and your language?

[1:28:46] You know, the report, it's just i've always

[1:28:49] said that it is the way the city is is actually

[1:28:54] makes our job easy does such fantastic job Yeah.

[1:29:04] In terms of the financial audit also.

[1:29:06] Congratulations.

[1:29:07] Good job I serve this most recent year along

[1:29:10] with some commissioner Phil Pepper

[1:29:12] and Michael on the audit selection committee.

[1:29:17] So we were taking our fees for various financial firms

[1:29:22] and wanted to become our new auditor

[1:29:25] And the fact that this year was so delayed

[1:29:29] was certainly a factor in us deciding

[1:29:31] to recommend to the commission your reported

[1:29:35] to and sort of going forward.

[1:29:37] So I share your concern about the delays

[1:29:41] that we have there I also wanted to share that I spoke

[1:29:46] with Donna today and I went through my filing

[1:29:49] to front for my seat.

[1:29:52] I just cannot in good faith ask citizens to vote for me

[1:29:57] for a four year term because I have some other service

[1:30:01] things that I want to pursue.

[1:30:03] And I'm not confident that I would be able to fulfill

[1:30:06] the entire four year term.

[1:30:08] So I just don't feel it's the right thing

[1:30:11] to ask voters to vote for Back into my seat

[1:30:14] when I and I'll be able to fulfill.

[1:30:17] But I will continue to fulfill the rest of my term with 110%

[1:30:22] for it's been a real honor to be on the commission

[1:30:26] and work with you some get some understanding,

[1:30:30] know you have a lot more power than I do

[1:30:36] So you saw how to do the same thing to i'm

[1:30:42] going to have so much fun with that.

[1:30:44] The work.

[1:30:46] Thank you.

[1:30:46] Seriously former commissioner for towards

[1:30:50] the end her career July 29th.

[1:30:54] We actually have this chamber for great Chamber of Commerce.

[1:31:00] What it's like to hobnob very well attended

[1:31:03] actually raised $20,000.

[1:31:06] And that money actually goes to the small scholarships

[1:31:11] within our community as well.

[1:31:12] So this actually honors close to 40 million candidates.

[1:31:19] Some people from the community came out

[1:31:22] was very appreciative of just being some of these candidates

[1:31:25] when we're one state.

[1:31:29] We also hosted all a speaker at the Casper Chamber

[1:31:35] and pretty much field was like Where do you see

[1:31:39] yourself five years from now?

[1:31:40] So ten years from now?

[1:31:42] It's amazing how many people lives over here that's 5 or 10

[1:31:49] or 15, 20 year.

[1:31:51] Somebody i told I never had a five year plan put me

[1:31:53] where you need me.

[1:31:54] And said, I'll do what I need to do,

[1:31:56] figure it out And then after that,

[1:31:58] we also have county policy canceled after presentation.

[1:32:03] The sense of self OK, so this is what they did.

[1:32:07] Their public information officer,

[1:32:09] visa holders council president.

[1:32:14] And she created the Stanford self stake,

[1:32:18] which means all the state or thursday to decide

[1:32:22] to go for a we to see them before day

[1:32:26] workweek up to what happens.

[1:32:29] You just invites events at your office

[1:32:31] if they're just blasting usage here something on Stanford

[1:32:36] people enjoy the person give it a work break

[1:32:40] in what's going on as well.

[1:32:41] So it really takes off the the it just

[1:32:45] starts introducing the week and some of the employees there,

[1:32:48] which is great.

[1:32:49] And then we had a presentation by Kelly for short OK.

[1:32:53] So do do we have to you about it?

[1:32:55] Here's and that's the biggest issue

[1:32:58] is trying to get the message across that they don't

[1:33:02] provide resources to people.

[1:33:03] That's the biggest misconception It's a handout

[1:33:07] to so many hours of volunteer work that they must

[1:33:10] do to be able to qualify for.

[1:33:13] But most important to which even if you're not

[1:33:15] part of the program to go see full,

[1:33:19] there's a lot of other items that they offer

[1:33:22] and a lot of it's just fine.

[1:33:24] Essential services.

[1:33:26] Well, a lot of education with finances Many times

[1:33:31] you tell people you have a people that would actually apply

[1:33:33] for a full 95 of those people would not even

[1:33:38] qualify because One last item so over the edge

[1:33:43] that they really afford to be part of the program I

[1:33:47] first when I joined.

[1:33:48] So many years ago the conversation

[1:33:50] was providing affordable housing that conversation helped

[1:33:54] because we are various county to building

[1:33:58] now we more to sustainable scalable

[1:34:02] housing for to the point that you find overseas.

[1:34:05] So we received they received grants from the Kansas

[1:34:10] got $3.2 million.

[1:34:11] And it only went to 40 stations that we're

[1:34:15] happy to see that actually has their books perfect for.

[1:34:19] And so it was with a lot of that money that was places

[1:34:23] from that grant goes into developing these clinics instead

[1:34:26] of just one fill in house every so often it's like a hold

[1:34:31] So that was so telling Appreciate that.

[1:34:35] Like one of little tried county board hopefully

[1:34:47] get a lot of people relations at the church with the onset

[1:34:57] of the luxury advocacy is going to be in the forefront

[1:35:04] about what happens with the mandatory we're going

[1:35:12] strong voice go see whatever policies

[1:35:21] this is The more you have to have voice

[1:35:28] or and it doesn't pass.

[1:35:31] It's not going to go away.

[1:35:34] So efficacy is going to be a big part of all of my push.

[1:35:40] That's to be involved, people involved and getting our message

[1:35:54] So that's a productive we go because we're

[1:36:08] done Just about done so Yeah, I can

[1:36:37] I just Yeah I just want to do.

[1:36:40] I don't want to life.

[1:36:42] I don't want to try OK so it's kind of hard because Yes It's

City Commission Regular Meeting
